Very informative breakdown, I know this is a lot of work, but I would love more of this, makes me understand the game much more. Thanks!
It's genius Kidd came up with this reason of not starting Lively
Nick, he didn't overthrow that pass, he threw it where only Lively could get it. Looked like Luka had his joy back. First game of the season, I think the coaching staff is figuring out who will play where, team will improve. Hopefully everyone can stay healthy. Got the win, I'm excited for the season.
What is wrong with protecting a rookie? Is now the important time or is it later?
Great episode nick. Very informative. The film work and interviews we A1. Keep the quality up!
It doesn't matter he's still a hundred times better than powell
Someone on a tv show said Mavs are a 9-11th rank team. I think Lively makes us a legit 5-8 team. Save this comment
luka
ky
green
williams
Dlive
Legit first five
Luka did the 2 things we really wanted – played better defense and didn't complain to the refs. I think there was only 1 grunt in late game when he actually got hit and just ran back. that is GROWTH.
Many of the people in the Media saying Mavs are trash were supporting them a year ago… when the team was worst.
Almost nobody talked about D-Live and almost everybody saying we are trash because we almost lost against the Spurs… these casuals clearly didnt see the game
Commenting every day for a contest for one fan host on a show or in the rotation.
J Kidd saved this game no cap. He subbed THJ after his dumbass was about to shoot a contested 3 over Wemby. From that point we closed out easily.
Of course it's sustainable! If it wasn't for the Bonehead Stupidity of our head coach we would of won easily! That 1st qtr with maxi at center with the Dumbest thing I have ever seen in my life! What a Freaking IDIOT!! They hay the 7'5" Big and we counter with out 6'9" big? And we give up 40+ in 1st qtr with this big Idea of our dumbass coach? We need a new coach who can evaluate talent! The whole world saw in 2 mins Lively was the best center and best fit to start! After we got Lively in the game we played Much better! Kidd needs to WTFU and Start Lively! DON'T EVER PLAY DP or MAXI!! They are TRASH!!!!! Dereck will be rookie if the year! If out idiot coach can just start and play him!
We get a Better Coach and we can Win it all, all we needed was a real NBA center and now we can compete with he rest of the league with real centers! Start Dereck and we in the Playoffs!
Another genius move by Kidd?🤣🤣🤣🤣Kidd 💩💩 is an IDIOT! He don't know what he's doing! Maybe next brainstorm we can give up 50+ pts in the 1st and try and come back from that? I don't think we can take anymore of Kidds genius moves if we want to Win? Quit with the Stupid starting 5's! Big 3, Josh & Dereck! Someone tell that Idiot Kidd to start them every game!!
The vibes are being restored❤
Why Hardy is not part of the rotation is beyond me.
Where can I get one of those SALLAD caps? Can I get mine with ranch dressing?
Thanks for the effort Nick
I am looking forward to seeing if DL2 can do the same thing in a second game. He will be playing against a decent center with the Nets. DL2 looks so much better than he did in college.
