Mavs are gonna climb to No. 5, take down the Clippers a-la Jordan v Bad Boy Pistons, take down the inexperienced Thunder and then take down a tired Nuggets team fresh off a 7-game war with Minnesota
Finals szn, we move, join me on the bandwagon now
Dirk Nowitzki’s been retired for less than 3 years and i feel like y’all have already forgotten just how much he did for the game, and just how dominant he was. So allow me to remind you.
A VERY LONG, BUT VERY NEEDED THREAD:
1/25

“in Europe, it’s 1 minute timeouts. in the NBA, if you’re on national TV, it’s 4 minute timeouts, you can go run and get a beer and come back in time” - Luka Dončić
😂😂😂😂
Arike Ogunbowale was asked about this interaction and the physicality of the WNBA postgame:
question: “i know folks have been making a big talk about how physical the game has been. is it a surprise the game has been this way or has it been ratcheting up recently?”
her answer:
@LilNasX
fundip and chilling with your friends, if you ain’t watching sponge bob, you know that you can,
call me when you want, call me when you need, call me after school’s out, i’ll be on the way
on wide open shots, which the NBA defines as having no defender within six feet:
in this series, OKC is shooting 42% from 3 and has an EFG of 63%. Dallas, under the same parameters, is shooting 40.9% and 61.5% respectively.
everyone misses shots, that's not why you're losing.
@wesrap
of course they did. texas gets emotional when it gets told “you’re not as important as you think”
however it doesn’t matter.
biden 306, trump 232. that’s what matters
to the fans who started a fight with me because i was standing in the middle of a third quarter run in a series clinching win, watch the game at home.
to the AAC security guard that sided with them and told me to sit down, i hope you never work a Mavericks playoff game again.
Oddly soon as Luka comes back! The Mavs look like dog sht! His numbers look great of course but the team looks NOTHING like they did when he was out.. coincidence?

Luka Dončić is currently 3rd in the league in scoring (28.6 PPG) and 3rd in the league in assists (8.7 APG).
He’s the only player in the NBA to be top 5 in both categories.
Luka Dončić tonight:
31 points
12 rebounds
20 assists (career-high!)
12-23 shooting
only ONE turnover
Mavs are now the 5th seed in the Western Conference.
MVP talk heating up??

produced the vaccine without the US Government’s help. there is no evidence to suggest they have any political agenda.
you should be happy that we’re going to be safe. but of course you take it selfishly, and that’s why we voted you out.

okay, at MOST, there’s 25k people in this video. you do realize it takes about 77 MILLION votes to win the Presidency, right? or do you not understand simple mathematics?
@realDonaldTrump
this isn’t even funny anymore. it’s not dangerous either. states will certify your loss this week and next week.
this is just sad. a man in such deep denial he has to cry to his twitter followers while he’s the president of the united states.
just sad.
Luka Dončić’s NBA Resume:
-26-8-8 career averages
-2x All-NBA First Team
-2x All-Star
-Rookie Of The Year
-2x Top-6 MVP Finishes
-5 40+ point games in the playoffs (same amount as Larry Bird)
-31/10/9 in his 1st playoff series
-36/8/10 in his 2nd playoff series
and he’s only 22
The Mavs won a game against one of the hottest teams in the league with the refs against them and Luka Dončić was tied for the 4th-most points on the team.
what a win
Dirk was lighting up Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, a top-10 player and two of the greatest defenders on the planet, but i’m supposed to believe he’d struggle in an era where teams shoot more threes than ever and spacing is the best its ever been?
alright man lol
Jokic > Dirk.
The Dirk hype needs to chill. He wouldn’t be cracking the top 10-15 players in the league today. Everyone can shoot now. He wasn’t athletic, a great defender or a great passer. He’d struggle vs Jokic, AD, Bam, even KAT.
Luka Dončić in the Mavs first two games in this series:
35.0 PPG
51% shooting
42% from 3
8.5 RPG
9.0 APG
1.0 SPG
1.5 BPG
2 W’s against the heavily favored Clippers
We’re watching history, folks. Embrace it.
-1st Olympic appearance in Slovenia history
-Smallest country in mens basketball since 1932
-Beat
#2
Spain to win group
-Went 4-2 in Olympics
-Luka T-2nd highest scoring game in Olympic history (48)
I’m sad it didn’t end in a medal, but WHAT A RUN by
@luka7doncic
& Slovenia
Luka Dončić really had one of the greatest Game 7 performances in the history of the NBA just for mf’s to come on this app and say the loss was his fault
i’m still sick about it lmao
@LilNasX
on the one hand, it’s april fools day and i shouldn’t believe anything i read on twitter today...on the other hands, it’s fuckin lil nas x and i could totally see him doing this😭😭
that’s a final from Dallas. 111-103
Luka Dončić had 35 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists.
He also targeted 3x Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert consistently down the stretch on defense…and won the matchup a lot.
@AOC
republicans want to spend almost a trillion dollars a year on our military but they get upset when we want to spend half a trillion to help people during the worst pandemic in a century?
@espn
tackling derrick henry and it’s not even close lol.
if you fail to defend steph curry, you get embarrassed on film and you dust yourself off and go home
if you fail to tackle derrick henry, you might actually die lol
@wesrap
@realDonaldTrump
as they should. he won that state. just like biden should get 16 votes from georgia, and 20 from pennsylvania.
biden 306, trump 232.
@realDonaldTrump
well..trump was professional for all of 2 hours and now he’s back to sharing conspiracy theories. at what point does the senate say “enough is enough” and invoke the 25th amendment? does he have to actually shoot someone on 5th avenue?
