Mavs looking good
Dominating Sacramento in their own building.
Luka and Kyrie doing whatever they want and they run plays for Luka now.
Honestly, dark horse, might put down some money on them to win it all.

Wouldn’t read too much into it. Everyone scores on Sacramento.
Beam Team are only good when theyre makin a lot of shots. When they arent, they lose.

Dallas plays BIG, fast, and athletic with many of their new lineups. On both sides of the ball.
Including the ones with their slowest player, since he loves the big men running the floor, and can drop it in with arc like a QB to a WR on a go route.
Nobody besides Denver can clearly beat them in a 7-game series, if they keep their turnovers down and take good shots.
Their post-AllStarBreak numbers on both ends are incredible. Despite a lackluster record due to injuries.

Altho it is an IMPORTANT win the Mavs, because they were tied with the Kings at 42-29 and Sac had the tiebreaker, putting them in sixth and Dallas at seventh. After tonight theyll swap places, which is crucial obviously for avoiding the play in. Mavs take over pole position on that sixth spot.
Edit: Theyll be one game outta fifth as well with the Pelicans having lost tonight to OKC. Not sure who has the tiebreak.

Mavs will finish either 4 or 5 seed.
Luka isn’t even physically 100%, but the rest of the squad is healthy, and coming together on both sides of the ball.
Watching Dallas trust Gafford, Washington, Livley, Exum score against the Sac zone tonight lets you know they are very in tune with each other offensively. Playoff level execution.

Re: Mavs looking good
Yeah, they really seemed to play well. Luka is not dominating the ball as much. Still has high usage but now they more often get him the ball in the high post or coming off a screen etc.
Kyrie is also playing the best he has since 2016 so that will help.
Gafford is definitely a good addition now that someone forced Kidd to use him (Kidd has an irrational hatred of big men).

They're a well-oiled machine on offense. Just needed to improve a bit on D and it looks like they have over the past 3 weeks with some of the rotation changes.

Yeah the Gafford trade pretty much saved their season.

17-6 over the last 23 games. Very nice! 60.6 win-pace! Victories over Denver, Sacramento, Golden State, Miami, Phoenix, Oklahoma City, New York, and Philadelphia.
They're a playoff problem.

They're 12-1 with Gafford in the lineup
Rooting for Kyrie and the crew to bring a championship

Luka and Kyrie been on point. PJ, Jones Jr., and Gafford bring the athleticism. And their bench is sneaky good. Exum is the perfect high IQ back up point, Lively great back up center. They've come a long way since having to rely on Dwight Powell and maxi kleber.

You must've missed the other day when Kyrie buried Denver in the clutch.

Re: Mavs looking good
OP is pretty schizo about Luka. One day hating him like Luka stole is gf, the next day talking about putting money on him
Of course Luka is sharing the ball more now with guys who came back from injuries. Duh
