F the play-in we are missing the play-offs. Empty stat games from Luka are a gut punch and Ky not being assertive once Luka is out is another huge problem.
Starting to notice all of the contenders tend to have a few frontrunners like Celtics have KP and white. We need our own, we just let position of advantage slip away in the blink of an eye.
Forget key matchups the NBA now is clearly about winning key narratives. Just as ESPN was coming around the idea of Luka and Kai doing special things, start laying goose eggs.
It's getting to the point where we need a 2022 resurgence just for the Media to recognize they fucked up on the MVP and 10 years down the line people are going to be asking why the fuck Luka didn't get a MVP in 2024 like people do with 2017 Russ, or 2006 Nash MVP that have a lot of people asking why they got it over their contemporaries. Or I guess even people having buyer's remorse over last year's MVP, but Embiid and Jokic was a tossup
If he loses MVP after being a top 5 seed on an injury ridden roster then maybe 10 years down the line the narrative might shift to him being robbed of one. But for that to happen he needs to have a title to his name just to sway the media towards him. If he remains without a chip, god that narrative and discourse would be ugly.
At this point, f the media and the narrative. MVP is gone just salvage what's left of the season. Stay afloat to get out of the damn play-in and stay healthy enough to make some noise in playoff. Cannot afford to waste a historic season and fizzle out of the play-in, which if we are honest could happen. Just another 2022 type run with west wide open would set the platform for next season.
I meant the whole game, kept in it by Luka and then Kai late, had we won it would have glossed over the deficiencies. At least now J midd is forced to make changes.
Do not let them leave that building till they hit 10 FTs in a row.
Absolute criminal choice of punjabi songs by the AAC DJ.
Opponent 1-14 and still just 8 pt game.
Basketball gods could not stand the idea of Luka being a 80% at FT line.
Anthony Davis of ICT...smh.
Dante with that strong Aussie-Brit accent.
Grab that Luka, ffs statpad for all we care.
Winning with luka posting sabonis stats might not be so bad after all, hmm interesting......
Grab the effin rebound, be done with it and we pretend this game never happened.
Maxi and THJ will be the end of this season.
THJ minutes are going to be brutal.
F around and find out territory now.
Top contender for weirdest game of the season.
They way this team blows leads needs to be studied. No team is ever out of it against us.
Cummo not the brightest is he? WTF was that, poor Carey deserved a 100.
Oh he knows what he's doing. Wins over personal milestones.
Win was never in doubt was it?
Dude left so many triple dubs on floor this season and suddenly he cares. But we'll take history.
Luka's ceiling and floor is his own mind. Kid genuinely needs some mental coaching would do wonders for him.
Luka has checked out of Dallas.

Feel sorry for Gafford.
Love to see the crowd so happy and merry while their teams' season unravels right in front of them.
Loved the statpad at the end. Try earlier next game may be we can win it.
Serious question. Do you guys think this team practices together and run drills?
No way. It's by design that players like DJ and pj are shot chuckers. Midd doesn't know better, they just don't get enough touches to get rhytm.
Sign players and turn them into 3pt chuckers. Surprised gafford wasn't turned into one.
Starting to notice all of the contenders tend to have a few frontrunners like Celtics have KP and white. We need our own, we just let position of advantage slip away in the blink of an eye.
Blowout to mauling. Arrest Midd and Lord Timmy .
They have everyone and we basically have just Lu-kai. Clearly looks like circled game on calendar for these guys. On to the next one.
Just cannot string a few decent possesion on defence.
That THJ green light will be the end of us. Dude surgically manufactures cte shots.
There needs to be a medical insurance for the THJ experience.
FFS Just keep separation man. Pesky Raptors team won't go away.
We really can't catch a break. Go on a win streak. Start turning heads. Even the media starts giving us respect. Immediately go on a losing streak.

17-7 to win at least 50. Fight narratives, abysmal coaching and current favorites showing no signs of slowing down.
Just checked the remaining 24 games and we can at best take 12-13 if we play serious.
lost a game we were never supposed to win.
Up 10 with 4 but weren’t supposed to win. Are us erious
I meant the whole game, kept in it by Luka and then Kai late, had we won it would have glossed over the deficiencies. At least now J midd is forced to make changes.
That dude got fleeced out of that $500.
Thank god luka won't be winning the MVP. The discourse would have been so nasty.
Maybe they did, but had no good offers.
Man, that's depressing as hell.
Should have shopped around for Timmy. Timmy Sr talks a lot for his son who plays damn near plays cte ball.
Definitely 30/40 runs shy here sadly.
We have like 1 decent stick left.
Lol and you think india swinging for the fences was going to win them this match? 1 boundary 1 wicket. They can't even defend 1 ball.
TBF it is going towards a 150 all out regardless.
He's on the squad. Once gone put this up on the rafters.
Potentially 3-1 road trip wasted. Will be lucky to go 1-3 after this shit show.
Lukas MVP chances are still there
Don't know man. He's got to fight narratives, team record (need at least 50), THJ andJ kidd.
I feel for Rehan though he would have been handful here
Handful in helping us close the series on a canter.
Hate to say it but the moment lead ticks over 200, it's joever.
