Luka Doncic keto diet, eliminate booze, processed sugar, and hookah. A former Mav franchise player did that after the 2006 finals loss. Can Doncic set aside his ego and become dedicated to team & helping his body out?
@@DawudCopherfield-h2b your arguement makes no sense luka has been playing since 16 but by your logic its his conditioning although this is the only season luka misses a stretch of games you dudes are dumb af
@@DawudCopherfield-h2b I'd rather him go on a carnivore diet. I've done both keto and carnivore and both will result in a lot of weight loss, but carnivore will maintain more muscle mass.
What do you think about Klay having the highest plus minus all season out of any Mavs? Passes the eye test I think throwing some more GSW actions into the playbook for this stretch that Luka is out will be good for the team
This year really concerns me because how does the Mavericks believe they'll have a deep playoff run when we can't get the whole team to play 10 games together ,without someone sitting out for some reason or another. I understand that we need everyone healthy for the playoffs, but they don't play together enough like Boston or a OKC type team. I'm really concerned as a fan and a Raccoon Squad Member!!!!!!
Kyrie’s passing isn’t an issue. Kyrie plays allot off ball to get his teammates involved. Kyrie does create looks for his teammates, but they need to make their shots for him to get assist.
Yeah, obviously this dude thinks Ky plays like Luka. You can't ask Ky to be the point guard, or his turnovers will increase. His best version is playing off the ball.
The issue is he's the best on ball guard we have now. You can spell him with others which is what they've done all year but the balance has to lean towards him on ball more and not just to score. The offense has been rough the last few games aside from him. It's not a knock on Kyrie he's been awesome.
You realize the mavs tov ratio this season is significantly higher than last season and there is a coincidence to that. Kai should get at least 6-8 assist without luka. So yes he needs to be a playmaking pg when luka is out. Playing off ball doesnt excuse non playmaking abilities. You dont need to dominate the ball to playmake.
@@zhanehhylton6868 The man clearly orchestrates the offense without having the ball. He’s literally on the court telling everyone where to go. He even does it when Luka is playing. Y’all need to actually watch the games instead of JUST watching Luka and listening to this podcast.
@@ALEX808s did you you see that i said he didnt orchestrate offense or that kai needs to be a better playmaker. You dont understand what playmaking is and its clear. He doesnt generate easy shots for himself and when he gets doubled he struggles. Like i stated nick and i are right about kai passing your a kai biased fan who dont want to see it
Get Healthy Mavs and improve fitness durability, flexibility the whole Team!!!! We desperately need durability to go places these playoffs!!!! Lets goo Maavs!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I like Gafford but when you can't guard in space, and all your points are 5ft from the basket and there no 15 ft jump shots mixed in. It won't cut it in the playoffs
I'm blown away by how these top athletes in tip top condition get injured IMO so easily. I'm an old man and been banged around in the Oil field with back breaking physical labor. Just seemed like when I sustained an injury I kept on keeping on. These NBA players get a sniffle and need time off. So what I believe is a mix of load management and just need a a few days off to deal with whatever.
Yea u pretty much said it in the end, nba players could play thru most of their injuries (I think Luka’s playoff run last year proves that). The coaching department just decides not to let them do that to prevent lingering injuries (like the one Luka js picked up). On the other hand, I do also think playing professional basketball every day on the biggest stage does increase the risk of injuries.
To clarify yes he is causing alot of Deflections to the number of those guards but he doesn't stick like they do but it's a great effort from Kyrie nonetheless as alot of White/Holiday defense comes from Boston's scheme. They are talented but not to the level that ppl are comparing them to Gary Payton.
After watching these games it’s apparent Dallas needs one more tough guy with offensive skills. May I propose We trade with Washington not for Kuzma but instead for Jonas Valanciunas. Maybe they do a Kleber and Hardy deal for JV. When Lively is hurt, which is a lot, and Gafford is getting eaten up we need a third center to wipe out other bangers in the league. Some nights Gafford is awful and we need a third option not named Kleber or Powell.
@ YEP!!!!!!!!! Tonight in a game we lost by 11 Gafford was MINUS TWENTY SEVEN in just 12 minutes. In other words we were PLUS SIXTEEN when he was off the court. Kleber was -15 so he’s not the answer either. Love Lively and he’s a plus every night but Sengun ATE GAFFORD UP!
