    I'm interested in seeing what Dallas does in the playoffs this year. See if the league pushes Luka in the NBA finals. Kyrie been on good behavior in Dallas...

    I think it's tough to get the ball out of Lukas hands lol. You run a trap and you are going to get beat by Mavs hot shooting. Is not that simple to game plan for. However, allowing Jock to be abused for several posessions by Luka was a poor choice.

    Why they never give Luka a hard foul?

    Stop playing like little girl.

    I liked the part where the dude hit the $25K halfcourt shot. So there's that.

    Among all superstars I think Luka is probably the ideal matchup for Dillon--not too quick for DB on his first step, and not too tall to contest. And he's still getting beat, unfortunately.

    Welp Luka himself is already unstoppable, but the help from the refs you literally cannot win

    Not sure if I would trust PJ Washington but the Mavs looks very good as a title contender even lately.
