Wood on pace to play almost 30 (!!!) minutes.

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

At one play, Luka seems to be upset with Mcgee,  and Wood was seen hurriedly wanting to check-in. What was that all about?

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

Luka was good on D, so was Kleber.
Wood was better than McGee on D.
SD was attacking the lane.

The rest of the guys are coasting.

Shaq dropped some truth bombs about McGee´s defense.

Big Picture Observation:

This team has officially grown up. They have played terrible D to this point, but there is a confidence and maturity to them that I haven't seen since the prime Dirk years. They just keep playing and believe they will win.

Yes to this. I can’t remember the last time everything looked so easy for us. Especially offensively. This will be a fun year

Nice seeing Wood on pace for more minutes. Still over the McGee experiment.

[Kammrath]

Shout out to Luka starting the season 18-20 (90%) from the free throw line!!!

[dirkfansince1998]

Feels like the main difference is Luka being even better than last year. He looks absolutely unstoppable and no matter how bad the team is playing he is at least keeping it close.

[Smitty]

Shout out to Luka starting the season 18-20 (90%) from the free throw line!!!

He’s officially the best player in the NBA. The defensive effort is there now and the free throw improvement seals the deal. MVP

[Mavs2021]

Shout out to Luka starting the season 18-20 (90%) from the free throw line!!!

Also 26-39 (67%) from 2pt range. He´s literally unstoppable in 2pt territory. If we ever get him a #2 that will keep him fresh during games, so he doesn´t have to take so many dumb fatigue threes, we can´t be stopped.

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

Luka isn't fat this season.
If he gets muscles instead then I don't know what the league can do.

For the moment, the rest of the NBA is hoping Luka doesn't develop his 3-game and hoist 2-10 each game. That's their only win.

[Mavs2021]

Challenge the foul. LOL. Now I´ll be really upset that we are losing to a team that is coached by a blind person.

[Kammrath]

Luka isn't fat this season.
If he gets muscles instead then I don't know what the league can do.

The crazy thing is that he is in light years better shape than the last couple seasons to start. And yet he is nowhere near being in tip top physical shape. If he takes his diet and conditioning to even half of Lebron's level, then Luka will have a chance to be the GOAT when all is said and done.

[dirkfansince1998]

Alvarado is giving me some real JJB vibes. But with better defense.

[Mavs2021]

LOL what a call. Absolutely ridiculous, cause Marshall didn´t jump forward? Clear case of going straight up. 

[dirkfansince1998]

Need Wood as the short roll/high post guy if they start to double or trap Luka.

[Kammrath]

The Maxi only lineups are going to kill this team until Kidd lets go.

[Mavs2021]

Kleber and Bullock have been fucking awful. Does Bullock have to play himself into shape/rhythm or can we just tell him to come back in January?
