2018 - 2019 Dallas Mavericks: Throw Some D's

Kid is pretty good.  Bad game (he’s a rookie, it happens) and he makes up for it with a 2 minute flurry of ridiculousness to beat those cocksuckers.  He seems to have IT in spades.  Fun times.

Loved it. Dude didn’t look good at all. Then turned it on late. Dude is clutch as hell.

 

Oh and this happened.

Cubes must be in his ear. Only 19 years old and already owning a team.

I don't know how real clutch stats are, but part of the reason I wanted Luka this time a year ago was that it seemed like every week he had a new highlight where he made a ridiculous crunch time play for Real Madrid.  And he looked like he expected to make every shot.

The fact that he's already getting those results against better competition... it's pretty shocking even for a Luka homer.

Just listening to LockedonMavs and I think* they said Luka is leading the NBA in clutch time 3pt shooting.  63%

These are the games that really define a team. Most teams will get up for and play well against the marquee teams. But how does your team fare against teams they are supposed to beat. Not looking that great but still dominating. Great sign from a young team.

I’m gonna be a little critical here, but Luka and DJ need to spend some time in practice and figure out when Luka should throw the lob pass and when he shouldn’t throw it.  I would bet that those two have the lowest rate of alley oop conversions in the league this year.  I don’t know if Luka is trying it when he shouldn’t, or if DJ isn’t expecting the pass, but there is an abnormal amount of these passes that are unsuccessful,  and they are borderline turnovers.  And I am absolutely thrilled with what both guys bring to the team, they just need to figure it out.

It seems pretty high percentage to me. I'm sure if you looked at the numbers, that would prove to be the case. Sure they are going to miss a few, but likely will get better as the season goes along.

This isn't why they need more time together but they do need more time together. Can't wait to see how we fuck teams up after the all Star break

So fun to watch love Doncic. Dude is a perfect fit here to take over after Dirk.

What a lot of the league and non mavs fans don’t know is that Dirk has a legendary sense of humor, especially the self deprecating kind. Luka seems like he gives no fucks and just acts like a kid at times. Love it.

Luka was ok tonight.  24-10-5 and it didn’t feel like he played great.  If that’s his mediocre game, I’ll take it.  I like that he is figuring out how to get to the stripe.  Barnes may be the most underrated, overpaid player in the league, if such a thing is possible.

What a weirdly horrible shooting night. It's tough to win the second night of a B2B, but they really needed to win that one, schedule gets super tough very soon.
