They're staying with it despite their mistakes. I actually like what I'm seeing.

Barely noticed it but somehow Jokic has 15pts/6reb/5ast. Feels like he hasn't even touched the ball.

All that body contact. The swipe on the wrist seems insignificant. How can that be a challenge?

Get 2 or 3 stops and the Mavs are right there going into the 3rd

Luka has not been great so far. I hate the no pass threes on most occasions. Although I guess I don’t mind them when they go in Smile

Is that Kyrie's first missed FT since being a Mav?

Luka has played some amazing defense, but those pouting moments stand out so much
6 turnovers for Luka sheesh

I am sorry...we all love Luka. He is one of the the best players in the league, but he is not playing winning ball so far. What was that? He scored (thought he was fouled) and when looking at the ref and walking the Nuggets get a dunk at the other end.

Those first 3 games were like crack for me. Dude looked changed. He's reverted.

Not lazy. He hasn’t learned how to close out on 3s yet. He’s done it a lot. He’ll learn.

Yeah, it’s time for something to be done. I hope Kidd is the man for the job, because Luka is really selling himself short.

Yep. That's one flaw in his game that seriously needs correction.
