FIRST THINGS FIRST | Luka Doncic is simply unstoppable lately! – Nick reacts Mavs def. Heat 114-108

By Mell the bark of a fighter Mavs snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over the heat courtesy of another triple double from which I guess is good it’s good for most players but when Lua does it sometimes they lose here’s Jason kid painting a beautiful picture about Luca take a

Listen Luca’s triple doubles um I’ve always said this we can’t take that young man for granted um you’re seeing something as um rare as a Picasso wild I mean what are we talking wild just can I he’s gonna call him the goat what place are the what place the M

Also just for the record Picasso while a brilliant artist famous for being maybe the most prolific painter ever so we looked it up all of NBA history there have been 5,000 players there are currently 13,500 out there then it’s a fair so I mean I think I think is it rare as

Picasso or as a no that’s wrong cuz as rare as Picasso that is would be fine he actually said as rare as a Picasso which you can see at I I think a lot of CVS we have so no disrespect disrespect Picasso Picasso Picasso what all over the place uh sorry

So here’s the question that I did not write are the Mavs wasting Luca’s talent I feel like you were the inspiration behind Okay are the Mavs wasting T I love Luca you know that I mean you kind of you stole him from me you stole LeBron from me you stole LCA I love

Luca I called him Luca Legend I think I was the first the first I agree and I to get MAV fans ticked off at me again I agree with kid that he’s better than Dirk this dude is phenomenal about that but he they are not wasting his prime or

Whatever you want to say Lucas got to look in the Luca’s got to play a little differently like he’s just two ball dominant and he’s great but one he’s a oneman show and I think I don’t know if I’ve ever shared with you guys the

Chanty bips what he told me this was a decade ago and we’re talking about all these great point guards putting up these great numbers nowadays you know especially 10 years ago and he was like if I dribbled the ball for 20 seconds and I either took the shot or passed it

To the guy that was going to take the shot i’ have great numbers too and so I’m not trying to belittle Luca’s numbers cuz he is legitimately great but a lot the some of the numbers are that he does everything for them that roster is not that bad you got a legitimate

Second star in Kyrie you got some bigs that are decent and athletic Lively looks like he could be something Tim Hardaway Jr is a very good player Off the Bench and can shoot like I’m not saying it’s a championship roster but look at Jaylen Brunson we had no idea

Jaylen Brunson was this he played well that last year with Luca average 16 points but my point is One Man shows no matter how great LeBron Jordan Willl Oscar they James Harden not on their level but James Harden didn’t win as one man CHS and Lucas’s getting to the point

Nick where we’re gonna start like you got to start winning and so I think he’s they’re gonna have to figure out a way where everybody can be involved and he’s he’s still the star so I I understand that but also with this exact style they

Beat the one seed Suns they went to the Conference Finals right we saw that and they lost to the champion warriors with this style Luca didn’t change his style at all and in fact Luca as good as his regular season numbers are historically his numbers get better in the postseason

Which is why this is so frustrating because the Mavericks made the same mistake I’ve seen teams make which is you draft a Transcendent Talent mhm who’s so good so quickly you try to microwave it the Cavs did it when they got LeBron instead of being patient you

Try to make these moves that are going to box you in and then you can never build out the roster the most famously the Pelicans oh my God Anthony Davis is unbelievable already trade for Drew holiday try to win right now and then by the time the guy is actually ready to

Win your roster doesn’t make sense your own flexibility the Mavs oh my God this lcad donic guy might be a top five player in Year too trade for christs let’s get his second star now oh that doesn’t work now you’re box in you end up making the Kyrie trade the one year

The Mavs have had postseason success they had the number 15 offense in the league and the number six defense in the league was Luca a better Defender then no but they had a roster of Defenders the belief being okay focus on defense and in the off in the postseason when

Luke is playing basically the whole game cuz he can cuz he’s young the offense will naturally get better last year when they stunk number six offense number 23 defense this year when they’re disappointing they don’t stink number six offense number 22 defense get Defenders around it’s like but again

Like like when Allen Iverson got to the finals that’s what they did but they never won it and that’s the thing now he’s I he’s better I we we’ll see what he ends up but yeah but I I if he’s better than Durk he’s better than

Iverson as far as what his Apex Talent is does not historic awesome there’s no doubt but here’s the other thing and I know he’s never going to be a great defender but he at times doesn’t even look like he’s given effort yeah but it’s weird and Kyrie doesn’t isn’t a

Great defender so their two best players aren’t not only not very good Defenders but at times don’t even look like they’re trying and that sends a bad message to the other players that’s one reason they’re horrific defensively one reason I like Charles Barkley and why that show was so good very short takes

That are just perfect feels like a shot at me man no what wow that was was shot at you kid go it was he’s averaging 37.6 you can Round Up to 38 points post All-Star game they’re three and five and Chuck just said that’s too many that’s

Too many points he’s leading the League points and assist but he’s also leading an assist so it’s like well yeah but I mean again if you make every that’s how and when it’s him not doing it it’s Kyrie’s turn that’s what they do I fervently believe maybe the problem

For the Mavs ability if they were to you know go on a playoff R lose in the playoffs might be the heliocentric stuff I do not think the problem of why they’ve been mediocre the last two regular seasons is their offense they are a really good offense doing this now

If you want to say it we haven’t seen it work in the playoffs you know historically to win a championship for anybody that that’s fine but the problem is the roster doesn’t have Defenders yeah let me quickly I think in the offseason they should look to trade Kyrie to the Lakers okay Reeves

Hachimura Vanderbilt that you got a Defender Vanderbilt Reeves will hustle on defense and can play off the ball and is not a good Defender who no vanderbild is re is also a better
