  1. Smuckers77

    Luka right now is one of the best basketball players ever idc what anyone says

  2. StefonDiggsHS

    Jason Kidd did everything possible to lose this game but Luka carried as usual

  3. Cambocant

    Goddamn that boy can play basketball đŸ«Ą

  4. LeGoat333

    THE MAGIC MUSTACHE MAN CANT BE STOPPED

  5. EducatemeUBC

    I want to pick up lively for my fantasy team. Why did he only play 17 mins?

  6. pancakesontheweekend

    So nice to see this new Mavs team that can erase 4th quarter deficits and win close games down the stretch.

    Also Luka is clearly the MVP.

  7. 468fanta

    I’m just straight up having a great time right now

  8. PagieHD

    Despite THJ best efforts, Luka won the game for us

  9. DetectiveLucky7266

    I am starting to truly believe that Luka Magic is a real phenomenon

  10. SennKazuki

    We had to have Luka go supernova to beat the fucking Nets.

    Don’t get it screwed up, JKidd is the worst Mavs coach of all time for not giving Lively a minute in the second half.

  11. DaTingGoesSkrrrrrt

    Luka was ridiculous but huge props to Dwight who played great off the bench

  12. hoowuurd

    I’m not a Mavs fan but good God Luka has to be one of the most entertaining basketball players on the planet. Hope the best for y’all rest of season

  13. Felipernani

    we would straight up have lost these two first games last year. that gives me more hope than anything else

  14. RubMyGooshSilly

    Whatever the opposite of a silver lining is that Kidd will think he made the right decisions since we won

  15. We_hitt_a_boat

    Luka is the best player on the planet. Any other answer is wrong and you’re hating.

    At the same time we just shouldn’t have won this game. Brooklyn couldn’t miss from 3 and Kidd tried to lose it for us. Changes need to be made.

  16. kdiddy1989

    2-0!!!

    Watching Luka with Dennis, Doe Doe and Spence hit me in the feels. Especially the postgame chatter with Dennis.

  17. EmuZealousideal7864

    Luka Doncic is not only Devin Booker’s father, he is also Jason Kidd’s father, saving his job with this performance after Kidd’s bizarre rotation choices.

  18. Dramatic_Quote_4267

    Still can’t believe Luka and Dwight Powell combined went 5/5 from the three in the fourth quarter

  19. CrazyPlayA1

    Lively benched entire 4th quarter fuck Jkidd

  20. CheetahSperm18

    That hug between Luka & Doe Doe there at the end. He really misses him man

  21. PagieHD

    “That’s my guy, I just know we’re gonna play again together soon”

    Luke on DFS. My heart

  22. Cambocant

    Kinda touching how much DFS and Luka clearly love each other.

  23. Red_Hot_Chile_Miners

    Luka confirmed DFS is coming back one day 👀

  24. TZBlueIce

    Yeah okay Luka. Btw, as legendary as that offensive performance was, it feels even more fulfilling because he was *on it* at the other end as well. 2 for 2 with regards to defensive effort from him so far this year.

  25. ohm_thetimekeeper

    If the Mavs are close down the stretch games will always be winnable. But definitely don’t wanna be in that situation all the time
 Luka looking like the best player in the league as of rn too

  26. HispanicAtTehDisco

    are we clutch now what the hell is going on

  27. Slashers23

    I hope somebody asks Kidd why he refused to use Lively much in the second half

  28. LogicisGone

    Man if Kyrie finds his stroke, Luka stays super Saiyan, and Kidd doesn’t play dumbass lineups, this team could be legit.

  29. aronnov

    Fell like Luka stole that one for us. hard to win when the other team makes 20+ threes on 50% shooting.

  30. Jasonator01

    Luka saved that game, it’s so exciting to see him just go off and not miss any 3’s

  31. musash10

    Jason Kidd is such an awful coach. Hardaway gave up that 3 looking away from Royce o neale and he’s on the floor the whole rest of the game. If one of the guys Kidd hates did that, they’d get benched for five games. Lively got benched for god knows what reason and then maxi and Powell showed off their dogshit defense the rest of the game. Now that we have a real rim protector in Lively, it’s so noticeable how much better our defense is with him. Guys don’t have to be as aggressive in passing lanes or if a guy gets a step because there’s help at the rim. That makes a huge difference throughout the lineup, but we have dogshit Kidd hurting his own team lol.

  32. nutsygenius

    The last two games show that we legit need a lengthy 3 and D wing lol Sadly, OMax is not there yet
