Can Luka Stampede Through Chef's Poole Party To The Finals? | Mavs (#4) vs. Warriors (#3) WCF Thread

About the warriors. They can't beat the 96 bulls, 2001 lakers, etc. Not really a goat team. They were good for their era because they brought a new style. Since then all other teams have caught up. They'll never dominate again like they did in the mid 2000s, especially without a Durant caliber player. If the 96 bulls, etc. know their style and can prepare, they'll win in 4.

Lol. They couldnt sweep the Washington bullets but they will sweep the warriors? Lol

man why do some black people do this..... It's like every time there is a gifted white athlete in a primary black sport, some of yall take it as a threat or think the media is trying to push some "great white hope". Luka is just a gifted basketball player, he's made all nba 3 out of his first 4 years, that's not a narrative push that's a testament to his skill

i seen the reactions when Fury beat Wilder, these reactions towards Luka and Jokic sometimes just scream insecurity to me

no because even most white American fans tend to like the more athletic players which tend to be black. The media was pushing Ja much more than Luka this year

White people watch black people get murdered on camera and justify it but you think they aren’t biased when it comes to sports

I ended up not even watching, spent the evening with the kids.

I would say this, watching Luka play on television doesn't do him justice. What I mean is I went to a lot of Mavs games this season.

And I have NEVER seen a basketball player rather its middle school, JV, VARSITY, JUCO, D1-D3, NBA that cries and complains more than Luka. It's so annoying, like he stops and doesn't even run back on defense because he's always screaming at the refs, even going into halftime at games he does it. You can see it more in person when you can solely focus on him.

A lot fans at games scream at him and complain about the same thing. Also White America will take a win anyway they can get. Even though Luka is not american born some are trying to go with the narrative that he's the "New Larry Bird", I find it even more insulting that a Old Head like Shannon Sharpe calls him "baby bird".

Larry Bird was a DOG, and played great defense and way more than just a scorer. Luka has miles to go before that comparison is even negotiable in my book. People really need to really go back and watch Bird play.

It's just hard to be a Luka fan because he's so annoying. Yes he's gifted on offense. But he needs to hire a nutritionist this offseason and get in shape.

Go type this in r/mavericks and you would get roasted

Y'all new posters are corny. Go that way.

Lee was part of that lineup that made the run in the 4th, so it's a bit unfair to praise Moody and Kuminga, but not him.

But again, none of those guys should be counted upon in the WCF (Moody was particularly bad when he got minutes in the first half). It's why I told @Chabot College that Lee and Moody are the same because neither are pieces that are gonna move the needle and shouldn't be in the main rotation. Moody is far too inexperienced and Lee isn't talented enough. It's why I still don't believe this team is a contender because of all the middling pieces and lack of talent/experience they have. We're seeing how Poole is shytting the bed, which to be fair to him, is only natural given it's his first playoff run. It's Wiggins' first proper playoff run too. Klay is coming back from injury. Dray isn't who he once was.

They're better hope by some miracle Heat can win the ECF, because it's hard to see how they beat the Celtics.

Agree with every point here
With steph playing the way he is the only advantage the warriors have of experience from the three +looney

Moody plays with more poise and control than Lee.. Lee is always trying put out some Matthew dellavadova hustle and ends up doing dumb shyt. Loses the ball, makes bad passes, overcommits on D, misses layups and floaters because he's moving too fast.. I feel like Moody is way more under control.

Of course those guys aren't the ones to win the game, but when you need the bench, I'd take Moody all day over Lee.

And my point is, you shouldn't be relying on either player when you're a supposed contender.

 

[GPBear]

Steph, Klay and Dray have made it to the Finals* for six consecutive seasons. Pretty damn remarkable achievement.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

And yet nxggas still can't acknowledge how historically great they are. We won't see it again for a very long time.

I agree.. but as a Warriors Fan.. it drives me crazy to see Lee take the court. That is a very Biased opinion, but one I'm comfortable with

I expect the warriors to close them out in a blow out next game.

I am a luka fan and watched the mavs growing up but i dont see how they can win 3 games in a row against this team. The best they can do is take it to a game 6.
