Do you believe Luka & Kyrie could win a title as a duo? Has your opinion changed?
You aren't going to beat good teams on the road and especially on the second night of a back-to-back. The Mavs are playing pretty well. Not championship level, but they certainly improved.
Wish we had Mosley 😢
They work
May need to play Omax for defense
Go get OG
Play Exum more. Great defender and one of the most efficient scorers for minutes played so far
Look at what Rick Carlisle is doing post Luka. Look at what Porzingis is doing post Luka. Look at what Jalen Brunson is doing post Luka.
I get the feeling that Kyrie was brought in as a hail mary to distract from/get blamed for Luka's failure. You bring in an all-star point guard when you already have a 1st team all-NBA point guard? We need to push the pace! Distract from how other teams push the pace as Luka argues/stares down officials.
The Mavs are fools good . We will never be a contending team as along as we have egg man as a coach , Dwight playing meaningful minutes, and maxi doing whatever he does .
We are just getting better from here. Luka+Kyrie are going to get better and DLII is going to grow a lot. Also, the rest of the players are still adapting.
no "boom", "peace out"?
