  3. The season from Health Hell.

    It’s what it is.

    I don’t understand why some fans are blaming Kidd for playing Luka too much, who else was gonna play PG.

  5. Man I’m proud of this team, but fuck the roster is not great, coaching ain’t helping, and we need to get healthy really quick

  9. We need to do everything we can to dump Tim off this team. I’ve seen this story play out way too many times.

  10. It’s not that people hate THJ as a person it’s just that we need to get rid of the dead wood on the squad. Anything that reminds us of failure from previous seasons needs to go.

  13. We didn’t double Sabonis at all, had Hardy on Fox, Luka played 46 mins on a back to back after playing 45 mins yesterday. Any of us could coach this team better. Fire Kidd. It’s time.

  14. THJ has given us some great moments. But man him being a traffic cone on defense and terrible basketball IQ is getting old.

  15. THJ had slowly brought me back in earlier this season but nope, he’s completely regressed back to his low IQ ways. His heater games are just not worth the boneheaded mistakes he makes when we need to play high quality basketball.

  16. Loss aside, i love how the Mavs were passionate and didn’t give up in spite of the huge score and talent gap. I don’t wanna say the word “Moral Win” but I’ll take this one over a blowout.

  19. Words cannot accurately describe the pure hatred I feel towards THJ. Motherfucking basketball terrorist is a good start

  21. fuck b2b’s fuck injuries thats the takeaway

    shoutout Grant Will. shoutout luka for being an absolute warrior

    trade tim

    fire Kidd

  22. Shouldn’t be surprised losing 2nd night of b2b with a banged up team. Really disappointing how this season has shaken out. The only positive I can take is maybe Grant is finally getting out of his head and becoming productive again

  23. Please trade THJ. His scoring cannot make up for his poor defense. He is incredibly inconsistent and has tunnel vision once he makes a few shots. He and Hardy are pretty much the same player which is pointless and not benefiticial.

    Please Nico. Find a good defensive wing for THJ. Please.

  26. We were down our second best player, and two important role players, versus a very healthy kings team. I’m not mad at this loss

  28. We need someone who can bring energy, rebound, play some defense and get to the line. We need OMAX out there! Even with him getting to the line we can play with better pace due to his athleticism. I’ll take some mistakes if it comes with a lot of upside. We need to change things up. Vote OMAX

  29. Hardy was so poor.
    I mean we don’t have choice to play anyone other than him.
    Tough times

  30. Thanks Timmy , and Kidd need special letter of thanks for playing him in clutch.

  32. My take aways, grant is a role player and it seems he’s back on a good streak, greens playing well, lively as we know is good, Luka is exhausted (second night of a back to back), THJ is going cold, hardy is not a rotation players and this team is injury ridden missing 3 starters.

  33. Team is incapable of string together success. No consistency. May’ve been a B2B but teams are 5-1 in those games against us when THEY are on a B2B. Every team is banged up. There’s no excuse.

  34. Breen was bragging about minutes guys had played going into second overtime. All of those numbers were below what Luka just played on both nights of a back to back.

  35. I don’t know what Kidd is doing when they come back out after the half but if I had to describe it, I’d call it ‘tanking’

  36. If Tim makes that 3 to cut it to 3… Could’ve, would’ve, should’ve… On to the next one

  37. Yet another game lost because Timmy is the worst defender in the entire NBA.

    I dont know how anyone on this roster can take Kidd seriously talking about needing to improve the defense while continuing to play this bum 30+ minutes a night.

    On the plus side more people are starting to realize just how trash Tim is, hopefully he gets moved soon.

  38. This was likely a loss anyways on a back to back.

    Why not just rest Luka instead of playing him 46 minutes in a loss?

    Then again I’m not the coach, Jason Midd is.

  40. Aside from THJ throwing the game, im not mad at this. b2b, kings had rest (and they are a decent team) and Luka played 90 mins in 2 days. Grants been showing up but he gave his all this game

    I hope Grant continues to shut up the haters because im glad ive never been on the “tRaDe GrAnT” boat. All Grant has to do is be more consistent

  41. Loved our no quit attitude on a b2b, but you could tell we were so gassed.

    Doesn’t tonight feel like it would have been a great night for OMax minutes? Really felt like we could use his youth and energy, especially with DJJ out?

    Grant finally making threes. His shot is all about arc, not that exaggerated forward step he seems to put on it sometimes.

    Another THJ lowlight, especially the 4th.

    Hate to say it but Kleber has to be the main guy you’re trying to get off of at the deadline.

    Hardy just can’t seem to put together an all around game. Some nice passes tonight and moments of good defense but brick central.

    Please get healthy boys, we are running out of games here.

  44. Side note, Sac had 12 more free throws including ridiculous techs for no reason

    Games hard enough with Kyrie out don’t need refs making it harder

  45. Responding to why Luka played 46 minutes tonight:

    “The game plan is to always try to keep him under 48 so um we did that tonight.” -Worst coach in basketball

  48. I think if we just had Exum this would’ve been a different game. But I’m noticing a pattern with THJ. He ruins so many runs and momentum!
