Team as is constructed is not going to win a championship. When we lose Wood in the off-season what will this team have to make up for it? We lost Brunson this year but we had Wood to cover up the huge gaping hole he left behind. What about after this year?
Yeah teams lose in the NBA of course but we’re the only team it feels like thats loses games against teams like the Clippers missing one(or more) of their best players or we literally need Luka to drop a 35 + point triple double and go god mode just to stay in the game much less win it.
And now it actually looks like Luka is getting fed up with it. I honestly have never seen him constantly barking at his team like today. He had really bad body language and was yelling at either his teammates or his coaching staff all game.
Each bad loss this season is a reminder of the bleak future ahead of us and how we made bad move after bad move. Losing Brunson. KP trade. Seth Curry trade. Bertans salary dump.
Tough game without Powell

MAKE A FUCKING PLAY GODDAMN
Wood repeatedly fails to have a winning impact when given the chance
Bertans killed us at the start of the 4th
Pro tip: Losses hurt less when you stop caring
Question: Do y’all think if Luka publicly in the post games or interview after this said Cuban needs to get him some damn help, the front office would finally start sweating and taking this seriously?
Frank +12. Play the only defender on the team 10 min, just Kidd things.
First game from Hardy with positive and huge +/-, moral victories i guess.
Luka wasn’t good until that 4th quarter alteady down 20. Let’s be fair and not forget about that.
Wood is a nothing but a bad teams statpad merchant I fear
CWood missing vs good teams
I’m beginning to think this roster has some issues.
More power to you optimists but I just don’t see it this year. The team is deeply flawed and way too reliant on Luka. Also have been very unimpressed with the coaching this year. Losing track of how many games we’ve come out flat and unprepared
I rarely say that something in sports is “unacceptable”. Almost everything is fixable or an issue that can be corrected with effort. However, seeing Luka drop a 40 points triple double only to lose to 20+ points excluded garbage time is one of the most pathetic things I ever had the displeasure to see.
if you’re going to shoot below 30% from 3, you’ll probably lose
Thank you Davis Bertans for making my night, going 0-5 from the field and 0-5 from 3. Definitely worth the money
Please. Just one game where these goons actually look like they like playing with each other
What an absolutely pitiful performance by everyone not named Luka. At this point if I see Bertans or Bullock with the ball I already know it’s a turnover.
Those THJ fouls at the end have got to go down as the dumbest, most low IQ boneheaded plays of the season.
Totally fucked us and negates his otherwise OK performance today.
Fuck this guy, so over him.
Reggie, THJ, Bertans. All have to be fucked off.
Bye.
This team never gonna win a chip at least luka plays like a god every single game
If you want some free depression, just remember: we will pay Bertans 17 million dollars next season.
Luka probably gonna leave Dallas whenever his contract allows it
Shit coach, shit owner, shit GM and shit teammates. Luka got to be the unluckiest generational talent the NBA has seen in a good while. Mavs are lucky he didn’t pull a LeBron and sign a 3+1
I’m not scared of the clippers but I’m tired of seeing Kawhi go 10/13 in the playoffs with stellar defense and a well built team vs Only Luka please get that man some help
Really missing DFS and Maxi for this matchup.
we can have cap space this year!
find out tomorrow because mods will delete every thread (understandable) after this loss lmao
Leave bertans, reggie and kidd in la please
Those Bullock-Bertans minutes at the start of the 4th killed any momentum we had. Some of the ugliest shit I’ve seen in a while.
Dallas: 13 points from the bench vs 43 from the Clipper’s bench. Pathetic.
Luka goes god mode in the 4th and there’s still people complaining about him. Tough loss but the Clippers are better than their record. Losing Dwight hurt, hope he’s ok. Man I can’t wait for Green & DoeDoe to be back, our defense is awful without them and Maxi.
Luka needs to publicly go after Mark and demand more assets. Doing so will force Mark to make a decision to either add value to the team or get rid of Luka.
We all know he won’t do the latter.
Team just appeared deflated, so many bricks and uncoordination, Mavs average play was simply worse than Clippers… Sad to watch as a Mavs fan, Luka tried and gassed up at the end of the game but the bench guy from clippers(forgot his name) was on fire and stopped any real attempts. Better luck next one.
Spencer, Wood and THJ didn’t play bad. Mavs felt off.
They’re definitely gonna shift this roster around at the deadline. Even if its not for a championship run this year. They’re definitely going to unload some dead weight for next season. I hope..
Orlando TMac type of beat!
It stings to see Brunson dropping 40 pieces in NY. Team needs another shot creator.
This moron Jason Kidd keeps playing frank 10mpg when he’s the only one active that plays hard, good defense. Sure, when the roster is fit, play him only a little. But with this active roster the man needs to be playing 20 a night.
My biggest takeaway is Wood only flexes on bad teams, against good teams he disappears on both ends.
Not worth the investment
Luka’s body language getting ridiculous day by day. If his teammate commit mistakes, he just blame them but when he commit mistakes, he will act like nothing happened and run slowly in transition.
What do the clippers want for Covington? Hes been out of their rotation. Wood will be a liability in the playoffs against the Clippers/Warriors. Mann really caused him huge issues like Smart did. Same thing as KP. Luka clearly isnt happy and tbh I cant really blame him. We badly miss DFS, Green and Maxi. Tim guarding KL was a disaster. The Bertans/Bullock brickfest was basketball poetry.
man I hope luka leaves, he doesn’t deserve this shit. Screw this team
Please get Luka actual help
I think apathy unfortunately settled in for this season. This team really is going nowhere and fast and isn’t even enjoyable to watch when Luka isn’t doing something historical. Hard not to feel bad for him. He more than deserves a serious organization to play for.
I’m not a doomer or a luka Stan but this game justifies all the things u guys have been saying we’re fucked
Bad L
Bench didn’t step up
Cwood got cooked
And *Luka not hitting those free throws and played bad in the first half* as some people in the sub refutes
0-2 and carry on…
this is the first year I dont even get excited to watch games. Unfortunate as I am missing a generational player. But jesus this team is mostly unwatchable.
