LuKai Is Ready to Dominate the NBA

Roselo the Kyrie Irving piece I know him and LCA donic have played great together lately but I’m still not convinced that he’s not traded to the Lakers by the deadline the trade machine piece they call me the trade machine Godfather I D’Angelo Russell Jackson Hayes and whatever contracts make it work Mak some

Sense on paper at least and I’m wondering what you think roselo right I mean they’ve they’ve been playing great lately they have moments for you say wait what and people are going to yell at us cuz we thought it wasn’t going to work but here’s the

Thing I’m so scared to be wrong about an opinion I never choose a side so I said it could work and people must have forgotten that and if you want to say oh well Kyrie hasn’t been problematic yet has he been to daily Plaza yet does he

Know the CIA killed JFK in Dallas I’m just still not sure but anyways you think about it D’Angelo Russell I hate him I think he sucks but it makes some sense the Dallas Mavericks get their best win of the Season defeating the Minnesota teral wolves 15

15 to 108 thanks to en large part to the tremendous contributions from their Superstar duo their Superstar back court luk Kai Luca donic and Kyrie Irving who both had a masterful game Kyrie Irving 35 points 14 of 27 from the field six of eight from Deep Luca 34 points 12 of 26

From the field five of 12 from Deep 69 points combined that is the fifth most this Duo has scored since the trade 35 of those points came in the second half on the Mavericks desperately needed baskets getting it done against what is the best defense in the entire NBA obviously the Minnesota Timberwolves

Lead the league in defensive rating a 110 defensive rating on the season the Mavericks in this game pull off a 120 offensive rating so really just bringing it to one of the better teams in the league we could talk all day long about how great their offense is and how

They’re really starting to click and you could just kind of tell sure there’s still some my turn your turn to it but these are two of the best isolation players in the history of the sport it should be my turn your turn that’s how they win that’s how they score points

But there’s more of a Synergy now they feed off of each other it feels like they know all right it’s my turn to take over okay it’s my turn to take over okay it’s my turn to take over but this Duo has also been turning it on defensively

Kyrie Irving has done all of the small things so far this season in this game three steals two blocks to go along with eight rebounds since returning from his injury on January 1st Kyrie is averaging nearly nine rebounds a game it’s the most rebounds in a Four game stretch at

Any point in his entire career his 8.2 rebounding percentage is the highest of his career doing all the dirty stuff and Luca in this game did a great job against Carl Anthony towns of the post and had some really really strong and solid off ball moments defensively some

Very smart rotations that helped win the Mavericks the game that’s always been Luca’s weak point defensively has been his off ball his rotations falling asleep getting beat back door whatever the case may be and I thought he was really good in this game and that’s a big reason why very quietly the

Mavericks have had the ninth best defense in the NBA since December 1st that’s 20 games that’s over half the season the Mavericks have been a top nine defense you don’t really want to hear me ramble on about this telling you stuff you already know luuka and Kyrie

Are great together yeah we know we’re not idiots okay we don’t just listening to the mainstream podcast we watch the games we know they’re good you know Luca gets a lot of smack for his defense he’s really not a bad on ball Defender good job here set the tone early in the game

Jayen McDaniels hell no Jaden McDaniels one of 10 from the field in this game because Defensive Player of the Year candidate LCA donic was guarding him yeah I said it have you ever played NBA 2K he wins those things enough to bring tears to a grown man’s eyes right here

Bad gamble by Mike connley goar’s got to step up cat slides down to help who does that leave wide open in the corner LCA hey man that’s a good look luk will start knocking those down always a good sign three minutes into the game you hit a three the other team starts yelling

And crying at each other goar and Cat both dropping yelling at each other cat goes I got roller goar goes I’m jumping on Kyrie C goes no go goes yes that’s actually literally ver verb ver verb verb for verb word for word what they said well goar wasn’t lying he is

Dropping for Kyrie uh I don’t know if it’s the right Choice here that’s a little too easy not going to double team not going to Blitz and trap these screens one-on-one Luca against cat yeah that’s easy that’s a step back three in the corner he doesn’t hit those very often

Too much space here for Luca to operate cat too late to pick him up a Runway too big it’s an Endwood ref Luca was in his psychotic bag tonight talking at the refs after every single play but hey winners win baby if you’re going to send

To it Luca it’s got to be better than this just going to split that easily Kyle Anderson you got no chance bucko Derrick Jones Jr also had some great moments in this game I mean he’s been so big for the Mavericks this season Nas Reed Mavericks killer spinning Derrick

