lol Doncic

[Mark Celibate]

Always liked THAT uncletom, Brunson. Was low-key excited when they picked him in the second round, and he hasn't disappointed. Hopefully Barea or Harris will retire/move on next year and he'll get more playing time.

[FkLA]

I mean sure, if he hits stepback 3s at a consistent rate then he'd be a monster but those are low percentage shots. Plus HOU sucks.

Why is he such a smug motherfucker on the court too? You haven't done shit, son.

[FkLA]

Harrison Barnes is probably one of the most selfish players I ever saw. He had Luka wide open on at least 5 possessions and he rather put up a bad shot. And this is not the first game I saw this.

Pass the ball to my Slovenian hero and get out of his way :madrun

[daslicer]

Silver obviously ordered the negros to go easy on the young cracker :lol

:lol Well he's not really a young cracker since he's European. You do know White American and White European are two different races.

[Texas_Ranger]

Pass the ball to my Slovenian hero and get out of his way :madrun

you pass the ball to the best player on the team when he's wide open. It's a normal thing to do.

oh and suck a dick faggot

I'm sure Barnes takes some ill-advised shots (everyone does) but I really doubt you'd be complaining about it so passionately if it was someone other than your hero who he didn't pass to.

I was the biggest Luka hater when he was drafted, but there's practically nothing you can say at this point against him. At his age, he's by far exceeding expectations. With his body type and the fact that very few European players at that height have come in and had major impacts in the NBA, I thought he would just be a 10-12 ppg utility player.

He came in hot his rookie year, but the biggest question is how much will he improve in the next 2-3 years? He's a different case than your typical 6'10 n!ggerbeast w/ freakish athleticism where you just wait for the rest of his skillset to fill out. Doncic's skillset is already high, but it's unlikely that he'll just develop elite athleticism over the next few years

At the very least he can lose a lot of fat(there's a good amount to lose) and get stronger. That should make a good difference in his athleticism. He's only 19. A ton can be done to make him a far better athlete.

[Phillip]

hard to understand how any mavs or nba fan cant get this after seeing dirk the past 20 years

lukas too big/strong for smaller defenders, too much handles/shiftiness for larger defenders, and too skilled/smart for supremely athletic defenders. and he has a couple difficult go-to shots he can hit consistently when defended "perfectly" with his weird floater and step-back jumper

he has answers without needing to be supremely athletic just like dirk did. as long as he stays healthy he should be just fine

tbh if this isn't subtle trolling you're just putting the ball on the tee...

imo

[Mark Celibate]

How many star players are even true “elite athletes”? Harden, Steph, Lillard, Beal, Klay, Kyrie, Jokic all would not qualify as “elite” athletes, and a couple of them are average at best. Luka just needs to improve conditioning more than anything, and get a bit more explosive.

that's a good point but I'd say Steph, Lillard, and Kyrie have elite quickness IMO

Although Harden is actually a good comparison, since he doesn't rely on quickness to beat his defender but moreso the pick-and-roll game and threat of the stepback jumper. That dunk over Draymond Green was the exception rather than the norm. No reason Doncic can't develop into that kind of player, just needs to learn how to draw fouls once he starts getting the star treatment tbh

This is my second time watching the Mavs this year, so i'm not an expert but I'm going to pretend I am one. Dennis Smith Jr is an embarrassment. The dude never looks for others and is a total black hole. My only question is does he always play this stupid or is it normal for him to ignore Doncic and jump in the air and force a bad pass for a turnover. Doncic is for real btw. The dude has no weaknesses offensively and that's with him not being used to NBA speed. Next year he is going to be an All Star. It's rare for a Euro to just come in the NBA and play his normal game, usually they are too slow or they aren't used to shooting so quickly bc of how fast the close outs are. But he gives zero about who is guarding him and just has extreme confidence in his abilities. Also the Mavs should trade Smith now while his value is high and get a person who will actually play well with Luka.

it's actually the first game back from injury for smith and personally i think he has good chemistry with doncic. smith is also a sopho and has shown he belongs, so i wouldn't be so black and white on him.. he doesn't have extremely negatives like a ball does and dallas basically started rebuilding last year.

