WOW LUKA TO LIVELY!

Also grant with amazing D on Derozan there

[dirkfansince1998]

Green was bailed out by a travel but that's just a terrible closeout. Especially compared to Carter or Caruso.

[Jym]

Gotta find a way to rest Luka more
Especially for a first half

[dirkfansince1998]

Down 1. Luka 2/9 from the field. Could have been worse.

[SleepingHero]

Luka is getting absolutely thrashed. Its games like these where we're missing Kyrie badly. Someone has to step up.

Hopefully Lively can continue his play cause we're down a man and he's been fantastic.

Luka has to get it going or else this will be the Mavs 1st loss.

[donzingis38]

luka.. just f off, man.

dude's whining like crazy again.

i really don't like this version of him.

[Chicagojk]

Would like to see more of Exum. It just feels like if Luka is not going to put up huge scoring totals that the bulls have more weapons for the second half. Either Luka goes Luka mode or someone makes a big step up to win this one.

Lively has been so impressive.

Kleber out for the game per Mavs PR

[LukaMVP]

home court basket has been so unfriendly to us that it allowed those contested shots by LaVine while rejecting some easy shots from our players including lively’s dunk.

[LukaMVP]

luka played 22 minutes in the first half and we will need a well rested luka rather than a tired one for crunch time. hardy played tonight which means he ain't unavailable so why doesn't kidd play him more? same goes for OMax.

[SleepingHero]

Great first sequence to start the half!!!

Luka D. Lively pass to the DJJ dunk. Lively block, DJJ lay in

---

Then DJJ for 3!

[SleepingHero]

Luka seems exhausted. He's also so hyper fixated on the refs I fear he's not going to get into the groove.

---

DJJ WITH THE TAKEOFF WOW

[dirkfansince1998]

Ice worked for the Thibs Celtics/Bulls. When bigs couldn't shoot and ballhandlers weren't as skilled as today.

[SleepingHero]

Luka having a horrific game sheesh.

[Jym]

Then many years in, you'd think Luka would be used to the refs sucking
Just a fact of life

[Chicagojk]

Looks like one of those games where Luka loses his cool and worries more about the calls than the opponent. This is where mental toughness is so important. I would give him a break after this timeout. He has worked hard tonight and looks a little tired.

[LukaMVP]

refs clearly don't want us to win four games in a row.

[The Jom]

How not a tech???

[dirkfansince1998]

I hate this pick and roll defense so freakin much. Mavs aren't the 08 Celtics. Aren't the 20 Lakers.

[The Jom]

I’m out on trading for Caruso. He’d foul out in 5 mins as a Mav.