Jones Jr get that out of here again you you got to drop on Kyrie these little screens for Kyrie all right I mean that’s plenty of space for one of the better Shooters in the league to knock that down that’s easy Luca after the game in the press conference wanted

Everyone to know that he does have very strong legs a lot of people don’t know this but I do have very strong legs he does he’s got those tree trunks I got tree trunk legs too Luka battling for a position against cat and the post rips it away from

Behind legitimately man he’s been good on defense this year he just has did Kyrie make that no hey good rebound Dwight this little sequence right here huh Lucas sets a down screen for Kyrie Kyrie then sets a down screen for Luca and a great read by Dwight pal who finds

Kyrie Irving now here’s the thing right I going back and looking at some draft stuff prior to the year that Dwight pal came out a lot of people did compare him to Arvid sabonis just the passing the being a hub offensively you’re starting to see that come to fruition where the

Mavericks are kind of using Dwight Powell like Nicole yic and it’s really working out there’s no reason why Dwight po can’t average nine assists a game did I mention Derrick Jones Jr has been really good look at this block oh my God violence violence on that block from the weak side ah

And look at Kyrie with the active hands too down there goar got that back could have easily just gone up for a dunk poked it away great work great work Lads here’s an interesting moment in this game save this in your memory bank for later okay goar trying to seal Luca Luca

Wants a three seconds probably should have got it Go misses cleans it up uhoh talking happening now look at Luca’s reaction laughing goar knows he just poked the Beast uhoh Kyrie Irving just doesn’t make sense at any level and any level it doesn’t make sense physically biologically emotionally I

Mean that’s just disgusting weaving in and out of traffic oh my Lord look at the defense by Luca use those tree trunks use those tree trunks Get Low good job good double team by Josh Green good rotations right back LCA not give it an inch ball loose that’s

Right we’re flopping baby and we’re getting the call hey man you want to win the game you got to flop just a little bit I don’t make the rules this is Adam Silver’s League not mine Rudy goar where in the hell are you going where in the hell are you going

Don’t really know what the hell happened here defensively for the Timberwolves shot clock winding down 3 seconds Kyle Anderson’s not even looking at Luca he’s begging for help as a as a offensive player this must feel good you have the ball in your hands the shot clock’s

Winding down the guy guarding you is literally saying please please help me Nas Reed please come help come stand right here Nas Reed says no you got it dude Luka says you don’t have it I’m LCA donic don’t think there’s anybody in the league as good at the

Slow step as Luca donic just in such control boom that little slow step draws in all the Defenders and a beautiful little drop off for Rudy go be or for Grant Williams sorry look at this three guys jumping all because that slow step set it up really good look by Luca Kyrie

Gonna Miss This pullup three in transition I like the shot look at the hustle look out Luca Garza there’s only room for one Luca in this town and it’s not you Kyrie’s coming to send a message so methodical in such control of the game little yo-yo dribble right there gets to

His spot in the paint Fades and hits I mean it really is just a joy watching this guy play basketball again keep this in mind for later the Mavericks want Rudy goar making decisions good pass Rudy you just converge on him and make him do one thing other than the

Basketball and you feel pretty good about your chances good gracious look at how much space Luca generates on this step back this is Jen McDaniels this is one of the better defenders in the league off balance immediately Luca knows it knows he’s going to create a

Ton of space on that step back that’s nasty all right M’s going to get a turnover here go Dwight get a steal look at Luka just patient patient patient waiting for the defense to leave Kyrie Irving wide open in the corner for a three great job by Luca great patience

Slowing it down understand understanding that ant’s going to have to pick a guy here whether that’s Kyrie or Dwight pal or even Derrick Jones Jr someone’s going to be wide open and it ended up being Kyrie Irving wide open in the corner great job by luuka great job by Kyrie

Don’t reach n Alexander Walker do not reach you reach I teach step back three you reach I te good Lord man just just needs a tiny sliver of space right here too far off n kill Alexander Walker where’s the foul ref and one ref come on and Luka drawing so much attention

Tim Hardway Jr wide open in the corner we love that shot don’t you know that guy’s like top 10 in three-point shooting this year Tim Hardway Jr just such a tough shot tough shot taker tough shot maker Kyrie Irving enjoy it while it lasts ladies and gentlemen this type

