realistically pj or kyrie play we win but luka been abysmal on defense to start the season the way he been chucking 3’s he should have a little more energy on the other end.
Im glad this was the only game on last night so EVERYONE can see our problems
This is the WORST luka has ever looked. Dont skipping training camp. Its infuriating dude. Also jkidd please stop playing powell. He is literally hurting your team. Lastly if ur going to play klay understand he isnt the defender he used to be and gets beat often off the dribble. Losing to the jazz cant happen man. Thats 3 straight
If the Mavs lose the next game vs the Spurs, will we see Nick start the episode drinking? 😂
Fighting for the 4/5 seed? Slightly biased strikes again. Try the play-in.
Weird vibes from start to finish. Everyone looking apathetic, felt like Kidd heavily underestimated the Jazz while the players showed up defeated. Up next: losing to the Spurs who'll be playing the second leg of a back to back. They might as well rest Wemby for the scheduled win. But sure, let's keep saying it will be fine and it's too early to worry until they need a crazy undefeated run when every single game matters just to make the play-in.
Kyrie plays we win by 30 so how tf do we lose this????
THE OTHER THING IS…..POINT BLANK….OUR TEAM MISSES FAR TOO MANY SHOULD BE EASY SHOTS….AND WIDE OPEN 3s
Nick is starting to get it that Klay is totally washed. Compare GSW and Dallas right now. I predicted it and Nico's major regression to the mean. Never, ever should have happened. Let the fade continue.
Kidd needs to play Gortman over Hardy
LUKA……..POINT BLANK….NEEDS TO GET PHYSICALLY BETTER & FASTER….
HE JUST DOES….THE TEAM NEEDS TO FORCE HIM TO GET A REAL TRAINING CREW TO REALLY WORK ON HIS BODY
The mavs are a play in team
Didn’t this team hire Frank Vogel for defensive anchor? Why do they look soft on defense still hmm oh effort ofc
AND WITH US PLAYIN SO MANY DIFF LINE UPS….THE DEFENSE & REBOUNDING GONNA DEF SUFFER
that’s good for everyone to see that luka is problem. now he has every weapon to win games and you choke.
It Just feels like we have a bunch of players auditioning for roles still. As freeing as JKidds idea of peoples compete for times, the other side of that sword is that players don’t feel comfortable and so we get plays like this.
Kidd should make some concrete roles so players can relax in the game and be ok with missing a 3 or making a defensive mistake, everything has some much more weight to it when you are not sure if u playing tomorrow. Just my 2 cents.
From here on out THIS needs to be the lineup:
Kyrie Luka Klay PJ Lively
GORTMAN, Q Dot, Naji, Gafford
Maxi

GORTMAN over Hardy and Spencer. Im tired of these dudes getting away with doing nothing for the team on either side
Play gortman man ❗️wtf😤
THEY NEED TO TRADE
[ Dinwiddie / Powell /Kleber /Hardy ]
For another Center
Defender !!!!!!!!!!
When did Lively completely forget how to catch and handle a basketball
With Jones Jr., best team in the league, except maybe the 3 point shooting freaks Celtics. With Klay sub 500 and just lost to the lowly Jazz. Will anyone be man enough to send Klay packing, I highly doubt it. Where the Hell did the lobs go?????
They need to trade spencer and powell or hardy and powell and get defensive players because luka is sheet
Lol 😂
Mavs is a great team 👏,
Yet have to find traction
Kidd has to design his offense based on Luka's skill. Luka can't move off ball lile Curry, he is way out of shape. So iso and kick out to open man is their go to offense. Blame Kidd for not calling put Luka to get in shape and to stop whining.
🦝🦝
Nick STOP interrupting slightly!!!
If Kai and PJ don't play next game i don't watch the game for real. Even tonight that 3rd qts make me fall asleep lol.
LIVELY WAS TRASH TONIGHT
Oh brother now they making excuse for this Luka. You guys can’t be serious man. He’s been mid.
