I'm not saying any of the conspiracy theories about the Luka Dončić trade are true, but I will say that some of them are more logical than any of the explanations, on the record or otherwise, from anyone associated with the Mavericks.
Grateful for this amazing opportunity. Basketball means everything to me, and no matter where I play the game, I’ll do so with the same joy, passion and goal - to win championships.
As a Dallas native, who went to the Mav’s first NBA finals in 2006 and the parade in 2011. I can confidently say trading prime Luka Doncic is one of the biggest mistakes in the history of sports.
This is organizational malpractice. I am sick.
Congratulations to the NEW UFC welterweight champion, Belal Muhammad! What a brilliant performance. I know this result is exceedingly hard for many of you to deal with. Such is life. 🤫 @bullyb170
If you’re a Mavs fan this morning your mindset has to be this:
- The Mavs COULD have won 2 of these games.
- The next game is at home, which gives you a chance to avoid elimination and figure SOMETHING out
- If you win 1, then you have to win a road game and you’re right back at home.
- KP might not return for this series, that gives you some sort of tactical advantage
- Luka Doncic is one of the few players I feel can break records like these. Teams are 0-156 after being down 3-0
- There’s no chance the league wants a sweep in the finals, so the chances of being officiated poorly in game 4 are slim to none. Not saying that’s right, but it’s the reality of this league.
- This team has overcome adversity all season long. If there’s a team in the league that could overcome this I think it’s this team.
It’s almost impossible from a statistical standpoint to overcome this deficit, but eventually a team will do it. I’m going to hold onto hope that it could be this Mavs team.
