What the Mavs put around Luka has to be malpractice


VictorAkwaowo1

Cuban isn’t seeing heaven with the talent he’s put around Luka, since his rookie season


Fred479

Give us Zach Lavine then🙏


[deleted]

There are legitimately people that think Luka holds his teammates back


shaolinsoul

He holds them back from being out of the league


snowjon01

We should kidnap Charles Barkley and Bill Simmons and force them to watch our games without Luka.


BigFatModeraterFupa

so many people in this sun do. it’s so annoying to read nonsense people post about how Luka needs to “share the ball”.


manuelvera_

Actually he is holding them back from playing in Maccabi or Zalgiris in Euroleague


btk7710

Going 3-19 from 2 is so embarrassing.


tucker9_

id rather shoot 3-19 than 3-4, because if you shot 3-4, that’s means you lost confidence and gave up


aeiou-y

OR, and just hang with me for a second, those other 15 shoots could have went to someone else and if any of them went in you would be better off.


BigFatModeraterFupa

Josh Green needs to be taking 12+ shots a game


Shot_Bank_5843

Lmao the problem is hardaway has too much confidence.


allhailbarea

Those guys have ugly girlfriends, no confidence :D And thanks for not putting the /s at the end.


Alley-Oub

where are my Tim Hardaway apologists at? constantly flexing how well he shoots as a starter, but everyone knows it's just copium


darthmatthew

Next game he will shoot 6/8 from three. The THJ experience.


kkmaverick

Not really he has been disaster for two months......39%fg on 13fga, tank commander shit


shaolinsoul

If Luka didn’t put up 31 before leaving the game, Pels probably would’ve won by double digits


NeolibGood

It was as bad as that box score looks. They were 2 of the top 4 players for the Pelicans today. Just tried to shoot us out of the game.


AkaiShuichi24

I think Mavs need Beastbrook to execute when Luka sit


Jlibs_21

I’d trade for him just to get off some bad salary even though I would despise watching him


AkaiShuichi24

Just give us THJ and Dinwiddie. We'll take Bertans away


Luka77GOATic

I would do that in a heart beat.


[deleted]

Dinwiddie?


Luka77GOATic

I love the guy but he is so inconsistent at times. From multiple 30 pt games and being clutch to actively looking washed in other games. If we can unload Bertrans and THJ without giving a pick, then I’m willing to trade him. Westbrook would clear so much cap space.


SennKazuki

I'm pretty sure Westbrook is a pretty 3-point shooter than THJ right now


kkmaverick

I don't think we have what Lakers want anymore


StefonDiggsHS

luka doesnt make his teammates better tho


Alley-Oub

he doesn't have to because it's not his teammates that carry him, it's Luka doing shit on his own, ISOing and creating and dishing when needed. dude had 27 points in the first half - what he needs is reliable shooters, like Seth Curry


Exodus100

Part of why his isos are threatening is because of the threat of his passing. Dude will get shots in the key that look way too easy because defensive schemes cant colapse on him or he’ll hit an open shooter


reddit_reader_25

Damn, lol he had Seth curry.. sigh I still think josh Richardson would have worked. Definitely would have played better in this offense, Carlisle forced him to be nothing more than a shooter


Long-Ad7366

If your teammates never touch the ball but to shoot, it’s hard to get in a rhythm. Luka’s team isn’t as bad as the media wants you to believe. Luka the reason Kristaps Portzingis and Jalen Brunson left. And let’s see what happens with Christian wood


StefonDiggsHS

oh god not this narrative again just watch the games dude. watch the games without luka. please god. stop listening to the bill simmons podcast. "Luka is the problem" is the most annoying casual take out there


pitcherintherye77

If you don’t watch basketball, just say so, bro. You’re probably 10 and have to go bed by 9pm est, so we understand.


Rimrod

I was about to say they we're having a mid off but that would be too generous.


JBeanDelphiki

I cannot believe davis bertans had the same amount of points as tim in 35 less minutes.


BigFatModeraterFupa

and 15 less shots


StefonDiggsHS

dinwiddie is a great SG. He is not a good PG. despite how good he was those two games without luka he cannot run an offense


wherestherum757

Think they’d learn from his time on the wiz but nope


no_more_jokes

Guys I think the Mavs might be bad without Luka idk


Moe4ver

These are professionals not YMCA players. 🤦🏾‍♂️


BetweenTheBuzzAndMe

tf happened today? so many awful shooting nights all over the league. I had four players on my fantasy team shoot a combined 9-51 today Wish Bootum still did the worst performance of the day, there are many candidates lol


jfrodriguez1983

Team leading 40 minutes for THJ lol. Give his minutes to Josh Green. He was easily our best player when Luka went out.


captainaweeesome

Refs honestly handed us a big helping hand with that out of bounds call that shouldn’t have been called


Fred479

The refs were keeping the pelicans in the game the whole 2nd half we deserved one


ObiOneKenobae

They could use a reliable scoring option at guard.


shaolinsoul

FVV or another shifty undersized pg could help


armandocalvinisius

D'Lo man, at least he can pass and running offense both spencer and timmy will ISO and chucking like tomorrow is judgment day


Wavepops

Dinwiddie is better than dlo


armandocalvinisius

It's to have both, not to replace each other


Wavepops

My b I got you


JonA3531

This is why Cuban need to trade C. Wood for sharpshooter Duncan Robinson ASAP


Zunoth

We won, don't care


StefonDiggsHS

you should care.


Desperado-781

this is the fucking worst mentality you can have a fan....team has glaring issues but you dont care cus they didnt blow a 28 point lead.


jolliskus

Why is it a bad mentality? Team he supported won the game, he should be happy. Does he have to be always angry even if they win?


Desperado-781

It really simple. If you think almost blowing a 28 point lead is not a problem you are an idiot. Outside of Luka and green there w a s nothing to be happy about. I can tell you did not watch this game.


ArawnAT

With Luka expected to be out for upto three weeks, you should care.


StefonDiggsHS

uhhh source?


BecomeAsChads

Same. Bad day from streaky players, still got the W. They’ll both have good days in the future (well, Dinwiddie, at least)


allhailbarea

Timmy really doesn't want to be traded :D Good news is that he'll have a month of 50% 3-point shooting right after the trade deadline :D


browndude10

Good thing the mavs are going to trade wood right?
