Great performance from the 3 for Luka again, shooting well from 3 to start the season this time. Another triple double. MVP season hopefully. 3-0 start for the Mavs. Looks really in shape this season. Let’s go MFFL.

Luka is focused on the chip

[–] LoveMavs1031@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Luka hitting his three point shots should be illegal. Actually unguardable at that point

[–] Cul_what@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Finished all over em, mmmm

[–] jacobpltn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Luka looking like his 2K sim out there this season

[–] desirox@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This man is on a MVP mission. Totally locked in

[–] captainaweeesome@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Man Luka has been insane to start the year. Less complaining, trying on defense, owning up to his fouls, and just overall happy. I hope he can keep this up the whole season because if he does .. MVP.

[–] glacierfanclub@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That’s the thing for me — he’s always smiling! Is it ok to be excited?

[–] QUEST50012@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This league does not want any part of fully focused and in-shape Luka. Perhaps the most trepidation for a developing player since the prayers of "Please don't give Lebron a jumpshot!"

Tillman is a terroist I literally hit every play except him on 0.5 3

[–] tooeasyforkevin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wish he'd finish me

[–] riwaj7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

double teamed entire 2nd half btw. What a start for mavs and doncic

[–] Breasts_Enjoyer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

and 0 ref complaints. mvp

[–] Mechaultima@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Stat padded at the end

[–] DL-77@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bro Smart was flopping like he was getting rocked by Francis Ngannou every time he got close to Luka

MVP szn incoming

[–] Legitimate-Group-393@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He was getting doubled all game by the last two DPOY winners too lmao.

[–] Complexity777@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It worked a few times, they forced a few turnovers. Kyrie wasn’t playing and Lively fouled out so they probably figured they can just focus Luka but that let Derrick Jones jr pop off

[–] Baguy21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well him and Steph currently competing for that MVP

We are here for THJ propaganda

HIMTOHY IS BACK

[–] honestnbafan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Luka going to have a 2019 Harden 36 PPG type season this year I think

I don't see any reason for the numbers to come down that much because Luka having this high a usage is legitimately the Mavs' best chance to win and not just an anomaly

No reason for him to defer so they can get some Grant Williams ISOs in or some shit

[–] 3ThrowMerchant@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Him and Curry are on a different level man

We have entered the Luka era

[–] Prize_Ad8999@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Kenyon Martin and real hoopers know who the best player on Mavs is though

[–] StevenComedy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Enter the Luka

[–] KarrotMovies@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the Mavs are a top 3 seed, Luka getting that MVP

[–] full-auto-rpg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’m a JT for mvp guy but man, he, Luka, Jokic, and Curry are out on a warpath to start the season. The one thing that gives me nerves about the Mavs is they haven’t faced the toughest teams and have needed Luka heroics but fuck it he’s delivered. The NBA is more fun when so many players are so good.

[–] Jonesalot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He heard what people said about him when Mavs didn’t get into the playoff

[–] myredditaccount991@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Luka Doncic is everybody's father.

[–] fitzy50000@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just give Luka the MVP already

[–] WatchMeRayRay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The crazy thing is that he started cold, going 2-7 and still ended up with those stats.

[–] jimmylowcard@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Imagine is the FO gave luka real team mates and not the corpse of Kyrie and trash. Luka is too good to be put up with this

[–] xPeaWhyTee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The difference I saw with Luka tonight is that he seemed to learn how to pace himself throughout the game. He went basically an entire quarter without shooting and was just content with facilitating. That might be a testament to him having more trust in his teammates but it was a wonderful thing to see him being able to rest on the court and then explode with offensive bursts and good defense.

[–] KangorKodos@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Please Luka and Steph save me from Jokic Embiid MVP conflicts

[–] Nantee_69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

why is luka not complaining to refs anymore? miss those days.

[–] Panik_Switch@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Luka “Luka Broncic” Doncic for MVP

[–] Flabbypuff@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is probably the best version of Luka we've seen yet.

[–] Downtown_Soft_202@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Don’t be fooled by streaky Luka. He hasn’t shown anything besides his lazy lucky stepback prayer threes going in.

[–] Messigoat3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I thought this was posted by the country of Serbia.

[–] AtreusIsBack@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Luka "Black Magic" Dončić

[–] hurlcarl@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

weird, I was told by a basketball expert that I, a novice, don't know what I'm seeing and that he's the 2nd best player on that team.
