GAME 20: DAL (14-6) @ NOP (6-15) | 118-97 win

[Flipper]

When KP was in NY he got those calls in the post (when guys get under him) all the time. Not a single call this year. Seems weird

[LukTheShadow]

Barea may just get himself a Dirkie

He definitely was a great spark and gave big momentum to second team to stay in the game. But watch +/- stat, JJ scored 8pt in 7mins and he's -2..  Just to indicate, how this stat is not telling any story on short period of time...

I hope mavs will put themselves together and show NOP who is who on the court before crunch time,  it would be a shame not to take a W from this game, NOPs are not play good. But mavs are not in best shape as well...

How was that not a foul??

LUUUKA WITH A 3 FROM THE BAYOU!

Luka is killing it

[SleepingHero]

THJ lucky that shot went in. No one else touched the ball that possession.

Luka knlocking down shots

Ingram is destorying DFS

Unreal how bad Porzingis' offense is right now. He's not even 50% the player he can be on that end of the floor. It's that drastic.

I guess it can only get better.......but it's still rough to see. Especially when he is in the post.

It's not like the shots he's getting are bad shots. Most are just rimming in and out. If he can just hit half of those shots he's a 20ppg scorer and the Mavs number 1 offense gets that much better.

Yeah I'm actually positively surprised by the type of shots he's taking. Unfortuntely he's converting them at a career low efficiency right now.

[SleepingHero]

WHAT AMAZING D BY KP THERE!

[bartlettbear]

KP as to spin left there,

learn how to play in the post

[SleepingHero]

Ingram is destorying DFS

This game is making me more and more convinced that we need Andre Iguodala.

[dirkfansince1998]

Not the right time to force feed KP. Game is close and the Mavs cannot waste possessions.

[SleepingHero]

POWELL AND-1! 

What a pass by Luka there!

[BigDirk41]

It would be awesome if Luka can get a 30/20/10 triple double tonight

[JamesConway]

Josh Hart would be a nice fit on our team.

[Hypermav]

KP is a better shooter than this.  Frustrating for him but at this point the Mavs have to go to better more efficient options when he is in there.  His defense is great though.

[Dwhistle]

KP has such a high center of gravity that it makes it difficult for him to establish post position against shorter, stockier guys.

[dmavs4life03]

I'd throw JJackson back in for a few and see if he can heat up.

[SleepingHero]

It would be awesome if Luka can get a 30/20/10 triple double tonight

That has happened exactly 33 times in the history of the NBA

Wilt has 16 of them. Oscar Robertson has 7.  Kareem has 2. Elgin Baylor has 4. The rest have only been recorded by Demarcus Cousins (44/23/10),  David Lee (37/20/10), George McGinnis (38/21/10), and Billy Cunningham (31/27/11).

If Luka does that, he will be BY FAR the youngest player to ever do it. Currently the youngest is the Big O at 23 years old.

Luka hit all 3!! Good for him

[Hypermav]

To get the assists, he will have to play 8-9 minutes in the 4th.  I don't think RC will let him.  I hope he does...

Yeah I agree. He'll probably play the last 6
