I get a little annoyed with Luka when he acts like a baby after a foul.. but he really only acts this way to the refs.. and I mean we all hate Tony Brothers equally so I canāt be that mad
ISAPS
It helps when there’s nothing really to be salty about haha. Refs were atrocious for both sides, Luka was Luka, and we were own worst enemy at times. Let alone being down Fred and Pascal. Ultimately it was a pretty fun game and we at least gave a good push at the end!

But Luka is a monster bro like wtf he is not even that fast..he is just genius.

Itās only like this when you play teams from the other conference. This woul never happen with an eastern conference team

I mean Luka is borderline one of a kind

When Luka goes off and beats us: “That ok, Luka is a generational talent! We should be blessed we get to watch him beat our team!”
When Tyrese Maxey goes off and beats us: “$#&# you #$&$ing Tyrese Maxey, stop $#&$ing smiling you piece of _#&$”

Kidd coaches great on defense. Didn’t allow us fast breaks at all.

Luka as a player is good but idk some of his facial expressionās and attitude bothers me sometimes. I can see why other fan bases call him cry baby. That being said I am sure everyone thought lowry was a cry baby. Nba gives more calls to cry babies for some reason. Thatās why they do it.

Luka is a crybaby. And the coach is of questionable character. But nothing against the Mavs.

I couldnāt count the amount of times luka made these crazy shots full contested. Youād think, oh man thatās just a āflukeā. Nah, he hit it all night. Iām still bummed we lost tho

Best thing about being a Canadian NBA fan prior to the Grizz and Raps was the ability to be a fan of any team you wanted. I settled on having a West and East team. My West team since about ā91 is the Mavs, and my East team since about ā99 is the Raps (it was the Bulls before). Whenever my teams play each other is just a weird experience, because I win and lose simultaneously.
Right now the parallels between the Mavs and Raps are kinda cool. Both are great orgs today, with histories of being dumpster fires. Both teams have fantastic player-oriented coaches. And while Luka is in a tier of his own, Siakam is *still* climbing that ladder and is in the leagueās Top 10. Both teams have very solid supporting casts, and the vibes on both teams are immaculate. Aaaaand, both teams have great fanbases (though Iāll admit, I hang out on /r/Mavericks a lot more because thereās far less /r/NBACirclejerk material over there).

They were good too: Hoping siakam wasnt hurt bad, acknowledging how tough a game while down our two best players etc.. I also lurk but donāt ever comment on other team subs.

Someone said it up top: there isn’t really much animosity between an Eastern/Western team since you’ll only ever face off twice a year
Of course unless you’re talking about the Lakers/Celtics. That’s historical beef and who’ll break the championship tie breaker
