Luka Doncic is a BAAAAD MAN

Yes, the Celtics have two All-Stars, but they also have a losing record for the first time since they were 1-2 after falling to the Dallas Mavericks last night, 110-107.

This absolute mess of a season has been disappointing, frustrating, and infuriating (give me all the negative adjectives) with countless ugly losses to subpar competition. Still, in a match-up of .500ish teams, you have to tip your cap to Luka. Dude hit a three to retake the lead with 15 seconds left in the 4th quarter, then hit a game-winner essentially as time expired. Very rare!
Via: ESPN According to ESPN Stats & Information research, only one other player has hit a pair of go-ahead 3s in the final 30 seconds of a game over the past 25 seasons. Doncic joined the exclusive company of journeyman guard Dan Dickau, who accomplished the feat for the New Orleans Hornets in a Jan. 22, 2005, win over the LA Clippers.
Now I'll be the first to admit I don't watch a ton of non-Celtics games, and even when I do, they're usually on TV2 muted because I have to be looking at multiple screens at all times; I've seen Luka play before, but not a ton. Holy shit, what a final 30 seconds for that guy. THAT'S what a superstar does in the clutch. I apologize for not using the proper accents in this blog. Knowing Weebly, I am not tempting fate and having a blog full of hieroglyphics because they can't handle diacritics.

Let's work backward before watching Luka push the Celtics below .500; the game was tied at 87 following a Time Lord put-back SLAM.

(side note: read that in styling of Time Has Come Today)
The Mavs went on a 14-2 run to take a 101-89 lead with 3:56 remaining. The C's weren't scoring, but when they did, it was pretty siiick between that Time Lord put-back and a Jaylen floater that would've hit the scoreboard if this game was played at Cowboys Stadium.

Celtics aren’t scoring but when they do it’s quite impressive. What a rainbow by the All Star.

At this point, I was considering sprinkling Celtics live ML since I knew the odds would be pretty favorable and eventually got it in after the Kemba four-point play.

Celtics live ML went from +550 to +400 by the time I dusted the cobwebs off the sportsbook app

After the Celtics called a timeout following a Jalen Brunson three, they went on a 16-3 run to retake the lead 105-104 following a Jalen Brown 13 footer.  It was super encouraging to see the C's fight back and make some clutch plays, but then Luka put Daniel Theis in a fucking blender to wash it all away.

Holy fuck Luka (even tho it was against Theis which makes it a tad less impressive)

The C's went down and tied the game on Jaylen's lay-up. I don't want Jaylen's late-game lead-taking and game-tying shots to get lost in the shuffle. V clutch from JB, even though I was screaming, they left too much time..which they did, although you could easily argue they just got beat by a fantastic shot.

Luka Doncic.

No underselling that. Luka is fucking nasty. Wow

31/10/8 with two clutch threes in the last 15 seconds. Dude ate all night. Not exactly a coming-out party for a guy who's won ROY and is a two-time All-Star, but my goldfish brain is focused on what happened recently, and Luka is a bad mother fucker. Just gotta tip my cap to one of the best young players in the NBA. 

□ LUKA.
□ CLUTCH.

The C's are right back at again tonight against Atlanta (which will be on TV2 because of the Season Finale of Name That Tune), hopefully, Trae Young-Garfunkel doesn't have a similar performance, and the Celtics can get back to .500. Gotta finish strong in these next five games before the All-Star break. I'll sign up for 19-17 right now. Even with 16 losses at this point, I still believe in this team. We just need 2-4 more pieces and Brad to start holding guys accountable, perhaps even raising his voice.
