With how Kyrie is playing a healthy Luke would be nice 🤔🥸
BRING BACK THE OLD INTRO !!!!
Basically 4 things imo:
1. Luka getting more rest to recover from all his injuries
2. Team needs to step up especially pj and klay
3. Kyrie leading the team. He isn’t able to lead a contender alone but it should be fine for a short period
4. Trolls shitting on Luka if the mavs somehow win every game
Another injury you never see that cost multiple games
If you dont believe u shouldnt be here
Seems destined to enter the playoffs as a dark seed.
Right on opportunities for a lot of players if the mavs are going deep into the playoffs they need the team ready to ball sharpen the 🔪
El ky and livley need to step up next level everyone else will follow
We need a DLLS and Locked on Mavs collab soon😏
Man this injury sucks. Going to my first ever Mavs game tomorrow and no Luka to see. Very disappointing! Hoping for the best!
Luka is falling apart at the young age of 25 with all these unknown leg “injuries”, and now a sprained wrist out of nowhere smh. His best years will soon be behind him.
How much is it for the rights to the old Let it Ride music? I’ll start a GoFundMe.
Most teams are dealing with injuries. A week is not that long.
I'm a little glad Luka will get rest. Looks like he needs it. Sorry to the "Luka needs to play every game" crowd.
Not to take it away from the Mavs, but they never give MPJ the ball in the 2nd half. For whatever reason. So his points are always in the 1st half. Otherwise he'd be a 30pt scorer tbh
They are a better team without him anyway
“Who needs to step up the most” Luka.
Luka gets hurt, when he starts to move and play defense 😂😂😂.
Nah bro this intro is great!!! Love your haters!
Kevin Gray is in the house!
I hate this guys saying that Kyrie is playing like an "ALL STAR LEVEL".
Like WTF??
Every day Nick! Thanks dude. Kevin is a nice collab. I like the way Kidd is getting people to step up even though it has cost a game, or four. This team is acting more next 🦝 up ish like 2011. Hardy! Where's the custodian?
Nick it's not that we don't like change, the new intro song is just worse objectively. If it's actually a good song to let it ride to no one would complain. On another note, tough to have Luka injured again then when he comes back he needs to find rhythm again and possibly out of shape with a few pounds added.
I quite like that big fella .
Soft spoken, clear, knowledgeable.
Klay and Spencer needs to step up
Don’t know what the old intro was but I like this intro..btw
Hot take Kai gonna go off while Luka out n make an MVP ballot for leadin n bein just soooo good lololol a guy can dream
Didn’t I say Luka should shit against pelicans? But yall in the comments wanted the point differential? Because it’s so important right? lol ok
Tbh…. they've been playing a little better without him. There is a lot more ball movement. It seems like players are getting a lot of touches
I really feel kyrie should step up most because it feels and looks better with him as the leader compared to Luka
jason kidd 😂
Grimes!!!
We’ll be ok
Kyrie is about to have the best stretch of games in his career
Give Spencer Dinwiddie continuity and the green light again.💯
Dude is such a smart and effective inside-out downhill versatile clutch player and the worst thing you can do to that kind of impactful player is freeze them out, 3 shots a game on 15 minutes a game; wrecked rhythm.
They have forgotten recent history and completely misusing Spencer. He would be one heck of a third wheel next to Kyrie if given continuity and the green light.
Don't trust Hardy, Spencer, Kleber.
Grimes and Naji been playing great and will like to see more development from them.
Klay will have the spotlight on him and so will Kyrie. Gotta give Klay his shot opportunities.
Our Centers will need to bring it every game for us to have a chance. They're our equalizers.
KEEP KEVIN GRAY ON THE SHOW OCCASIONALLY HE'S GOOD AT THIS
In before Mavs win the chip this year and the top comment is: “I wish we were letting it ride to the old intro” 😂
Guys, I like Mavs chances for this friday game. I think Grimes and Dinweddie will have a good game, alongside PJ and Klay. Obviously Kyrie. So I really like the Mavs chances to win.
Now I want a Rooster Booster
I kept saying it why is the mavs bringing back luka against the pelicans they had more than half the team out and they kept luka playing in the 4th quarter when they were up more than 20 sorry ass kidd
I smell an incoming 22-23 season.
West is too loaded for things like injuries to have too much impact.
It's good Dallas have an Elite Elite top 5 guard in the league when Luka's out, let's be thankful for what we've got Luka will hopefully have a speedy recovery, let's gooooo Maaavs, now is the time for the other Guys around Kai to step up, so far he has been playing at an MVP level, let's get these next couple of games!!!!! 💪💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Let Spencer play! now that Luka is out, Mavs needs another scorer besides Kai & Klay. Kidd just be letting him dribble the ball up and pass, let him get his rhythm back, his a scorer and is not afraid to take crucial shots.
Up 40 and he still in the game is STUPIDITY
The intro is growing on me though
Dallas could play better defensively without Luka lol. It could also help Klay and PJ to get into a better offensive rhythm along with Grimes. Kyrie needs to be a “leader” as the PG and veteran getting the role players involved.

À game to watch. ❤
