2019 - 2020 Dallas Mavericks: Eastern Bloc > Western Conference

[fellside 1073]

Pretty close to a 60 win pace.  Incredible this early in what we thought would be a building year 

[Vic Mackey 46856]

Another good sign. Shitty team coming into your house. Kick their ass. And they did. Our teams of the past would fuck around and make it close or just flat out lose.

[CBT 1281]

I can’t wait for the 30 for 30 on how the 2019-20 NBA champs won 60 games yet lost twice to the Knicks.

“What if I told you...”

[conVINCEd 21468]

I was flipping back and forth between stuff this afternoon, but I swear I wasn’t away from the Mav game for more than 5 minutes and our lead went from 8 to 25 in that time span.

Totally agree. Great teams do not play down to lesser competition.

Something to strive for. Luka will give Oscar a run for his money merger be damned.

Me:  where are the mavs?  I can’t find them on the graph. Oooooooh.  

[CBT 1281]

Luka-DP PnRs averaging 1.3 PPP.

[Pato del Muerto 52233]

Damn, another back to back?  4th game in 6 days. At least this one is a home stand I guess. 

[crum 520]

horrible first half sheesh. Rick putting Luka in just to run the offense through barea was a horrible choice

[CBT 1281]

5th game in 8 days. Scheduled loss. No legs on D or jumpers.

[Pato del Muerto 52233]

Trying to give themselves a chance...

[CBT 1281]

Wow what a comeback. Going zone was a great move to get them back in the game.

[crum 520]

tough way to lsoe but probably didnt deserve to win

[CBT 1281]

Dallas should file official grievance to replay final 20 seconds because of missed foul.

[Zepol87 9155]

Comeback was dope, but in the bonus and jacking up 3’s?? Fuck, take it inside

Mavs so good, NBA story of the year easily.  Dudes, these guys, a team still developing, will dominate the West very soon.  If they add just 1 more very good player, they'll be unbeatable. Does the $ work on that?  Free agency in 8 months and Dallas might be the favs in 20-21.  I

Was the quality of picture for anyone else shit? My eyes are fucking killing me after watching that (and this isn't some attempt to be cute talking about the jerseys or the Mavs' play in the 1st half)

That’s not even as bad as the one that Luka got T’d up over.  That one was a true hack. 
but this one was out in the open with 6 seconds left in a 2 pt game. 
shoulda gone for the win anyway. Lots of basketball this week, no reason to add 5 more minutes.

unfortunately for Luka he plays for the only owner the refs actually hate.  bad news, he's going to get dirk'd by NBA refs.  good news, he's such a stud he will likely overcome it.  I hope Cuban just works it behind the scenes this time.

Do the refs and league still hate Cuban? I feel he has toned it way down since his early days. Maybe it hasn't been as prevalent since we have been irrelevant since winning it all. I know the whole sexual harassment was a big black eye but that was a behind the scenes ordeal and not to do with the refs.

Also, Luka came out publicly and said he needs to tone it down with the refs. Very humble and self aware.

i absolutely hate how luka throws his hands up or does the harden headshot every other time down the floor.  

[RexWilson 1341]

I am in the tone it down camp and glad he is aware. He's not Duncan  bad but the constant throwing the hands up over every call/noncall is a bit much

Story of the year is Carlisle working his magic on THjr and making him look like he's worth his salary.

Same. Even us Mavs fans hate it. Complaining to the refs is the biggest beating in any sport in general. I don't want him to try and rely on getting calls like Harden does. He is too talented for that. Definitely vocalize to the refs about certain calls but never every single time down. It is a beating. But he is young. He will learn.

Just make sure Zavala sits this one out.

Yeah not surprising.  Scheduled Loss is right.  Still made a game of it though at the end...but you could tell they were worn down.  The Kings got WAY too many 2nd chance points and put back and the Mavs didn't block out at all.

[conVINCEd 21468]

Anybody else going through Luka withdrawal the last few days?

Some Boban pregame

 

[CBT 1281]

he's great.

[Pato del Muerto 52233]

1) I wonder how the elevation will affect the game, if at all

2) luka gets to dust off his Spanish for a couple of days

3) making them play in Mexico City but not putting it on national tv?

[Vic Mackey 46856]

[Bigpoppapump 529]

Mavs v Pistons in Mexico just started. Streaming it.

[irishtexan 11435]

It was looking like Luka might have another huge night and sit the 4th but pistons go on a 15-2 run with luka on the bench for the final 2:30 to close out the third and mavs only up 10. Looks like Luka might actually have to play the 4th?

KP taking it to the basket tonight. Looking more comfortable and explosive. Keep doing that and the shot starts to drop sky is the limit.
