    I don't like that he acts like a punk when there is no need too.

    If tonight's game is Kyrie Irving and a terrible shooting night for Hardaway, then I'd say this game will favor the Blazers. The Mavs have a history of nobody stepping up if Luka can't go.

    tonights game will tell me a few things about scoots character

    he needs to play with poise, with will to redeem himself for the last game, thats what great players do (hes not a great player yet, but he strives to be one)

    If Luka is out the refs will award him 2 free throws.

    Yeah, me. Luka is the most pathetic whiner in the NBA. He whines to the refs on every single possession. Such a punchable face. He acts like he's the only guy in the league who ever gets touched, and every time someone touches him it should be a foul. The NBA is a physical game. Other players are getting bodied, grabbed, held, hacked, and slammed into all game long. But, oh no, don't breathe on precious Luka. And the refs reward his pathetic whining. Fuck that guy.

    What is with the NBA's garbage ass scheduling department? Why do we keep playing teams over and over close together? Were they just super lazy?

    Been doing this for a few years now because of COVID. Then realized it cut down on the teams travel. Which is good for our team since we travel the most in the league.

    How many losses does it lead to when you're so unlikely to beat the same team more than once?

    Luka, Lively and less importantly Grant Williams are all out for the Mavs tonight.

    We won't have Deandre obviously but will also be missing Moses and Jabari tonight. If Reath and Badji can't stay on the floor it won't matter that Luka is out because a bunch of guys on the Mavs will feast in the paint without any sort of rim protection at all.
