RE: HALLELUKA: All Things Doncic - michaeltex - 11-06-2019 That's some rarified air Luka's breathing on those charts. RE: HALLELUKA: All Things Doncic - SportPsychMav - 11-07-2019 Tim Cato (@tim_cato) Tweeted: Rick Carlisle used to be very careful about heaping too much praise or too high of expectations onto Luka Doncic. That’s ... changed. From his presser today: “he’s one of the best players on the planet, so nothing he does surprises me.” https://twitter.com/tim_cato/status/1192231376092848129?s=17 RE: HALLELUKA: All Things Doncic - Thukydides - 11-07-2019 (11-06-2019, 03:05 PM)Kammrath Wrote: Aron freaking baynes.

Interesting data that someone somewhere is already debunking. It nailed Isaac at number 8. Thing is Wesley Matthews is above Bradley Beal and that is a hard sell. RE: HALLELUKA: All Things Doncic - Mavsfan12 - 11-07-2019 I know that this is the Luka thread, but how nicely would Malcolm Brogdon have looked in a Mavs Jersey. Can't believe we didn't end up with him this offseason. We ended up with quantity over quality. Don't get me wrong, I like Curry/Wright, but THAT dude would have been a true #3 and is like the sum of those guys' skillsets in one player... PLUS passing. Mavs missed out on that one, imo.

What people forget is that Indiana traded for him. Mavs had no comparable assets.

RE: HALLELUKA: All Things Doncic - ClutchDirk - 11-08-2019 https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28021786/ten-nba-things-like-including-luka-doncic-trickery 3. Luka Doncic, faking you out of your shoes Hypothesis: Doncic has the nastiest, most convincing up-and-under move on Earth. Oh, Hassan. Most players go into an up-and-under having made up their mind to shoot. They have no Plan B. Doncic digests so much visual information in real time -- and is so smart anticipating where every player is about to be -- he can pivot (literally) into Plans B, C or D: Numbers alone tell you Doncic is off to a crazy start: 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists per game on 47% shooting, including a scorching 58% on 2s. He has almost excised long 2s in favor of shots at the rim and 3s. The eye test tells you even more. Doncic is thinking two steps ahead of everyone. His trademark pass as a rookie was probably the LeBron-style crosscourt laser to corner shooters. Already this season, he has shown mastery of other tricky dishes that reveal themselves -- only for a flash, and only to the very best passers -- in the run of play. He is putting exactly the right touch, speed, and height on lobs to Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber: That is a really hard pass -- the straight-on, long-distance lob. The timing is just a little bit different than is typical. Genius lives in those differences. Doncic picks up his dribble abruptly, before Avery Bradley is ready for it, and releases the ball almost while leaning backward. A lot of his lobs are like this. They come a beat earlier or later than you would expect. Doncic might already be the league's best lob passer. He has great chemistry with Powell and Kleber. His partnership with Kristaps Porzingis is a work in progress. Opponents have outscored the Mavericks by 4.5 points per 100 possessions with both stars on the floor. Meanwhile, the Mavs are plus-28 in the 67 minutes Doncic has played without Porzingis -- and a monster plus-25 in 44 minutes with both out. Porzingis spends a lot time spotting up around the Doncic/Powell and Doncic/Kleber two-man games; Doncic and Porzingis have partnered for only about 19 pick-and-rolls per 100 possessions, compared to 40 for Powell and 31 for Kleber. That spot-up role is valuable. Rick Carlisle has other sets to spring Porzingis. Doncic and Porzingis have complementary skill sets; they will discover their sweet spots, though to make this thing sing, Porzingis has to get better abusing smaller defenders when opponents switch the Doncic-Porzingis pick-and-roll. Fadeaways aren't cutting it. He's not Dirk. RE: HALLELUKA: All Things Doncic - SportPsychMav - 11-08-2019 Zach Lowe on his latest pod: "Doncic is already the best lob passer in the whole league... the touch, the accuracy and timing... Doncic has now ascended. This version of Doncic is an MVP candidate...if this is what he is now, then they have an MVP candidate on their team every year." RE: HALLELUKA: All Things Doncic - ClutchDirk - 11-08-2019 https://twitter.com/SInow/status/1192883233786138624 RE: HALLELUKA: All Things Doncic - Thukydides - 11-08-2019 Wow so much Luka stuff. Thanks y´all. Here is another find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXm9Lav70QE RE: HALLELUKA: All Things Doncic - jesusshuttlesworth82 - 11-08-2019 Indians traded for Brogdon once he agreed to a 4/$85 offer to ensure Milwaukee didn’t match. If we offer him a bigger deal, he signs an offer sheet with us. I’m tired of the narrative that we needed to trade a first round pick for him. RE: HALLELUKA: All Things Doncic - SportPsychMav - 11-09-2019 Luka was like supe MAD, playing hurt against strong defense who wer stealing his passing lanes with reffing going against the mavs. Every game we have lost so far the opponent was roughing us up. Dallas lacks physicality RE: HALLELUKA: All Things Doncic - Lucky Luciano - 11-09-2019 (11-09-2019, 06:07 AM)SportPsychMav Wrote: Luka was like supe MAD, playing hurt against strong defense who wer stealing his passing lanes with reffing going against the mavs. I agree. We definitely use some more edge on our team. I think our toughest guy is probably Delon or Dodo.
