Man, Jaden Hardy is ballin. What an amazing player. Also, Dereck Lively is such an amazing rookie!
Batman saves Dallas once again.
Please tell Grant that we don’t play with the Cowboys in Dallas. He will never be liked by Dallas fans wearing an Eagles jersey right after this type of loss. I will never like him! He just ruined it. Players come here liking all different teams. That’s fine but don’t disrespect our city, our teams. I don’t like him now and I’ll never like him.
Im proud of the team for being 5-1 when Luka, Kidd, and Kyrie have only been together for 3 games. We have the greatest PGs in NBA history running our team. Give them a few more games and they’ll figure out everyone’s roles. So far so good.
5-1 record is exceptional. I've been very critical of Jason Kidd but this season he's doing a great job I can't lie! Every level of the team deserves praise – Ownership (Mark), GM (Nico), HC (J Kidd), Senior Players (Luka, Kyrie, THJ, Grant, DP), young players (Hardy, Green, Lively). Lets keep going and beat Orlando today!! MFFL!!
Feel as Kai changed the whole perception here in Dallas, love the team we got this season with the new pickups
Wsp with the Philly jersey🤦♂️
Grant is really grand.
This goofball man 😭😭
😎😎 Why is Luka this year taking so many three point shots (12 attempts per game), as opposed to last year, when he was taking only maximum 8 three point shots per game? Luka is sadly not a great shooter the majority of the time. Luka is not Curry when it comes to shooting three pointers. He has always been a very streaky three point shooter and a very inefficient three point shooter. And i honestly don't think this will ever change for the better (Luka is a 33% three point shooter throughout his Nba career). He always eventualy comes back to his standard 33% three point efficiency sooner or later every single year (just right after a few games of good three point shooting at the beginning of his season or at the end of his season).
In contrast to this season, in the last five seasons the majority of Luka's shots were very efficient two point shots (midrange shots, post-ups, fadeaways, floaters, layups and all the other two point shots, combined with his excellent footwork).
And he was always a very efficient scorer in the past few years, because he was taking those kind of efficient two point shots the majority of the time.
Luka was also playing alot of bully ball in the last few seasons (just like Jokic), which basicaly made him unguardable. Luka has evidently lost alot of his previous weight in the last couple of months, which has sadly also resulted in him becoming a way worse post-up scorer and a way worse driver to the basket. In this season Luka is not posting up as much and as successful as he was in the previous years. He sadly also doesn't play his signature bully ball anymore.
So, instead of him playing like in the last few years, Luka is now sadly playing alot more off the ball in this season and he is sadly jacking up alot of these awfull and inefficient three point shots in every single game (Luka was efficient in his three point shooting only in the first two games this year).
Luka would be better off, if he would simply just turn his last year's body fat into body muscles, while at the same time keeping his last year's weight. He should have just worked on his cardio, body strenght, lifting weights, gaining muscles in the gym, and simultaniously also working on his stamina and conditioning (while at the same time keeping his last year's weight).
Luka simply just needs to bulk up with muscles and work on his stamina (conditioning). Luka should have just kept his last year's weight and simply just turn his last year's body fat into muscles and strenght (while at the same time working on his stamina and his conditioning).
Strangely, Jayson Tatum this year has become, what Luka had been as a basketball player in the last few years in terms of his shot selection and in terms of his big body build (strenght and force). Simultaniously, on the other hand, Luka this year has sadly turned into last years version of Tatum (when Tatum was playing very inefficiently, very ONE-dimentional scoring-wise, with absolutely NO paint scoring or presence, very soft and without any strenght or force, and was basicaly just jacking up all his inefficient three point shots all the time, while having a very lean body with absolutely no strenght and with absolutely no force in the paint – exactly just like Luka sadly is looking and playing right now in this current season). What a sad irony this is.
In the previous years Luka was a very efficient two-point scorer and a force of nature in the paint, with excellent footwork. Now, in this current season, Luka is almost getting pushed around in the paint (instead of him playing bully ball). And the majority of the time Luka doesn't even get in the paint to score, but instead he just shoots his inefficient step-back threes all the time (even worse than this shooting is when he shoots those awfull and inefficient off-the-ball catch and shoot threes).
What a disappointing downgrade and regression in his scoring repertoar and in his scoring efficiency, as well as in his shot selection, when in reality Luka is the most diverse and exciting scorer in the Nba in the last five years, who is capable of scoring the ball at all the three known levels (and in numerous different ways).
