  2. Luka tryna stat pad that 30 was hilarious. Too bad he couldn’t extend the record

  6. Now that’s the kind of game you love to see after a super long funk. Came swinging right out of the gate and never let them close up.

  7. will be very interesting to see how people manage to twist this win into a bad thing

    i was told the season was over and we should tank after a bad stretch

  8. Luka wanted one last shot, you could see him running back out after the clock stopped.  🤣

  9. Our centers today were on fire, we’ve come a long way from staring Powell to get here. Let’s enjoy it boys!

  12. Gafford + Lively tonight: 42/14/4/3/4 on 20-21 shooting in 43 mins. Absolutely ridiculous.

  16. To me one of the most perfect games I’ve seen them play,and sad that Lukas streak is over

  17. Dereck Lively and Gafford played perfect. What a difference two legit bigs can make.

  18. It is the first day of Ramadan, so it does take a little adjustment for Kyrie to get situated. So he deserves a pass. Other than that great game!

  19. *weeps softly at seeing Mavs centers dominate the paint after decades of ineptitude

  20. 42 points 14 rebounds 4 blocks from the center position. Plus assists and steals.

    What a beautiful thing.

  25. 44 pts from Gafford and Lively against the #3 rated paint defense in the league. What a dominant display from the big fellas, love it

  26. Chicago Bulls cared more about stopping Luka’s record from extending than they did about winning the damn game ahahahahaha

  29. This is the first time since the OKC game, I have seen a good game from the Mavs, especially on the offensive end. I guess we should run small ball next right? Right Kidd?

  30. Dare I say kidd now understands that one of Lively or Gafford should be on the floor at all times???

  33. Just here to say that our centers (Gaff & Lively) combined for 42 points, 14 rebounds, & 4 blocks tonight.

  34. Funny seeing this team destroy another team in the paint for a change. Loving Gafford in the starting lineup.

  35. Nice little win streak. Hope we can continue it against the qarriors, and hopefully against the thunder and nuggets too, to keep the lakers at bay and hopefully get the 6th seed if possible.

  38. Good win. Thj being 10th man out was a good call. Still bricking with the only player negative on the +/-

  42. Great win. Luka did not get a 30 points Triple Double. This clearly proves Luka being the problem.

    That should be enough to get be a job as a NBA analyst isn’t?

  43. Gafford must love playing with Luka. It is insane to think he was leading the league in fg% playing with Poole.

    He is shooting 76.6% from the field as a Maverick. 59-77

  44. Gaffers needs to play 25 minutes a night. Anything less and Jason Kidd is a fucking moron.

  45. LOL that THJ was the only player with a minus (-3) in a blowout win. How fitting…

  48. I still don’t understand how Gafford and Lively were playing only few minutes when were losing lately so bad, maybe it took couple of horrific losses to make Kidd understand that our small ball lineup with THJ is a literal garbage.

  49. Luka tied the record for most consecutive 20 point triple doubles tonight (he tied it with Big O and MJ). The stat padding continues Wednesday lol. Although I don’t think he needs to stat pad points at all.

  50. if you would have told me in the offseason our two centers would go 20/21 from the field and it wouldn’t even feel that flukey I would’ve been jumping for joy. Gotta acknowledge the growth where we have it

    Luka puts up a gaudy statline and it feels like a ‘meh’ night for him volume 2461
