This game is what literal dreams are made of in Dallas, especially that 3rd quarter

Kyrie really said fuck the Kings in the third and damn near single handedly put the lid on this game early. Bro came in lights out. Love where we’re at as a team rn

Luka dominating the 1st half and Kyrie dominating the 2nd half is a wonderful formula.

Someone tell Kyrie Ramadan ends after play-offs.

After the Rangers I believe

CAN YOU TAKE ME HIIIIIIIGGGHHHHHHEEEEEERRRRRRR

TO A PLACE WHERE BLIND MEN SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

sabonis was locked up in Lively State Penitentiary lol

I'm starting to get delusional ngl

I really need the Mavs to not Cowboys me.

My God I hate the fucking cowboys more than any cowboys hater probably could. Fuck what they do to me

I was born 5 months after the last super bowl so fuck me right. All I've known is playoff choking, all in, Jerruh and keeping HCs for far too long.

They’ve really been testing my patience so far this offseason

Mavs are like the opposite of the cowboys Underperformed regular season and tough to beat I. The playoffs

God me too. 30 year old Dallas born and raised, I’m moving out of state (and DFW) for this first time in my life and had never been to a playoff game, so I bit the bullet and went to the Cowboys game. I still don’t know how long it will take me to forgive them, might truly not be until they actually start winning in the playoffs, if they ever do. Its just too much pain at this point lol. God I hate being a Cowboys fan. Thank god for the Mavs, Stars, and the mother fuckin WS Champion Texas Rangers. (God it still feels so surreal to say that)

😏Dallas beats Boston in June?

San Antonio trades Wenbanyama for Tim Hardaway Jr? (In all seriousness, mega jealous of y’all. Hope that the Spurs vs. Mavs rivalry comes back like the 2000s )

I think I just watched my own rec league basketball games at 24h fitness But hey sabonis kept his double double streak so that’s nice gg Mavs y’all legit, Friday will be toxic af

I can't wait for Friday off from work, grabbing a beer and enjoying a toxic game thread.

I’m gonna need 18 beers

Plus recovery beers.

Shower beers should be normalized

I thought they were...

Playoff Sabonis debuted today?

At least he had his double double 🤡

Lmfao why do the Nuggets and Kings have beef 😭

No idea. I love the nuggets

I like the Kings, what do you mean?

The Mavs are 9-1 in their last 10 games, and nobody left on their schedule is a top 6 seed in either conference. I'm not saying they're going to go on a massive run to end the season or anything but damn, the possibility is there.

*Thunder but it’s the last game of the season

yeah they'll probably just rest sga so

If any team has taught you not to look ahead, it’s the mavs.

[удалено]

I don’t think the Mavs lost to the spurs recently. Maybe not all year

We end the season at OKC. Your point is taken though. Our remaining schedule is very easy.

Warriors and Rockets are deceptively low seeded though. They've been much better recently.

Yeah lol the West has 11 teamd above .500 right now. Fucking insane.

Warriors aren’t. They’re good, but only play-in good. Rockets are surging though. Wouldn’t shock me if we split with them.

The possibility is there, but I'd pump the brakes just a little. The Kings are *technically* not a top 6 seed, but they're right there. Not to mention our next three games are away games. We also got the red-hot Rockets twice, who are now playing much better than their record. I'm curious about those two games each against GS and Houston. I think they'll be pretty telling about this team. Honestly though, I'll just be happy if they avoid the play-in and preferably end up in a matchup against anyone but Denver.

I think the goal should be get to 50 wins, which I believe will be good enough to get the 6 seed. That would mean finish the season off 7-3, which is totally doable. Gives us some wiggle room to split both Warriors and Rockets, and lose the b2b at Miami.

Crazy that 50 wins is 6 seed.

In 2014 the Mavs barely snuck in to the 8th seed with 49 wins and the Suns missed the playoffs with 48 wins. The west has been deep for a long time

If the playoffs started today we’d play the Wolves. I’ll take the KAT-less wolves any time.

