You can make a case that dinwiddie had a better game than him. Had 30 off the bench in less minutes and missed least amount of shots

[–] KarrotMovies@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Dinwiddle is an underrated playoff riser. He was big for Dallas during that run

[–] Solid-Confidence-966@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

His efficiency has dropped relative to his regular season during every postseason even with lowered counting stats lol

[–] toasty_-@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Spencer Dinwiddie murdered us, but Davis Bertans being productive hurt my heart.

It’s a travesty that we didn’t get to see Luka in the playoffs last year and i’ll be sad if we don’t get it this year either. Just way too good of a playoff performer to be sitting at home.

Shit like that is the biggest reason I gave up on Baseball.

I'm not saying Luka is a generational talent like Trout or Ohtani-- but seeing monsters of their respective sport being stuck with a shit record because of the rest of the roster/office is excruciating. You see them wasting their prime because the other pieces aren't in order.

Basketball can seem a little more forgiving at times. Maybe not in terms of rings, but we can still recognize individual talent a little more accurately in this space.

I'm not even a giant Luka fan, he whines way too much. But he's probably frustrated with his horrible franchise (rightfully so). It's a shame, his talent really does deserve a spot on a bigger stage.

(he's not that good)

Mavs fans ride this shit like Boston fans ride that 2008 ring.

[–] grantforthree@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I’d argue our 2008 team themselves ride it more than we do atp. We want a new ring lol

[–] archerarcher0@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah at this point when do Celtics fans every mention that ring, I think most are living in the now with this current group

[–] confuddly@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

really just Pierce and KG tbh, you never see Ray or Rondo really ride 2008 that much

[–] armandocalvinisius@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

OP is not mavs fan

[–] Jazzlike-Outcome9486@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It was just two years ago? Idk.

Luka's biggest accomplishment in the NBA is winning a 2nd round playoff series lmao

[–] shaheedmalik@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

More like the Luka Stans.

Anytime r/NBA isn't talking about Luka, they post this shit.

[–] NoiceForNoReason@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Is he the best player on his team tho……….

[–] BaileyHistory@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Luka stans living in the past cause he ain't ever gonna make the playoffs again 💀💀💀

[–] inshamblesx@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

even when he goes to denver to play with jokic?

[–] BaileyHistory@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Tbh not a great fit but joker could win with most anyone

[–] achyutthegoat@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He still clears Tatum

[–] Tragic-tragedy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Thank you for reminding us that Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father. Sometimes I wake up forgetting who Devin Booker father is (for some reason my mind thinks Melvin Booker), luckily reddit is here to remind me for the 200th time that Luka Doncic is indeed Devin Booker father.

[–] JerosBWI@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is just cruelty at this point.

Carry on.

[–] pokexchespin@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

how’d he do these past playoffs?

[–] shaheedmalik@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Swept Cancun in 4.

breaking news

[–] RVAIsTheGreatest@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Was an incredible performance but now it's time for the Mavs to create new memories.

[–] mercfan3@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Omg what an amazing game! He must have improved in the playoffs last year..right? Right?
