I blame nick for leaving us again
DAL is right now like Kawhi Leonard health. He is but No. Luka + current role players roster is good for PO, not regular season. Not every game is high stake game. That shows lack of talent or playing system (Give Luka ball is not a system)
The mavericks are worse than nick cannon’s pullout game. Obligatory Luka’s good at basketball comment.
This is so depressing to watch… Oh no, Nick is not here, Nick would have said this, don't tell Nick, Nick has the sounds, Nick, Nick, Nick…
Can we be a bit more professional and just do our job properly? Just because the Mavs lost doesn't mean we should have a grumpy show with 0 energy.
People follow this and log in to get interesting content and positive vibes. We should criticize the team for playing like crap, but these hosts are not far off these days…
they keep comparing this mav's team with luka to Jamese's Clevland teams. Well maybe that's true maybe it isn't everyone can make up own minds. But James never won with those team and as soon as could he ran not walked to take his talents to south beach. front office might should think about that. everyone still thinks just a second star is all we need lol that really is funny. Maybe we should take a pick or two maybe a swap or two make some trades get a competent group of role players that are not at the end or should be at the end of their careers before we use 5 years' worth of assets on a co- star and have no way to build around. and a co-star like most want will take that to get, probably more
If the mavericks don't make the playoffs luka will leave the team horrible coaching and no defense against anyone just terrible on the boards also trade finny Smith and Bullock plus Powell for a star bigs
we felt you pain and we love you ❤😆
positive thing that happen to the mavs right now is lossing games… cause the coaching staff and the FO will surely make a big move when trade is allow…
what is going on right now started 3 to 4 years ago when Cuban struck gold with luka, and instead of systematically spending money, making smart trades, and making the team better, he sat on his ass and didn't do anything, no significant trades or signings. when Mavs fans were excited about a journeyman undersized center who was basically casted off from his former team, you know Cuban has done Mavs fans dirty.
What sucks worse than Mavs basketball right now, is ANY Taylor Swift talk.
Peeps hater.
Timberwolves played better without KAT. Who would the Mavericks play better without?
What sucks worse than Mavs basketball right now, is what Cuban did to that girl in the Portland bar.
When a relatively good team like the mavs play so poorly against a basement team there is something wrong with the chemistry in the locker room. There are some unspoken issues for sure. Someone or a group of someones are not in the right state of mind to win. Certainly there is a thing with defense. Lazy teams do not rebound. The usual rebounders don't even show up. I smell Magee. He is my choice for the grumbling twitch on the bench. Thinks he should start and when he does barely puts out 50%. Dump him to the G league. This was a bad move we all see it. Deal with it before it totally sinks the ship. Reggie the Bull needs to go to G league too. Lack of performance is his best move.
Applebees>>>> thj 🤷🏼♂️
Tough night
The turning point of the game is on the dying minutes maxi's nervous pass to tim resulted a turnover. The outcome could have been different. You could see right away luka's frustration after that error.
that's why I eat half the meal before I pull away from the fast food window. can't take that chance
I’m done with this team how tf do we lose to the pistons magic and thunder and luka played in all of those games. That’s pathetic. I’m glad Hardaway is finally stepping up again but bullock has been complete shit and dinwiddie was trash today maxi too. Meanwhile KP has been balling out in Washington. Hate to say it but I think the wizards win the trade. We lost this game partially from missed free throws we are one of the worst in the league ft% and we shoot too many threes we live and die by the 3 today wasn’t bad but our defense was horrible. The fact we gave up 131 points to a not fully healthy pistons team is ridiculous
When does Kemba come back
ive been complaining about the free throw percentage the whole year. at this rate defenses willl just foul luka all game cuz hes averaging 1 miss per trip. but half of our losses were wins with just a slightly better freethrow percentage
Luka is getting constantly doubled and there is no one capable of making a good decision with the ball after the first pass. Maybe this is the reason Luka has to initiate the offense every time. They don’t trust anyone making a play for him and the moment they get the ball out of his hands is over!
Positive thing that all the problems are so clear now that still time for fixing them
Funny 3rd segment 🤣
It’s called soccer now
Isaac again solo and Mavs lose again…don't worry Isaac, Mavs are not good, not you
Personally I am frustraited, like you say Mavs have one of the most best player, so why are they don't winning? I think Kidd has a big role. Maybe he has to take a different steategy and start to play hard dad on all players inclouding Luka.
Nick better be back on the pod before next game
The roller at the last minutes should be C. Wood for offensive purposes, Maxi is not even looking at the rim after catching the ball. Hopefully they play Kemba asap, but knowing Kidd, he'll rack up DNPs for sure.
Sabonis? No, ty. Valanciunas? No, ty. Bojan Bogdanovic? Markannen? Goran? No, ty. KP for two non existent players? Not signing/Loosing JB? Seth Curry for scraps? Sure, why not. And there are more little things that happened or didn't, just because someone clearly does not get it. I won't even go to the coaching… Mavs got two great shooters that don't touch the floor. And a great PF/C that has to be lucky if he gets more than 25minutes… Yet multiple players that can't score 10points after multiple clean look dimes from Luka… are always on the floor. Sry, but WE and the FRONT OFFICE just don't realise what Luka is doing on the court to keep Mavs relevant… And now some think that Kemba will fix things? Someone that was not playing for a year, that was basically fired for being nonexistent in defense… I really wan't him to succeed, but thats the big move from Mavs this season? Just look at ATL, NOP, MEM, BOS… how you build around your stars. Mavs traded away everything that was solid for scraps. Other teams traded away scraps for solid/great. Something is off here.
The positive this year is that Luka will finally realise that he needs to leave this sad sad club. Finnaly.
I really hope Kemba can move the needle some and get 10 to 15 and 4 or 5 assists in 15 to 20 minutes. It sounds like he can give solid but limited minutes.
Why aren't Mavs going after Boogie as well? Boogie can still play a good 20 25 minutes he just can't perimeter defend.
They should focus on the team chemistry, something is off. Similar roster to last year – totally different vibes.
Issac? spelling? sorry new to the Locked on Mavs podcast less than 2 months. Big Luka fan ever since got his card out of a pack in 2018 Prizm. Was not watching basketball for the prior 6,7 years due to depression, that stems from combat in Iraq. Used to follow basketball closer than even you guys if that was possible even before the internet. Anyways, right? Luka what! that phenom changed my entire outlook on the future. Mine .ore specific. Luka though, as long as he can refrain from getting bullied and beat up taking very hard fouls from the other teams muscle player the one that this is in his job discription to disable opposing stars at whatever cost. Then he will be the best basketball team player to have ever played the game. He wont be most decorated but will be far more entertaining while doing what he does to make his team a winner. Luka himself needs to look around the league and choose the player that he likes their game alot and wishes that they would play together for a geeat stint in thre NBA together winning multiple back to back championships in easy fun fashion. Start with great players or very good players he enjoys yheir game and their personality and they must be a stand up human all around as he is far as I know and the 2 of them would be best duo ever Tatum and Brown may have began their shot at this duo thing but thats longwinded enouvh. love yall show i laugh alot yall are down to Earth people I relate to and am a little jealous yall have the job of a lifetime dream.
