Justin Holiday is gonna be our Peja Stojakovic????
Defense was ass, especially by Christian wood he looked lost all night. Buuut glad we got the blowout win. Kai & Luka looked good together. Big game Sunday Vs lakers
Holiday who knew?
Well this was worth the wait, but now I need more already
Basically bad defensive second quarter allowing 37 pts, and below average third quarter offensively.
Holiday was solid. Nice get.
Good quality win. Took care of a worse opponent and our main guys got to sit the second half of the 4th
And people really said this was another Rondo 2.0 trade lmaooo
Yea just a casual 142 no big deal
I know it’s only the Spurs, but Justin Holiday looked like Dorian-lite out there. Knocked down jumpers, was active, defended well out on the wing, etc… Definitely feels less of a downgrade than the upgrade from Spence to Kyrie.
The closer KYRIE IRVING the state of Texas is indeed flat
Part of me feels sad that the Spurs are so bad. I respect them as an organization. The rockets on the other hand can keep sucking all they want
I know it’s the Spurs and a game we should win on paper but we’ve dropped multiple games like that this year. To win like this with Luka & Kyrie at 30 mins and Luka not having to play in the 4th q is a nice feeling.
How is the HOLIDAY signing going to affect Lukas Legacy
They just kept scoring
You know what we haven’t had to watch much of lately? Luka getting doubled and passing out just for the other four to swing swing swing it until the defense recovers and all advantage was lost. Defense is ehh but I prefer this so much more. Even 4 on 3, Doe Reggie Maxi Dwight just wasn’t enough firepower. Still, thanks for the memories Doe.
Box score is beautiful tonight. 8 guys in double figures and 3 guys with 20+ points.
Luka x Kyrie win. Love to see it
140 points.
8 in double digits scoring.
3 over 20 points.
Nice.
First win in the new era and we got a Holiday!!!
It would be so nice, if we took a Holiday 🎶
Luka and Kyrie each played 30 minutes. Luka was +8, and Kyrie was +34. WHAT THAT TELLS ME is that they were almost entirely staggered, and that’s how we win! No other team in the west has two top 10 offensive players on their team, and we can play one all 48 minutes in a game.
Holiday looks so happy. Love it
Justin Holiday, this dude can shoot.
Great to see Holiday get the post game interview. He showed that maybe Atlanta made a mistake.
Pinson tossing it to Wood to run out the clock. 😅
This team needed this. Still don’t love them giving up 116 to the Spurs but they still showed good effort out there when things weren’t completely lost. The Spurs actually play at a decent pace, I hope we can start getting back on transition D quicker.
That was so much fun. I’ll never get tired of the Mavs beating the Spurs
That was a breather of a game for the Mavericks tonight! Nothing but good things happening! Eight players in double figures, including the entire starting lineup! Now enjoy day of relaxing and rewinding before the primetime showdown against the Lakers Saturday night! #MFFL
kyrie in the 4th needs to be studied.
Even if Justin Holiday shoots just 35% from 3, he would be a much better fit for this team than T – Ross. Incredible performance on both ends of the court from him.
I’d like to think this is the new normal.
Must have stayed at a Holiday Inn last night
1-0 after the AS break.
Hope Maxi is ready to play 36-40 min a game in the playoffs. Dwight is limited/small and Wood is absolutely unplayable if he keeps looking this bad. Wood made so many stupid plays; and wtf is up with his screens? He never even makes contact.
Holiday is an excellent low risk pick up by Nico. Wing defender who can shoot, and takes Pinson’s minutes.
Also with 20 odd games left in the season I hope people finally realize why Christian Wood is a journeyman in the league and tops out as a solid bench scorer.
Waive markieff, sign stanley johnson, get maxi back, and hope we have atleast mid defense with top 5 offense
That’s good enough to do damage in PO
Kyrie is so efficient
146 points lmao
Didn’t watch the game but with the lopsided score how come Hardy only had 4 minutes?
Great first nba game to go too, mavs were hot 🔥
Unfortunately wood should’ve taken that supposed 2 year offer. At least he hasn’t blown up rockets style yet.
Kyrie irving is a fucking joy to watch. I hope he stays forever
Sweeping the Spurs is always amazing
no Poetl also means our bigs wouldn’t get bullied
Ah, the standard Luka special. Clank the 3s and hit the free throws. Or the other way around. Can’t have both. xD
