Luka has spent the last 6 years carrying this team on his back. We’re actually good now and he doesn’t have to do that anymore. We gotta give him some time to adjust to that new reality
I like the way you put that. He said it himself its gonna take him a little time to adjust to this new offensive system. Great win for the Mavs. Cant wait for Luka to come back.
All those years with awful teams Luka was the only bright spot, while making his teammates around him better, brunson grew alongside him, dorian finney smith , hell even dwight looked great at times. Gaff and lively play off of him so well, etc etc. seeing people discredit that man is honestly heartbreaking and pretty unfair
@@gmanfam8750 There is no team without Luka. Kai came to Dallas because of Luka and Thompson came to Dallas because of Kai and Luka. You can try to discredit Luka about his defense all you want. Curry is as much defensive liability as Luka, and somehow Kerr manages to hide him for so many years.
@@Svarun93pretty unfair to compare luka to curry when one is the greatest 3pt shooter and arguably the best offensive pg so far. luka has the ability to play great D, we’ve seen it in the playoffs last year but at the way he is playing right now. at his current state, his offense is not nearly good enough to excuse the lack of D. love luka, still do, he’s the heart of the team, he just needs to adapt to the mavericks new style of play that doesn’t revolve around him being the only playmaker that can create space and open looks. our roster this season runs so deep that once luka comes back and meshes with the new look of the offense, they could make another deep playoff run.
@@renato.v3667 Luka is great. But now he also has great team and they may win the tittle. IMO Luka should play less minutes , but with 110% energy. Not full game in 'energy saving mode'.
@@TheRealMoCY he’s been more than fine since the nets game winner two years ago 😂 I’ll admit the lakers stint sucked but that’s ok. I care about what he does as a Mav 😁😁
Mavs shot 50% from 3 and Onicks couldn't make a 3 to save their life. This game could have easily gotten to Knicks and people would be like we need Luka.
Dude is averaging lower usage rate than Jokic and you talking about him being a ballhog when Luka is also averaging by far his lowest usage rate. Also Jokic is not half as guarded or blitzed per possesion as Luka so i dont get why people want to compare
When the Mavs lose a game, fire the Kidd, please bring Luka back. When the Mavs win without Luka, Kidd is genius and the Mavs looks great….trade Luka, etc. Come on guys, Luka has carried this team for many years and played at an MVP level for the last three years. Dallas is a good team without Luka, with Luka champion contender. Go MAVS and put some respect on Luka’s name!
Tbh, I think Luka leadership style was the problem of Mavs, always want to be the centre. Whereas, Kyrie is a servant leader and everyone is finding their rhythm under him.
When I tell you I have Enjoyed watching Dallas play team ball w/o Luka…it’s been a dream come TRUE…those dudes plays Hard for Kai the General….I love how Kai allows these guys to come alive…Kai knows they are going to need all these guys period. Hardy worries me when he gets the ball…he needs to get some control and stop acting like a bull that sees red all the damn time.
@@ethicalhooperAt home only cuz in Dallas he cooked em with 35 pts. But Dallas as a team need improve and Naji and Grimes are nice additions plus spencer I think one more wing player completes them as a real threat to Cs
Luka needs to adapt to this fast pace when he gets back. Don't get me wrong, Dallas isn't winning it all without Luka but they also play well with pace. Less iso, more ball movement. Less bailout threes at the end of the shotclock too.
The main difference is the regular season is fast paced whereas playoffs is very slow and more half court basketball. Luka is the #1 player in the league when it comes to half court slow paced basketball. Nobody controls the tempo and gets the perfect looks for players like him. They need to find a way to balance both
@@ethicalhooperExactly but that’s also why Luka team never end up top 3 Seed and that’s what you need to be to win the championship. Luka need to avg like 26-28 ppg in the reg szn to be able win the chip in june.
Much better without Luka sorry.. No standing around watching Luka dribble it's action packed with everyone touching the ball and getting involved ... Luka shoots teams back in it that's why they've been losing the close ones .. Mavs. would of lose this one if he was there..
If luka can play with the team going like that , than really the sky is the limit and this is a multi c'ship team potentially with luka bringing his A game ..
Suddenly some mavs fan have become luka hater lol...if he is that bad then they should trade him...I think other teams are ready for so called " bad defender " luka doncic!!
53% 3pt only way they can win as soon as they get locked up a bit better or have brick night like mostly happens its over lol. Trade Luka so he can get a ring this team is joke.
😂 Yeah leave a team that you got to the finals with who also improved their roster afterwards 😂 Luka also loves the 3 ball himself. If anything the coach needs to shape up but mavs have been good what team and for who would he even be traded for ive seen people say nuggets but i doubt that shit would work
THIS NBA is a joke, 62 3points tries and they made 25, 40% percentage. why the hell do you still use this tactic if you can't hit the basket? ANunoby 8 3p tries, 0 made - somebody need to tell this fools they ain't Curry. on Cleveland - Hawks there were 90 3p tries and 35 made (38%). How the hell it makes sense to throw from 3 p line when it's easier to be closer to the basket and throw the ball? It becomes wrestling, it's not a sport anymore, they don't even try to compete, to be physical. There is a reason MJ and Kobe used mid range shots, they were in the 90% range on those shots.
Mavs fans, I beg you to start an online petition to trade Luka since most of you are saying the Team is better without Luka. I desperately want to see Luka go to another team and see how far Mavs can go without him. Only then you’ll truly realized your value. 😤
@@nhlforlife5980PJ Washington was not a starter for the Hornets. Suddenly he had the best games of his career against OKC in WC Semi Finals (with Luka) See DJJ in LAC, gone from almost 35 mpg in the last playoffs to barely 20 mpg nowadays. Luka's impact!!!
@@nhlforlife5980 because Luka is the only reason Mavs are relevant and is the sole reason why Mavs were able to aquire the guys they have now. The last game Luka played before injury they blew out Pelicans and Luka shot just 9/15, his lowest usage rate averages in his nba career. Yet you didn't cry that time and you surely didn't cry last year when he carried them in the west finals
It does to a point. He holds the ball too much that the role players couldnt find their rhythm. But a player like Luka is needed in the playoffs as role players feeds off any superstar in key games and pressure moments. Luka needs to play w/o the ball. This actually a decent squad that can win a chip multiple times, Dallas need to keep their current role player core. Pj, Lively, Gafford, Spencer, Marshall. Klay is actually a distraction
Poor guy had to jump on his troll account and waste his life commenting things he wouldnt dare to say to no one in real life. It's okay boy. When you grow up you g9nna cringe about this

Great music choice by the way
Luka should take off two weeks extra to do some cardio and play max 29 mins but with MAX intensity on both sides!
He needs to loose 10kg to be able to attempt that 😅

Gaff
Pj
Naji
Q
Ky
I hope Luka can learn from this. And not always looking for iso and just shooting step back three. I know his good but his killing the mavs chemistry.
need Luka for PO😂
Since we got Grimes and Marshall we get 80% of loose balls.

Glad the Mavs are getting better without Luka. They'll be legit contenders once Luka comes back too 💪🏾🙌🏼
I Wonder what Brunsen record against Mavs is, its got to be maybe 1-10
