I wonder how much easier Luka sleeps at night knowing his offensive centers are Lively and Gafford instead of Dwight Powell. Edit: I jinxed the F outa this one.
-
I understand not liking Gobert or his game but man, he's always the scapegoat. None of the Wolves stars have shown up. Ant threw away this game in the last minute, but still all I see is Gobert this and that
-
All season mavs fans complain about kidd. Masterfully hea outcoaching in conference finals. Give man credit
-
Luca and Jokic look like the characters in Anime have all the time to analyze every situation before passing the ball
-
As a Wolves fan, our defense all regular season, and in the Phoenix / Denver series have basically figured out most of the looks that everyone has given us offensively. It’s crazy for me to think that we can’t figure out Dallas lob game, despite us being a very HUGE team. Props to Dallas for making an insane trade deadline.
-
Luka and Kai have birds eye view, the control of time and space are 2 levels far for here. If you double they pass, if you Iso they cook, if you clog they alley. Basketball masterpiece.
-
The efficiency of lobs n’ dunks Mavs had w/Wolves 3 big men n’ McDaniels on the rooster is crazy. Luka n’ Kyrie elevates this Mavs team to a whole new level entirely
-
The Edward’s turn overs in the 4th were massive, all 3 ended in 3s for the mavs
-
Incredible that Kidd is thoroughly outcoaching someone.
-
lively was the biggest steal of the draft last year
-
Luka’s lookoffs are very elite man. It really keeps the defense guessing.
-
I didn't notice how insanely luka faked out KAT until you pointed it out, amazing stuff to watch
-
The sheer panic in Gobert's eyes as he realises Luka is stepping back in to the 3. The tiny wiggle of the hand. Luka probably hunts him in his nightmares.
-
Luka is goat material, period.
-
Ben Taylor with his big baritone voice and slow motion graphics with analytics. This is why we live in North Korea.
-
"usually if Kyrie thinks He's fouled. It's a foul." W Irving
-
"When the game is on the line, the basket must look enormous to Luka Doncic." goes so hard
-
These Mavs are tough, Kyrie, Luka and the NBA's best Center when you combine all the numbers of Lively and Gafford, plus they never get tired and never foul trouble. Lively is inspirational, fighting them for every inch like hes been in the league 5 years !!!
-
Guess you couldn't avoid a Mavs video any longer.
-
So does Luka impact winning or what?