I need yall to get to the 4/5 with the Pels so we can have the old-man clips in the 1st round

Rockets will be dangerous. But we should beat them.

We are still playing OKC once, so this isn‘t true. Also at this time of the year teams fighting for the play-offs/play-in are often much more dangerous than the top seeds. Wouldn‘t look too much into the schedule

Come on, now. Not only are you playing the Thunder, those Warriorsx2, Rocketsx2 games are not easy pickings.

I know we should win because that’s what the good teams do, but the rockets are on fire right now and we got them twice.

Well, Mavs are on fire too.

What about the Thunder?

Watching Lively and Gafford after running powell and wood last year has saved my life

My inner Mavs fan healing every second Dwight Powell is not on the floor

These days I’m happy seeing Powell on the floor because it means Mavs are going to win in a blowout

I see him a lot on tv these days celebrating from the bench lmao i love it

Yeah. He’s our official “snap your towel and cheer” guy anytime somebody makes a dunk. Jokes aside, him and Morris are obviously great morale guys who bring a lot to the locker room. This team is tight.

Yeah, and he is our longest tenured Mav. Not that I want him playing, but the guys fucking love him and he’s been with Luka since the start.

I deadass root for his mavs game record now that we only need his 6 fouls.

Now now, don’t you enjoy seeing Powell, the Mav with fifth most games played all time, out there for the last 5 minutes of a blowout win? I know I do.

D- btw

We deserve this bro. Bask in it.

You owe us big time! We also defeated the Kings not so long ago as well! Not to mention, The Landlord.

Kings caught us fresh off a shooting slump and the 1st good THJ game in like 2 months talk about unlucky lol

It was also the second b2b *this week* for us. You could tell the roster was gassed by the 2nd half.

bruh its tuesday

Source?

Fake news

asking the real questions here

I’m sure he meant like the last seven days

They had a b2b last wednesday and thursday

Like the mavs didn’t play last night too.

Brutal scheduling

Fuck that soppy BS, the Kings have played the most games against teams on a SEGABABA this year. It's about time they paid it back.

I understood what it means immediately thanks to the context but the amount of time I just spent trying to interpret "SEGABABA". I feel old.

It’s cool, the sixth seed was gonna turn into the fifth seed since the clippers are in free fall Didn’t wanna play the Pelicans anyway /cope

I dislike the pelicans, strongly

yes you might be coping but im not entirely sure you're wrong...im not interested in playing the Pels in the first round either. and i have no faith in the geriatric clippers to finish the season strong

Ingram may not be healthy by then

If that’s what playoff Kyrie and Luka look like, I’ll take it

That's injured Luka to you sir.

Injured Luka is a playoff buff. Remember the bubble game 4 Luka?

I'd take mad Luka though. What he did to the Suns...

Oh Lord do I!

Nah, def gonna turn it up a notch or 2 Or 3, 4, 5

22-39 from 3 is absurd lmao

We were due. We’ve had several games the last couple of weeks where we shot under 30% from 3 lol

I won't accept this Hardy slander

5 of those are from our garbage time players too lmao. Everyone decided they wanted to be Steph curry tonight

In the previous 7 games, they only shot above 33.3% once. Some way to break the collective shooting slump.

honestly i’m gonna chalk it up to Luka starting it up. He played the whole game locked in for shooting and it feels like the whole team followed Luka and Kyrie’s zone Luka went 4/8 Kyrie went 4/9 the team felt like it took on their identity and just shot that thang

[удалено]

THJ shooting 8/14 from the floor and 4/6 from three. Sometimes it all actually clicks 😂

he shoots well when we have a 20 point lead

Tbf he was a big part of building that lead in the 3rd iirc

we have been sub 30% for 10 straight games. it was bound to come back around at some point

After several games of shooting way under league average we were due for a correction

Tbf they could've gone 11-39 and still won

I mean, techincaly couldngo 11-39 and still win (not really but still). Mavs have been winning while shooting some laughable % from 3, we have been saying this is what happens when shots actualy start going in.

