I think Boban was an absolutely perfect pickup for this team.  Dude is funny as shit, but he gets it done too.  He is one of the most efficient players in the league for his time on the floor, and he’s mature enough that he can help keep these two young euros on a narrow path.

So to get this right, you are saying he is the basketball equivalent of “machinator”

Take that all day long. 
 

He’s the love child of Neo and Robocop.  NTTAWWT.

More Luka talk on the Woj Pod

I was listening to the Simmons Stein podcast. I agree with Stein when he says this year needs to be about figuring how to get KP and Luka working seamlessly. Right now that's not the case. Get that dynamic sorted and then look to add the 3rd piece. I also like the comment about this Mavs team being built around Luka and his generational talents similar how to the Ravens have gone all in on building a team around Lamar Jackson.

GOAT in the building.

Sweet Jesus this is quality basketball.

Decent half. Luka with only a 14-7-4. Needs to get out of this slump.

[Jive Turkey 12562]

This is what I like to see. Destroying shit teams like the shit teams they are. 

Those Knicks games were an aberration. 

[CBT 1281]

Solid 3rd

Gonna hurt Luka’s stats though. Seriously, good to have everyone well rested going into the next 2 games.  Should be a good measuring stick for us. 

[Pato del Muerto 52321]

Luka is gonna have a tough time averaging a triple double if he rarely plays in the 4th quarter. 

[crum 521]

oh so thats why jj hasnt been playing

Two 42+ wins in a row lol. Things sure have changed quickly.

[Firemans4Horn 17792]

3 fast facts:

 

1. The Mavs have won by a combined 90 points in their last 2 games. 

2. The Mavs scored their 4th and 5th highest single game (regulation) point totals in franchise history the last 2 games. 

3. Luka hasn’t played in the 4th quarter of either game.

I am really surprised by #2. Is it just as simple as Luka is the straw that stirs the drink? They are getting good production up and down the roster.

I don’t pretend to be an NBA expert but I think it is a few factors:

 

Pace/scoring is way up the last couple of years. So far in 2019 the Rockets have the 2nd most efficient offense in NBA history the Mavs are 4th best ever and the NETS!!!! are 5th. 

Also, both opponents suck ass. The warriors only had 8 healthy players and 4 of them were more g-league quality than NBA.

So, a typical Sunday at Town East Mall?

[CBT 1281]

I’m assuming another 40 point win today.

[threesheets 1651]

Holy fuck what a bitch move by Harden on Powell.

[Dr Fear 1265]

Most first half points in Mavs history.

[Message Board User 12389]

Bitch-slapping the mentally soft Rockets at their place. 

Nicely done.

[Kevin O’Shea 279]

Have fun driving back to Cypress after Luka spent the last 3 hours dragging his nuts on your face, Rockets fans. 

[Drew 2331]

Fuck the rockets. The score will not be indicative of how much of an ass whopping this is.

[Bruh Man 3160]

I've seen enough. He's the best player in the league. Fight me. 

[Get ln My Van 927]

35 and 10 is now Lukas standard 

[Vic Mackey 46919]

Fuck you Houston lmao. Losers

[gsoda3 3234]

why was that forearm shiver westbrook put on luka halfway thru the 4th not called a flagrant?

yep.  he was really active and throwing down dunks left and right.  and popping a few 3s.

[fellside 1076]

Glad Carlisle adjusted to bringing Luka in a little earlier in the 4th now.

I've never liked Hardaway but he's looking good as a starter. Gotta give him props.  

[Get ln My Van 927]

THJ has definitely stepped up

Porzingis is rounding into form as well. +32 tonight with a 23pts/13reb/3ast line and some fantastic defense.
