    Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks are the NBA’s wildcard contender. The Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving tandem is in full swing and after a regular season full of uncertainties and roster changes, the Mavs are definitely looking like NBA championship contenders towards the end stretch. The Western Conference has been very tough but the Dallas Mavericks have made their moves during the tradeline by acquiring big man Daniel Gafford and versatile forward PJ Washington and now, the Mavs have a formidable line-up that can match any team in the NBA playoffs. Luka Doncic is a legitimate MVP contender, Kyrie Irving has been amazing, Dereck Lively has been an amazing rookie, while offseason finds Derrick Jones Jr. and Dante Exum have been great for the Mavs.
    But the question here is, can Coach Jason Kidd find the right rotations in the playoffs for the Mavs to beat teams such as Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the OKC Thunder, Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves, or Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns? Luka Doncic has been averaging career-highs across the board, while the Kyrie Irving game-winner comes just at the right time. But who will step up for the Dallas Mavericks in the postseason and why are they the biggest wildcard contenders in the NBA?

      Not worried about the Clippers. I like that match up. They are certified chokers and it took them 7 games to beat Luka before. I know how healthy Kawhi is scary in the playoffs but with this roster especially with Kyrie, I don't think they can beat them in a 7 game series.

    We actually lost those 5 games after the trade deadline because Kidd started using an experimental defensive scheme with the 5th guy on defense always double teamming. Off course this was horrible and led to a historically bad defense for those 5 games until we stopped using it after the first quarter in the heat game.
    He also played Gafford only like 10 minutes per game in that stretch and after the Heat game he has been starting him like he should. Since then we have won 7 out of 8 games and the only one we lost was the one Luka was out vs the Thunder. Even in that game we kept it close without Luka and Green is still out who is our 3rd best shooter.

    Luka is 1st in scoring not second. Embiid hasn’t played enough to count in a long time and won’t be eligible.
    Mavs need minutes together, Luka kept this team afloat before the health started getting better and of course the trades. Now it’s all about chemistry which looks pretty good with the limited time they’ve had. Kidd fixed his issue from two weeks ago and things are looking up.

    Bro, Kleber is trash as a stretch 5, he's a backup 4 at best, that's why we had that stretch where we lost 5 of our 6 games when Kidd benched and limited Gafford at sticked to his stupid smallball lineup. He kinda realized it when the fans are just angry on why we traded for PJ and Big Dan if he's still going to use that BS lineup before the deadline, now were 9-1 when Gafford starts

    LUKA is the REAL NBA 2023/2024 MVP. SIMPLE. BEST NBA BASKETBALL SHOWTIME MAKER. PEOPLE PAID BIG MONEY JUST TO SEE HIM AND GET LUKA SIGNATURE AND ATTENTION. LUKA IS COMPARE WITH BEST NBA LEGENDS. HE MADE SO MANY NBA RECORDS AT AGE 25!!!! IF THE NBA REFEREES WERE FAIR TO THE LUKA, HE WOULD HAVE AT LEAST 6 TO 7 POINTS MORE IN HIS STATISTIC ON AVERAGE AND 5-8 MORE WINS THIS SEASON. HOW MANY NFL, NHL STARS WANTS LUKA ATTENTION AND RESPECT TO ALL. HE IS PURE MAGIC & difference MAKER. & KY IS THE SAME. MAVS AFTER TRADE LINE ARE GETTING BETTER FROM GAME TO GAME. EVERY NBA TEAM IS NOW SCARED OF THEM. HOW MANY WINS HAVE GRANT WILLIAMS AFTER TRADE AND HOW MANY GAF & PJW? BIG THX
    CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE WHAT WILL BE IF LUKA WOULD PLAY FOR USA TEAM!!!! JUST IMAGINE. RESPECT TO ALL.