I didn't know he was injured. As a Mavs expert :lol I guess I am being too critical, but the mistakes I'm watching him make tonight are ones that are coached out of a player in high school tbh. I would get benched if I were to continuously drive in the lane with no plan, jump in the air with no real person to pass it to, and then turn the ball over. He's young I know but these are just dumb mistakes that 14 year olds make and probably aging Rick Carlisle. It's only one game and like you said he is coming off an injury, but I wasn't impressed with him last year and that may be clouding my judgement.

Question for people who watch the Mavs - Does it make sense to keep giving Dirk minutes? The one time I watched him play this season it looked like he could barely move. He isn’t much of a threat on offense this season other than as a spot up shooter and his defense is obv a major liability.

I watch them since i live here ...
Dirk is playing due to legacy and what he means to the city ...
bringing only title in almost 20 years (tI think stars won one in last 20 for cowboys its been 25 plus)

[Jeremy]

I’m not saying Doncic is not a good basketball player (just overhyped). I am saying I would rather have Ayton (especially on the Suns). Doncic has been a professional basketball player for years, and could very well already be close to his peak level of performance. On the other hand, Ayton will likely continue improving for years to come. Just by the end of this season, Ayton could very well be ROY over Doncic.

I understand most people have no reason to follow the Suns, but Ayton continues to improve in all aspects of his game. He totally dominated the entire overtime last night, on the defensive end. Suns are 5-2 in their last 7 games, Mavs are 1-6.

The combination of Ayton and Booker would actually be something to be excited about for Suns fans except it’s impossible to get excited about the Suns as long as Sarver is the owner. It’s the first time in the franchise’s history that it has an all star talent at center and a prolific scoring wing on the same team but they’re going to find a way to fuck it up.

Holy shit the Mavs won the jackpot.

This kid is gonna be a top 5 player of the 2020's decade tbh.. almost every time he steps on the court he looks like he's playing chess and the other 9 guys on the court are playing checkers.. his IQ is that high.. and that's at 19 without being fully adjusted to the NBA.

Passing and vision is as good as LeBron.. the rest of his offensive game reminds me a lot of Paul Pierce the way he plays at his own pace and has real deceptive quickness and athleticism. Uses his body real well to like PP. Then he has a money 3 ball as well which in todays NBA is as valuable as having A-grade athleticism. He's really good on D too due to his smarts and quick hands.

Knew he'd be special.. but didnt think he'd be this good or make it look this easy.

I do like Ayton. He just sometimes seems like he doesn't care. Especially on defense. I can see him develop into a really good offensive center. Scoring 25 and grab 12 rebounds per game is not gonna surprise me in the future. But it's also easier for him than for a guard/forward like Doncic. There are like 3 great centers in the league, while the guard position is full off stars and for Luka to play as he is playing is really impressive.

Ironically DJ is a perfect fit for Doncic but he obviously has a beef with him. I expect that to end though the more that Luka dominates and proves himself. Dirk needs to be a player coach at this point in his career and just be constantly in Luka's ear and teaching him his move set. Tbh he's going to be a very dangerous player once he learns how to consistently get to the line the way he has been recently. Atlanta must feel beyond stupid.

He's only 20 years old, and occasionally shows flashes that he could be really good, don't think it would a good idea to trade him now. Not convinced he isn't a fit, they played only what, 25 games together? IMO way to early to call for a trade. He just has to adjust to a different role. Before he got injured I think he was playing pretty good for a stretch of games. This game he was also playing well till the last minute or so.



Ironically DJ is a perfect fit for Doncic but he obviously has a beef with him. I expect that to end though the more that Luka dominates and proves himself.
I thought that too for a while in the beginning but now I think it's not true. Like I think it was the Houston game where Luka sucked the whole game except the last 3 minutes and he said DJ kept encouraging him throughout the whole game telling him to keep his head up. But DJ isn't exactly a perfect fit, he would be if he also had at the very least a midrange shot. Like you said it would be better if Luka got some shooters around him, that includes the center.

