Game 80: Los Angeles Lakers (48-31) vs. Dallas Mavericks (38-41)

[Deebo]

I’m trading lively. He sucks on d. Don’t need both him and gafford. Pick one. Trade the other.

LUKA CAN DO NO WRONG

[FireNicoHarrison]

Luka >>>> Dallas Mavericks

[Deebo]

Davis is useless. Easy to defend with double team. What a stupid trade

[SleepingHero]

Notice how easy it's been for the Lakers to shut down AD

Cause we have no pg. they can’t even pass itv

[SleepingHero]

LUKA IS INSANE

Incorrect. Lakers are sending 3 to the post. Doubling AD on the catch. They are putting all the resources into stopping the paint. 

Same D they ran on Jokic that worked. If the Mavs could hit a 3 then they couldn't do this. OR if they ran a PnR.

Sure a PG would help, but its not because they can't pass.

[SleepingHero]

Luka about to hit 30 points in 16 minutes. AD has 2 points

[Chicagojk]

Ad offense is painful to watch. Guards dribbling with no penetration for an e try pass. Everyone standing. Ugly. We don’t the guards but you need guards who can break people down and the ball needs to move.

[Chicagojk]

There you go Marshall. Get into the lane. Finish, dish to a big or kick out to corner for open three. Dallas just lacks shooters and creators. LOL

[Chicagojk]

Martin isn’t bad. Can be a good role player on a good team. He just needs to be surrounded by better scorers.

[FireNicoHarrison]

Embarassing

[Chicagojk]

So done with Dinwiddie

[HoosierDaddyKid]

PJ has been horrible.

Luka returns !

Marshall is they're best player to this point. He's getting it done.

[FireNicoHarrison]

It's not even about win or lose the game, Doncic is at least 1 tiers above Davis. Probably 2.

It's painful to watch. I don't think Harrison can survive to this game.

[donzingis38]

Imagine having someone like Luka on your team

[Deebo]

Giving up too many layups. Horrible d

[SleepingHero]

Honestly just a gorgeous half of basketball from Luka.

Couldn't have played it better. I am elated that the fans are not letting me down and are letting Luka hear how much he still means to Dallas.

Mavs on the other hand have to start finding the corners if they want to break the Lakers famed triple the post D that worked on Jokic. Klay, PJ, and Naji have been open when the low man shades. Up to our creators to actually make the pass.

If they can't, the AD is essentially shut out of the game offensively because he cannot create off the dribble.

[Jakeospikez]

Should be yelling Sell the Team instead of Fire Nico. This kinda trade might even be above the owners tho tbh but whatever. Good to see Luka show out in this game.
