He got out hustled by Grimes and Quickley within a cpl min time span. Then he didn't even appear to be trying to box out Robinson. That's a tall order but fk man, ypu gotta get a damn hand in there at least and keep it alive.
DP has never and will never be good at anything regarding rebounding.

At least the fans that paid money get some excitement with this late surge.
However, wtf is Kidds out of bounds play calling. That looked destined to fail

I disagree with that logic
They are missing a cheap rim protector and rebounder
I bet Sacramento or Orlando would give up R.Holmes or M.Bamba
They need another scoring option regardless of position instead of going after a big name player someone like Bognavich could fit that mode

1. Hahahahaha. Luka is a b ball god. End of discussion.
2. Dirk looks half drunk.
3. Luka spazzed out. Full on short circuit

I?m not expecting a move to make us contenders, but make a move that maybe gives you some roster flexibility or dumps some of these contracts. Honestly I just want them to break up the core of THJ, Powell, Maxi, and Bullock. I?d prefer to keep DFS, but wouldn?t hesitate to move him in the right deal.

That's what McGee was supposed to be. I'd love Bamba or Holmes.
We need a scorer but he needs to be able to penetrate.

Im with all that. I'd move Dfs with the rest of that "core" in a heartbeat. They're all good dudes, but Luka has been ready to contend for a cpl years now and not many others are.

Should have left Mcgee in the game
At least he grabbed a few rebounds
Powell just doesn't box out

If theybwere going to challenge, why the hell this one, but not on the blocking foul where Luka didn't really even touch him.

Good move by Kidd to get Luka the ovation he deserves after that performance. Incredible

Best player in the NBA surrounded by this team. What a failure of a FO. So happy for Luka and yet so sad for him...

Sad that Cuban is going to waste another generational player surrounding him with mediocre players.

He?s been hot early but he?s barely over 30% there this year. I?ll take my chances there then have him drive and dish it off for a layup.

They're not even mediocre. Spence and Wood are mediocre. Dwight Powell is the worst player in the NBA. Imagine starting him with the great Luka.

We need a cpl trades desperately. I love watching Luka magic and it's all I look forward too with the roster we have and the way this season has been going.

He?s far from the worst player in the NBA, but he shouldn?t be playing meaningful minutes for a team with title aspirations.

Idk. Spence is a good player, Wood is a really good player. But Luka is a legend and that makes everyone movable if there are deals that make us better. If we could have just managed to land Derozan...

They're good players, but they just can't carry the load. We need a load carrier.

He?s been bad, but was 5-10 at the time. You don?t want to tell your players not to close out. People have got to rotate.

Yea. I'm lost as to what they see in the build. Luka and Spence are the one ones who can fn dribble. Luka is the only player who can get anywhere he eats anytime. Spence can sometimes but that's why JB became so big for us taking the next step.
Thj,Bullock,dfs, can barely bounce the ball without it going off their foot an out of bounds. Maxi, DP and McGee have big holes too.

Just gonna say how happy it makes me that Cuban tweeted about Luka and every comment is about how he needs to build a team around Luka.

Starting center played 31 minutes and grabbed 0 rebounds
That is just impossible to do

Luka's teammates have to feel incredibly self conscious this morning as it took a herculean effort out of Luka to beat a mediocre team w/o maybe their best player. Odds are the Mavs will have another uphill battle at home against the lowly Rockets. Not a sustainable product.

From Bomani Jones: this is, by far, the best start to a season luka has had thus far. and the mavs are 19-16. that's organizational malpractice.
