Why are they desperate to make him one of the new faces? What would happen if he isn't one of the new faces? The NBA will fold or something?

Do you know what is better than "opinions"? Facts.

So why don`t you just post some facts from the series where you see plays where the league "made sure" that the Mavs advance?
In a series where Luka shoots less free throws in more playing minutes while shooting more FG attempts.

Mavs lose: Damn Luka sucks what a bum most overrated player ever
Mavs win: The league is rigged for Luka to win this series

Sounds like jealousy and hate to me.

Why did he play 39 minutes in a blowout if he’s injured?

Why is Joel Embiid playing regulation + OT minutes when he can barely walk? Maybe he's not really hurt?

Don't throw stones. Players play through injuries all the time.

If it were Embiid I'm guessing you'd say "heart and determination" :noway:

Not suggesting he isn’t injured, but if I were a fan of the Mavs, I’d be wondering why he’s still out of here when their team has a massive lead.

If you’re referring to Embiid playing all of the second half while injured, what a silly comparison. The match is still up for grabs, while the other wasn’t.

Which matchup was up for grabs and which one wasn't? Are you saying Mavs-Clippers was over? it was 2-2, unless you meant just the closing minutes while Sixers-Knicks was 3-1 before yesterday. I have no idea what you're saying.

I get Donic playing when the match is close, but still staying out there in the final quarter while up 25-30 points is tempting fate in further aggravating an injury. Anyway, not my team, but just seems silly given that the win is already in the books.

Well I agree there, Kidd does dumb things more often than not that's just another one of them.

Feel like that's a J. Kidd blunder. He makes questionable decisions all the time so not surprised.

The Clippers made a little mini run at the end of the 3rd, he played long enough to extend the lead in the 4th, and then sat the last 6 minutes. This is normal stuff.

Worth pointing out that the last playoff series the Mavs played before this series (WCF vs. GS), they were up 29 in the 4th of game 4 and had that lead cut down to single digits with plenty of time left. You have to put teams away. It was handled fine tonight.

I wasn’t questioning not playing at all. Even when the team up by 27 points with 7 minutes to go, I couldn’t believe he was still out there. Get the win in the books and protect your best players for the next game.
