Key will be that Luka is in shape and stays in shape for the whole season imho.
Atp its always gonna be finals or bust, unless Luka gets injured significantly.
higher you climb the steeper the fall
If Klay is happy then there will be fear at the other teams
This is the season. We have at least six guys that possibly won’t be here next year. It’s now or never.
The problem last year was Klay's head, not the skills
I really think Naji will be the 4th or 5th best player on the team. And he can play 20 min in NBA finals
nick if lay-up line maxi misalot ever plays 20 mins in a game again you can count it as a lose he is a scrub
Championship 🎉🎉🎉🎉
We need our 3rd, 4th and 5th best players to be better than Derrick white, Jrue Holiday and Al Horford, because that’s who beat us in the finals. Those three guys were better than PJ, Lively and Jones.
If we are ahead then Klay doesn’t close games. Marshall does. If we are behind then we will need his floor stretching ability and scoring. Threes late will be critical down by five with less than two minutes left. Up five? We will need stops and Naji will be our best on ball defender. Thompson can’t be that guy anymore.
If we have Luka on the court …. I Believe 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Luka …. if he can walk and chew gum …. he is MVP this season …. period
Can we throw the most Lobs this season? 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Let’s look at it like this. Luka makes everyone around him look offensively better. In return, those around him have to make him look defensively better.
Now that Luka has those around him that don’t need him to make them offensively better, he needs to defend better.
Kyrie simply needs to tap into whatever made him disappear in Boston and actually address it with a therapist maybe. Boston is the team to beat, so Kyrie needs to plan accordingly.
You don't look as engaged with the new intro music compared to the original one.
Let us not worry about the finals and the playoffs. Not until Feb.
Go steady, tune, heal, stars play less than 35 mins, and still win games.
I think this years mavs will be like 07. Coming off a finals appearance, MVP caliber 55-60 win season. Kind like the 2022 suns aswell
Anything
intro stinks
I'll put Nick for the whole game, biased raccoon squad here 😊
Thanks Nick 🦝🦝
The gafford slander is insane gafford should still split minutes with lively
New intro is 🔥
20 mins in a finals series is such a convoluted and arbitrary way to analyse the depth chart Nick 😂
Harsh on Dinwiddie – whatever else he is, he’s a very smart player and made the most of the space he got near Luka and Brunson in 22 playoffs…he had some massive games and will be a key piece in big games
Without taking a step back, Kyrie will be the mavs 3rd best player. DLive will be 2nd best at 20/12 with 2.5 blocks while feasting on PnR and anchoring the D. (I might be getting a few years ahead of myself).
I agree with your assessment, but hope we are surprised by 1 or 2 guys. Then again Celtics only had 6 guys. Are we deeper?
Go vegan!!!
I guarantee that the mavs will not make the conference finals, nor will Luka win mvp. I've seen how delusional other mavs fans can be based on how many people thought that they would beat Boston. Being a fan and being realistic can coexist.
But the last time we saw Dinwiddie in playoffs with Mavs, he was good. And Quintin is a strong “maybe”
media voting should be remove theyre racist
I am older than the mavs, and didn’t made the finals once
