Last loss was obviously terrible and Luka had one of the worst games in his career.

BUT I am so glad he still shot 60% from 3 !

Reason being because I REALLY want to him to keep this up for the next 9 games,

so we can have solid sample size of 20 games.

When he is hitting his 3s he is that much better of an offensive player

and 43% from 3 on 10 attempts is elite!

Especially considering how many tough 3s he takes.

ONWARD!

    It just wasn’t his night. Something was completely off for him and yeah, it happens. Every superstar has those games, and plenty of them over the course of their careers. And like he said in the locker room after the game “it’s an 82 game season, bad games happen”.

    People need to stop looking at every game in a vacuum, like it’s the only game that matters. It’s a long season, we will lose many more games, but hopefully we’ll win even more than we lose by the end.

    Go Mavs!

    If he can hit 60% after an all-night team bender on Bourbon Street then we’re in a for a fantastic year

    There are three bits of silver lining:

    1. As you say, his 3P% somehow improved in his worst night in forever (while ~all the other averages tanked).
    2. The night will go less noticed than it usually would because of the extracurriculars on the West Coast.
    3. They have an opportunity to bounce back tonight. And they better whoop the Wiz.

    Team/Luka/coaches also better take this as a wake up call, not to be repeated for the rear of the season.

    Hoping he takes this putrid performance to heart and goes apeshit to grab this loss back. A 50 point triple double on the side would be nice

      Absolutely but honestly we all saw already he can go apeshit, in playoffs especially.

      I would rather have him shoot 38 % from a 3 in a season.

      As long as Mavs win at least 50 games of course.