[DAF86]

I figured those “freeze out” rumors were BS, but there’s times where Deandre seems genuinely reluctant to give the ball to Luka.

I'm watching the game right now. DeAndre would rather risk turning the ball over passing it to another guy than just giving it to Doncic after grabbed rebounds.

[Raven]

I figured those “freeze out” rumors were BS, but there’s times where Deandre seems genuinely reluctant to give the ball to Luka.

so far their chemistry looked pretty good to me, as a matter of fact i think most of his success this season is due to doncic's passing, but it's starting to look like a real thing now.

[AaronY]

OP's threads should stay at the border. That's what happens when you label a rookie a bust a couple weeks into the season like a dumbass :lol

Expect OP to move the goalpost. This thread will eventually no longer be about Doncic not being a bust, but about any other potential shortcomings like playoff success, individual accolades etc.
He switched it to the guy having an attitude atm but yeah. Basically he dont like em but he's not exactly sure why yet..still working on the reason

Sacto too I know they did not wanna take ball out of Fox's hands ...but with fox speed and Luka's jumper that would have been one helluva combo

[R. DeMurre]

Because Dirk can ring without TD, and all by himself, just like 2003 TD did. Manu without TD will be like Kobe without Shaq/Gasol.

I remember people saying the same thing about the 2004 Olympics...

[Isitjustme?]

why is manu > dirk considered a shit take? i'd say it's a pretty captain obvious take, not sure what's controversial about it..

:lol

[Jeremy]

Who cares? You don't look in the direction of the bench and mouth that when shit doesn't work out. I've also read that he barks back at Carey when he gives him the business for some of his stupid plays. The media actually tried to paint it out as a positive, like "look how fearless he is barking back at his HOF coach!".

That's another reason I'm glad we didn't pick him--his attitude.

Here was a scouting report on him before the draft:


— Very immature

— Not mentally or emotionally prepared to play in NBA right now​

— Entitled

— Full of himself

— Not liked by teammates

True! Actually forgot about him for some reason.. his numbers were great.. but i think so far Doncic has been slightly better.

Griffin: 22.5-12.1-3.8 (.549 TS%) 38.0MPG, 105.5 ORtg 107.4 DRtg, 30-52 WL record.
Doncic: 19.6-6.5-5.0 (.567 TS%) 32.5 MPG, 107.3 ORtg, 107.4 DRtg, 17-19 WL record.

[Will Hunting]

Say whatever you need to say to rationalize it. Ayton/Bagley/Trae are all fine young players. Mavs fans are all very content with how the draft went, it’s Suns/Kings/Hawks fans who are autistic screeching about it :lmao
I agree that he sounds butthurt but :lol putting Ayton in the same class as Trae Young or Marvin Bagley. He’s averaging 17 and 11 (and he’s doing so at a ridiculous efficiency). If Doncic weren’t having such an unreal rookie season Ayton would be getting a lot more hype, Trae Young and Bagley are having pretty good but not spectacular rookie seasons.

The next few draft classes look like they’re going to suck ass, I wish the Suns sold out to somehow get Doncic and Ayton on the same team.

[Mark Celibate]

:lol 15-3 at home but 2-16 on the road.

[Will Hunting]

I wasn’t meaning thay Ayton was on their level, he’s clearly ahead of them and could definitely end up being the best player in this draft. If Dallas had the top pick I would have wanted them to take Ayton over Doncic too tbh. It’s more what I’m seeing online where Suns/Kings/Hawks fans are all more interested in shitting on Luka than rooting for their own guy.
Yeah that’s retarded, it’s pretty dumb to dispute the fact Doncic is exceeding even the highest expectations people had for him.

Luka is playing a little bit better than I expected. The only thing I'm pissed about is him being crazily overhyped, and also the fact that he is getting all the media attention/recognition with Ayton getting none. I'll admit, though, that perhaps one reason it got out of hand was due to the hot start by the Mavs. It will be interesting to see where both teams/players end up at the end of the year.

It’s also pretty clear why Ayton isn’t getting attention, his team sucks. If he was the rookie who was making a bottom 5 team from last year a playoff contender he’d be getting the attention. Kevin Durant was megahyped pre draft but he got almost no attention his rookie year because his team sucked.