Of talent only comes around very rarely this is really good individual defense by Jen McDaniels here Luca can’t beat him off the dribble he’s stuck all right I’ll just shoot this long too I me what do you do as a Defender right there cry I present without

Comment all right the tber Wolves went on a huge run in the middle of this fourth quarter to take a Sixpoint lead the Mavericks were in control for most of this game the Timberwolves go on 110 run they’re up six this is a huge point

In the game this sparked a 130 Run for the Mavericks that ended up that leading that led to them winning the game good find Dwight pal goes up strong and one Dwight pal had a great game I mean if you’re going to on him all the time

Guys you got to give him some props when he show when he shows up like he did last night you just have to Kyrie Irving’s shiftiness his explosiveness his craftiness has again one of the better one-on-one defenders in the sport Jaden McDaniels backpedaling every time Kyrie even flinches he’s flying into the

fifth row it looks like enough space for Kyrie Irving to knock down a three tie game how about this hustle play again from Kyrie going to lose the ball here goar has it all right good job Timberwolves no Kyrie gets it right back of course you make a play like that

You need to get rewarded it’s exactly what the Mavs do that little short roll Dwight pal Kyrie Irving in the three in the corner for the three in the three for the corner remember Rudy goar trash talking to Luca earlier okay well here we go a smart play by Luca defensively here great

Rotation helps over on goar goar shits himself and turns the ball over these are the things for Luca defensively if he starts making like really smart and making the rotations he’s supposed to make at a consistent level that’s really his weak spot defensively is his off ball defense then it really does change

Quite a bit good job and again I I think I saw a stat where if goar dribbles the ball once or twice he’s shooting 30% from the field make him make decisions good work oh and remember the trash talk earlier here’s Luca talking to go bear afterwards dumbass Mavericks up three with 31

Seconds left how about this for a dagger Derrick Jones Jr a double double in this game his second of the Season his second of his career hey throwing it down the dagger what a great win for the Dallas Mavericks when this Duo plays Luca and Kyrie a 51- win

Pace for the Mavericks so far this season when Luca Kyrie and Derrik Lively play a 55 win pace so this team looks really damn good when when this Duo’s on the floor and when that Trio including Derrick ly’s on the floor they got to get healthy Lively’s Miss sometimes with

An ankle injury Kyrie just came back from a a heel injury this team needs to get healthy and when they are healthy they look pretty formidable drick Jones Jr’s been great Josh Green looked really good since coming back from an injury of course Dante xam is now dealing with an

Injury himself but he’s been really good this season I’m liking what I’m seeing from this Mavericks team and I told you guys about that crazy Minnesota Timberwolf schedule that December schedule with so much rest Advantage was nuts and they they’ve now lost three of their last four games the sky is not

Falling for them or anything like that but you even saw in this game offensively it gets so rough sometimes that it’s it’s really hard to take them super seriously as a contender compared to some of the other top dogs in the league Give me liberty give me fire give

Me a team on the second night of a back toback or I retire

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving combined to score 69 points in a huge win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This duo is ready to take over the league.

  1. "@SlightlyBiased: You're simply outstanding! Reminds me of my days tuning into Radio Student from Ljubljana – their humor was as infectious as yours 🤣. Zi master of the art of delivering top reports. Algorithm into the stratosphere!

  2. Irving just got to stay healthy. Would i trade to Lakers? No. Do we need to add 2 or 3 players? Yes. Go get 2 of the following, KAT, LM, Capala, Drummond or PS. Then get Curiso if all possible.

  3. actually hilarious to see luka call gobert an idiot for that play because i was saying that exact thing from my couch to him to XD XD XD

  4. I thought there was no game yesterday, since I watch you ever time your live your literally the first on my recommendation😭 when I didn’t see you I assumed there was no game

  5. 7:38 Exhibit A of the strong legs. Everybody likes the quick step, but THIS STEP (do we call it slow step now?) is a Luka signature and a personal favorite of mine. It's fun watching people bite to the momentum not knowing Luka will slow down after that step.

  6. I see 1 path for kyrie trade and it’s an extreme case. Jewish Raabis tried to start a protest randomly against kyrie vs Utah. If that continues + the new owners being self proclaimed Zionist. I could only see a extreme situation where if this continued during the season they would trade Kyrie for Lebron. The reason why Lakers would entertain it is because Lebron is on his final year and you could pair kyrie and Ad for 2 years. Other then that no way kyrie gets traded
