The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[dtgold88]

Mobley seems to have the same issue AD has had for most of his career. He's a gifted offensive player who could be dominant on that end of the floor. But he's also an elite level defender and is happy to just take care of business defensively and let others handle the scoring.

Just going by what I remember (or think I remember) but seemed like AD wasn't shy on offense....he also went into a situation without as many decent weapons I would imagine, though.

 

[dtgold88]

Come on, Cavs.

You can’t let Jake Laravia give you the business.

Kid may never have a game like that again.

would have been no excuse to drop that one but I really don't like when we play teams like this......they are usually young, hungry kids who are trying to earn PT this year AND be noticed to make the roster next season.

 

[dtgold88]

I think you guys can take the Magic

we can take anyone (with healthy Mitchell)....or lose to anyone (with or without healthy Mitchell)

 

[dtgold88]

Not the way they are playing and Mitchell not 100%

Magic been struggling, too...but no doubt would help if Mitchell can be himself.

Jokic fraudulently took an MVP as a 6-seed.

It's only right if he loses one to Doncic as a 5-seed. Luka is carrying the Mavs on his back.

Jokic as a 6th seed was better than his competition that year. Luka as a 5th seed is not.

 

[Duffman]

Well at least he's finally had an MVP type game. Like Embiid and Doncic do everytime they're on the court.

You must be new, he’s been doing that all season.

But as well know. Jokic putting up elite numbers against a top defense is 100% the same as Luka doing it against Charlotte.

False. Wrong.

Finally an MVP type game. Try to keep up.

 

[The Q]

False. Wrong.

Maybe i was wrong aboht who is Toni


It’s not @fightinfunbags

It’s you

 

[Duffman]

False. Wrong.

it’s actually correct.

Jokic‘s 2 main competition that year was Embiid and Giannis, they won 51 games, Jokic won 48.

This year Luka has his team at 50 while his 2 main competition Jokic and SGA have their teams at 56 and 55.

Jokic had Murray miss an entire season and MPJ missed 73. Luka this year had Kyrie miss 22 games.

Total games of 20+ points in 2023-24:
Luka - 63
Other Mavericks - 89

Total games of 20+ points in 2021-22:
Jokic - 66
Other Nuggets - 65

Do I need to go on?

He’s does that a lot, try and keep up.

Be real. Jokic is Toni.

It's pathetic what the nerds have done to evaluating the game.

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Someone is sure fixated on Luka here...

20+.

Lol exactly.

Look at your sad little argument pretending like 20 is worth a damn.

Can't really speak to when he was with the Pels...but one of the complaints since the Lakers got him has been not demanding the ball. That's why he would sometimes catch flak for not showing up every game.

 

[thunderc]

High IQ battle going on I see

Given you’re a simpleton it makes sense why you don’t understand what I said. The point is the competition is tougher for Luka this year than it was for Jokic in 2022 and Luka has more help this year than Jokic had.

 

[bksballer89]

Start Luka
Bench SGA
Cut Nikola

Dude… I’ve read your “Luka had more help” bullshit for a few days. Here are his credentials (and - I’m not saying he should or shouldn’t win MVP - these are the credentials);

• 34/9/10
• 1st in points
• 2nd in assists
• 73 point game (4th highest ever)
• First 33/9/9 season in NBA history
• Most 30-PT TD’s since MVP Russ
• 1st in 25-point games
• 1st in 35-point games
• 1st in 40-point games
• 1st in 45-point games
• 2nd in 3’s made
• Top 10 in steals
• 61.7% TS
• Highest scoring season in Mavs history
• Most PPG + RPG + APG since the merger
• Most consecutive 25 point triple-doubles ever
• Most consecutive 30 point triple-doubles ever
• Lifted Mavs from 11 seed to 5 seed
• Most games missed by teammates among all playoff teams
• Mavs 50+ wins
• Mavs 1st in clutch win%
• 6th best record in entire NBA

I’ll leave it at that. but stop with the “he had more help” garbage. It’s a horseshit “argument”.
