Awesome win.
Maybe this Luka injury will spur some confidence for Zingis.

Is this a bit or is this really you?

Great win! Love watching curry play when he's aggressive. KP was great too and made some good passes out of double teams. The guys knew they'd have a lot more scoring opportunities with Luka out, so they were probably really excited for this game. Great game all around.
What an epic win last night. Just awesome to watch.
KP looks like he's already lost all the muscle he put on during his rehab.
Here he is doing his best Drago impersonation during his rehab year.

And here he is last night.
Granted, in the top pick he's all yoked up during his lift, but still. Crazy metabolism.

That was a hell of a win last night. Really interested to see how this season unfolds. You don't beat Milwaukee on the road sans Luka without legit depth on your roster.
And it wasn't like GreekFreak had a bad night either. Middleton had a rough night, but that happens.

Y'all notice THJ and Brunson kinda using Luka's technique of almost boxing out one of the defenders when he's dribbling in the paint?
They aren't as successful but it looks like some of his game is rubbing off on them.
I think that move is called a hostage dribble. You get the defender in a position where he his helpless and you hold him hostage with the dribble...

The correct pronunciation is zinger.
Well, Luka come back please
This is close to the worst shooting I have seen from us this season, and we are only down by 4
This offense has no life. Why no JJ tonight?
Brunson had a rough night. This game was definitely winnable...just didn't feel like shots were falling.
This team plays much worse at home for some reason.
Mavs looking good and the Philly boo birds are just getting warmed up for Sunday.
sucks that we let them close the gap
Obvious observations at the moment might be that Luka is holding back other teammates success. I always thought there might be a little bit of that due to some shot jacking from Luka from time to time.
Any thoughts? Obviously I love Luka but you can't help but wonder with performances like this against the bucks, Celtics, heat and 76ers.

They're far better with Luka than without and any negative impact on bit players isn't a concern. They have a role and that role reduces when th best player on the team is playing. The main concern is how to meld Porzingis and Luka.
If anything this should highlight to people the depth of this team and that the reason they succeed isn't exclusively Luka, but because our 6-10 guys are much better than most if not everyone's 6-10 guys.

What was our record before he got hurt, were we playing well? Disagree with you that it even matters if its trueTheMasterplan said:

I consider that as well - only thinking about making the record even better with a healthy Luka.
Does anything change when Luka comes back?

Probably the accurate description.
If anything, if this is true, gives more reason to not play Luka as many minutes.

Beat Mil and Phil on the road without Luka? Freaking awesome. Damn near beat Boston as well. Being money on the road (I know it's way way early) is a good omen for this team's playoff run.
Hopefully Porzingis exerts some control over the game and realizes he's a better player than he's been with Luka.
We're gonna get to the end of this stretch and realize we should have swept the top of the East. That's the bummer, because with Luka we would and that's an immense confidence booster for a young team.
The Clippers are the only team that the Mavs would be any kind of substantial dog against in a 7 game series right now and not so much that they couldn't pull it off.

I posted the same thing on another forum when he went down. I think he has a little lebron in him to where he makes role players much better but somewhat hinders the better players/creators. For instance, lebron makes 3 and D guys great, but the production of the star players he has played with went down bc he is so ball dominant (wade, bosh, love, etc). So KP May be forced to take a back seat similar to bosh/love.
This isn't a knock on lebron or Luka, more an observation. Luka is amazing, and I don't want him taking a back seat to anyone. But I would like to find a way to get KP and others rolling while on the floor with Luka.
Just need to hope we can avoid the clippers until the western finals. Mavs usually don't get good luck with playoff matchups tho.hph6203 said:

Mavs got totally punked and de-pantsed. I don't think I've seen an NBA team lose a 30 point lead in the second half of a game.
Wtf happened? I saw they were up by 30 at one point, and then 23 to start the fourth and just saw they lost.

Raptors sent in some no name tall lanky dude who would come out of Timbuktu to block half of our shots and Kyle Lowry pulled his kemba walker impersonation and dominated the 4th quarter.
Mavericks still struggle to contain high end guards from scoring when it matters.
If only we had a point guard who looked and played and scored like a wing
85-46 Dallas followed by 49-15 Toronto.
