  1. misbrichi

    Grant Williams fucking sucks. I don’t care. He fucking sucks 

  2. I seriously don’t understand this team at all.

  3. rishabh2996

    Grant Williams… Get ready to learn Chinese buddy…

  4. tallkward

    We make so many roleplayers look like Hall Of Famers shit is pathetic.

  5. Acreativeusername69

    I’m tired of watching all these bums play on our team when Luka and lively and Kai get injured.

  6. This team is still awful without Luka, we need a trade badly

  7. Idk about y’all but the team consistently not being ready to play undermanned teams is a coaching issue. Also, we need a center immediately if Holmes is done here

  8. rebelstand

    with the way the ref belw the whistle, the only way mav win this game is to shoot lights out from 3, the ref came with a mission, role players were getting all star treatment in an away game, just move on to the next not to mention giving up 10 offensive boards alone in the 4th literally killed any chance of a comeback.

  9. i_take_shits

    Hopefully we can point to this loss as the straw that broke the camels back and Nico pulls the trigger on a trade. Hopefully Siakam but something anything

  10. Liamesque

    I hate that I knew this was going to be a loss after seeing the Pels injury report. Just a baffling team.

  11. Axisofcoolio

    With Jason Kidd as his coach, Luka’s ceiling will always be a 4-seed at best

  12. question2552

    if this season becomes a failure again, losses like this are on Kidd. He needs to be on the hotseat starting yesterday.

  13. PrinceofEden23

    We need an actual big man. Small doesn’t work for us when we can’t hit our threes or defend the paint. Please Nico 🙏

  14. CityNo1723

    Out rebounded by 10

    Pels with double the FTs

    Kidd Refusing to play anyone other then Powell/Williams at the 5

    Green, Hardy, and Grant playing with zero energy

    That about sums up this fucking game

  15. misbrichi

    I’m genuinely appalled by grants fat ass. 0 points 5 fouls in 14 minutes is insanity 

  16. whitefang0824

    EMBARASSING LOSS

    You let yourselves got beaten by a team on B2B, missing their 3 best players and let a rookie kick your ass with a career night.

  17. rhaegaryen

    Not surprised in the slightest. Outside of Kyrie, every single Pel is more talented than the guys we had on the floor even with 4 starters out. Trade for Drummond and siakam idgaf who you have to give up noone on this team moves besides Kyrie Luka lively djj and exum.

  18. We_hitt_a_boat

    If Lively doesn’t play next game we may as well “punt”

  19. simonsaid86

    Grant’s minutes at the 5 have got to stop.

  20. 86SlashHawk

    grant Williams with a phenomenal 0 pts and 5 fouls get this bum off the team PLEASE

  21. mmmmastermind

    Horrible loss after a good win, nothing’s new. We have a losing record against every team above us, play-in team in my book.

  22. highfalutinman

    Playing Grant Williams at small ball five again and again and again when it’s CLEAR AS DAY it isn’t working is just madness.

  23. johndogerty

    After this I wouldn’t mind gambling our future on Siakam

  24. Historical_Chip_2706

    Green is f-ing awful. He’s really, really bad

  25. This mavs team is so frustrating. It’s either they are the best team in the league with dynamic offense and a pretty solid defense or they are worst who cant defend, cant shoot, cant rebound and cant do a damn thing.

    Also. Grant Williams should never ever be outplayed by Dwight Powell. I dont care if its Powell’s best game of the year but Grant Williams should never ever be outplayed by Dwight Powell

  26. MFFL12_17

    Rebounding and perimeter defense killed us again

  27. Fivefootdirk

    I’ve seen enough, injuries will be the scapegoat, BUT we just aren’t a talented or disciplined enough basketball team to be taken seriously. I’m certainly not a doomer but it’s time to make some changes cuz this team has had the same issues for the last two seasons.

  28. No_Engineering_4925

    How do some poeple not want to trade hardy and ‘’ Josh green ‘’ for siakam im confused

  29. mythril_07

    The Mavs have the worst front court rotation in the league.

  30. Independent_Baker969

    but people did tell me last game that green play better when luka is not here

  31. lilsaucy32

    Mark Cuban is at the forefront and only constant variable of this rebounding nonsense for the last decade.

    How many times do we have to say we need a rebounder? How on earth is a bum like DP still playing heavy minutes a decade later?

    This is absolute insanity.

    We are in year 6 of the Luka era and we’re a play-in contender. Missed playoffs last season and the play-in. With Kyrie. Meanwhile some of his peers like Tatum, Shai etc are top seeds.

    That’s absolutely shocking and tells me that the rest of the squad is dogshit.

    Fuck all your assets, young players, projects, etc. go get 2 proper physical frontcourt players to end this madness.

    Losses to the Cavs, Memphis, and Pels all severely short handed at home. Disgusting.

  32. ExcellentJuice4729

    Grant, Seth, Maxi combined for 5 points in 26 combined minutes. And the Mavs don’t need a trade..?

  33. donihicks

    If you look at the positive side this game could help for Nico to be more determined for a trade. Not going anywhere with Green, THJ, Hardy, Grant. Way too inconsistent/shit.

  34. AdVisual3406

    Much better again without Luka. We should trade him. Great pace of play and boy Josh was outstanding. 

  35. Tap_in_Merchant

    All these losses are on coaching. If you’re constantly being outworked by worse teams that means the coaches aren’t motivating and planning well enough, because clearly the Mavs have the personnel to beat better teams as we’ve seen.

  36. wouldn’t be shocking if the win the game on monday when they play their best dudes

  37. ChuckMoody

    I actually don‘t get doubling Jonas all the time, let him score 40 idc, instead we gave up open 3s everytime he touched the ball. Pretty obvious that our entire defensive game plan was about Jonas. Poor coaching

  38. If the Mavs can’t get out of the first round, they need to move on from Kidd.

    His sample size has been large enough. People are going to reference a lack of a roster, but there are a ton of guys out there that are better with X’s and O’s and it doesn’t make sense to continue to settle

  39. This roster is flawed.

    We have a 3 PG, 4 SG (2 undersized, Curry and Hardy), 1 undersized SF (jones), 2 Pf, 1 rookie and undersized PF (Grant), 4 C ( 3 undersized ones).

    No adequate Backup C, no starting level SF or PF.
