The Dallas Mavericks (mostly) coasted to a win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Luka Doncic dropped a 30-point Triple Double, Christian Wood connected with Luka, and Jaden Hardy shined in an extended run.
Nick Angstadt & Isaac Harris breakdown the Mavs win over the Pelicans. How did Luka & Wood’s connection take another step in this game? What did they see from Jaden Hardy? How did JaVale McGee play his best game as a Maverick?

Bro Jaden Hardy surprised me ngl bro had me hyped and Luka and wood duo 👁️👄👁️🥶
anything
below
C. Wood is the real unicorn 🦄. He is everything we expected from KP and never got. I hope Mavs will get him a contract. Also Hardy should get Bullocks minutes. Bullock should get traded. And we sure do miss Green
Javele macgee is finally starting to play.
Yeah, Hardy Party
LOYALTY NEVER FADES AWAY, LET IT RIDE!
I say to at least to truly contend not like be considered absolute favorites but to be an actual threat and not be frauds is trade for Bojan, Turner and Caruso. I don't think it would be possible to get a player of the caliber like Lavine and since I think the West is open for grabs, I say go all in with these minor but significant trades.
I believe Luka alone is talented enough to take over games so while having a co star would be super helpful, the next best thing for a superstar is having an amazing roster. Soo…
Bertans 1RP for Bojan
DP/Mcgee 1RP (maybe ->) 2nRP for Turner
Bullock 2nRP for Caruso
I think this adds more consistent scoring, defense and versatility on the team.
Luka, Josh, Bojan, Wood, Turner would be my ideal lineup.
More defense Luka, Caruso <-> Josh, Doe, Turner
More offense Luka, Spence, Josh, Bojan, Wood
Why is bullock still getting significant mins?? Does he go crazy in practice or something?
Mavs best the Pelicans bench
Ehh, no Zion and McCollum and Ingram = 10 points. Bullock is still trash, maybe Hardy become a decent role player.
They shot over 25% from 3
Reggie is off he has to go
Nick, you better not miss that haircut appointment! 🤙😬😝
Yall sleepin on spencer dinwiddie 3
I used to rave/be into EDM , “hardy party” is CERTIFIED
We won because bullock got 1 point. Dudes a paper weight
I think actually Mcgee played a great game. If this was his level of play every game, he was all we expected. He made 6 points and 6 rebounds with 3 blocks, but he felt effective in defense disrupting shots and so on. Sincerely he will have a few more stops if the refs were not terrible, he got called for 2 fouls where he was vertical and set, never should have been called fouls.
I won't get tired of saying that the Mavs will only win the NBA if they trust in Wood and if he plays like he is playing. Not trusting him because of his defense or whatever is admitting that you will be out in the first or second round of the PO and that this year you are not winning it. I am sorry but it is a risk that you have to take. That guy gives us another dimension in offense and Luka knows it.
javale bro is good
Mavericks won because the Pelicans were without their 3 stars let’s be honest. Also Mavs should consider Graham he’s not being used by the Pels think he’d be relatively cheap to get.
What a fun to watch Hardy! We need this minutes for him!
I could genuinely play this moment, 1:21 , all day and not get bored….
IT'S A HARDY PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember when people said at the beginning of the season that starting Wood was what should’ve happened? I do. Lol
Strange but good game. If only others besides Luka would just turn in a higher gear and play as they played in this game. I'm an optimist so I think that was the game that clicked and from this moment forward the pathnis only up.
They won bcoz they kept their composure late in the 4th quarter. The bench did their best.
Team defense
And we gonna lose against Thunder if Luka sits out.😅😅😅😅😅
Wake up! Wake up! If Dorian, Kleber and Reggie play significant minutes it means Wood, Hardy and Green are having their minutes stolen. Lol Hardy and Green playing like the role players while Dorian and Reggie play like the G league players.
In less than a month 4-6 guys might not be with this team. If Hardy keeps playing well it’s entirely possible he’s playing somewhere else. I see a massive trade coming. This might be their standing sadly.
Hardy Party🎉
Bench Bullock & play Hardy
I was pleasantly surprised with javale mcgee this game. I think he played decent.
Also, I get that Reggie is struggling to score right now but replacing him removes perhaps the only other defender in this roster.
If Bertans and a 2027 1st is really an option for Bogey DO IT! DO IT NOW!!!! We could start luka, thi, bogey, dorian, and wood bringing spencer off the bench in a 6th man role
That was a cool photoshop of Dwade in a bulls jersey nice work
Josh Green is in contention for most reliable catch and shoot 3-pointer.
Do Mavs have 4 first round picks? Or will they?
Come on hardy…
Cmon, let's just embrace it and start Hardy for the OKC game
Hardy five for his last six on three’s. Is his personality “streaky shooter”? Let’s see. He’s the kind of guy who can shoot you out of a game or into a game. Like Tim.
A couple weeks ago we lost this exact game with all our starters. This line up is with luka wood and Tim is just better rn. Now if we can get some defense in there like insert doe and maxi and it might be something special!