Maxi needs to figure out how to be effective on offense, because he is a black hole right now. He scored 0 points in the last few games while playing 30 minutes in both.
Not just zero points. He did NOTHING to generate offense for others or even set them up with his own movements to initiate. Even Draymond with his bad jumpshot can do more than Kleber on offense.
@Pjdmffl Kyrie and Grimes put on a heater in spot up shooting. That means nothing as we see on film he didn't generate offense for anyone. Just standstill and pass right back out. It's ridiculous. Pump fake, shoot, attack the basket, feint with a post up or something! It's 4v5 every time that he is out there.
Luka's left leg always gets hurt because of his one legged fadeaway off his left leg which he uses a lot to score his field goals He needs to hit the gym and lose 10-15 pounds while being more serious about conditioning his body, especially his legs His play style which revolves around sudden deceleration also puts a lot of stress on the legs so unless he takes proper care he'll keep getting injured 😢
We dont need scoring and maxi is for hard defense not for scoring. We are good we dont need to trade anybody escpecially such a good defender as Maxi Kleber. We need team chemistry now.
Poeltl for Kleber Powell OMax Hardy Who says no Nick? I love it for both teams. Granted that means every game either Lively, Gafford or Poeltl isn’t playing but we will play some aggressive entire teams down the stretch and in the playoffs and we need more skill than Kleber and Powell in the post and Poeltl is such a versatile productive player…..but he’s 30 in October and by the time Toronto is good again he won’t match the timeline of the other starters. Hardy and OMax will.
Maxi is a max player in these nationwide basketball affiliation. And Q Grimes is such a smart baller with the ball in his hands. They're the future; they got next 💯
@@DawudCopherfield-h2bMaxi is not our future anymore. Defensively he’s good but offensively he’s horrible. Not to mention but at times he can’t stay healthy. Mavs need to upgrade frontcourt depth and the best bet may be to move on from Maxi for someone better
Dallas once again has a seson with games when the whole starting lineup in on the injury report and doesn't play and once again will get no credit to finnish top 5 in conference dispute that and once again everyone will be shocked when they start winning everything once they all get healthy
Right i need to put this out there , the mavs made a huge mistake letting go of derrick jones jr, they need him back or someone that can do what he brought to the team, vote for derrick
They made no such mistake as DJJ can't generate his own offense which puts alot on Luka/Kyrie. DJJ wanted his money and starting spot and he got it. Not blaming him for it but the Mavs made their own business moves.
Honestly nothing, I don't think this team is even a contender in the west anymore. Grizz and Rockets have been up there all season long so far, OKC has been by FAR the best team in the west. The team needs a major rehaul off the bench, trading Maxi and/or Omax should be a priority for Larry Jr or a decent 4, but it's more than that. I really don't think Spencer is gonna cut it when you need him, he's way too bipolar and inconsistent to be a back up pg on a "Championship team" Klay and Grimes have been okay, had good stretches but that's pretty much it. Lively is either injured or just straight in foul trouble every game, Gafford has been underwhelming this year! only Naji and PJ have been somewhat consistent, but you need more guys to step up and I don't think this team has that right now. We're in January lingering around 4-8 with Denver and LA catching up, it also doesn't help that Luka is out for literally a month LOL. I know this would sound crazy but tanking this year for a chance at Cooper may be the best bet, it's a long shot but this team unless Nico would provide one of those magical trade deadlines like last year is not even gonna get to the 2nd round and would be lucky to advance further more honestly. The team just can't stay healthy, if the team is around play in by February we should call it quits and tank for Flagg LOL
Yeah, he really doesn’t hold the ball too much, he lets everybody hold the ball and make plays for themselves. Also, when he playmakes, his teammates sometimes just couldn’t shoot.
It's more so he plays SG within the scheme when Luka is out there. More off-ball movement and then he takes back the point guard spot but flips flop on/off ball when passing in between teammates. Ball movement does mean low assist numbers for guys but let's not kid ourselves. Luka's passing ability is elite. The problem is he is a gifted scorer and tries to do it all out there. Seeing how long he had to play next to Kleber and Powell as Starters I can understand why.
