[MacMahon] Luka Doncic stayed in to start the second quarter, got a bucket, took a foul and checked out. His season is over, barring a change in plans. Maybe the Mavs were trying to get him a standing ovation? That didn’t happen. There was a smattering of confused clapping.

Confused clapping is a great analogy for this Mavs season
Tim McMahon is a petty motherfucker lol
Imagine thinking u deserve a standing ovation for taking a WCF team to worse than OKC in the span of 9 months

And now Dallas is up by 15.
They deserve to both have the embarrassment of trying to tank their last game to keep a draft pick when they can still make the playoffs and to somehow fuck that up and make it anyway.
Did they announce in-arena that Luka was only playing the first quarter? Because if not I bet 90% of the fans in attendance didn’t know he was not going to play again. Why tf would they give him a standing ovation
If he demands a trade this summer that’ll be ba bad last game
Disgraceful. Businessmen making decisions that overrule the goal of winning. Hope they get fined and hope Luka leaves from this. He won’t be okay with it.
Smattering of confused clapping should be the motto of this year’s Mavericks team.
MacMahon really giving it to Cuban lmao

I dont get it, dont they want to make the playoffs?
What a failure of a celebration night. You’d think the Mavs would schedule Slovenian night earlier in the season to avoid situations like this. Yet another L for basketball terrorist Cuban.
Jeb Bush please clap. Kidding aside Dallas failed Luka this season. Sure he deserves some of the blame but he was truly playing MVP worthy game this season. He is also like 24, a proper vet in the team would have helped him out.
“Please clap.”
why do people think luka is requesting a trade lmao, rn? doubt it
Tim MacMahon is so tedious I can’t even enjoy the Mavs faltering. I’m certain the fans were, you know, thinking the team would try to win against long odds.
“confused clapping” makes me think of that dude in Not Another Teen Movie that didn’t know when to appropriately applaud
Goddamn, what a terrible trade.
Kyrie destroyed the mavs rather quickly 😂
Kidd’s pregame quote about “putting our best foot forward” and “not cheat the game” is just so great in hindsight.
Gonna take this time to ask the mods for double team flairs, I live in OKC and love the team and FO but I’ve also been a fan of the Mavs since Dirk. I would love to have both team flairs and continue crying to sleep every night
I will always think less of Luka no matter how this plays out.
Standing ovation for what his team sucking
Man there are some eerie ass vibes surrounding the mavs. I think luka requests a trade after this season
Such bullshit.
And we’re expected to pay full price for this bullshit.
They should get fined like $1 billion dollars
Lol imagine they win out and go to the playoffs trying to tank
talk about rigged shit. He had 11 at the end of the 1st, his betting line after the news was 11.5. He came in got a layup then checked out…just enough to get over the line. I don’t bet but that’s sus as hell lol
Pathetic organization with a generational talent and fans that deserve better. Cuban, get your shit together from the top down.
Imagine if a LeBron led team pulled this lmao this sub would explode
I am slowly getting more convinced that the Dallas Mavericks as a whole are not up to the height of player like Luka, including the fans that wanted the season to be over tonight just to get a 10th pick, when there were probably people from Slovenia coming to watch him on the arena.
Don´t have a clue what the guy thinks of this season and if a trade request is a possible scenario, but it would make total sense.
[MacMahon] Kelvin Benjamin stayed in to start the second helping, got a bucket, took some chicken and checked out. His dinner is over, barring a change in plans. Maybe the Mavs were trying to get him dessert? That didn’t happen. There was a smattering of confused clapping.
