NBA Twitter is buzzing over Luka Doncic, the Mavs' thrashing of the Grizzlies, and Ja Morant.

 


The Dallas Mavericks' victory over Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday sent NBA Twitter into a frenzy. After all, what was meant to be a showcase contest between the league's best young players ended up being a one-sided contest.

Doncic eliminated the Grizzlies and did it with just three quarters. He didn't have to do much beyond the first quarter either because of his explosive performance, which included 21 points, four rebounds, and three assists. With that explosive start from the Slovenian sensation, the Mavs jumped out to a 39-17 lead and never looked back en way to the 137-96 triumph.

With 32 points, seven rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and two blocks, the Mavs star had a strong final performance. Morant, in contrast, had a difficult day for the most part and finished with just 20 points and four assists.

Of course, Doncic's performance left NBA fans speechless. Some people couldn't help but notice how Luka is currently outperforming Morant in their early career matchups.







How about the relationship between Christian Wood and Luka Doncic? The playmaker made numerous passes to the new Mavs big man, who benefited from them by scoring 25 points on 50.0 percent shooting and grabbing 12 rebounds.




The Mavs have moved to 1-1 on the year, and to be honest, if it weren't for their epic collapse against the Phoenix Suns in the season opener, it may now be 2-0. But it's obvious that Luka Doncic and company have grown from their mistake.

Despite the fact that the season is still young and there is a lot of basketball left to be played, the Mavs' future is unquestionably bright in the wake of their most recent triumph over Ja Morant and Memphis. Even though it was only one game, the team's confidence was greatly increased.

WHY DRAYMOND GREEN SHOULD BE SUSPENDED BY THE WARRIORS?

  The Golden State Warriors attempt to defend their title has gotten off to a difficult start as the 2022–23 NBA regular season draws nearer. The team has been looking for positives amid a cloud of doom that has hung over their preseason. While there have been some, such as James Wiseman's health and the growth of Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, and Patrick Baldwin Jr., the team is currently dealing with a crisis that coach Steve Kerr called "the biggest we've had since I've been a coach here." Draymond Green, who made the unwise choice to hit teammate Jordan Poole at a Warriors practice last week, is to blame for this. Green said he was in a "very, very horrible state emotionally" after the event and voluntarily left the squad to allow everyone to recover. Green received a fine for the incident, but Kerr said he wouldn't be punished. Kerr claims that he will resume practicing on Thursday and is anticipated to participate in the Warriors' preseaso

Ja Morant, a guard with the Grizzlies, was dismissed for "questioning the integrity of the officials."

  Many Memphis Grizzlies and basketball fans expressed their astonishment on social media when Ja Morant was dismissed at the conclusion of the first half on Saturday. Crew head referee John Goble gave an explanation for why Morant earned both of his technical fouls in a pool report following the game. Late in the second quarter, Morant received his first technical foul as he tried to snag a pass and seemed angry that a foul had been called. According to Goble, Morant was given a technical foul for cursing at an official. The most contentious technical was the second one, which resulted in Morant's expulsion. With 42.3 seconds remaining in the second quarter, the referees dismissed Morant for what seemed to be a chat with a spectator. Morant received his second technical foul for raising concerns about the impartiality of the umpires, according to Goble. The complete pool report on why Ja Morant received his second technical foul is available here. For using obscenities at an offic

After LeBron James and company mess up against the Warriors in the season opener, the Lakers start to act like clowns.

  The Los Angeles Lakers' 123-109 road loss to Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night was the saddest display that Hollywood could have concocted for Lakers supporters. The Warriors dominated the Lakers on both sides of the court, which gave NBA Twitter the perfect opportunity to make fun of and criticize LeBron James and the Lakers. With 27 and 31 points, respectively, Anthony Davis and LeBron James led the Lakers, but it was clear that they weren't getting any help from the rest of the team. The only other non-AD starter to score more than five points was Russell Westbrook, who finished with 19 points. Only eight points were scored by Patrick Beverley and Lonnie Walker IV together on 3-of-12 shooting from the field and 1-of-8 from beyond the arc. Overall, the Lakers' outside shooting was abysmal as they only made 10 of their 40 long-range tries. The Warriors, on the other hand, made just 16 of their 34 attempts from beyond the arc. The 2022–23 NBA se
