Dubs looking good. Luka looking extra slow tonight.

KhalDrogo · 05-26-2022, 09:01 PM

Good run. Just outmatched this series. Going to have to figure out the interior defense next year.

kordell1 · 05-26-2022, 09:01 PM

I have counted 11 times Luka has been fouled with no call. Laughable at this point.

RogerGodahell · 05-26-2022, 09:03 PM

Not gonna happen tonight. Oh well good season. They made it further than i expected.

Really frustrating. He's being more aggressive than anyone on the Warriors but not getting any of the same calls.

More aggressive ROFL he's slow as molasses. Doesn't even get back on defense. He's ridiculously out of shape mentally weak is what I'm seeing.

tjforce · 05-26-2022, 09:08 PM

It's not about fouls tonight...I think he's just gassed.

It's why you rarely see a one star team go to the Finals. Just the physical toll of being such a high usage player for so long is grueling.

Imagine if they did get through this game, and then 2 more, and then had to grind out vs Boston. That's a whole lot to ask from a guy.

Dnic · 05-26-2022, 09:25 PM

Well went farther then I thought they would, shots aren't falling and the refs aren't calling the fouls both ways maybe one day we will have AI refs cause these refs nowadays really suck.

Dude is gassed. Play with Curry running right by him shows me there's not much left in the tank.

It is what it is. Awesome post-season run but it's tough to be Mr Everything every night and that's why not many guys do it.

No doubt..it was an outstanding season that I hope they can build on next year

Dnic · 05-26-2022, 09:36 PM

Really hope they don't over pay for Brunson he is way too small

tadams1996 · 05-26-2022, 09:38 PM

Great season. Getting out of the first round was an accomplishment in itself. The future is bright!

Prepare for either the storyline of:
-"Mavs added the right pieces and are now expected to win it all"

or

-"Mavs can't put the right pieces around Luka, how long until he demands a trade!"

The media sensationalizes everything.

His dad has been pretty quiet since the Utah series. I agree, I like him but he's not worth the money he's going to ask for.

Onepocketj · 05-26-2022, 09:46 PM

Don't give up yet!

Onepocketj · 05-26-2022, 10:16 PM

Well it was a better season than I expected. Let's see what the offseason brings. And please no one quote Pete. Thank you

pete2345 · 05-26-2022, 10:20 PM

Better luck next year Lulu fans.

eastbayak · 05-26-2022, 10:23 PM

Luka is an absolute beast.

tjforce · 05-26-2022, 10:24 PM

Great season Luka fans!

Made it to the conference finals.

If Luka decides to come into next season in shape, he's got to be frontrunner for MVP.

TSonn · 05-26-2022, 10:26 PM

I wanted Dallas to get the #3 seed so they'd get Denver then GS then Phoenix. Turns out they made it further as the #4 and took down the #1 seed in the NBA.

Made a nice run in the 3rd - Warriors too locked in tonight to come back.

Biggest LOL of the night was when Reggie Miller needed to add a clause ("if he pushed the pace") when asked if he would want to play with Luka. Luka just led his team to the WCF at age 24 and Reggie didn't make it past the first round until 28.

Miller greatly overestimates how good he actually was

Harlan set it up as an obvious time to talk about how great Luka is at getting his teammates open looks and Reggie went full big ego on him. Hope JJ Reddick takes his spot soon - much better insight into today's game.

TSonn · 05-26-2022, 10:33 PM

Time to send those $999 DV Luka cards into PSA everyone! Offseason dip will prevent many upcharges.

Pete can come in here and crap all over Luka all he wants..it takes away nothing from what the Mavs accomplished this season. One troll's opinion on a basketball card message board has zero effect on anything.
