How Luka Doncic & Kyrie Irving Stack Up to Other Elite Duos & More Dallas Mavericks Stats

23 comments

1. What do the Mavs need to do for their offense to be elite?

2. Isaac hit a point I wish Nick followed up on. They shoot to many dumb 3s in the clutch.

3. I'd just like to see consistency in effort and focus. They already have the talent.

4. What if there was no 3 point line no more?

5. No player on the Mavs has a Go To Move for the end of games or when the team needs baskets.
   their Defense this season is a 4-1 shell. (which is crap and no center in NBA history could make work on defense, even David Robinson or Hakeem would fail with a 4-1 Shell) 1 guy there for the rebound vs 3 opponents that are crashing the boards. Cause doncic and Irving are their best rebounders but they sure as hell don't get back in there to rise up and grab the rebounds. They only get the rebounds that bounce right to them. As a team they only get the rebounds the fall right to them. That tells me they're not good at basketball. They rely 100% only on lucky 3's to barely win or barely lose which is a 30% so any game that is somewhat close they WILL Lose sure as hell 666% of their games cause they're 34% on threes.

6. Let's stop beating around the bush, Luka is hurting the team right now.
   If he's injured then they should rest him , if he's not injured then it's on him AGAIN to get his conditioning right

7. PJ, Naji, Hardy, Dinwiddie shooting under 20% from deep this season. It´s not their fault. Blame Luka for that also like everything else. Why is he passing them ball if they can´t shoot?

8. Doncic is basically a soft Magic Johnson that refuses to Use his Talent of Passing and instead Chuck Threes and play like Camelo Anthony every game. Sad to say but Doncic has become a BALL HOG.

9. Satou Sabally to the FEVER! As much as I like and support the Mavs, the Fever are the team to watch in the WNBA and I dont really care about the Wings at all. Sabally would fit perfectly at the 4 and could be the missing piece to a championship run in Indiana. You can have Nalyssa Smith as a comparison. She can play the 4 for you guys.

10. Man… I see Isaac..n I close it

11. Seems nobody here remember what Luka Doncic did for this team… No respect for him.
    He played bad (but better than a lot of other mavs) for sure and he is injuried… So is the problem that our superstar play trought injuries? Do you prefer Zion, Embiid, Kawhi or other always out superstars?

12. Luka hit pull up dribble 3 last season at a unreal level even Steph had to be impressed to expect him to do the same is crazy… all im asking is don't force it like we don't need a half court shot everytime in the clutch… because its really great when you hit it but when you miss its very very bad

13. I have a theory that making the Finals woke up a lot of 50 year old Dallas oldheads that haven’t watched basketball since Dirk’s ring and were not here for the ups and downs of the Luka era so far and that’s why you’re seeing all these weird takes about how he’s a bad player that doesn’t add anything to the team or is soft and needs to be traded because they haven’t ever seriously sat down and watched him outside of this bad one month stretch where he’s been dealing with nagging injuries and adjusting to a slightly different role in the offense.

14. D-Lego! Is all in…
    Indeed ❤ for Isaac one more thing 👑🦝✌🏼

15. Luka and kyrie gotten so better together you don’t even realize ppl said it might not work they just fit

16. The truth about sports betting ^

17. The Christmas Ham needs to get fit. End of story.

18. Honestly at the moment, they are probably accurately placed lower based on their overall production but I remember them having 130 offensive rating same as Jokic and Murray and they were number one duo in the clutch and overall last year, so morale of the story Once Fully Healthy and Firing Kyrie and Luka are the scariest combo HANDS DOWN!!!!! Last game we have an efficient night from all 3 stars an BOOM we blow the Pelicans off the water for 41 pont win!!!!!! I told yall it will take time but once they start gelling it's gonna be tough to overcome this team even for Boston just watch!!!!💪💪💪💙💙💙💙

19. I wish you guys would stop acting like the Mavericks are the only team that play bad teams. They are 7th on defense for a reason just like the other good teams are where they’re at. The Warriors were literally beating up on bad teams to start the season 🤷‍♂️

20. I’m disappointed in you guys. If you look closely, the games that the Mavs had bad defensive numbers vs the good teams they didn’t have Lively or both he and Pj. Can’t have great defense when your two best defenders are not in the game.

21. Off/Def rating along with all metrics are accountability metrics at the beginning of a season. Yes poor play against good teams can make it misleading, but the Mavs have had great games against great teams barely losing a few, and inflicting damage on the Off/Def ratings of those teams as well as taking some. If the Mavs are top 5 Off/Def all year they will be near the top of the league. That is meaningful.

22. Let’s go Wings!!!!!!!!

23. Thanks for the shoutout Issac Harris. But I was actually a member of the raccoon squad before a LEGO YouTuber, going back to Luka’s rookie year. So I wasn’t with you guys during the dark days, but I’ve been listening since Dirk’s final year. Also Issac, LEGOLand in the Grapevine mills mall has a statue of Dirk built out of LEGOs, you should totally take your kiddo at some point.
