    I’ve seen enough. Dereck Lively is the best center in NBA history.

  2. DirkNowitzkisWife

    Are the bulls good? No. Did we beat a team without our 2nd best player and with our MVP candidate playing his worst game of the season? Yes! I’m feeling good!

    Huge shoutout to the Mavs for closing this fucking game!

    Huge shoutout to Lively for an outrageous 7/13/6 love that!

    Grant Williams and DJJ combined for 42 points, is DJJ the best value of the off-season?

    THJ 24 points, he’s settling into the 6th man role swimmingly.

    We’re 4-0! The only undefeated team in the west LFG!

  3. Imagine a Dallas Mavericks team, in a clutch game, not only get key stops but extending the lead to double digits?

    Idk man this is different.

    Luka getting fouled from 94ft all game sucked, Grant is the best addition all year.

    Lively for ROTY

  4. Didn’t think Grant Williams would be this good on offense

  5. Ziggi_Hash

    Now we don’t have only the step back…

    THE SIDE STEP IS COMING FOR YOU NBA !

  6. Smuckers77

    Survived a Luka troll game with no Kyrie, this is a new era

  7. sentientblaze

    Holy shit lively has completely transformed and elevated the ceiling of this team

  8. Man this team is lights ahead of lasts season. I’m so excited for the future!

  9. Shaunosaurus

    this was a game we would lose last year. batman is huge for us

  10. HispanicAtTehDisco

    GRANT WILLIAMS REFUSES TO LOSE AS A MAVERICK

  11. What a win. Lively and Williams amazing. No kyrie. Luka struggling.. and we won…

  12. Derek Lively is the biggest dawg this franchise has had since Shawn Marion, Luka clamped DeRozan in the 4th, we move.

  13. JeanVicquemare

    Dereck Lively is really really fucking good. He doesn’t play like a rookie right now. He’s so good that he’s going to force Jason Kidd to keep playing him. The whole team is visibly so much better when he’s out there.

  14. It can’t be overstated how much Grant and Lively have transformed this team. I’m getting more and more excited about this team

  15. Before, if Luka struggled, we would lose most of the time. Glad to see the others played well! 4-0!

  16. architectzero

    What a crazy game. Refs had us on the ropes there a few times, and Luka going on tilt wasn’t helping, but daaaaamn, everyone figured their shit out and contributed. Real team win. Grant the standout performance, and Lively… what can I say, but what a STUD.

  17. elsporko321

    Grant Williams is like an even better peak PJ Tucker…he’s so damn good and exactly what this team needs

  18. armandocalvinisius

    Lively will be top 3 center in his prime. bet it

  19. Grant Williams and Dereck Lively have changed our team completely. Kidd trusting Hardy to play in that last 5 minutes was really good to see as well.

  20. Josh Green once again dog poo on offence, but his 4th quarter defence on Lavine can’t be ignored. He still an important contributor to the team, just hope his offence comes around sooner rather than later.

  21. NjallTheViking

    This may be the most excited I’ve every been about a Mavs team as a whole. Luka is Luka. We have exciting, solid young players for once. Guys like Grant Williams and DJJ coming to town and providing scoring. Still have solid guys like Tim, Dwight, Maxi hanging around. And oh yeah we won the last two games without our 2nd best player who is one of the best 4th quarter scorers in the NBA in Kyrie Irving.

    82-0 fuck it

  22. lilsaucy32

    – Last year, we lose this game. Non-negotiable.

    – Lively is stunning. Grant is stunning. I know that CHI had a lot of paint points, but we were icing/funneling the screens in so it was part of the game plan.

    – I get that THJ is polarizing, because his game is so streaky, but my word can he be some spark. While I do think he should be on the trade block, his chemistry with Luka is really under-appreciated on here.

    – DJJ for the vet min is as good as it gets.

    – Would like to see Green cut out the silly turnovers. He also still seems to be still struggling navigating through a screen on defense.

    – Didn’t like the complaining from Luka, but he didn’t force anything on offense this game. 3ball was off. It happens. Loved his effort on D.

    – I keep saying it but this team is seriously an OG away from making some noise. Just need to beef up that perimeter D.

    – Feels great to be 4-0. Denver next. Hopefully Kai is healthy enough to give it a go.

  23. Concentrate_Full

    I AINT INCLUDING THJ IN A TRADE FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN OG, hes still our 3rd best player on the offense in situations when Luka and Kai cant be relied on

  24. dragonwhale

    I gotta give Kidd some credit for how the team is playing. Yet to face a top 15 team in the league but still it’s nice to be 4-0.

    Grant was always gonna be great. Derrick Jones Jr though?? DAM bro. Man is having a full career revival and more.

    Kudos to Nico too.
