Where do the healthy Mavs rank in the Western Conference?
It sucks that all of this has to be hypothetical
Naaaah sorry, I can't sit here and pretend this team is trending upwards when they traded away the whole franchize!🤔
Dereck Lively looking like Derrick White in the thumbnail 🫡
Be me: deciding against my better judgment to put the Mavs on TV in AD's debut. It's the second quarter. The Mavs are kinda up big. Who's that in there? Kyrie, Christie, PJ, AD and Gaff. It just so happens that the first defensive sequence I see is one where PJ and AD both get a block and it leads directly to a Max Christie 3 pointer on the other end to put the Mavs up by 15. Then Gafford gets a block on the next possession and gets rewarded with an alleyoop that forced a timeout.
Holy ish. I got so excited in spite of myself. That sequence was exactly what I think we could expect to see from these Mavs when healthy. And it's a team that I could see winning 60+ games.
im excited to see defense and i cant recall the last time i said that about a mavs team.
Gonna depend on Klay, Pj, and Naji with their added opportunities.
luka was the offense. luka wont put up mavs numbers in LA with bron and reaves needing the ball. not till bron leaves
Slightly has lost hella weight
I hope lively learns how to shoot the 3 because for one time i want to see the lineup of Kyrie, PJ, Lively, AD, and Gaff lmao 🤣🤣 just straight, no hope in the paint for your opponent. That lineup would be rejecting shit like a bad bitch at an ugly man convention.
Horford is a pf so their just playing normal line up not 2 big
nobody under 6-8 or over 26 Nico thought I said 36 lol and no useless guards lol it wasn't complicated but know body listens lol
I’m surprised, the thumbnail is somewhat optimistic, maybe they’ve realized Luka was a bit overrated??? 🤔🤔🤔
Who cares about the Mavericks. I was only a fan because of Luka. Peace
I’ll cheer for the Mavericks again when Luka is back. I hope they lose every game
Slightly, I think Skin was saying that this summer the Mavs number one goal is to lively to short threes. I think they also shouted you out that same podcast so that might what you’re talking about
Bro did a locked on before slightly early smh lol
With three of the worst games back to back in Luka’s career I’m starting to understand Nico’s madness (and that’s what it is).
44 points on 45 shots
2 steals vs 12 turnovers
Only 27 minutes a game AND HE IS SITTING OUT TONIGHT IN A BACK TO BACK lol
He played around 100 games last season
(70 regular season-22 playoffs plus Slovenia) and clearly he’s both hurt and out of shape. This perhaps is a Zion-lite situation. He will still be great, just not as good and only in the playoffs. EARLY IN THE PLAYOFFS. He will continue to play for Slovenia and destroy his joints
LITTLE BY LITTLE. AS A FAN this hurts but maybe he can’t just turn it on and off anymore. Still think we should have traded him to OKC for 15 #1’s and three starters but maybe the word was out on him. The last nine months ruined his value when you combine his impending
70/M a year contract and his performance since the Celtics series.
Had we waited till the off season perhaps the offers would have been awful and he would have force us to sign him or lose him. Regardless if he has a great playoff series everyone will believe it was an awful trade. I’m hoping he sucks. I guess I love the Mavs more than I love Luka.

Luka wasn’t the Okc Torcher this year and last playoffs.. PJWashington is the one who kills Okc, not luka… we are 3-1 against Okc this year… The only lost is when Luka actually played …
Mavs won trade
As a Luka fan I’m really sad watching him in a Lakers jersey. I find myself rooting for the Mavs because I grew to enjoy watching Kai, PJ, Gaff and Lively play.
🦝🦝🦝
The three-man weave and Max Christie is all we have left to look forward to 😩
Now that Luka is gone and Kyrie is both old and expensive I think it’s time to bring in Tyus Jones. He’s a perfect fit for Dallas and will come at a reasonable price. They should definitely jump on that this summer.
Minnesota proved 2 big men does not work in the playoffs, when Luka led Mavs dismantled them. Putting Lively and AD plus Gafford means only one thing, Nico Harrison would trade Lively to the Lakers for one measly 2nd round pick.
These guys are on that Luka doncic diet
Screw the mavs. Ky knew nico knew. They waisted Lukas talent for 6 yrs and yesr 7 they got a deep deep team then they screw Luka over. Ofcourse mavs will win, but always remember Krie sold the boston series. That's why he will never be a top player mentioned . He is a snake who think esrth is flat
I just dont understand why yall would be scared of Luka & the Lakers. We know the guy better than anyone. IN KIDD I TRUST!!!
Lively overrated
Nick, Isaac AND slightly, is the only big lineup to dominate that we need!! Let them Cook!
Of course they can. But not this season of course… we call this the WIN NOW culture.😂😂😂
