ima say it Grants too small
Kidd must rotate player esp. Holmes Hes a former kings so he knows how to guard Sabonis
I hate watching this team right now. So much hope at the beginning, but the actual reality is setting in. This team is terrible. Same questions every loss, same basic answers about defense having to get better (obviously) and nothing ever changes.
FIRE KIDD
TRADE
team has absolutely no size, the bench is very weak, and the front office did horrendous job in last five years since Luka is in the team, resulting that you have no players except some scrapy leftovers nobody wanted, I mean for the love of god djj is our starter, the guy who averaged 5 points and it's 30% shooter from 3
Just to present how things are pathetic, right now our only asset is tim hardaway Jr, which you cannot afford to lose because he's one of your better players and you need him.
LIGHT THE BEAM
It's time to get off Jason Kidd
Luka is such a cry baby , and the refs actually fall for his flops 😂
luka dont give a fuck about being there, he needs discipline and BAD
cuban plss trade powell, josh green and fire kidd
For the love of God quit chirping with the refs on every call and get back on Defense. You are hurting your team significantly.
This team cant guard anyone. Play Omax. Teach em to guard. And scream at them if they walk or if they dont play 100%. Yes, Luka, you too. You must give it all, dive to the floor, fight for loose balls, play bully ball, play more physically, etc to try and win the game. Grant is very short. Cant play at 4-5. Green is also not capable of playing the 3. Obviously hardaway is a little guy and cant guard anyone. We need height and speed and strength. Someone like Scotie Barnes, Anunoby, Kawhi, etc. And involve Lively more. Especially on defence. He has to clear everything on the glass. Now he doesnt protect anything. Sabonis scored 30 points. But u have no other options cause holmes and powell are not nba players. Kleber is always injured as well. The things are very tough for our team again this year. Most probably we aint gonna get the ring again. It has been a while since 2011. And Cuban is not serious about it. He is not involved in the process, doesnt wanna pay the luxury tax.
Powell is the worst defensive player in the NBA and its not even close
we are hearing we need play better defense,defnese is just the efort… this is going on 4 yrs
I was expecting this after the loss to Bucks. This reminds me of the Mavs we know. Unable to string multiple series of win and will be 5 or 6 seeded.
Did Luka fall asleep with opened eyes while Grant was speaking? 👀
The loudness of the answers is proportionate to the defensive efforts…
GRANT : Is too small and too slow to guard anybody. That was the reason why he was not starting in Boston
LUKA: Oh boy where do i start. Kid needs some mental help or yoga class. He is overemotional abt the refs every fkn game. It hurts the team and his reputation in the league. So weird when you have Dirk as mentor
Jeez, they were just tired after the Bucks game. No need to overreact. If they lose the next two, THEN we have a problem.
HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS 🤠 SUPERBOWL 🎉
wtf everybody overreacting when these guys played bucks not even 24 hours before, like man u can loose these games
This mavs team is embarrassing 3 Ls in a row now there a 5th seed.
Is it me or is Luka overrated as fuck
Out of all the loses this one is the least concerning. It was a back to back after a tough loss in milwuakee. The same problems that existed at the start of the season still exist today – size at the 4. People freaking out because 2 losses close together when nothing has changed
Also fire kidd
any team that is depending on Kyrie is going nowhere….. somewhere along the line there will be a big problem
luca is kinda the same ….. they should T him up for his constant complaining.
but face it, the kings are getting their offence on track and their defence is improved from last year. they will be hard to beat
The genius Mavericks get one of the best players in the world. He leads the team to the WCF at 22. In year 6 they say, let’s CHANGE him. They take away everything that made him special. Now they’re losing. His stats have slid, and they wonder why. Luka needs to play for Pat Riley on a team that knows how to maximize a superstar’s strengths, not change them. This must be Luka’s last year playing for a team that doesn’t know how to play with him.
What is Grant doing? What is Jones doing? Weren’t they brought here for defense? Luka, Kyrie, and Tim are the scorers. What is everyone else doing. Stop blaming Luka for not doing everyone else’s job. No matter what he does, ungrateful fans blame him and not all the other millionaires on his team.
