Mavs and Cuban are the worst Organization in Nba and Kidd is not a good coach it is not Kyrie or Luka foult.
5-13 since feb 11 not something to celebrate 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Luka is OVERRATED TRASH ! Dude plays ZERO DEFENSE!!!
I’m convinced people don’t watch games, he was the best defender on the court as well.
I feel like luka should play lebrons position
He is going off… Like the Mavericks out of the play in spots
Both PGs can not play together in the same game so the coach and Cuban need to do something right away so KI needs to come of the bench when luka needs to rest because is not working anymore …
Son had 40 & STILL lost to the Hornets… TWICE, if they get in the playoffs they might not even get out the first round
What's wit the head? Luka gets 40 it's like nobody in the entire NBA never got 40, people get 50, 60 even 70 & it's "he overrated & will never win a ring" like what they said to Dame, people be biased as fuck
The Mavs are awful. Lost to one of the worst teams in the league missing their two best players twice in a week.
Give Luka a competitive team and we will have one of the most fun team to watch.
sad luka 40ball
40 pts and a huge L.
He needs a better team,NBA basketball is a team sport.Cant win alone
I think this season should be the last for luka as a mavs player
Wow, what a game! Luka Doncic was on fire with his 40 points and 7 3-pointers, and his performance was truly impressive. Despite his efforts, the Charlotte Hornets managed to pull out the win, thanks in part to Gordon Hayward's 22 points and P.J. Washington's incredible 21 points and 12 rebounds.
It's great to see such a strong team effort from the Hornets. Both teams gave it their all, and it was an exciting game from start to finish. Congratulations to the Hornets on their hard-earned victory, and kudos to Luka Doncic for his outstanding performance. #NBA #Hornets #Mavericks….IT A TEAM GAME
40 minutes of crying to the refs in another loss
Luka needs to leave Dallas. If he is unhappy he should maybe go back to Madrid. I will follow him wherever he goes. Mirotic did that as well, it's important to be where you feel at home. I'll happily switch to euro basket if he decides to go.
a lot of stuff and staff will rebuild at the mavs next season.
Dallas simply done😂😂
They got no defence & mostly everyone predicated this was gonna happen as soon as they signed Kyrie. Luka needs to learn how to play alongside another super star same thing happened with KP and now with Kyrie. Dallas the biggest disappointment this season. Losing to hornets 🐝 just embarrassing.
Honestly i think Luka would be pissed to see this. yes he scored well but he was also -11 per. and this was a back to back loss to the hornets. luka is a true competitor and i think highlighting this when the mavs team moral is so low is a cheeky and weird way to go about this. Yes he deserves praise but i know he probably would not like to be reminded of these losses as he cares more about winning games that praising stats.
I hope he gets out and plays with Pop and Wembanyama on the Spurs. that would be dope
Great player, but if you take 7+ more shots that all the other starters combined, you better have good shot percentage, which he didn't have. Most likely, you will lose those games
Luka need Butler /PG13 / Kawhi /Thompson type of player to fit his style . And they need a rebounder . This team is so soft defensive /red bound it embarrassing to watch.
They still lost
They just need to surround him with better role players! Not guys who can only shoot 3's! And a good bigman ofc!
luka needs to go, your talent should not be wasted like that😢 he's 24 now🤡
If I didn't have the prior knowledge that DALLAS LOST 110 – 104 I would have been led to believe that Dallas won with Luka shooting some astronomical percentage near 100%. He shot just 41% on 29 shots in a losing effort. Go figure.
The Mavericks front office decided to tank in January, long before Kyrie, and while Luka was the scoring leader and an MVP candidate. Kidd’s horrible lineups were intended to make the team lose. Cuban is letting Luka and Kyrie take all the blame for his horrible management decision. Luka can’t afford to spend one more year on Jerry Jones Jr.’s team. There’s no way a team with Luka and Kyrie can fall so drastically unless it’s intentional.
And a L and trash shooting, 29 shots to make 40 is a joke
Empty stats
Trae Young got killed after leading the Hawks to the conference final in 2021 before Luka having a taste of a conference final. When it comes to Luka its: "get him some help" who does Trae have? Looool
If they had a center, they wouldnt play him 😄
He wasn't playing well in 1QT and then it was like a light switch, he took over the game. the sole reason Mavs were not getting blown out was him. It's a generational fck up that Mavs doing to Luka, he deserves a better supporting cast.
They need to fire the GM of the Mavericks.
Eurolegue 100 times better than Nba…
Yesterday i watch this Nba club competition game and just overall experience was terrible and racist for me…
Terrible black music intro and terrible referees and tv reports… In not saying all black music suck but how about some Kiss or Rolling Stones??? How about Michael Jackson?
Great individual player but I wouldn't like to be on his team. Other players just stand around watching him dribble and take long threes … Just holds the ball for way to long in my opinion …
Tyrese Maxey went OFF! Luca just took a lot of shots like always… Maxey: 14/19 (7/11) Luca: 12/29 (7/16)
😢😢There are certainly more than 20 reasons why the Mavs are so terrible, before you would even start to think about Luka's faults. I really don't know why in every comment on social media Luka's faults are being brought up, when even if he was almost perfect like Michael Jordan, this wouldn't lead to more wins for the team, because this is the worst team in the Nba without Luka (for the last 5 years), and a team with the worst coach for the past 2 years.
I really hope he leaves this franchise at the end of the next season. The fans don't deserve him at all. They all act like they are some important and relevant franchise like Boston or the Lakers, for which everybody in the Nba can't wait to play for, and that Luka should be thankfull and gratefull for the opportunity to play for this franchise, when in reality it is the other way around. In fact they are the ones who should be thankfull and gratefull that such a generational talent like Luka is playing for such a terrible, incompetent and irrelevant franchise and organisation. But don't worry, Luka will leave this franchise in a year or two, and then the media and fans can talk every single day for eternity about all of Luka's shortcomings and human imperfections.
And honestly, i am almost certain, that all his depression from the past few weeks comes from the fact that since the Kyrie trade, everybody started turning on him (media, announcers, fans, coach and even some teammates). And i don't blame Kyrie himself for this situation at all (i think he is a wonderfull person).
In my opinion, this is the real reason why he is depressed all of a sudden (alongside with the poor performances of the team and the losses). And every normal human person with a heart would eventually become really sad and extremelly hurt and emotionally defeated, if everybody all of a sudden would suddenly start turning on him and even insulting him and also fat-shamming him non-stop, eventhough he has been carrying this poor irrelevant franchise on his back for the last 5 years (and without him they would be totally weak and irrelevant as a franchise). And then this is how they pay him back and how they show him their gratittude. Just awfull.
This is the reason, why he said in that previous press conference, that he has lost his joy on the court. He mentioned in his statement, that this happened because of the basketball reasons (losing) and because of the OTHER THINGS (off the court problems – meaning the behaviour of the fans and the media towards him).
I think, he is just afraid to say it out loud infront of everybody, all about what he is going through in relation to this side of his personal life, because he is ashamed of that and because he is very dissapointed at this situation, and also because he doesn't want to make himself even more vulnerable by revealing his real thoughts and feelings about the cruel and disloyal behaviour of the media and fans towards him.😢😢