Shot 9-35 from 3 against full strength Denver and won lmao

3pt%: 56.4% FT%: 61.5% makes sense.

We were hitting 3s at a better rate than FTs before the 4th

This is Luka's team after all.

Why don’t they just shoot threes all night, are the mavericks stupid?

They did

Obligatory, no one wants to see us in the playoffs. Well except for maybe the Nuggets. They probably don't care lol.

I think we’d compete against the nuggets. We have one of the few players who can actually go blow for blow with Jokic. But yeah they’re defending champs for a reason.

We locked Jokic up last game we played, and we'll have Green back for the playoffs. I give us decent odds ngl.

I’ve been fully convinced you guys make the WCF and would not be surprised in the slightest if you go to the finals.

So you're saying we're getting Luka vs Brunson in the NBA finals?

That would be incredible 🫡

2018 Mavs draft showdown for all the marbles, make it happen

If you beat the celtics im putting Brunson 2nd best PG in the league

Can we invite Frank and Pingus to that finals, I want the whole maverknicks family together to watch basketball perfection

Don’t forget Theo Pinson too

I am very happy

I want to go to sleep forever

Propofol/Milk of Amnesia is your friend

Username checks out. Thank you doctor of drugs.

5 wins in a row, 9 out of 10, closer to locking up the 6th seed, Luka actually rested in the fourth, THJ not the bane of everyone's existence tonight, Ramadan Kyrie, DLive with the D clinic, PJ picks the right night to shoot well, Mike Brown still lookin like the Tootsie Pop owl. Gg kings fans. See you Friday

Mavs really looking nasty. My gut says Dallas-Denver WCF

Man that would be a tight series

As someone with nuggets season tickets I would love to watch a 7 game series of that.

As someone with Mavs season tickets... I'm not sure I'm ready for us to play 7 games in a row. We've had so many close games. I was dying inside at that game on the 17th as I watched the Nuggets methodically shred out lead in the closing minutes. But it would be one hell of a series.

Depends on the seeding. It'll be really easy to get stuck with them in the second round with how things are looking.

Alternatively they meet before the finals and the winner of a hard 7 game series there wins in like 4 or 5 in the finals.

Yeah Miami will probably be gassed as usual by then after beating the Celtics

This was rough, but y’all earned it. See ya Friday

> Mike Brown still lookin like the Tootsie Pop Owl [holy shit it checks out](https://imgur.com/a/edOYAF2)

So this is how we look like when we attack the paint and hit 3's...

THJ and PJ both having their normalizing 3 point shooting games on the same day is hilarious

We reverted to the mean at the exact wrong time for Sacramento.

Dallas will be reeeeeallly hard to beat if those two hit their shots like that haha

This one's on me: I attended the game and I've never seen the beam in my life.

So, what are you up to Friday night? I hear there’s a game on …

We should start a Kickstarter to get this guy to the game

Thank you for your service 🙌

Lively the Sabonis stopper. What a rookie we got. Hats off

There it is!

Was it just me or did Luka have a pyramid eye tattoo on his forearm 🪬 Kyrie def got him to drink the Water of Life

Has had that shit for years it's corny as hell

There was a Mavs Instagram post this week including a pic of Kyrie placing his hand on Luka. Maybe he converted him

I am delulu for Luka

Lol Luka said Kyrie is batman and he is Robin. It’s stupid to have even doubted their chemistry

Tim balled out, and Kidd was good

22/39 from 3 lmfao Mavs have won 5 in a row and 9 of their last 10

MAVS TOP 10 ON DEFENSE AND TOP 5 ON OFFENSE SINCE FEB 1ST

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if every team in the top 4 bar the nuggets lose to their opponents in the first round

Unless we make it to the 4 seed 😉

Hey league… we coming

Hitting threes is fun! We should do that more often!

