Any thing
Hot take: Mavs FO schemes so that we are the plucky underdogs 4ever 🤓
I think we have multiple problems… luka, roster, coaching.
Issac sometimes you talk and that ruins the show…jk
already know isaac was stoked today after he seen Nerlens was starting for the nets tn😂
The only thing im sure: we don't have Kyrie problem
Mavs need roster upgrades on certain positions and then most of the problems will go away. If they get better players on defense and have proper big who can guard other bigs, then everything else will click.
Now, fanbase is searching for solutions that can improve this Dallas, but no to the extend of winning anything. Even if Luka is laser focus, doesn't complain, take things more seriously.. then what? Instead of 33, he needs to average 37 or? He needs to stop others in defense? This won't solve anything.
Kyrie needs to stay in the offseason. They need to offer him what he wants and then get people they failed to get last offseason (McGee turns out to be pretty bad).
Yes, coach Kids is not the coach this Dallas Mavs need. They would need some strong leadership presence in coaching position, but even if rotations become what people thing they should be, we are still not winning western conference.
Instead of replacing broken pipe, we are putting bandages all over it and then we are surprised when it leaks again.
The endurance doncic is a problem
Anything
What is up with Javal McGhee. He was told he was a starter at the beginning of the season. Jason Kidd is being exposed as a fraud. Our team is in hell and the front office is leading the way.
We have a problem Kidd….
They were winning more with Luka out since the Kyrie Trade, especially when Luka is not at full force
Way more of a roster problem than a Luka problem and that all starts with the FO. Need a quality big man that can rebound and protect the rim and more solid B+ players and they’ll be right there but they also need to get rid of Kidd because he’s mainly the one holding them back
Mavs have luka,kidd and roster problem…this franchise is SUCKS
I think a Team Ayahuasca Retreat is in order.
Irving will goo because of stupid kidd haha
Why did we get rid of kemba Walker?
No question Luka has given Dallas opportunities never possible without him, but as of now it is absolutely a Luka problem. Lack of effort, endurance, defensive ownership, offensive versatility(0 off ball movement), immature tantrums with refs are all signs of someone not fit to be a leader of a franchise. He needs a mental break and reset from basketball.
Bad takes all around. Instead of you picking up the moral for all the fans you're just trash talking this team. Typical media outtakes. Remember sometimes you should stop talking if you have nothing smart or positive to say. Even if you run a podcast.
Fire Jkidd..Should start C.wood..not Powell .
Both
Cuban and kidd drink vine all night haha
Coaching problem. Lack of running plays, and not playing Wood, Green, Hardy, McGee. Last, Luka needs to pick up the pace to run sets.
MAVS are nonexistent without Luka..
Anything below
With the right coach with authority the following team would be in the NBA final this year: LUKA, BRUNSON, KP, FINNEY, BULLOCK Bench: Powell, Green, THJ
Rotation problem
Luka 5% + if you fix the coach and roster there would be no Luka problem…
I think it’s a lack of leadership from coaching and any players
Luka is my favorite player but its true, he needs to improve shape, complaning and effort or he will never be 1 off all time greats
They have a roster problem. J kid don't know how to use the players he got to his best advantage. Wood should start more and give Mcgee and Moris more minutes.
I rlly fear that Luka will be a big "what if", not sure if the man will ever "try hard" xs
Its fun that we all agree that roster is a bigger problem then Luka but the talk was all about him.. and thats normal, he is our guy, and that bigger reason of wins
Everyone knows Cuban will resign Powell on a huge contract, because he is our starter and only center.
KI will step up. No worries.
It’s a Luka problem 100%this guy has no defense and can’t shoot a game winning open lay up
Nah we have an appreciation problem. After all the things we have seen if this is title of your video and not Kidd or coaching problem then it's obvious you either don't know what you have or are deliberately avoiding going after Kidd. Sure he can be better but he deserves better than this. He is not the biggest problem. We won 50 games with dinwiddie and brunson for crying out loud . The roster and coaching are bigger issues. Days like these i hope and pray he leaves Dallas to somewhere like new york or la where they really appreciate their stars. Going after him when he has been playing hurt for the team is real low guys
Luka is one nutritionist away from being unstoppable
I fail to understand how Kidd keeps ducking all the smoke he deserves. His rotations are atrocious and unwillingness to play and start games with our best players and close them out with our best too. He has cost us numerous games off of those aspects alone. Sorry when you need a Buckets in crunch time IDGAF how he feels about him Kidd should be playing Wood no questions asked. All he does is produce and get buckets for us in his limited minutes. Idk why everybody thinks his defense is that bad. All I ever see him do game in and game out is get blocks and alter shots. Our starting and Closing 5 should be Luka, Kyrie, Reggie, Maxi and C Wood. Honesty til Green gets his Confidence/swagger back Hardy needs to be getting way more run next to Krie right now. Even let him start next to him and see of he can provide a spark for us. Greens not a ball handler/orchestrator. Hardy is the only other true playmaker we have outside of Luka and Kyrie. In the same breath Cuban and Harrison aren't doing their job either. They already should have Contacted And brought Hassan Whiteside in to help Anchor our interior D and give us some Rim protection and rebounding. Or Hell even kick the tires on Dwight Howard. Love DP's toughness, leadership and Hustle but now way in Hell he should be starting or getting starters amount of mins. He is too unsldersized and all the Teams in the playoffs will Feast on him. Or did J Kidd catch Amnesia and forget he literally had to bench Powell in the Playoffs last year because of how useless and ineffective he was??? The FO not doing their Job and Kidd are to blame for most of the issues we are having this season, and somehow they always seem to go unmentioned and get by unscathed. Roster is def a problem yes, but or FO/Coaching failures are the biggest problem/issue we have right now.
I Hope Luka leave this FAKE fans an organization
It's more an leadership and coaching problem.
If luka doesn't run back for defense: sit him on the bench for a few minutes
If luka is whining: sit him on the bench for a few minutes
A lot of nba coaches are afraid to hold their stars accountable! And when you don't have a player with great leadership, who could replace this lack of accountability…
You can't play without defense,period.
Luka needs respectable coach. Kidd is fraud and needs to be fired asap. And then there is still million other problems ^^
