So why play Luka 42 minutes?
Questionable? He plays.
Questionable Luka always goes off
Bout to go 50/12/12
Regardless if we get Questionable Luka, which is the greatest player of all time, we’d still be missing Lively and PJ who did a great job defending Jokic in our classic nationally televised game where Kyrie hit one of the greatest game winners ever. God injuries have lowkey been fucking us up
Half our team is injured!! Wooo!!!
Silly me, I forgot the first two-thirds of any Mavs season are just the basketball equivalent of the “This is fine” meme
It looks like we need kyrie to hit a game winner again
Do we low-key suck?
What’s wrong with maxi, how is maxi so injured all the time. However when he comes back he always looks pretty good as in not seeming to have lost a step.
Really hope this season doesn’t get lost to injuries.
omfg, what is with our team? kyrie needs to get the sage back out or something
“Ah shit, here we go again?”
Hold up…Questionable Luka is the Goat LFG!!
What the hell happened to Lively. Damn
Every year bro, gah
Questionable means starting under kidd
The sample size is super tiny given Kidd, for whatever reason, wouldn’t play Klay and Kyrie together without Luka until just the last few games, but in the 21 minutes that Kyrie and Klay have played together with Luka off the court, the Mavs are a +28.6 with a 128.6 ORTG and a 100 DRTG. Fortunately, and perhaps oddly enough, there are a couple of lineup iterations (again, tiny sample sizes so tons of noise but it’s all there is to go on so) that have been positive without either PJ or Lively so there could be a scenario where they somehow pull off functional basketball in the worst case scenario. A long shot? For sure. But, out of the realm of possibilities? Not entirely.
I worry that Lively is one of those big guys that we will just never be able to count on for a full season. Only played 55 games last year and now only took 5 games this year for him to get injured again.