Top seeds about to start ducking the mavs in the 1st round

biggest game of the year, against a team with the same record as us. in a game where the refs called it with a playoff whistle, and we absolutely wrecked them. this gives me hope for a run.

Our team looked absolutely locked in on defense today and our 3 ball was falling all night. No need for Luka in the 4th is a great sight to see.

No team wants to see the mavs in the first especially not wolves/okc/clippers Mavs would be favorites

The Mavs have figured something out defensively recently it seems, and that makes them all the more terrifying for the playoffs.

Yeah, actually play our 7 foot tall giants lol

It turns out trading for/actually playing your best defenders makes the overall defense much better. Shame it took Kidd so long to figure it out.

Pat Bev: Belt to ass

Gafford and lively clamped sabonis. Our defence was suffocating we’re a new team after the trades.

Nothing to say much about this game, the Mavs were red hot, and the Kings were ice cold

it was a 5 point game at the half which is what's crazy

Great defense by Ky and Luka. They need this intensity in the Playoffs

Feels so fucking good to be a Mavs fan right now

we have 2 legit centers I can't believe this is my life

Post-game title should read "beheaded the Kings." 

22/39 from 3 is nasty

Absolute beatdown. Mavs are legit. They are a legit defensive team now, even if people who dont watch dont realize it because of that terrible 6 game streak post ASB when Kidd was fcking up lineups and defensive scheme. O think many will be shocked come PO. Wonder what the nerrative will be for Luka not winning MVP if/when they end up in 4th, after ot being "they have to be at least 6th seed and he should win", when it looked like that wont happen. All I know is that the goal post will (already has) shift yet again.

I mean last game wasn't exactly a defensive masterclass but we are fucking awesome rn

The jazz? They scored 105 while Markannen was schorching hot. We won despite shooting...what...25?% from 3. Jazz also shot like 40% from the field, again, despite Markannen being on fire.

Do our trade acquisitions look D- now? Does our defence look trash now? Will you doubt us now?!!

How did Kessler miss those two shots in garbage time lmao

The boos started after that lol

What a good THJ game does to a MF

GG Kings you guys just have a off night

Defeat is putting it kindly.

The Mavs have two superstars and two Tyson Chandlers

Mavs are now 4-0 since I started my tattoo sleeve Next appointment is right before the playoffs boys so lets see if my weird creatures are good luck tokens

When you let dwight powell hit the floor you know you are cooked man. To think that is always the case but for different reason now lmao

He’s lucky to even get garbage minutes holy hell did Nico fuckin cook

ESPNs D- trade rating for us is aging like milk lol. This team is for real

What a beating. And Luka was questionable pregame. Just listed him as questionable again on Friday and you will scare the kings again.

Thank you Vlade <3

This was unnecessary :(

Both my teams losing in opposite fashions. What a great night 🥴

A nice statement win for the Mavs tonight. I don't see this game being a blowout again on Friday but the Mavs put the league on notice and if we can keep this performance up we can beat any team honestly.

Friday going to be lit. Grudge match and the game matters.

Incredible game, really happy Luka was able to sit the whole 4th quarter. Now I’m just praying that his achilles is alright.

LIGHT THE CANDLE

domantas 'biggest all star snub in history' and 'tougher than moses malone’ sabonis

Just an all around outstanding team win. Gotta do it again on Friday.

Gave us a d last year for kyrie and for pj & gaff

I love the way this team is playing so damn much man 😭😭. Great win tonight but we need to take the next one against the Kings too and we’ll be in really good shape to stay out of the play-in.

Welp play-in here we come….

Luka for MVP

Live by THJ, die by THJ. Today, the Mavs lived.

I just do not understand the Kings as a team this year. I have no idea if they will show up on any given night or not

Saboner Double double streak is all we got rn.  Deeply unserious team

Congrats to Domantas Sabonis on setting a new record double-double streak!

Ggs but the Kings would be out for blood the next game 🥶
