Knicks have 24 second chance pts. That's a killer. 15 offensive rebounds. They're getting crushed on the boards.
GAME 35: NYK (18-17) @ DAL (19-16) | 126-121 win

I think he's one of the most physical superstars in the league, and he's taken hella shots in this game many of which have gone uncalled. The whining is annoying, but it's got nothing to do with his physicality. Wood's weakside shot blocking is super underrated. Also the rebounding is probably going to lose us this game.

That's game...nothing the Mavs can do with Bullock and THJ missing so many threes

Someone explain the logic of playing Luka the entire 2nd half repeatedly while also sitting him on winnable back-to-back games
In game fatigue worries me more than game-to-game fatigue injurywise

I’m not saying he doesn’t play with physicality, I’m obviously saying it’s soft as Charmin for him to lay on the ground for five minutes when he thinks he deserves a call.

Yeah re-reading, misread your comment as saying doesn't play with physicality. Agree with that.

That is disappointing. Mavs were short handed, but so were Knicks. Knicks were hungrier a free losing 3 in a row.
Am afraid this Mavs team doesn’t have it this year. They will win with a healthy Luka, but more of a step forward, step back. 46ish wins and early playoff exit.

Can't believe this may be the Knicks 6th straight win in Dallas.

Not a fan of the heavy minutes. Sort of gets me worried that a panic trade could be in the cards, just to save face. The absolute worst thing to do this year imo.

I would never suggest that Luka doesn’t play physically. If anything, his game thrives on contact. But, I think the next level for him is to realize that there are people who are going to push him around more than he expects to try to take him out of his game, and the whistles arent always going to be there. I really think he has to learn to play through that, and not just because it’s annoying. He’s constantly compounding the issue by not even paying attention on the next couple of defensive possessions. (12-27-2022, 10:42 PM)Chicagojk Wrote: Good point. Not a fan of the heavy minutes.

Just have to hope it’s a good one, somehow.

Lol…good guess Luka that Hardaway was going to miss
12-27-2022, 10:45 PM
Another 50 burger for Luka.

They are literally the only team in the league Randle plays this well against consistently. Maybe it’s being in front of his friends and family, maybe it’s him being pissed that they didn’t want him, maybe both, I don’t know. All I know is when I watch the Knicks play other teams he looks like an absolute scrub.

Luka pump fakes to draw a foul on the 3 point line.
update: nope

He enjoys himself on the court like a little kid, but also throws tantrums like a little kid too. The former is obviously endearing, the latter not so much. Just like an actual kid. I kinda do wonder if he'll grow out of it, but it kinda just seems like a major part of his personality.

Why is Wood out on an offensive possession?

Maybe he’s just laying down on the floor because his back hurts from carrying a trash roster that a trash owner (not pretending anyone else is the GM) put together…as usual.

They played Kemba 42 minutes at Cleveland and his body has paid the price already
