McKinley wright looked really good
One word: Luka Doncic
Luka finally got his fiddy game. And of course, the next highest scorer was Bertans with 11 lmfao
It’s never fucking easy
Dang Luka only needed 2 more rebounds to have a good game đ
Luka motherfucking Doncic
Congratulations on Luka for beating the Houston Rockets entirely on his own!
Iâll always take a win, especially on a Luka 50 burger.
That said, it was 105-97 with 5:11 to go. We then went 2-10 down the stretch, with 8 of those shots being 3s. This late game offense is a problem and itâs got to change.
Thank god we didnât choke that đ
# LUKA. FUCKING. DONCIC.
Luka carried so hard
Tim Brickaway has returned
Man Frank was so close to having a good game (by Frank standards) until those two late turnovers. The coaching staff needs to stop telling him heâs a guard.
Davis Bertans was a +23. I will not elaborate further
Cuban, no matter how many bots you hire to defend you here, I will keep saying it, get Luka help. Otherwise you are just another cunt.
Tim Hardaway Junior is not help.
Only 2 others with over 10 pts. TEAM PLEASE WTF
Luka isn’t a top 3 MVP candidate smh…
Luka said am gonna do it by myself tonight. Nobody stepped up apart of Bertans and Theo Pinson lmao
Luka with the ultra hard carry job but my god the coaching staff should be ashamed. That safe lead almost went gone because of shooting 3s exclusively the last few minutes.
Our man said, “Enough, give me the ball. The baby GOAT is bringing this one home”.
they really needed a 50 piece to beat the tanking Rockets
weâre having a competition with ourselves for ugliest win possible..at least weâre above .500 now
Luka 50 this is why we tune in awesome. But he needs a lot of help
Our boys out there getting mauled and getting no calls.
Wood might not have been big on offense but he was huge on defense tonight. 4 blocks!
Luka saving his career high for Sunday đ
If Luka doesn’t score fifty…Mavs lose by 50 lmao
Lol Luka during the post game interview
“Those 3 Steals should be 4”
Cuban isnât worthy Luka, truly a carry job tonight.
CWood made some clutch defensive stops there at the end. Bertans was lasering. why did JKidd sub Pinson in the last 12secs?
Ok ok. 3rd quarter was a disaster and 4th quarter was about 50 consecutive car accidents but luka played the entire second half and put on a show. You got to get those wins ANY way possible now. Also Theo Pinson for 6MOTY
THJ is a bum
I donât even feel like we won tbh. I feel sorry for luka man. He cannot continue this type of play and energy all season
The fact that Luka had to play 40+ minutes and drop 50-10-10 just to sneak by a young and bad Rockets is all you need to know how pathetic Cuban and the front office are.
Sure we were shorthanded. But letâs be honest, I doubt the outcome would have been drastically different based on how the team has performed this season even when healthy.
We suck late games but there are no such thing as easy wins in the NBA anymore. Itâs like the whole league got better and we did little to adjust.
Luka willed us to this win. Half the freaking team out
All of Dinwiddie’s attempts were threes. That’s not cool. Him and Timmy in particular almost cost us this game.
Travel issues, depleted roster, on the road. Iâll take a win when we have to play Theo pinson no matter who play/how we win it
Luka vouching for Wood in his interview
âMerry Christmasâ – Luka
Luka plus minus was even. Was a struggle.
Needing Luka to drop 50 and play 42 mins against the tanking Rockets. I know we’re missing players but it’s honestly so fucking embarrassing.
A win is a win but we’re just so… fucked.
Bertans shooting well
Luka scores 50 and we got the W but people still come here to bitch. Some of yâall just need to enjoy the wins lol
