GAME 20: PHX (10-8) @ DAL (8-12) | 105-111 loss

[SleepingHero]

Just saying and it could totally be nothing


But Luka does not look like he's having a good time at all. Just by his mannerisms and him sitting on the bench. Again could totally be nothing but for a dude who's normally all smiles he's looked particularly not smiley this game.

[Hypermav]

Kaminsky has decided to help us tho.

[omahen]

Phoenix will not hit 80 % from three whole game. All Powell haters should shut up. He is one of the best Mavs defender. Great team defense from him

It looked like the Mavs purposely went away from a Luka-centric offense in that first quarter....not sure he likes that.

I would find it strange if he was having a good time during this losing streak tbh.

[Kammrath]

The rebounding is going to suck as long as the Mavs have 4s (DP) playing 5, and 3s (DFS and JJ) playing 4. Mavs just give up too much length on the inside right now.

[SleepingHero]

Mavs played a good quarter and still are down. 

Yeesh.

Mavs just need to win to be joyful. 

Luka tried to track down Chris Paul's full court heave and looked fine/normal to me.

I'd rather change the team than reduce Luka's role.

He was smiling just fine on the court after a few shots went in. I'll pay closer attention, but I think he just likes winning.

I mean I could totally be staring at nothing and creating a picture.

Perhaps I looked at the wrong times. I don't know. Luka could be totally fine.

Can't say I blame him.

Most of where I'm coming from was watching Luka during a timeout. I don't have ad breaks so I get the in-stadium feed which means I can see the team during the whole timeout and Luka was just distant and not engaged in whatever RC was writing down on the whiteboard.

[SleepingHero]

What an odd time to call a timeout by RC

[Kammrath]

Did Luka look hurt?

[Hypermav]

I am not trying to bash Iwundu but I am glad DFS is back.

I've thought for a few games that Luka seems to be nursing a knee injury nobody is talking about. It doesn't surprise me that me might be a little preoccupied on the bench. But that doesn't mean you're not also seeing something unrelated to that.

No its okay to bash Iwundu

These refs are making a point to go after Luka.

Especially that one white dude.

[Tyler]

Just when I start to feel good, refs gonna ref. Being able to hear Cuban so loudly scream at them in an empty stadium is fun, at least.

[Kammrath]

Except it just makes them not ref Luka fairly even more....

[SleepingHero]

You might be onto something there....

What is this offensive spacing my god

do you guys see how atrocious it is?

[cow]

That was beautiful WCS. Good D on CP3 on the other end too even though he hit it.
