Who was the player of the game who elevated his game to help the team win?

Get McShaqtin off the poll

Someone voted for him!

Luka. He was like a video game getting wide open corner 3s for everyone with ridiculous passes. I can’t imagine if this guy played with good shooters instead of the extremely mid guys we have.
Over the shoulder. Behind the back. No look to the side. Pew pew pew. Wide wide open shots for everyone.

I enjoyed the increased pace a LOT

I’d give the spastic Canadian a kiss before I vote for McShaqtin

If the officiating was consistent, Wood could have gotten at least 2 and-1s.
It's just so nice to see a Mav big score in the lane with that much contact.
He's like a snake out there, slithering on his way to the basket.

Yeah, I did it. 83% from the field with good defense, screens, and slips. Luka was fantastic but was 50% from the field with ok defense. Probably any other time I would give this vote to Luka. I think this shows real maturity on my part. You're welcome.

No judgment, because it was his best game is Maverick, by far. But, I personally don’t think it impacted the outcome of the game nearly as much as the other choices.
Are you McGee’s last fan around here?
RE: GAME 15 DIRKIE: Who gets it? - ballsrchr - 11-18-2022
I feel uncomfortable not voting for Luka, but some of the rest of the team needs to step up and earn a Dirkie. And we get to see what happens with a rested Luka. Not bad!
CW has earned this Dirkie...and probably should be getting starter minutes--meaning 30+. Nobody on the team should be getting over 35...
I have said we need at least 4 people in double figures to win games. Against the nuggets we had 6. That will win you some games. Defense wasn't bad either. Defense is hard. Very rarely is it acknowledged. All the glory is in offense.
Denver was short handed and I guess it was just one of those night. We got an easy win.

Not quite. I just thought he 'elevated' his game more than others. Oh and he helped the team win with his energy.
RE: GAME 15 DIRKIE: Who gets it? - MrGoat - 11-18-2022
McGee was straight up better than Powell tonight, he at least deserves the consideration so it's not 100% a troll vote if I give him a vote. There would be a lot less complaining about him if he played like this more often
We have won our last 7 games when Luka and Wood are both available.

Wood's first half stretch was flipping amazing before THJ decided he needed to chuck a three and then Wood responded in kind.
RE: GAME 15 DIRKIE: Who gets it? - Chicagojk - 11-18-2022
luka’s pass to Din in the corner was majestic. I wish I was good at anything as good as Luka is on the basketball court. In a game filled with his great passes, that one was amazing.
I give it to Wood though tonight. He got the Mavs going with his run when he entered the game and the mavs never looked back.

Yeah, saw that too.
"Here he goes again, I'm not going to get shots in with this chucking, might as well shoot one too" - Wood (probably).
RE: GAME 15 DIRKIE: Who gets it? - SleepingHero - 11-18-2022
Hard not to give it to Wood tonight just for his first half alone. 18 points in 11 minutes is crazy.
But Luka's passes tonight were unbelievable. My jaw dropped on more than one occasion. The fact he pushed the pace too deserves a mention. So for that (and a 30pt trip dub doesn't hurt either) Luka gets the Dirkie.

This was huge for me. This is the first time I remember him playing like this in YEARS. I don't know if he was just jazzed to play in front of his Dad and that Slovenian basketball official, or what.

It was because of playing in front of his adopted dad (DAJ).
