What is Luka doing differently compared to last year?
You guys have great chemistry
Like you said, taking care of business is key.
Huge shoutout and big respect to Raphael Barlowe for being to so high on Dereck Lively in the draft process early on.
Something bout his 3 looks little different like visibly not like the shot form, maybe just has his legs under him lil more after getting his weight down
Let's go, Mavs!
They haven't played anyone yet, also they picked up 2 really good players Lively and Grant. That is why they are 3-0.
They're Giving 9 to 1 odds on Giannis. So if he plays 9 seasons they think he will only win 1 MVP he's winning 5 in that time if he is in his prime which he is now. Giannis is getting the MVP.
Luka cares about defense… That's all we need
Good guest… insightful and funny… more guests like Mark please
Hoping the adjusted Luka minutes trend continues.
Big difference Grant Williams is an upgrade from Bullock. Defense wise yes, surprisingly even offense.
I don't really care if they only beat "bad teams" right now, a win is a win I rather them have wins this early in the season whoever the opponent is than playing catch up on the standing halfway the season
This is the NBA, those "bad teams" may be bad but those are still have some of the best professional hoopers, they still have the chance to win against the top teams
Nick, are you pro Luka? You’re running this crap when you know the MVP is 80% narrative? I just saw a spot on ESPN and they are not even hiding their propaganda push for Curry as MVP for a projected top 3 Golden State beating 3 non-playoffs teams on the road (adding hall of fame PG CP3 coming off the bench). You can hear them trotting out the same “yeah, but” anti-Luka talking points. You do know the media says to take the under on 43 wins for the Mavs? You do know that last year Dallas routinely lost to non-playoff teams?
No more waiting for bullock to improve his 3 pt shooting
Nick, the ESPN segment that I referred to involved asking who had the most impressive start to the season. Zach literally says, for the purposes of this segment, it’s Golden State essentially because of how the pieces fit with another hall of fame point guard to a team that won the championship two years ago. This was taken as a vote for Steph because of his performance in getting three road wins against non-playoff teams.
Mark looks much younger than 52!!!
Commenting every day for a contest for one fan host on a show or in the rotation.
and also playing against bad teams helps, let see when they face real contention
Who cares about baseball c'mon guys do better
Example: WNBA: Brooklyn won the in-season tournament, yet got smoked for the real championship by the team they beat for the “in-season” title. Now, on what planet do Brooklyn women feel any sense of accomplishment of winning a regular season tournament, only to lose to the same team in the Finals? That’s actually going to create avoidance! CIP: This idea actually died the day Golden State, after treating every game like the championship, winning 73 games, lost game 7 of the 2016 Finals. I just saw Lou Williams say the Clippers lost a 3-1 lead I n the bubble because they knew the bubble championship would not be respected.
