How Klay Thompson Has Has Made the Dallas Mavericks' Offense Better | ONE MORE THING

[@andrewakinsmusic]

The Luka injury sucks, but get him right, man. For this team to really be the class of the conference Luka needs to be Luka.

[@davantelive5390]

Luka needs to pass the damn ball and stop dribbling the air out of it

[@edouble9573]

In Kyrie we trust. Also just think 12 months ago we'd be relying on Grant Williams and THJ to get 15-20 points each but now we have PJ and Klay!

[@Velveteenvision]

Somehow THJ would go crazy when Luka was out and score 40pts hahah

[@Velveteenvision]

Let’s just hope Klay doesn’t have a game like the last away game vs okc when he went 1/11 Fgm and 1/8 from 3. I hope pj has a game like the okc game with 25 pts or was it 27? Either way

[@cognitivedisability9864]

This guy gets it, you gotta look at it with the perspective of the last season. This team is BRAND new.

[@iMacaroniCheese]

exactly man I think they were expecting too much from grant especially knowing we got him from celtics bench. I remember that at this point in time last ssn grant was shooting the light out for us.

[@younglightskin2685]

In Nico Harrison we trust

Western Conference Player of the Week upcoming for Kyrie - Book it

[@elsporko321]

This version of the Mavs has something no other has - plausible deniability. It's not Luka or nothing now. If they can comfortably win games where Luka only scores 16, they can win games where he sits. What a time to be alive.

[@mffl_7724]

I feel like previously on locked on mavs we would talk a lil more about the upcoming game like a preview tho of deal feels like y’all kinda stopped doing that but maybe I’m trippin.. been a long week

[@maferreira1984]

I'm not worried about Klay yet because I don't think he's in his "final form" in Dallas. I need to see him when Luka is back to being Luka reliably. Hopefully at some point Klay will be taking 10 threes a night (with at most 1-2 forced or heat checks) and hitting between 3 and 6 of them way more often than not.

[@noahohayon5927]

New analogy for Issac 😅: I know I sound like a broken record but…

[@Alex-xn8pq]

Klay is Klay so it's too early to judge his impact on this team. It is worth noting that Josh Green's three point percentage over the last two years (he's over 50% so far this year) is higher than Klay's is right now. It is malpractice that Klay isn't getting more shots than he has been getting so far. Shooters gotta shoot.

[@Idrxp-ew3lx]

Klay also has slow starts no?

[@BrothaSchwifty]

He’s been shooting this year. He’s just missing

[@angryallen9774]

Klay needs to come off the bench, not sure why anyone thinks the old Klay will ever come back. Dude has torn his ACL and Achilles tendon. They should have kept Derrick JonesJr..

[@vayduong6806]

You should watch the game aklay is still the same . He is 34 years. He didn’t party hard. He is a great guy he be fine

[@jonathansilal2669]

Thank Mavs should trade for Oubre or Caleb Martin by or at the deadline, spending one what happened with the 76ers & if they look to go in a different direction?

[@Jomiloju-xw6wg]

Oubre shoots almost 30% from three no thanks, we should get Tari Eason or toumani Camara or dosunmu

[@jonathansilal2669]

@You think rival rockets trading Tari to us? Oubre shot 32%, I mean didn’t DJJ do that, and he succeeded with the Mavs,My thing with the Mavs get an athletic wing now.

[@Jomiloju-xw6wg]

@@jonathansilal2669 i do like oubre but he has to be relatively cheap for it to make sense,there is no reason to believe is shooting will be more efficient yet, and i still believe the other options are still better

[@jonathansilal2669]

@ 7 mil this year only….

[@jonathansilal2669]

Herb Jones is another. But he would cost a 1st.

[@Moooo1666]

Luka out ofc against Denver A GAME WE NEED TO WIN

[@Bean2521]

Lukas out this game. It will still be good I feel confident we can win games without him(in a good way😂)

[@SDesWriter]

What in the hell makes you confident? Was it the 2pt win over OKC without either of their big men and Caruso? I’m sure taking 28pts, 8reb & 8 assists (plus quality ball control) out of the game won’t affect them at all….🙄

[@beastscale1892]

I'm looking more so for body language and the team competing than just wins. As let's be real here. Luka's post game and passing ability is needed against superstar matchups like Denver who got experienced offensive stars who know how to score. Defense and our bigs are going to be needed for every game now just to have a chance at victory. Klay being a consistent 3pt shooter can be the edge that gives us a lead. We'll see what this team is made off during this Luka time off. So Luka can rest and not rush himself back.

[@Bean2521]

@@SDesWriter U gotta have a feel for the game of basketball, understand the players skills and roles they have in the team. When star players are sidelined the chances for a “role player” to show his potential goes through the roof (Naji 👀 Pj 👀) Huge win against the nuggets!🔥

recorded last night

[@ryanduff457]

0-8 0 points in 23 minutes. This is the version of Klay Thompson the Warriors said "fine Dallas, give him 3 years and starter minutes." This is going to get way more painful. Have fun!

[@SilentpoetYTwatcher]

Is that a Zelda hat?

[@LockedOnMavericks]

No, but the Wings will have the power of the Triforce this year.

[@chipchipperson3683]

Nick and Slightly didn't mention Klay's OKC performance post game, avoided to even mention his name altogether. You should be able to critique your team, this blind fandom bs is getting weird.

[@Taurux_2]

thats because we expected this, we knew he would have horrible games way before he played first game, but more often than not he will play good, but its still early , give him until after all star to be critical of him thats out of respect to ignore his bad game and to make sure his mental health is ok, cause we know how klay takes everything mentally so imagine him seeing mavs fans on his ass after 1 bad game, come on

[@cognitivedisability9864]

@@Taurux_2 Klay nearly every season peaks after the allstar game, you gotta judge his whole season. Last year after the allstar break he was averaging some crazy like 20ppg on 42% from three.
