Alright so where do we submit our THJ formal apology letters fellas
Where’s the doomers at??!
A case study needs to made on this team.
Unless you’re up 30 at half we apparently become the greatest basketball team in the second half of games.
In which case once Kyrie stops shooting 20% for 3 things are gonna get spicy
Everybody acting tough when they up is our mantra this year I guess. Let em get a big lead at half and then dad dick em down with our stamina.
Once they crack the formula to play in the first 3 quarters like they do in the fourth the league can call it quits the Mavs win it all.
WRITE DOWN ANOTHER W!
Luka and Kyrie the Shaq and Kobe twitter meme
I have no idea how the Mavs are winning some of these games but watching Luka/Kyrie close and seeing good defense in clutch situations is something special.
This team is so different.
Edit: Also, THJ for Sixth Man of the Year
last season they get us hyped in the first three quarters and have our hearts ripped out in the 4th. this season we get our hearts ripped out in the first 3 and then hype us up and win it in the fourth.
What a ride
I LOVE this team’s resilience. Everyone is stupidly locked in (in quarters 3 and 4, sometimes the first). If we play all 4 quarters like we play the fourth we can beat anyone
Were getting all those close games we lost last season back. Karma or whatever
6 – 1 is insane. 10+ years as a Mavs fan haven’t seen an opening like this in a while
We’re winning the championship this year.
Just accept it boys.
I told y’all negative mfers we were easily winning this. 13p behind ain’t shit in the nba when we were getting fucked by every call in the first
Holy shit I love this team.
We definitely had the officiating edge tonight. Magic are a fun team, but their offensive spacing is piss poor a lot of times
Thank God for kyrie man, he really stabilizes and the team when luka is off and contributes in so many ways
Get behind this team doom brigade u know you want to.
What the hell happened in that locker room during halftime??
Tim is a different person this year. We all have some comments to scrub.
I am actually more worried if we aren’t down by double digits going into the 2nd half.
I hate the slow starts, but I love the finishes.
THJ HATERS, WHERE YOU AT.
I don’t understand how a team can look so dog water in the first half and then turn into a contender in the second, let alone that happening in almost 7 straight games, but I’ll take it!
You can’t beat Timmy “Kobe” Hardaway.
I swear we only play in the second half man, always down at halftime
I’m so happy fellas!! We know we are going to have some bumps and bruises along the way but we know this team is def making strides and looking to come at everyone that doubted them during the offseason. Lot of crap talked about this team
Good teams close out. The Magic are a good team, not elite, but they’ll win 40+ this season. And we’re on the second night of a back to back on their floor. That’s a great win.
Idk wtf is going on, but we’ve been winning the 2nd half comfortably without Luka doing too much magic. Everybody is contributing (on both sides!) Maybe it’s JKidd and we all should apologize!
Once we start playing the first half of the these games as we do the second, we’re invincible. Love the resilience with the team and the dawg in them! LETS GO BABY! Feels so good to say 6-1
Mavs are 4-1 when they lose the 1st quarter.
Never thought I’d say this but wow these Mavericks are CLUTCH
What a fucking time to be a Mavs fan!
Timmy 6th man of the year
30 point turnaround. Nico has done such a great job at building an actual roster, and after the pick conveys to NY this year we’ll have all our draft picks (except for what we sent to Brooklyn for Kai but that’s like a 2029 pick). And we actually have assets with great contracts to attach if need be to bring another star in here or more depth needed for a championship run in the next 2-3 years.
No 15 pt lead is safe from these Jekyll and Hyde motherfuckers
I’m so pumped man, this team has a different level of resilience. Luka and Kyrie looked deadly as hell to end there
Love him or not, JKidd has been making good moves this season. He makes adjustments and the team listens.
Back to back, seemed like scheduled loss, down 13 at the half, it doesn’t matter. This team has way more heart than last year. Also didn’t hurt that the defense has actually stepped up when it mattered. Magic could barely get anything easy in the fourth, compared to the first half. Also it was nice to see the little two man game between Kyrie and Luka in the end; hope it only gets better from here
Supplies needed as a mavs fan for this season:
Loads of good quality anti-aging cream for the first half
Multiple copies of apology forms for the second half
Idk who it is hyping us up in the locker room at half time but they are killing it! MFFL 🤙
Guys……are we a good team?
Timmy has never seen a shot he didn’t like. When he’s ice cold its rough, but when he’s on one he can hang with anyone.
He’s had 10+ in every game except the Nuggets game. We’re not gonna get a better shooter in return for him I say fuck it let’s see what this squad can cook up.
Also what a great win on a b2b.
Luka and Kyrie in clutch time is great! Hard to stop Luka at the end of games when you have an actual #2 next to him.
High quality 2nd half basketball. This squad will be a very tough out if they can bring the same energy to Q1 & Q2.
Really excited about this team.
Obligatory “We would have lost this game last season”
I fully expected to lose this game and am pleasantly surprised that we didn’t. 10000% would not win this game last year by any measure.
I truely believe this is the best team in the NBA and Championship season.
A defensive masterclass in the second half . Powell was huge with Lively in foul trouble. The whole team stepped up on that end, Timmy fighting screens , Kyrie and Luka with active hands and Grant with the fighting spirit. This is how you fucking win.
Also Fuck Moritz Wagner .
