Well, it turns out Luka was just our Wonder Boy. And Dirk is still the Mavs' GOAT.
And I'm ok with that.
Still hurts to lose Luka. I'll admit to getting a chuckle out of seeing Kyrie get doubled while Exum dribbled the ball off his foot in the last seconds of the Sixers game.
I tuned in against Boston with perverse interest in seeing the Mavs get blown out.
Strange thing happened though.
Klay got hot. And damn, even though he's not a homegrown Mavs, that was pretty awesome to see. Ball popped too.
And that Christie kid. Only 21. He's got something. Mavs still have Lively too. Only 20. New young core? Younger than Luka actually.
And then the press conference. That's Anthony Davis up there.
I like defense. I like ball movement, player movement. Toughness, athleticism, 2-way players. This team won't live or die by the 3.
Still sucks to lose Luka. But that Lakers jeresy I ordered? I'm giving it to my son.

I'm with you.
No ofense on this my friend, but i really don't like how Luka looks wearing yellow and i'm not talking about team. Ugly jersey in my opinion.
