Free throws. What else can you say? Embarrassing.
our defense looked good until we weren’t allowed to play defense anymore
This team should be fucking embarrassed
Grown ass men getting paid millions and millions of fucking dollars to go out there and miss the easiest shot in the whole sport.
We are so mid. I’m going to go throw up.
Well, this was one of the games ever played.
I mean we’re just broken records at this point. This team is a pro team that can’t shoot free throws. That’s just a discipline/ focus problem
It’s pathetic a professional misses 11 FTs. They missed over 40% of their FTs.
Yall can blame the free throws which were horrible, but i blame the lack of plays, after Luka passed out of a double team.
57% lol
This is something minor but we have nowhere the individual defenders required to bother guys like Kawhi or Paul George.
How does it feel for many of you that your free throw shooting in high school is as good as millionaires on a professional basketball team?
This team is basically unwatchable if Luka has a bad or mid game.
I feel pretty comfortable in saying we run one of the ugliest offenses in the NBA. The offense is mostly just Luka (or Spencer) picking out favorable matchups every possession while having the ball for 10-15 seconds. Everyone else camps on the 3 point line and there is barely any movement aside from when pick and rolls/pops are called. When Wood is healthy, he gets some touches in the post. THJ and Green sprinkle in contributions on their own occasionally as well. But it always comes down to if the shooters are hitting their threes or not. When they are, its fine, but when they are not, there is no plan B to this offense. Well unless you call Luka/Spencer iso ball a plan B.
This is a play-in team. We need to stop sucking on the hopium believing that they’re something more. They’re not.
Wake me up when the Mavs’ FT% doesn’t look like the 3P% of a college team
Offense: Spencer/Luka 1v1 + inshallah
Defense: hard close on shooters + inshallah
Luka playing for us is like Ronaldo on that Saudi team. We’re trash af
An absolute fucking disgrace. They should all be forced to shoot 1000 free throws after the game.
Do the Mavs have a shooting coach?
Bullock and Green combined 6 points while 33 minutes and 29 minutes, respectively. Yikes.
7 man lineup and people are baffled we looked like shit in the 4th.
Won’t touch on the free throws as that is a dead horse at this point, but really missed Wood in this game…he’s been great on handling the first pass out of the double team, which is what the team sorely needed in this game.
There was a lot of confusion and/or uncertainty on who was supposed to do what after the double team, and the ball just kinda moved around until it got back to Luka…
tough loss. onto the next game
Sometimes it feels like Luka is the coach of this team. 3rd quarter ended tied. 12 minutes left of the game. No desperation. We start with Luka on the floor? The team was doing fine without Luka. It was a given to give him rest there.
This has been a problem with Kidd since he came here. He has no belief in his own team. Overplays Luka all the time and relies way too much on threes. Luka is my favorite player but having a coach that is too much of a fan of the star player is a really bad thing.
Not Luka day at all, he played like in slow motion. Slowed down every action to the max. There was 0 flow to our attacks. Kawhi finished us late.
So tired of Luka crying to the refs after every possession
This team is shit lol. Just a bunch of guys that’s being overvalued by its fanbase.
Luka wasn’t good, but not being able to win when Luka is not in MVP mode is a much bigger problem. We still need Luka to do almost everything on offense and our defense is still not good. We’re just a bad team that has a top3 player.
I went to the game and I want my fucking money back.
Just return Bullock to the Knicks