I don't know about that:lol..

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm not anti-Doncic, but there's literally no argument against him being overhyped:lol

He's the most hyped rookie in a LONG time..having a great season, no lie, but I'd say he's being overhyped when people are asking whether he's having the greatest rookie season ever(he probably isn't even in the top 10 off the top of my head)..

But to answer the OP's question, probably Luka Donutcic. I've never seen the media try so hard to lump a player in with all-time greats with dumb stats like "the only player alongside LBJ to have a 20/8/7 game at 19 years and 243 days". Or how about his latest "almost" stat? Almost became the youngest player to record a triple double. Maybe he'll be the youngest to almost make the playoffs too.

Seriously, he's much closer to Tyreke Evans (ROY, 20-5-5 rookie year) than he is to LeGOAT.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don’t see the hype for Doncic being that different from the Ben Simmons hype last year, and that dude literally can’t shoot :lol KAT and Porzingod both got crazy amounts of rookie hype too.

The media is sick of writing about the Warriors, they’re looking for anything else to distract them, and Luka’s their guy at the moment.

Porzingis, yes, but that's because he plays for the Knicks..any player from NY or LA gets that type of treatment..Doncic gets more hype than those other guys you named got IMO, especially on social media..

There are 2 reasons for it IMO:

1- Everything is exaggerated in the social media era, whether it's good or bad

2- A LOT of big basketball media was in on Doncic before he joined the NBA, so there's been a lot of "I told you so" about him

I don't think there's anything wrong with his hype and I disagree with Fkla about him being nothing special(he's been legitimately elite for a rookie), but I can see what that Suns poster was referring to IMO..

However, Ayton's lack of hype has little to do with Doncic..the Suns are a complete embarrassment, it's tough to find anything positive about them, I think it's as simple as that..

[Will Hunting]

I don’t really understand why the Suns are so bad. Devin Booker, TJ Warren and Deandre Ayton should be enough to be a competitive team. Sarver is just such a toxic owner and he’s treated so many good coaches like shit that no one wants to work for him anymore.

If they still had Gentry or Hornacek as their coach I think they’d be contending for a playoff spot.

It is definitely Sarver. But it's not just coaching. He can't/won't hire experienced GMs either. We literally have zero point guards on our roster. We have two rookie combo guards and a veteran combo guard (Jamal Crawford). That's it. We have nobody who can actually make plays and distribute the basketball. We can't even make entry passes to Ayton or find him on pick-and-rolls. If he had a point guard like Nash he would probably be averaging 25 points as a rookie.

No experienced GM wants to work for him, he’s got such a bad reputation as an owner who likes to meddle and force the GM to do stupid shit. It’s beyond the point of no return too imo, he’s done damage that can only be reversed with a new owner.

And what you said is why Ayton is so impression imo. He’s putting up 17 and 11 on a complete clusterfuck of a team.

Who said Barnes is better? Him not being as good as Donutcic doesn't mean he's a cancer or that he has no business taking a crucial shot. I do think Barnes is better at getting off his own shot. He has his fadeaway in the post which he can basically get off whenever he wants. Anything off the dribble should be Donutcic all the way.

They're different types of players that can both be effective in their own way. You're just a Slovenian homer that wants to see Donutcic be the hero at all times.

of course I want Doncic to succed, but if he wasn't their best player I wouldn't want him to take the most important shots. Just as I didn't want Nesterovic to take clutch shots when he was a Spur. It doesn't make a difference if he's from Slovenia or not. Luka also has the best % in the NBA in the clutch situations, so yea I do want him to get the ball when the game is on the line.

Don't get me wrong I don't think Barnes sucks, but he is selfish. He makes a lot of stupid plays and sometimes tries way too much. I also wouldn't mind him be a Spur, cause Pop would probably make him more team oriented and the Spurs do need a SF.

[apalisoc_9]

Doncic is the most unathletic euro Ive seen in a very long time. Crazy how hes better than all of them.

