NBA: Doncic works miracles for Dallas: Without his numbers in Jordan it is a disaster

AndIn the 1989-90 season Michael Jordan was in his sixth season in the NBA with the Chicago Bulls. Hess Ernes scored 33.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists. in the middle. Some galaxy numbers that did not represent the first episode of 23, since “Bad Boys” in The Detroit Pistons beat them, with controversial tactics like literally hitting Jordan, in the Eastern Conference Finals. In the 2023-24 Luka Doncic is also in his sixth year in the NBA And its numbers…are better than Jordan's numbers: 34.7 points, 8.6 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game. As happened to the best player in history, he must perform miracles Because without the Slovenian his team is less than nothing.

Doncic, after his brutal 73+7+10, 28+17+10 and 45+15+9 tactics, missed the match between the Mavericks and the Western leader, the Minnesota Timberwolves.. The Texas franchise did not appear. They lost 121-87 in a confrontation that was not decided until the second half (48-52, 24). There, Karl-Anthony Towns (29 points) outperformed a Mavs team in which only four players scored more than 10 points. A matchup between the two greats – along with Gobert – was too much for Dallas. Josh Green 18 max wasn't worth it. In the table, they lost to Phoenix, which represents the threshold for direct qualification, with a score of 28-20 compared to 26-22 for Dallas. Minnesota continues to lead 34-14.

Without Doncic..

No one in the NBA reaches 100% night after night

Kyrie Irving

It's clear that without Doncic, as well as adding in the losses of their other two key pieces, Kyrie Irving and Derek Lively II, Dallas is completely down and they need their star. Even more so with Irving, because without them they have lost nine games to 11 wins. So far, they have been together in just 38 of 75 games this season.. “I don't want to make excuses,” Irving said. “It hurts. I don't think anyone in the NBA plays 100 percent every night, so I'm not going to make excuses.” For Dallas' ceiling, his combination with Luka is more than necessary.

Because Luka's level is in those Jordan numbers. Since his knee injury, he has been a torment for everyone else, scoring 41 points per game! He is at least 28 years old and has an impact all over the pitch. It was won, with more doubts Joel Embiid, in the front row of MVP candidates. Its ceiling has no limits. “This 24-year-old young man “He's breaking every record that comes his way,” says Mavs coach Jason Kidd.

The timber wolves were expelled

They run different paths The Minnesota Timberwolves, who have survived despite their star Anthony Edwards It remains at nine points. They are first in the West for the longest time, are 18-4 when they play at home and no one defends like them at 109 points per 100 possessions.

Chris Finch, the prodigy coach of the Wolves, did not detract from his team despite the Mavericks' absences. “One thing you should The preaching when you're a coach is to play to your standards no matter who the opponent is. We cannot adopt habits of neglect When it seems like an easy game. It is something to avoid. “It's a great test to continue building the advantage when we have it.”
