its funny how people think he just forgot how to play basketball because he looked out of sorts for a couple of games trying to figure out where he fits.

yeah. he wasn't scoring at his usual pace but a lot of it was due to him trying to set up his teammates off the dribble. he was a lot more aggressive tonight.

he was even back to his old self complaining about fouls.  he went 8-8 from the line too.  he'll be shooting 12-15 FT's a game soon(Laker magic) and will probably start shooting at 85% instead of 75%.  

meanwhile kidd/nico etc get to watch street clothes for a month plus.  my guess is Kyrie gets hurt in the next couple of weeks.

And they blew the doors off Denver to end their 9 game win streak.

Welcome to the inevitable. It just gets worse from here. 

the lakers could fuck up building around him after Lebron retires but then again, Cuban isn't their owner.

I'm surprised Kyrie's lasted this long. He's been playing 35+ a lot this season.

I do appreciate the hell out of his effort so far and stepping up to say we are gonna keep the foot on the gas.  he's been superhuman in some of the games but I think it is impossible to keep up.

I wonder if Kyrie has really matured enough to lead these guys and if the rest of the team can gut through being "hurt".  sometimes you gotta play through some pain.

Idk shit about fuck but it seemed like Dallas was his last chance to shape up and he was very willing to let Luka drive and be the co pilot.  Now that you actually need him?

19 ppg as a Laker. It will age the rest of the season. 

Y’all are laughing like I said something unreasonable. I didn’t. And I’m against the trade, or at the very least the lack of return. But Luka isn’t right and I responded specifically to the 30 a night comment - after he scored 14, 16 and 14, and had 5 TOs in one quarter of action in his third Lakers game. You’re quick to jump back after his only good game as a Laker.

We're laughing because you're a fucking idiot. 

Nah, I’d say the guy who commented that Luka’d average 30 a night after starting off averaging fewer than 15, clearly not right, is a fucking idiot. Particularly when combined with it being laughable that Kidd hadn’t been fired.

Also, people who jump in when he has one good game, and fail to recognize words like “a night” are fucking idiots. In other words, you and the constant whiner about officiating are fucking idiots.

Yeah I ain't watching tonight, still too pissed beyond belief. In a sane world the whole thing would be investigated. The lack of return and making sure he ended up with the Lakers is very obviously intentional.

This. I'm too angry to watch this game. I don't want to root against the mavericks, and I'm hoping Luka goes for like 60.

This is where I’m at. I’m certainly not a Laker fan, but somehow it still doesn’t feel like I can be a Mavs fan at the moment either.

I hope Luka embarrasses Nico so badly he isn’t seen for a while. If that fucker can even feel shame

Lakers are doing an AD tribute video pre game.  Meanwhile, Nico's harassing staff who mention Luka's name in their social media accounts

Since moving back to Oklahoma forever ago I’ve fought off every reason and pressure to switch my allegiance to the Thunder. I became a MFFL in 2006 when I lived in Dallas and Dirk led them to the finals. Maintained allegiance when Dirk led them past the Thunder a few more times then Luka took them down last year. I just don’t think I can do it after this bs. When I see the logo all I see anymore is that cunt Adelson. She makes Jerry fucking Jones seem likable by comparison. I just can’t muster a fuck anymore. I might seriously be done. She’s fucking despicable.

Ok. Are you one of these “the league is fixed” guys?

My best friend does not have this issue. He goes back to the early 80’s Mavs. He wants Dallas to get beat by 50 tonight for trading Luka. I think the anger is more than justified for what transpired. I actually remember rooting for Dallas in 2011 in the Finals and being downtown after they won Game 6. That was a crazy night with a whole lot of drinking. It was cool seeing Mavs fans so happy. The fans did not deserve to have any of this happen.

Am I your best friend? because that all describes me to a tee.

Predetermining results? No. Lifelong Laker fan Adelson who clearly wants to tank the franchise and move it to Vegas in a league that is happy to overlook the worst trade of all time to help its marquee franchise? Yes, absolutely. I think Adelson did this intentionally with the League's blessing.

Haha well if you live in Durant now then yes. I am guessing you did not choose living there though.

I had one instance when I had an NFL team I rooted for since I was a kid. I walked completely away from them 12 years ago though. Dallas, to me at least, has a lot of people that I found to be pretty cool. When I lived there it was fun talking about the Mavs. Listening to the radio and hearing TheTicket back in the day discuss the “Little Mavericks” To me it sucks to see a fanbase being intentionally run off. This smells of what happened to Seattle, but they didn’t give Durant away.