@dan31red maybe that is why the mavs have a high turnover ratio then your logic makes no sense about team ball when lukas usage is the lowest it has ever been and no joker plays team ball and has a bunch of a assist you dont need to dominate the ball to get assist just say he isnt a great playmaker and go 🙄
Simple, Luka has to watch his diet, loose 10 kg and be more professional. Or else, face the rest of his carier riddled by injuries... And I say this as his fan and fellow slovenian
😂😂imagine telling PRO NBA PLAYERS what they should work on😂idc how ass they are compared to others in their profession(I get the content idea tho not being negative)
First of all time the Maverick's need to stop losing and Luka Doncic is not the best player right now it's Kyrie Irving aka Uncle Drew Kyrie needs help
Told you the NBA and the refs are corrupt and trash and that is why this league is more like G-League than anything with all the favoritism towards certain players and teams! Funny hao 2 Houston Rockets players get in a fight and only 1 suspended while the same exact thing in a Dallas game and 2 Mavs are suspended! Complete BS and Corruption at it's best and they wonder why ratings are down! 🤣 🤣This league and refs are all corrupt and full of shit! So much hatred to the Mavs and its players like Luka and Kyrie wo can never get a call when getting fouled while shooting! I will NEVER spend a cent on anything related to the NBA! I WILL NEVER go to a game live to see this TRASH! Even with free tickets!
Name a Maverick and a New Year's Resolution for them
Luka Doncic keto diet, eliminate booze, processed sugar, and hookah. A former Mav franchise player did that after the 2006 finals loss. Can Doncic set aside his ego and become dedicated to team & helping his body out?
Jason Kidd, please fall out of love with over 30, overrated, overpaid, washed up never was like
@@DawudCopherfield-h2b your arguement makes no sense luka has been playing since 16 but by your logic its his conditioning although this is the only season luka misses a stretch of games you dudes are dumb af
@@DawudCopherfield-h2b. So you know his current diet and habits? Love when people assume they know things they don’t.
@@DawudCopherfield-h2b I'd rather him go on a carnivore diet. I've done both keto and carnivore and both will result in a lot of weight loss, but carnivore will maintain more muscle mass.
Getting everyone healthy should be the biggest resolution! Happy New Year MFFL's!!
Obviously a big one
What do you think about Klay having the highest plus minus all season out of any Mavs? Passes the eye test I think throwing some more GSW actions into the playbook for this stretch that Luka is out will be good for the team
He plays with Luka almost exclusively but he does have a big impact on the offense overall too. Just a really good team player.

If we're trying to beat boston, the defense needs to be top 8 or better
Kyrie's playing elite defense, and no one talks about it. His defense is on par with players like White and Jrue.
I’ve noticed !
there's a trend with the elite guards never getting credit for their defense, especially this dallas duo
I agree with the first part but the second part is crazy
He's taking defense responsibility, but he's not playing elite defense.
To clarify yes he is causing alot of Deflections to the number of those guards but he doesn't stick like they do but it's a great effort from Kyrie nonetheless as alot of White/Holiday defense comes from Boston's scheme. They are talented but not to the level that ppl are comparing them to Gary Payton.
That step back going left
Happy New Year to you all Racoons!
Lukas leg problems started in the semi finals of the euro championship which they won later...
Gafford needs to stop fishing for over the back fouls
💯

It is indeed a bit.
welcome to the channel
Yup, was quite confusing at first since I didnt know who Isaac was at the time😂😂
I believe Kidd is not trying to wear the stars down. The playoffs will be different.
That's 100% what they're doing
Get healthy is what they need to do
Poeltl for
Kleber
Powell
OMax
Hardy

@@justap7164 sorry buddy kai is getting shipped and we're extending kleber
Wouldnt want Kyrie to scorer it more since with Luka is out. Hes gonna have to take the Luka role if we want to survive the month.
If we could just stay healthy man
Did I miss something. Was there no mention of Kidd?
Come on. There are to many topics to list.
I just did players on this episode
Maves should trade Grimes and Marshall plus 2nd rd pick for Herb Jones and Daniel Theis
Do you think we could get Jalen Duren from Detroit for a 1, Maxi, and a 2 if necessary? I think Gaf and he would play well together, what about you?
He's not a good defender
