Kidd knew something we didnt starting DJJ, happy to see it pay off tonight with no Kyrie
The Smart flop party at the end was crazy lmao
Sure would have been fun to have watched that game.
DJJ, what the hell??
Yall need to apologize to Derrick Jones Jr.
Wish I could have watched but Ballys said fuck me. How did Lively look?
Luka seems different this year.
Big win without their best player
Feels great to start 3-0
#DWIGHT POWELL HIT IN THE FACE COUNTER: 2
Man that looked like a great game! I sure would’ve liked to see it.
Fuck Bally sports. I pay them $130 so I can legally watch them and so the Mavs can see viewership numbers etc and the whole thing is shit.
Rare Kidd coaching dub
This does seem like Luka’s first MVP year
Shitty first quarter defense, held them to 25, 25, 24 rest of the way
The juniors did a great job tonight.
We are cooking boys if they can keep the complementary pieces can keep making their shoots, and Kyrie gets his game back slowly 👀👀
4th Q Josh Green was phenomenal today.
He has a chaotic aura with his movements and I’m here for it. Love the hustle.
DJJ player of the game. Shut me the hell up for sure. Fantastic start to the season
DJJ and josh deserve major praise. They deserve the game ball. Luka we already know is goated
Luka is just a different animal man. MVP season.
3-0 for the first time since 04-05 is actually wild
Ok guys. Start the whine! Tell us how this was actually horrible.
Man Luka has been insane to start the year. Less complaining, trying on defense, owning up to his fouls, and just overall happy. I hope he can keep this up the whole season because if he does .. MVP.
Shoutout DJJ
Couldn’t watch the game, just curious how early Lively got in foul trouble?
35/12/12 for Luka.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Absolutely wild that Luka can make 35-12-12 look like just a normal night. I hope everyone takes a moment to appreciate how incredible he is. And it looks like the rest of our team is pretty well balanced compared to the last few years.
Feels so good to win, just worried about Luka’s minutes. We can’t always play him 40+mins every game.
Once Lively figures out the foul situation he’s going to be legitimately the best defensive center in basketball.
Yes it’s 3 games in, no I don’t care.
LOL Someone had a virtual sigh of relief in one of the Mavs FB groups I’m part of because Luka scored 35 (he bet an at least 35-10-8 statline for Luka in addition to us winning) via those last 2 FTs
We’re gonna win the Super Bowl!!
There was that scary moment when thr Grizz cut it down to 4 but I’m glad we squeezed it through. Doubtful it would have been the same story the prior years.
Mavs haven’t started 3-0 since like 2007…
If douchebaggery were a counting stat, Smart would be a league leader . . .
DJJ was great!!! Lively had 2 soft fouls that killed him but he still looked okay, JJJ was elbowing him every play and he stood strong. Took him out at the end because he looked a little passive and thats not we want, good move by Kidd.
great game from tim. Tim will always be tim, still had some dumbass mistakes but shot well.
Maxi had his moments but man you can really see the decline
Dwight 4 blocks LOL
Luka is luka he’s shooting so well to start the year damn
Kidd did great, good time outs, DJJ did great and the biggest take away from today, Luka did his strong triple double and THJ with a nice game. Good win weird game
THJ and Derrick Jones Jr both came up huge! Listening to everyone on this sub would make you think they were complete bums that should be overseas in China. Well without them I dont think we win tonight at all.
First quarter defense needs work but in all 3 games, they played increasingly better on defense as the game progressed.
This team is gonna be like last years Kings, just out-scoring teams and if the game is close in the fourth, relying on Luka/Kyrie to close it out.
– I think Luka is taking a leap in front of our eyes. Significantly less complaining, significantly better defensive effort. I truly think Jokic winning a chip motivated him. So proud of him for fixing up and hope this is a forever thing.
– Our wing rotation of DJJ/Green/Grant W. is excellent value for their contracts. Imo missing one more starting level wing for contention, but those 3 will hold it down until then.
– THJ is the streakiest player in the league, lol
– This team has more focus compared to last season. We still need to be better on D, specifically on the perimeter, but this team will be in it in most games.
It’s so nice to see Luka not complaining. He even acknowledges the foul he commits. So refreshing.
Plus the weight loss is paying dividends. He is playing incredibly well.
