Very frustrating game to watch
My god is it painful to be a Mavs fan
Doomer Christmas came early!!
Let’s the whining begin!!
This team is clearly better than last year and is going to make the playoffs but not good enough to make the conference finals currently in my opinion. We either need to make a trade or fire baldy. I just dont see how our defense is still this bad when the personnel is clearly better. Is it a coaching issue? Holmes being a garbage time player because of Powell is just flat out disrespectful. Ive kept the Kidd hate to a minimum because the team has been winning but ITS BACK ON NOW. IM TIRED OF SEEING THIS TEAM LOSE TO GOOD TEAMS. #FIREKIDD
we are ass on defense ok but i rly dont like the overhelping overswitching stuff from kidd that’s why your 3defense is ass we are always behind on switch because ball move faster then player
Holmes is right there, fuxking use him! Dwight is not playable against these teams
Honestly, I laughed when McGee jumped up and dunked over Powells tiny T-Rex arms.
Last night was the one to win, you could see in the 2nd half we didn’t have the energy the Kings did
It’s 2.52AM here in Scotland,
I’m a mess of emotions, kidding. The team is just horrid defensively.
Everything went south in this game
The trend of stomping bad teams and losing to good ones isnt great. This was a back to back but in totality it’s not good. Still think the team is improved but not good enough to do anything serious
Beat tomato cans and lose to actual basketball teams. Looks like a .500 team with a soft schedule to start the season.
Yah. We ain’t beating many good teams with defense like this.
Wont beat any good teams until we play some semblance of defense x2.
They should pay us for having to watch Dwight Powell play all these years.
If you add this whole teams defensive capabilities individually you may get 1 neutral defender not even positive
Awful awful defense. I know this roster isn’t exactly loaded with good defenders, but at some point coaching has to take some blame there.
Dwight Powell can’t play a single more minute in this team AS I’VE BEEN SAYING FOR FUCKING YEARS. I despise that motherfucker with all my soul. Single handedly makes me hate basketball. For several years sometimes I legitimately don’t tune on games specifically so I don’t have to endure watching his bum ass play basketball.
ENOUGH. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. PLEASE. Want to rip my fucking eyes out when I watch that trash can of a player on a Mavs uniform.
It’s a back to back so being gassed by the 2nd half should be expected. There are obvious issues with this team as it is though
If we have to make 20 threes and shoot 55% just to stay in games (not necessarily win) because our defense/rebounding is nonexistent, then this team has a low ceiling.
Nico has to make a trade for another defender and a center who can contribute.
Dwight powell must be really nice guy
Welp, it was fun while it lasted
I know you probably don’t want to hear from a Kings fan after this one, but just wanted to say I really enjoyed your announcers. They seem super unbiased given that they’re announcing for a specific team and seemed to know a good amount of information about our team! Really was nice to hear good announcers after listening to the Warriors guys last night lol.
Frustrating fact: By the time Powell’s recent contract ends, that would mark him staying for the Mavs for 12 seasons (which can still be longer if for some reason they decide to bring him back again), longer than all time greats in Mavs roster history LOL.
Teams can straight bully us in the paint cause they know Lively has that rookie whistle and there is no suitable replacement after him. I know a lot of the defense is on the players, but I think the scheme isn’t working either. It’s always an easy paint bucket or a wide open 3. The guys aren’t fast enough to cover the open guy.
As a guy who’s favorite NFL team is the Seahawks and favorite NBA team is the Mavericks, this has been a very bad night for me
