Mavs look to take their vaunted defense to Cubs town
7pm PT/9pm CT
Time to break Ja’s 11 game win streak?
Will Desmond Bane become the Mavs bane of existence?

Dillon Brooks - LT ankle sprain
Yves Pons - RT Ankle Soreness + Health and Safety Protocols
Killian Tillie - Health and Safety Protocols
OUT
KP - Health and Safety
WCS - ???

Seeing THJ barking defense at other Mav players is a fn joke. Ole Timmy jumpshots needs to stfu and play. He doesn't have the history to bark orders or complain. Good dude n all.

We’re at that point where there’s no more excuses for Luka. Flat out needs to be better and do what it takes to be better

Be nice if Luka came to play this season. Can't hit the broad side of a barn.

Luka would be fine if he were... fit. His cardio and fitness level is catching up to him IMO.

What was that last turnover? Bench him if he doesn’t want to play. Literally yank the saggy sack of shit.

Basically gotten to the point that when Luka shoots a three, it’s basically a TO
0-5 on threes and 6turnovers

His non chalant turnovers is what bothers me the most.
He's done that like the last 2-3 years where he simply doesn't value possessions.
Btw dudes physique is totally different from his rookie season. It just seems like he decided after his rookie season that he doesn't have to work out until each season starts then he'll play his way into shape doing the season.

8-2 run the second Luka sits
Luka -1
Bullock +15
The one consistent thing this year has been that Luka is a net negative in nearly every game

Ok Luka seemed to focus after that terrible unforced turnover. But he still put up a long 3 that wasn’t really in rhythm.

The 3 point shot is the thing that is killing him shooting wise.
I mentioned doing the Knicks game he should chill out on some of his 3's and just continue to work the post and mid range.
That is where he has helped the team offensively the most.

Has Luka made his point yet?
F those talking heads Rose, Stephen A, Wilbon all saying they’d start a team with Ja over Luka.

Lol. Did they say that? I guess it’s not surprising given the knee jerk craziness that goes on here and Mavs twitter.

Mavs stopped shooting 3's in the 2nd half
Interesting stat Brunson didn't attempt a single three and Luka only had 1 after halftime if I'm correct.
Both PG's focused on getting inside or shooting mid range

Thromping complete.
Luka looked fat and slow first half. Someone gave him smelling salts at halftime. Drug test him.
ESPN talking heads can choke on it. Only we get to occasionally commit Luka slander.

Luka was magnificent in the second half. He showed why he’s superior to Ja/ Trae. His size, vision, and pacing just can’t be taught. Add in his immense half court offense/ mid range skill and it’s clear he’s the most complete young star since Lebron.

A lot of bitching about a guy who put up a 27/12/10 triple double on 12-22 shooting...

It’s easy to talk shit at the end after he had a surreal second half
When posters were critical of Luka he was
Shooting 35% from the field
0-5 on threes
-3 in +\-
5 turnovers to 5assists
Dozens of missed defensive assignments
His first half was legitimately shit

And the tale of two halves is the team in a nutshell. You just never know what team is gonna show up.
We've been playing much better lately, but it won't mean much if the three shooting woes continue.

It's one thing to say he's playing poorly. It's another to have hot takes like he should be benched, or, has been garbage all year.

My only issues with Luka continue to be his sloppy handling of the ball (passing) which leads to lazy turnovers most games and his lack of desire to stay in shape.
Dude is a walking triple double no doubt but imagine if Luka dedicated himself to stay in shape and value possessions early in games.
Also, I think he should cut back on 3's and stay aggressive more often on mid range shots and post up's.

Can't disagree with any of that. A lot of his threes he's forced into due to shot clock, etc., but he definitely takes too many ill-advised ones. The sloppy TO's are vexing as well, but to some extent, you have to take the good with the bad with his passing. One thing that has been great lately is his defense. He leads the Mavs in Defensive Win Shares since he came back.
