Everybody knew Dallas would be better thanks to Doncic and KP because lets face it they couldn't get any worse anyway so last year they got a bit better but this year with KP coming back we expected them to be much better, however nobody expected them to be 3rd in west so far, maybe at early days thanks to good schedule and all but now we are over 25 games into season and they are still third, with Doncic missing they might drop a few but playoffs are basically guaranteed for them.

Luka Doncic's injury isn't that serious and from the latest news I have seen he will be ready to get back on court after Christmas which is only 4 games. About Dallas being the 3rd seed this early on the season I don't see no surprised their especially when you think about the whole NBA having a major rebalancing when it comes to superstars going to other teams basically you won't see a big three anymore but all teams are now built with dynamic duos where a team like Dallas have a good chance of winning on most of their games especially when they have Doncic averaging almost a triple-double per game.

Three of the biggest shocks I have seen this year from teams is Dallas Miami and OKC. Everybody knew Dallas would be better thanks to Doncic and KP because lets face it they couldn't get any worse anyway so last year they got a bit better but this year with KP coming back we expected them to be much better, however nobody expected them to be 3rd in west so far, maybe at early days thanks to good schedule and all but now we are over 25 games into season and they are still third, with Doncic missing they might drop a few but playoffs are basically guaranteed for them.

Miami on the other hand got Butler and like Dallas we knew they would get better, I mean who wouldn't be better with Butler than without Butler but who could have guessed them being second in east with such a good record?

OKC was basically tanking as far as we saw, they had to trade PG13 so they went full tanking mode and gave Westbrook as well but right now they are the 8th seed, I am not saying they will be in playoffs because they are on a thing line there but I would have expected them to be dead last in the rankings.

Since his in the rehabilitation for his injury, I think fans are a bit worried if he still can make it to the MVP race or he will be left behind by his competitors. Since Doncic will still be nursing for his injury, his competitors will be ahead of him in terms of statistical points and that would be hard for him to coup up. Anyways, as long as he can return healthy, the Dallas would be regaining their morale for their goals.
He is missing a few games, he is still very much in the race. We are not even half the regular season. His competitors will also miss some games at some point during the season.

Yeah, more triple doubles and he could still lead the race for the MVP.
But I think it will be more than that. Luka might be really aiming for the championship and not just that award.
We see how he put a lot of effort into making game winning shots and also leading the Dallas team.

This is going to be an exciting playoffs if there will be no injuries with the stars.
Also to prevent so many reasons for a losing team.  Grin

Which is right, he still in the race and even he will missed some games and comeback with the same or much higher levels of stats the chance of being picked for the MVP race still have a very high chance. Luka's performances from those past games brings a heavy impact with the fans. This one of those criteria which will be considered. Better recovery no need to rush him up it's best for the entire franchise.

The overreaction by the fans shows how they feel for the young star player, they want to see him play because they are hopeful that Mavericks will be successful this season in making to the playoffs, and of course when they are on the playoffs they will not be just a heavy underdog as Luka is doing magical things that could give their team a possibility to upset a heavy favored teams.

I feel that but have they not played basketball before or seen other NBA players sprained their ankles? That is a very normal injury to receive such a reaction.

Who would not get worried with that sweet face of him?  Grin
The skills he have is already a plus to us. I love how he played already even before when he is not making those triple doubles.
My wife even told me that I already got a crush on him.  Grin

The guy is just really that good for people to hype his name. Dallas really made a good pick into which player will be the face for their team.
He just did some improvement and it is worth it.
I don't care if I am overreacting over all this things. I just want him back to see those good moves again.  Grin

Of course he will be back but he should take his time to come back to avoid aggravation on his injury. Maybe your wife also got a crush on the guy and not only you.lol.
Probably.lol

Its already been cleared out that he would come back to play on this month so it means it isnt really that a bad injury.
I cant blame that there are lots of fans whove been worried to this guy yet we have seen on how this fella performs on the
court.