I mean you look at guys like Hezonja, Krucus, etc. Every euro looks more athletic than him but hes somewhat better.

Marc Cuban is gon a sign Vuc and the Dallas mavs will become Americas darling.

what i'm saying is if he plays at this level for his whole career and is a 20-6-6 guy with clutch shooting, then thats still a very good career typically worthy of a #3 overall pick.

Tyreke Evans had a 20-5-5 rookie year. He didn't end up being the next big thing.

I honestly still don't see it with Donutcic. He doesn't suck obviously but he's being hyped up like he's this sure-fire future superstar and I haven't seen anything that suggests that yet. He doesn't have a go to, unstoppable move that he can revert to whenever his team needs a bucket. I don't think he can effortlessly get his shot off whenever he wants. Yeah yeah I know he's been clutch but long term I don't trust the way he's gotten those buckets--they still seem like low percentage shots to me. He's not an elite, relentless slasher either. Unathletic. Dallas won't make the playoffs this year but I think he'd struggle with playoff level defense, tbh.

i see what you're saying, but the way i see it, his footwork and defensive breakdown recognition is miles above anyone except the harden types, and if that is the case, he'll never have trouble getting his shot off, especially with a release as quick and clean as he has. His step back 3, is the definition of a go to play and it has been automatic. In the future, he'll get a ton more points off the pick and roll and at the ft line.

[Dirks_Finale]

It seems you are the only one not seeing how good he is. I doubted this pick myself, and was pissed they gave up Trae and next year's pick for him on draft day. And clearly i was wrong.

Mavs were 12-25 at this point last year. 18-19 this year with a sterling home record. I hope you don't honestly think DeAndre Jordan is the reason for this marked improvement? A guy who cant create his own shot or space the floor in this day and age of high octane offense. So Doncic is not putting up empty-calorie stats like Evans or any other example you pull from.

He gets off his own shot whenever he needs to do with a deadly step back move.

And he does not fear the moment. Late in the 4th he wants the ball and even demands it at times. Those players don't wilt under playoff pressure defense.

He does have that baby, rookie fat and if he sheds it, as expected, I think he is a 25-6-6 player. Not too many of those in the NBA.

Ayton is damn good on offense and yesterday it was really sad to see him play with 4 scrubs and no one passed him the ball. I know he was in foul trouble but he should get more shots, especially with Booker out. But yea, it's clear that Luka is right now the best rookie. He's is also the only rookie that is the leader of the team. It's pretty weird that a 19 year old is the most consistent player on the Mavs.

[monosylab1k]

Yeah, Ayton’s gotta demand more touches. Not like anyone on that team, aside from Booker, has the clout to tell him no. I see games where he’s only got like 4 attempts through 3 quarters. No way he should be doing that.

[monosylab1k]

Also pretty funny how pre-draft the knock on Luka was “:lol he played in Europe against doughy 40 year olds, no way he can adjust athletically to the NBA :lol” but now that he’s playing great, the excuse is “:cry he’s been a professional since he was 16, OF COURSE he’s better than other rookies :cry”

[HarlemHeat37]

Looks like he's going to start in the ASG:lol

Congrats, Doncic is now 1-2 against Ayton.
O & 50!!!

[Will Hunting]

Yeah, Ayton’s gotta demand more touches. Not like anyone on that team, aside from Booker, has the clout to tell him no. I see games where he’s only got like 4 attempts through 3 quarters. No way he should be doing that.
They don’t have a point guard or anyone who can set the offense up for that matter, and they also have a coach who’s clueless, but yeah the knock on Ayton is his lack of a type A personality.

If he ever develops a higher intensity level and starts demanding the ball he’ll be averaging 25 PPG.

A 19 year old kid is literally the most clutch player in the league. Not just “clutch”. Not “he’s hit some clutch shots”. He’s already the #1 guy who you want taking a last shot. This is insane.

saw him butst up Golden state he is not just doing it aginst bottom of the west ...
his game vs spurs today was uneven especially his jumper but he made some great passes.

his defense is trash though ...
Dude has big cajones for a rookie.

