Mavericks have a great opportunity to get the 5th seed this year

[ArbitraryWater]

finally play a not uber-stacked team in Memphis, albeit still a great team.

Everybody else is injured.

Luka needs to get back asap.

Get that 5th seed.

theyre better without luka. he's amazingly talented but the bran ball pounding and stat padding ruins the offense and limits porzingis

I wish I never spent 7 grand on that ****ers rookie card. he needs to just stop chasing assists and get in the post. shoot fades and back guys down all day like dirk. set up off the double teams for cutters or let KP go to work on the other side

Luka is a stat padder. Pretty much the mix of white Harden, slower version of LeBron without the bball IQ and experience + some Russel Westbrook tendencies to top it off. Chases rebounds instead of playing good d and jacks up stupid shots, although every now and then they go in and it looks great.

I root for him to have a good career but he has to figure some things out. Dallas have no chance this season.

EDIT: That may be seen as a little harsh. He's a good player but Dallas need something more than just him back.