He better take some time to fully heal before he comes back as he is an important piece on the team.
If he comes back this month, better, but if not, next year would be alright since they still have a good standing.

They are no. 3 now and with the games without him, if the team can at least make 50% win, then they would not drop a lot.
As long as they are in the top 8, the chance is still alive as for sure when Luka comes back, he will help the team to rise in ranking since the injury was just a sprain.

Since his in the rehabilitation for his injury, I think fans are a bit worried if he still can make it to the MVP race or he will be left behind by his competitors.
that could be one thing but he will be back soon and probably this month, so it's not really a big lose for him in the competition.
Besides I think one of the basis is the average and he got a good stats for that.

Since Doncic will still be nursing for his injury, his competitors will be ahead of him in terms of statistical points and that would be hard for him to coup up. Anyways, as long as he can return healthy, the Dallas would be regaining their morale for their goals.
I can't agree with this... I am not sure with my opinion but I think it's divided only on games played.

Townsend says that Doncic could return soon after Christmas, which would be great news.

This is good news for the Mavericks Fans, we will see him playing again and Mavericks with be back competing their usual way.

As expected. It is just a minor sprained ankle, nothing too serious. He can play in a week or two. Some just can't stop overreacting to simple injuries of superstars.


Fans showed love for what he's doing right now and all are eyeing for his quick recovery, He adds some spice where fans don't want to missed seeing
him playing alongside with his teammates. Entertainment and good quality of skills that really enjoyable when you are watching him inside and commanding the offensive attacks.

I love how Indiana played back then but without Oladipo it is just not enough by now.
Exactly, Indiana is a good team in the regular season but they aren't in the playoffs, they need oladipo who can carry a team to win.
We don't know if when he comes back he would still the same person we admire, you know coming from injury affects their confidence.

We might be overreacting with what happened to Luka but maybe we are just scared to see the Dallas not having that momentum back again.
Add the entertainment of course.
No doubt we are, obviously people were talking about Luka when the team wins and he record a triple double, that's how hype he is now.

Luka all of a sudden became an instant super star. One reason people are amazed of him because he is still very young and only second year in NBA. He looks like a veteran the way he plays. He is also a very smart player.

Indiana is a playoff team but not enough against the likes of Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Boston. I hope Oladipo becomes a better player. I love competition. Miami and Toronto are also showing something special this season.

LUCKILY THAT WAS A MINOR INJURY! At first look, it looked like a PG-like injury. Remember that injury people? That was one of the worst injuries NBA player could get. But on Luka's condition luckily it's not like that. We can't afford to lose another young player that has a high potential to hall of fame.

Not really, basketball players roll their ankles almost every other game, it's not even high sprain one and you can't in no way compare it to Paul George's injury. He literally snapped his leg in half. A fucking gruesome injury he missed quite a lot of time recovering, i'm sure Luka will be back within a month or so.



Yes, that is way too far to be compared. It was broken in half and it is not something good to see. Actually all injuries are so bad.
I remember one when Oladipo was injured. He was just running chasing down Siakam. He suddenly fell down in his knees.
We didn't even see something break but that was something awful when checked by the medical team. Ruptured quad tendon in his right knee according to them.

It almost killed me with sadness but thanks to this.

https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/1206043555560595458

It is just a sprain and the X-rays were negative.
Whew!
Streaks of wins and triple double might be stopped but as long as he is healthy then it is still good.
This is what I have been scared of from the start.
He had been putting a lot of minutes for the game and he needs to be rested.

Isn't it we have a discussions that we hope that he will be healthy for the remainder of the season so that we will continue to be amazed by Luka and this just happened.

The good thing is that it is not worst than we've thought, scary. IF it just a sprain then he can just rested it and heal it on time.

Yeah, I do remember that, I think it was just a couple of days ago. Accidents does happen though so we cannot just assume what the end will be.
It sucks, but that is physical sports so anytime this kind of things will happen.

Erghh. Don't really want to remember that.
His legs is broken in two pieces. But this one is really different and it does happen. It just looks really bad at the position of the camera.