Luka whines to the refs so much it even annoys me as a Mavs fan :lol He literally will stop playing and cry to the refs while everyone else is sprinting down the court. If I have any big complaints about Luka it is 10000% that. Get your doughy ass back on defense ASAP.

He seemed extra whiney tonight, I have seen him whine in other games, but he took it to another level tonight. This was a pretty terribly officiated game on both sides in fairness, still doesn't excuse his whiney bullshit.

Harden would have got at least 10 FT on those Doncic drives to the basket.

Nah, I caught that...it's El...
But wanted to address Luka's game...
He had flashes of brilliance and rookie moments too
But agree he needs to cut the whining or I'll stop enjoying his play... Can't be a hypocrite... I used to kill Blake and Cp3 for it...

[Monostradamus]

Harden would have got at least 10 FT on those Doncic drives to the basket.
Yeah the refs were terrible tonight for both teams. My issue is when Luka stops playing and argues with refs when everyone else is running down the floor to play defense. He’s gotta learn to pick his spots and not hurt his team with that.

[hater]

Kids good a little bit of a whiny bitch hut then again Cuban is his owner and his team are the Fags :lmao

I hope someone punches his weak chin a bit so he can learn some respect then he will probably go to next level

[hater]

Harden would have got at least 10 FT on those Doncic drives to the basket.

And a Spur would have gotten thrown out at the 3rd whine

[Texas_Ranger]

I hope that every Spurs fan not being a fan of Luka's bitching was also not a fan of Tim's shocked face every time a ref blew a whistle.

And yea, Luka should stop with it and get back to defense... even tho it doesn't really matter if he is in defense or not.

[clambake]

i'd bitch too if i had to watch harrison barnes.

what a dog.

[horseshue]

Let's face it, Spurs would've give up any player on currant roaster if they had a chance to get Doncic. Just look ar his game, i can not believe that he is 19.

[Will Hunting]

Trashews is worse imo, every time I’ve looked at a Mavs box score this year Trashews has shot below 40% with very little assists or rebounds :lol, I have no idea why he still starts.

But to be fair Timmy got back on D for the most part... But point taken...
Sure Luka sux on defense anyways, but still he gave Spurs a 4 on 5 a few times.
As much as I like Tatum...
and Mitchell has impressive moments...
Luka best prospect since Simmons, easily...
Can't defend but Simmons can't shoot...

Yup it's pretty incredible. Looks to the refs almost every time he tries to score if there's a defender on him.

LOL throwing a near max contract at a role player right after tearing his achilles. Gotta be the biggest WTF moment I have ever seen in free agency when Dallas offered that contract.

An offensive beast

[endrity]

An all-around beast. The idea that NBA teams are scouting draft classes to find the next Bruce Bowen is a myth.

You scout players to find the next elite offensive talent, because that is rarest of skills and the one guaranteed to turn you into a contender. Even joke defense that Harden played 2-3 years ago was still not enough to prevent Houston from becoming a Top 5 team in the NBA.

[Robz4000]

Tim's whining was not from day one if I recall. At least he had some trophys in hand before he got "surprised face". Plus, he was always right. Luka is just starting out in the league and he's pretty bad.

[Texas_Ranger]

His last three games were pretty bad. Its nice that he still manages to put up good stats at the end, but the shooting has been off. He needs to stop shooting threes all the time. While struggling on offense I think his defense was pretty good this last couple of games.

[Barfunk]

With the rule changes, the legends suddenly all retiring and the system evolutions, we now have an environment that is resulting in about 5 potential all stars per year. Pretty sick..

Not all all stars are created equal someone you once called Dbust... Might make it. And having just an all star in the grand scheme don't mean shit. COUSINS, Wall, Beal, fat gasol etc all have made all stars but don't mean shit. To win a chip you need a superstar and most seasons more than one unless you 2004 Pistons

It seems really hit or miss, at least the last few years.

I think the top 4 picks from the last draft would have all been the best prospect if they were in the 2017 draft and they all have superstar potential. I think they’d each be the top prospect in next years draft too seeing that a more athletic version of Brandon Bass is currently considered the top overall prospect.
