GAME 76: LAL (31-44) @ DAL (47-29) | 110-128 MAVS WIN!

He is playing well, for sure. But my take away from that half of basketball was that the Lakers have so, so, so given up on their season it’s ridiculous. That’s the worst NBA team effort I have seen in a long time.

Vogel looks like a dead man walking.

For sure. If I were he I would be counting the days until I could put that toxic team in my rearview mirror.

I hope he gets a good gig and has lots of success. Hate this for him.

[Kammrath]

If this RB shows up in the playoffs the Mavs are going to be a tough out.

He is the key.

7 players in double digit scoring, that's a great team effort!

Not 1 of them being DFS (yet) and we still get the win!

[Jommybone]

Been waiting on DFS to get a shot to maybe get us to 8 in doubles. But just came and he bricked it. Oh well. Only Ws matter.

[Kammrath]

Luka spent way too much time chucking threes.....4-12 on threes, come on man. Otherwise EPIC effort from Luka.

[ItsGoTime]

^ His first triple double in a really long time...for his standards.

Can’t agree with you, buddy. He played some really weak 3rd Q defense, and just watched Monk hit that last 3 right in front of him. So not wholly epic otherwise.

For sure, wasn't commenting on his D, just his O.

Not disagreeing with you but also why are we really concerned with Luka's D tonight when the game was over at half time tonight?

Great confidence building game for sure. Feel like the pressure was off this game and it got some players back into the rotation for a bit. Bertans was hitting shots, wish Maxi had done the same, but he was rebounding well and taking it across the court for the buzzer lay-up has to feel good.  Overall, for me personally, this is exactly what I hoped to see tonight. Luka be Luka, the team all get a piece of the action, an easy win on paper become an easy win in reality, and Boban shed his warm-ups for some court time!

[Omega_Supreme]

I have been a big defender of Bertans but his game tonight looked different. He looked way more relaxed and effortless on his release.

If Bertans can start to get it going, the Mavs are going to be very dangerous. 

He was lethal tonight.

[Jmaciscool]

What a fun game to watch!

I thought it was funny when Vogel was interviewed at the start of the second quarter and said they needed to execute that Westbrook then immediately dribbled off his foot at the exact moment Vogel said the word "execute"

[BasketballJones41]

Huge night for us overall but there’s just something extra satisfying about beating Fakers.

Because in the playoffs, you won't be playing the Lakers.

[MurphySP28]

Because in the playoffs, you won't be playing the Lakers.

I'm not the most intelligent person alive but I would feel safe betting on Luka being aware of what you're saying. I trust Luka to step up when he needs to defensively.

Also, you are very correct. In the playoffs I won't be playing the Lakers. In fact I won't be playing anyone!

[fifteenth]

Most importantly, regarding the post above...

The Lakers my not be playing anyone
