Unc!!!
#T8TE AND ONEEEEEEE
Uncle Jeff!!!!!
ofc
Lol at this point just keep a guy on hardaway no matter what
Fuck Hardaway!
UNC SLAM
i think this is the perfect time to be using jae’sean like that honestly, he’s much more used to ‘fuck it put your head down and just start bulldozing to the rim, whatever happens happens’ compared to most of our team except uncle jeff and FVV, and he’s stronger than both of them
GOD FUCK OFF THJ
#UNCLE JEFF TURNS BACK THE CLOCK!
29 points not too bad for the mavs, we always do poor in first q on D
oh shit uncle jeff spikin
Je sean has no business being as good as he is in the post lol
PESO SAID NO
good finish for such a bad start
Thank god Ackerman quickly pointed out that it was a 2 for 1 situation, because that Jalen shot attempt almost sent me into the other room.
Why does THJ cook us every damn time?
Man thj makes me want to say evil things
Down 7 in the Q I’ll take it!
Our bench unit has good energy. Tate brings hustle.
Good rotation on the last play. Close out hard on Hardaway and make someone else beat us
Tim Hardaway would be a HOFer if he only played against us
I have an idea for mid game adjustments. Guard Tim Hardaway Jr. on the 3pt line.
Good finish of the quarter
Could have been a lot worse. I’ll take it
At this point, we should just trade for THJr. Just so that he doesn’t absolutely kill us 4 times a year.
Excellent rotation defense to close out that last possession
Don’t help off THJ. Treat that fucker like curry and klay
Not enough 3 attempts, we were scared of every close out, just shoot the ball fast
Not that garbage end od quarter. After lead changes it won’t come back let’s go
Nah we breaking that Hardaway curse tonight. We got this
If we really want to win maybe we should not play Alpi as much. Maybe 30 mins max. On the other hand, Alpi needs to learn to how play against guards like Luka and Kyrie.
I’ve seen enough. Uncle Jeff is the greatest Rocket of all time
Gets the ball, sees the double, passes it to Tate, one defender cheats, immediate pass back and drive in between double to the rim.
That’s what I like to see from Jalen.
Jalen needs to stop shying away from contact. We need his aggressiveness if the Mavs are going to give him a lane.
Top 3 Shooters of all time
3.. Ray Allen
2.. Steph Curry
1.. THJ against the Rockets
Bad News: We lost the 1st quarter
Good News: We still have 3 quarters to go
god this 7 point deficit could be easily 15+ based on how we’ve played so far, i’m gonna choose to just be thankful it aint worse….. but i got a bad feeling about this one. Fuckin tim fuckin hardaway jr man
How tf can you shoot your fts so bad 😂
When Jalen takes the ball up then just jacks up a 3 without even attempting to move the ball or take it in it bothers me a lot. He’s not good enough to be doing that yet.
Omg I though the game was over and we were trading away our team, hiring a new coach and rebuilding…………. You mean it’s not over the first 6 minutes? Crazy
Doncic & Irving being 3-14 & we’re still down 7 is crazy.
17 bench points though killed us & Al P & Jalen being 2-12 is ass.
Three point percentage margin is too much, and we are very low around 16, at some point it will raise, hopefully gonna be a balanced game
NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT !??
Jalen and Sengun are a combined 2/12. Wont get it done. Need them to get it together. Down 7 after the Luka bench minutes is a bad spot.
2nd unit always defends hard
Jalen and sengun both 1/6
Jalen and sengun both having an off night and it’s still pretty competitive, some good ball (minus those crazy turnovers)
