Game 59 Now A Game Thread: Mavs(31-27) at Lakers(34-21), 9:00 PM Central Time

[LukaMVP]

Kyrie been doing utmost to keep the team afloat.

[SleepingHero]

CHRISTIE HUGE!

[KillerLeft]

I'm embarassed as Mavs fans, all NBA laughs at us.

They destroyed the franchise in 1 night and for own business.

Silver should have put a veto on this trade, it's no more sport.

Oh, I didn't realize you were a Mavs fan, sorry. Are you sure that's what you are? Kinda seems like you're a Luka-only fan, but if I'm wrong I apologize.

[SleepingHero]

insane defensive effort to end the quarter. Christie, Kyrie, Naji deserve some props.

[FireNicoHarrison]

Finally Max.

However Lakers are a really bad team right now despite all the talent.

[SirMyztiq]

Not a bad end to the half. Again, missing key pieces and we are making life really difficult defensively.

[SleepingHero]

I miss me some DFS.

It hasn't even registered to me that DFS, THE DOE DOE, is also a Laker now with Luka.

Literally ripped the hearts and souls of our franchise for the last 5 years are Lakers.

be a Laker fan or a luka only fan bro you'd feel much happier than being a pseudo mavs fan tbh.

Apologies accepted my friend. No problem.

From LukaMVP... Ok.

[SleepingHero]

So far its been nice that the Mavs have stayed somewhat connected and Luka has also had a great game.

This shit hurts to watch, yet its also still so much fun to watch Luka.

[SwisherPrice]

Max Christie was a miracle! I think he could be viewed as one of the franchise saviors in 3 years. Different positions but as a young player and his approach to the game, he reminds me of Brunson early on with the Mavs and it wouldn't surprise me to see him take a huge leap in the upcoming years

[SleepingHero]

From LukaMVP... Ok.

To be fair he did ask me to change his name, which I can do, but he never gave me what he wanted to change it to.

[KillerLeft]

From LukaMVP... Ok.

No disrespect my guy, it's just that it seems like your goal is make all of US pay for this trade, which is odd since none of US had anything to do with it. If your goal is to make everyone miserable, or to make everyone dislike you...good job? Just not sure why that would appeal to you. 

Just follow him to his new team if you feel that strongly. Wouldn't you prefer to be happy?

[LukaMVP]

Christie hit two threes in a row to keep the game close. when luka gets tired in the second half maybe our chance will come. we're playing fairly bad in the first half yet we're down only by single digits. if we play better in the second half, try not to miss so many layup and open threes, it's still a winnable game tbh.

[Scott41theMavs]

If that first half accomplished anything, it's to make me even more boiling mad about the trade - if he had to give them Luka, it was a gigantic fail not to bilk them out of Reeves, Knecht, and the 31. That's even worse than the binary issue of "you traded Luka."

If he had done the damned trade right, Mavs fans would have recovered a lot quicker with that future ahead.

Phenomenally on-the-money post.

still waiting for our next future franchise player, maybe the one we're gonna pick in summer. hope we can somehow win the lottery so you can help me change my screen name to flaggmvp or flaggoat, and that's worth missing the playoffs tbh.

PowellMVP has a nice ring to it, and obviously he'll still be playing here in 10 years, lol.

[SleepingHero]

Suns Grizzlies just had a crazy game in OT 148-151 with KD missing the potential 3 to tie it. Big loss for them.
