I wonder if Kyrie plays tomorrow. Miami had a rough one tonight giving up a huge lead against OKC.

Winnable game but Kyrie has played 40 minutes so many times lately.

Heck of a win, I just can't root against us…even if tanking might be the better option. Just love Kai

Last game before the ASB, he has to. Every game matters at this point.

I just can't root for tanking especially when I know this team, when healthy, is capable of a playoff run.

I know... I found myself wanting a win during the game. Even with only PJ, Exum, and Martin back, the team is probably just good enough to make the play in. If Gafford can come back in 2 weeks then they are definitely in.

We just have no idea on the severity of AD's injury and if it's better for him to have surgery. No idea on Gafford. We really don't know much about Martin's injury. There isn't any point in going for the play in if Kyrie may have a back injury. It's just such a weird spot right now.

This group of guys is really fun to root for though. Naji, PJ, and Christie are all so fun. Klay is having a good time out there. Obviously Kyrie is a freaking hero.

Again with the unfunny memes. Grimes was going to walk this offseason for nothing and make more than Martin makes. It was a prudent move. Martin also turned 29 in September.

Twitter is so dumb. Philly also lost to a terrible team and Grimes was minus 3. Y'all are going to hang on every individual performance or every single Luka pass and post them here. Meanwhile you have no idea the actual basketball context of anything.

They're in such a weird spot right now. Two weeks ago they had the best roster in Mavs history and were defending conference champs. Led by a top 3 player in the league who is 25 with a team that they spent two years building around. With an entire city in love with the whole thing. Now we're waiting to see if oft-injured 32 year old AD needs season ending surgery to figure out if the season/future is ruined.

Such a weird spot, it's so weird. Awesome win tonight though! #MFFL

Shack or his buddy is gonna chime in and tell us why we're wrong and Caleb Martin is the secret missing key the way AD is now injury free and wayyyyy better for the Mavs than Luka.

Mavs just pulled out a great win, drastically undermanned and we got the usual suspects posting Luka highlights in a loss that he was -19 and Grimes stat lines in a loss that he was -5. Such a beating.

It's called roster building. Martin is making very reasonable money for the next 4 years. Grimes was going to walk for nothing in the offseason.

Also Christie is just better than Grimes. Grimes would not have been in the Mavs closing lineup tonight.

I'll be sure to keep track of Luka's +/- vs AD + 2029 pick over the next decade to judge the trade from a purely analytical standpoint so my comments are accepted by the very serious stat bros. Will bet literally any amount on the Luka side with anyone pretending trading Luka away wasn't the most massive **** up of all time

You're missing the point of my post. No one is happy about the trade. I think you're drastically underselling Christie though. At the end of the day, the only thing that will matters is championships. If the Mavs don't win one in the next few years it's a failure. With the way the Lakers roster is currently structured I don't see how they even win a playoff series anytime soon. We'll see.

Logic coming from the dudes attempting to rationalize the AD-Luka deal is laughable.

Solid rebuttal. Just go back to twitter where you will be praised for being an emotional woman. Here, you are going to get called out for not knowing anything.

You said this: "I ordered a Luka #77 Lakers shirt yesterday. Those of you that continue to support this franchise are supporting everything wrong with the sport."

It was actually you who implied you weren't a fan anymore. I just took your word for it. But that's what I get for trusting the words of a raving lunatic I guess.

Almost embarrassing as getting trashed by the 12-40 Jazz.
2 of the Jazz wins are against Luka. That's the Luka experience.
I'm a Rockets fan, but I hate what happened to you guys. It really sucks. Houston-Dallas rivalry aside, you never want to see a team be ruined by front-office stupidity. It is heartening to know that Houston isn't the only town with "fans' who revel in the team's failures. Here's hoping Luka and LeBron hate each other and crumble, while the Mavs keep surprising people.

Get out your tinfoil hats because this 2023 article reads a little differently today:

Quote:
"I've been a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant in particular since I was young," Matan said in a press release after the sale. "For me, Kobe embodied grit, an unmatched work ethic, and incredible determination. Growing up, I took a lot of inspiration from him, watching him strive to be the best version of himself, and through my leadership, I hope to manifest this mentality in this club for now and for years to come."

…

The Adelsons had a family suite at Staples Center in Los Angeles while Matan was growing up which they used frequently to watch Lakers games, the source said.


https://t.co/qtcE7kqwcG

Is the answer to this trade really as simple as "The Adelsons are actually Lakers fans and don't care about what happens to the Mavs at all basketball-wise; they just want to build a casino in Dallas?" I know the second part is well-established already, but surely they wouldn't be so bold as to deliberately try to help the Lakers at the Mavs' expense…would they?
