Im so happy to be watching NBA ball again. I think this team is underrated and Luka’s gonna be MVP
Gobert didn’t get the offensive rebound, we won the draft.
DLive is legit
oh i’m loving this defensive effort
Let’s go Grant what a block
omg rim protection
They’re really just chilling out there 😂
We’re building a house
This team is gonna have to shoot 50%+ from the field if they want to HOPE to win games…
Started kind of cold
Yeah they’re not ready to play lol – not gonna overreact
This is a tough watch
Nothing but threes. Come on man.
bro can we make one shot??
gobert still terrible
these calls are weak shit
Lively is gonna feast on the boards
Luka midseason form wincing 4 mins into preseason
Already convinced, fire JKidd
This is a starting lineup. Can we score a basket?
Lmao how do we have no offence whatsoever
Looking good guys.
This thread is in mid-season form already. Basketball is back bb ❤️
I know it’s the 1st 5 mins of the pre-season but wish we’d see some more creativity on offensive end — looks like the same stale, predictable style we’ve seen last season
2 of the most gifted offensive scorers in the world, yet one of them iso’s while the other just hangs back and doesn’t move — then when the iso fails, kick to someone standing still and force a contested 3… lol
Dwight Powell back at it again!
People in here defend Dwight Powell bro 🤣🤣🤣
Luka’s gf followed him to Abu Dhabi just to ref his game. That’s loyalty
Oh yeah Mavs basketball must be back if Dwight is smoking layups
How do you manage to brick a layup at 6’10
I see Dwight is still trash
Luka a walking highlight reel
I wonder if we can beat Real Madrid
