Does anyone know when all these injured players are coming back???
🦝 100% sit luka if THJ is out or only play him half and only play Spencer the other half. Kidd needs to actually coach the rest of the team and something big you missed is how Dwight can’t stay out of foul trouble early which leads to Javalle playing 🤦🏻♀️
More and more looking what happen in MAvs…. Mavs need to bring some "bully" type of players that go after every ball…JARRED VANDERBILT, KENYON MARTIN JR., USMAN GARUBA, … they need 1 more player like this.
mavs need to change game plan for every team. dont apply the same plays
J Kidd is losing me mann
Wood, DFS, Kleber, and Green were all out. I'm not worried.
Kidd isn’t the problem he still has Carlisle type players
Need to trade for a Dennis Rodman to put with Luka- we’ve got tons of shooters get a go getter
Yep, worst roster of all the PO teams in the league. Cut Luka out and Mavs fall below Huston and Detroit. Luka is bailing Kidd, Cuba and Nico out BIG time.
The only problem Cuban doesn't realise is, that Luka isn't Dirk. Luka will not let Cuban suck out the life out of him, chasing that one "hail marry" chip over his entire career.
If this is the best the Mavs FO can do, Luka is demanding a trade in 2 seasons.
Really thought Luka will set roots in Dallas, but this franchise is a absolute joke.
4 years of Lukas career wasted because Cuban is cheap and they aren't able to bring at least a solid tipe of players to help the team. They are committed to THJ like he's the second coming of Klay Thompson. They playe Powell as a starting center. In what PO team is Powell starting but the Mavs? He would be a 3 option on any other PO team in the league, but he is starting for the Mavs?!?
Outside of Luka, Spencer and perhaps Green, trade everybody if possible. No other player on this team should be considered untradable.
If Pacers are up for it, send Wood, THJ and Bullock for Turner and Buddy. And then hope Pacers are drunk enough to do that trade.
Missing THJ is never a bad thing
This was a scary game. Take out the miracle game of bullock which is not happening again and this is a 40 point blowout to the blazers. This team is done if no trades are made.
Mavs just can't overcome their injuries. It's not an excuse. Take out 3 of the best defenders from any team and they will have the same issues. Also, the plan is to get healthy. I don't see them making any trades. They have no assets. We can't keep trading 1st round picks.
I think Luka would want to play this b2b game (they are running out of players at this point), but they'll probably make him take a rest day. I am hoping Josh will play.
Nico needs to sign CW or go back to being a shoe salesman.
Before we freak let’s get fully healthy
Kemba would’ve been nice to have for a bit
Just watched some skiing and now … first listen ❤
Luka needs to rest Sunday.
Good morning ☹
Rebounds are not necessarily decisive factor in a game. But they show you how tough one team plays, or were playing. If you loose this battle by high margine, obviously you are gonna conceive also more points in the paint, bcs you're too soft, too small or you were playing without energy. But that doesn't mean, a team needs a rebounding C, just tougher 3&D guys may be and a rim protector.
Besides. When I watch Mavs games I notice opponents score against them in transition at will. Mavs can't score many points in transition, bcs they play too slow and they do not even have the players to score high percentage in transition and that includes the injured guys also.
I'm gonna conclude here that besides second star Mavs also need players who are tougher defensively.
