    Yall was hyping up Haliburton at the beginning of the season. He has no moves and needs screens. Also the way he shoots its difficult for him to pull up off the dribble with a defender on him. He not better than Luka,Kyrie, Brunson,Dame,Steph fox or Maxey

    People saying that Luka needs to stop shooting don't know ball. If the defense doesn't respect Luka's shot it will make things much tougher on the Mavs. Luka's not fast, he creates separation through strength and skill - but that doesn't work if Clips don't respect his shot. It will eliminate his drive and kick game if defenders can sag off of him, and outside of Luka and Kyrie, nobody on the Mavs can create for others. Usually Exum has been the 3rd creator but he has been borderline unplayable this series due to the combination of Clippers' length + his loose handle. That's why Luka was still +10 in game 4 despite shooting like dogshit - no creators without him. I'm not trying to make excuses for him, if he wasn't bricking everything the Mavs would have swept already. But he needs to take those shots, the Mavs offense hinges on it. He just needs to knock them down next time. If he does, Mavs will win this.

      Austin’s entire existence is a joke. You know you’re a garbage athlete when your dad is a professional NBA coach for 20+ years and can’t even turn you in to a starter 🤡

    Most of you seem to misunderstand how this team works. Luka hasnt been his self this series, some off games, sick. Today played good considering has a jacked knee. Kayrie has played good most of the series especially last game. Mavs support needs to show. There defense has been great their offeneae isnt them wait until both start going. Defense is hard work, but gets results every time even if you drain them you still win if they make a hard shot. Offense is all about rythem. I think the whole team played great tonight.

      How is Luka inefficent? Cuz of a couple off games where is 3 wasn't falling? How is it high usage? You understand Jalen Brunson and Embiid have higher usage rates right? Luka this post season has the same usage as Paolo Banchero and is only 1% higher than Shai and Donovan Mitchell. Define far, because that exact system with worse pieces got them to a conference final 2 years ago. You don't have a clue what you're talking about.
