After a disaster end to their season last year, the Dallas Mavericks have been one of the NBA’s best teams so far behind the elite play of Luka Doncic who might be in line for his first MVP. Kyrie Irving has been a great second option, Grant Williams has been a big contributor, Dereck Lively has been one of the best rookies so far, and the offense is historically great. Let’s talk about it.

Cone curse mavs losing to bucks and kings 💔
Lukas been carring my team on fantasy I traded Demar Lavine and Ja for him and its paid off so far (except for when he got 1 fantasy point)
Everytime I watch the Mavericks play I always see how much hustle and physicality Derrick Lively plays with, like when someone misses a shot and he jumps out of no where and gets the rebound. Very fun to fun and he has a crazy amount of potential!
Imo they are a really good POA defender and some Lively development away from serious contention. A lineup of Luka-Kyrie-Caruso-Williams-Lively is good enough for the WCF this year imo
They are definitely better this year with Grant Williams and company, but they haven't played a lot of playoff bound teams.
luka also looks skinny!
Scary in the first round
all they need is for Lively to really get comfortable in the NBA so he can stop fouling, maybe another backup big and an athletic wing, and they’re a deep playoff run contender imo
I love how Luka popped out with an MVP level season when we all think this is his peak
they need to trade for Drummond and Caruso if they can. Maybe that would mean giving up Josh Green, a 1st and something more but in my opinion, this trade could take them all the way.
I wonder where all the kyrie haters went? It's been pretty quiet😂
I really applaud what Kyrie is doing because he’s pretty much doing everything everyone thought he couldn’t and that’s basically like you said take a back seat and play the supporting role to a tee now everyone’s questioning if he’s still him scoring wise but we should all know that Kyries always gonna be able to do that when he has to so I’m really impressed.
For Luka? An average game is 30 pt triple double. That's it. Any lower than that then it's considered a bad game for him. I know what anyone reading this comment is thinking: that statline is amazing for any other player. But for guys like Luka, Jokic, Lebron, and a select few: that is just average.
Called it…all those retarded who said kyrie and luka couldn’t play together were insane
Thj for Anuoby or Caruso?
II was very optimistic, predicting them to be good, during the pre-season. They even surpassed my quite high expectations and are already good. I expected them to need a little more time, but their offensive is the best in the league. Sure technically the pacers have slightly higher offensive rating, but this offense is sustainable, hard to stop (unless you have incredible defense) and ideal for a playoff situation, with 2 stars that are both extremely reliable, even in the postseason.
A bit too early to bask in the glory of my prediction, but I'm just happy they are really playing well and are fun to watch. They did get trounced by (the still incomplete) Pelicans on their homecourt .. and I mean trounced in capital letters. Both my teams have huge potential and I couldn't be more excited for this season.
