I’m a Koopa Troopa! 🐢
I have Locked on Mavs in my top channels watched/listened on YouTube and I'm a Lakers fan lol.
Nemby has done miracles on me, my joy is back.
I just finished my first season in nba2k26 and Dwight Powell retired on me. Sad day in Mavs land. Bring back the old theme btw lol
Sadly this streak ends against OKC although we beat them twice last year without Luka SMH!!!
Fellow Mavs fans: We should NOT TANK. This team doesn’t give up. It’s full of dogs, they have grit, they are great defensively, and being without Kyrie and AD and Lively and still being able to have so many clutch games against the best teams shows how good we are even now because of our defense and depth. And hey, just look at the Pacers. They lost Haliburton and Myles Turner, their 1st and 3rd best players, and look how they are now. The Celtics lost Tatum, Holiday, and Porzingis, their 1st, 4th, and 5th best players, and see how they are.
We haven’t had AD, Kyrie, and Lively, our 1st and 2nd best players, and Lively in the Finals run showed he is arguably our 3rd best player. Now with PJ playing so good and with Flagg and with Lively being out so much time, it’s up for debate what kind of player Lively is, but he is for sure top 5 on the team.
So by looking at the Pacers and Celtics, it isn’t surprising that we have this record. But also look at how many clutch games we’ve played. We could’ve won a bunch of those. Now AD is back, Kyrie is coming back, and we can right the ship with AD and explode with huge wins once Kyrie and Lively are back in the lineup.
This team is legit. Don’t lose faith, fellow Mavs fans. We are still in the playoff hunt. We are not done yet.
And hey, I understand the logic behind tanking this year. I wouldn’t be mad if they do it. But we need to remember that draft picks are not safe bets and players like AD and Kyrie don’t grow on trees. We have AD and Kai who are arguably top 75 players of all time. We have them on the team next to Flagg, Lively, PJ, Christie, Gafford, and others.
We need to maximize this year of these players’ careers, not blow it all up and not trade AD. We can do it. Let’s go get that chip.
on a real note, jim carrey IS the grinch
about unsubbed on the 67 joke
Jim Carrey as the grinch is truly goated. Isaac is correct.
Personally, I’m beginning to fall in love with this team, in a way that doesn’t just allow me to move on from the trade, but I even prefer this brand of basketball with AD leading this team.
Nico still had to go, he showed zero empathy towards the fans and many of the staff throughout this saga, and he failed to compensate the organization in this trade, but the man had potential.
Its sad when my routine for the last few years has been getting in bed, putting on my headset and clicking YouTube to see what 🔥 yall dropped 😂 man keep it up I love yall man
Apparently I'm top 3% listener.. that good?
It’s hilarious how all of you now are praising Nico! WTF happened?
Jim Carey's Grinch is the acting version of Luka Doncic singlehandedly coming back against the Knicks in December '22
Thought you were referring to Nemby 🤨🤔
Kyrie Davis and Flagg can fight Okc
flagg is not clutch as he missed the bucket at the 2025 NCAA final four – flagg is a cluck and not a clutch player – flagg is a good player but not a franchise player
That blue hat 🧢 back again 🔥🔥🔥 need that Issac 😂
Grinch is the best Christmas movie
There's way too much pressure on Flagg at 18… but it's only my opinion.
I genuinely believe Ryan’s IQ is so high and his handle is so tight that OKC wont b as much of a problem to him. We’ll see about his shotmaking tho
