Doncic with 34/9/11. Through 3 quarters.

Yeah Doncic is pretty special. If I’m the Hawks, I’m kicking myself in the A.

They're pretty happy with Trae.

Yea but if I had a choice, pretty sure I’d draft Doncic over Trae.

The Hawks did get a lottery pick as compensation for sliding down. It's unfair to judge the trade as a straight up swap even though Reddish looks garbage so far.

I actually disagree.  Generally it's the best player in the trade is what is remembered, not the picks/filler.

It's not necessarily fair but I tend to agree with this.

I mean even if Cam Reddish works out....

If Doncic is a MVP caliber player and Trae/Reddish are just all-stars then it was still a massive massive mistake by the Hawks. They chose to build around Trae instead of Luka and that looks to be a bad decision in my eyes.

Of course the Suns/Kings made even worse mistakes in that Ayton and Bagely haven't even flashed as much as Trae/Luka yet.

Lakers once again getting helped out by the refs with bad calls down the stretch. I wonder if the league will also try and justify this bad call, too 🙄

doncic is MVP caliber as of today

Hes breaking so many records that he's a lock for the hall if he simply sustain this level of play. If he sustains this level of play, he will pass Durant in terms of all time forward stat rankings.. If he keeps growing, he can be considered a top 10-15 all time player of the game of basketball. This is how good doncic is. He's on pace to surpass Bird is what I'm trying to say


Imagine if the kings sucked as bad as they were supposed to suck. We could have inserted doncic with hayward Tatum and brown as our core for the next decade. Dynasty right there

We are witnessing greatness.

Quote from: NBA✔@NBA
✨ @luka7doncic (35 PTS, 10 REB, 11 AST) becomes the 1st player in @NBAHistory to record a 35-point triple-double in 25 or less minutes played! #MFFL

Quote from: ESPN Stats & Info✔@ESPNStatsInfo
At 20 years-265 days old, Luka Doncic is the youngest player with consecutive 35-point triple-doubles.

Oscar Robertson was the previous youngest at 22 years-34 days old in December 1960.

Joe Ingles at 32 looks much worse now that he comes off the bench.

Utah has no 1. defense (bravo!), but their 23rd offense will tailor their season.
They must get better at that end if they are truly ambitious.

It would also be nice if Detroit can beat Milwaukee tonight.

That might be the craziest ending of a regular season game I've seen since T-Mac beat the Spurs.
