1. This year we are a clutch team in reverse

2. Lmfao being so bad in the clutch when we were elite last season is crazy.

3. Luka chuck shot would’ve been better than that

4. you guys wanted luka to start passing up those game winning shots, right??

5. Ty luka for not covering your man on that last defensive play goodjob

6. The vibes are in the toilet

7. wtf was that defensive possession

8. Luka cannot get caught ball watching like that man. Inexcusable

9. The mavericks were supposed to be my escape from the Cowboys, what is happening ?

10. Charles Barkley was right about us

11. I’m in disbelief actually. Literally don’t know what to say

12. How many two point losses can one team endure?

13. Team meeting. Now.

14. man this is bad. Still a mavs fan but this has been rough

15. Airball c’mon bro

16. I’m a huge Luka fan but that was the game.

    Hopefully we can bounce back in December

17. Luka how do you lose your man ball watching on the potential last shot of the game

18. I was excited for this season.

    I told my brother. “They might play the best offense in the league.”

19. This team is in trouble. Hard to make a run when the West is this competitive

20. That’s it, I’m going Mormon

21. 4 Ls in a row at the buzzard is pain overkill man

22. Our team has very serious issues. The defense especially is horrific

23. Luka you cant be upset by the lack of rebounding when you just got cooked defensively😂

    thats how you loose teammates

24. This is absurd. I can handle losing close games on the road to contenders. But the fucking Jazz??????

25. Luka fell asleep on that last defensive possession.

    Yea this team competed in the 4th and were playing well.
    because we were getting stops. gotta get back to that.

    It’s good we’re losing these 50 50 games because it needs to remind the team that we aren’t guaranteed anything. this is a whole new year

26. Luka trying to blame lively for the last defensive play is rich.

    Microcosm of this season

27. Need one of those players only meetings. 4 losses by 8 points is rough.

    I don’t get the Klay hate right now, he’s doing what we brought him in to do.

28. 4 consecutive heartbreaking losses. At least we are getting them out of the way early

29. No basketball for me on the internet for the next two days.😑

30. Honestly how long do yall think this losing streak goes? I think we could lose the next 7

31. PJ Washington is the heart, soul, and anchor of this defense and I will never slander him no matter how many shots he clanks.

    There’s no versatility with switching. There’s no additional rim protection. We need him.

32. I need Blizzard to shut down Overwatch Classic and ban Luka NOW

33. Team fell asleep after that klay three

34. -goes to WCF

    -misses playoffs

    -goes to NBA finals

    -misses playoffs

    2026 NBA champions baby!!!1!

    Seriously though what the fuck

35. This game showed that if the team plays like their opponent is good—they can dominate for stretches against bad teams or break even with good ones.

    Tonight was atrocious. Bad communication, no commitment to details. I think Luka is checked out and not giving a fuck on D, but Kidd isn’t going to hold him accountable.

    And between Maxi, Din, Powell, Hardy—you barely have 1 rotation player out there. We need to make a trade for a good PF.

36. I really hope they call out luka on his defensive lapse, he was in position but not paying any attention to John collins. a loss is ok if the jazz make a great play not dallas falling asleep. I really feel bad for klay, did hit a big 3 just for it to get wiped.

37. Kidd can’t even draw up a play to get an open shot for Klay or Luka then have everyone else crash the board for a last second put back

38. Still early in the season, but that’s a horrible loss. We need to start games with the same energy we had in the 4th. It’s like we’re coasting for most of the game. We’re not good enough to coast.

39. On the bright side, what are the odds this forces a reckoning re: the lack of offensive system?? At the end of the day, the best defense is offense. Fixing the offense fixes *a lot* (assuming Luka gets fixed along with it, of course lol).

40. Another close game . The nerves be everywhere man . But I love my mavs . We gotta get it together. I love Luka he dropped 37 tonight . But defense wins games even in crunch time ! They fell sleep on that last play

41. Why are people complaining about that last shot from Naji….. the game ended when Collins had a wide open dunk due to luka being a dumbass. That last shot was completely irrelevant. Naji was a beast in crunch time keeping us in the game as well as that clutch 3 from Klay

42. Ngl I firmly believe we win this game if Kyrie plays and Lukas out. Kyrie might not score as much but he tries hard on defense. No more excuses for Luka .. Idc if you have 60 points, there are targeting you since they your a easy bucket.

43. Mike Curtis on [Twitter](https://x.com/mikeacurtis2/status/1857281446400188434?s=46):

    > Asked Luka Doncic why they haven’t been able to execute in the last four games, which have all come down to one possession:
    >
    > “I don’t know. If I knew, we wouldn’t be, right? I don’t know.”

    That’s actually extremely unnerving lol given he’s been at the center of every single one. 🥴

44. At least Luka got his stats!

45. I know I will get down voted for this but I would consider trading Luka for Giannis. Giannis with this team would win a Championship.
