    Y’all think Suns practice sessions consist of all the players getting in a circle and jerking each other off while talking about how scary we’re gonna be when Beal comes back?

  3. beer_down

    I hate that Luka is associated with a deeply traumatic event in my life because he’s damn good and I want to enjoy watching him

    GG Mavs. Merry Christmas

  4. Zbz

    Luka 50 piece. Merry Christmas Mavs fans

    Side note: Was there only 1 commentator tonight? Or did both commentators just sound extremely similar?

  5. Palifaith

    This game is definitely not gonna help discredit the “Luka is Devin Booker’s father” allegations.

  6. smashacc

    Booker and KD got carried by Ted Cruz and Metu all game, and they were still too heavy for the W 😹😹😹

  9. GunsmokeIV

    I’m begging you here Phoenix, get Metu some help. Trade KD and Booker for assets and picks

  10. aiden3buckets

    KD really don’t look he wanna be out there. Woj may have been cooking.

  12. FreezersAndWeezers

    Luka v Grayson Allen

    White boy basketball has never been so back

  13. JayQuips

    Time to add “Luka vs the Suns” to the list of mythical NBA players, if he wasn’t there already

  15. Responsible_Pace9062

    You could have told me Durant was not playing and I would have believed it, man was just invisible the whole game, especially the last 18 minutes

  16. HS-smilingpolitely

    Just want to find someone who loves me as much as Luka hates the suns

  17. boredluvlyfe

    Probably the overall best game i’ve seen from luka. absolute masterpiece tonight.

  18. whitefang0824

    DERECK LIVELY is such a difference maker on MAVS, that 4th quarter masterclass. Fucking unreal to think this dude is only 19 yrs old.

    Imagine Lively on his prime playing alongside Luka, that would be such a treat.

  20. sergechewbacca

    Might be one of Luka’s best games ever. Controlled the entire game. Even when the Suns led, I don’t think anyone thought Mavs weren’t gonna win.

  21. diablejambeats

    Luka 10K, Luka 50 piece, Lively back, and Mavs win

    I love Christmas.

    Hopefully we can get Ky and the rest back soon!

  22. Macchiiavvelli

    4 All NBA Teams at 24 a deep run in WCF and the fastest player to reach 10000k points

  23. EAS1000

    Honestly it was really sweet to see Doncic spend time with his children on Christmas. He never lets them win though.

  24. jakekerr

    The Mavs are an entirely different team with Lively on the floor.

  25. kingofnick

    KD was fucking terrible tonight. He gave no effort at all. Book didn’t shoot well but he was at least giving a ton of effort. Jones Jr and Lively got so many open dunks because KD didn’t bother to rotate or help on D.

  26. naasb2012

    Yeah yeah Luka dropping 50/14/6 on 60/50/100 shooting splits is cool and all… but 7 STOCKS? Give this guy MVP already, I’m tired of pretending anybody else is close to him

  27. CheetahSperm18

    >Here’s your Dallas Mavs Post Game Summary. Now in our 7th Season 7️⃣

    Did the Mavs win? ✅ another Christmas W for Luka

    Luka had this game circled on his calendar when he saw it was the Suns in Phoenix. He didn’t disappoint with a flurry of records set tonight from 10K points to 3’s made, to points on Christmas, and finishing with a 50/6/15 & 7 Stocks knocking down 8 3’s. 🇸🇮5️⃣0️⃣🍔🔥👌💹🔟🅾️🅾️🅾️ THAT’S MY MVP

    DJJ with 23pts with 3 3’s 💦👌

    Timmy started again tonight with Kyrie still out finishing with 18/7/2 👍👍

    WELCOME BACK LIVELY!! Our rookie came back in time for his first Christmas Day game and had himself a quintessential big man game of 20/10 ♜🎄

    This game was a serious 4 Man show with them combining for 111 of our 128 points…. 4️⃣🐎

    Merry Christmas Y’all! 🎄🎁☃️❄️
