What’s 1 reason the Mavs lost to the Raptors?
I know O-Max is not ready to play big minutes but atleast they could have tried to see what he can do since Lively is out.
Have you seen how Jalen Brunson has been playing for The Knicks? 😂
Let’s go, Mavs!
They outpowered outhustled our wings all night.. i dont think lively wouldve made a lot of difference
In the 4th i remember when Kyrie got subbed out that nah its over not gonna lie i know kyrie has a slow start to the season but he grows and gets better game to game THJ shoots and all but he was a minus this game
i like this co-host W
Yep little toe is important yep
How long before Kyrie, like KP and JB, gets tired of Luka?
Clearly too small. It’s been the problem since the GSW bounced us in the WCF a couple years ago. Also, Luka has gotten trigger happy, when he just starts shooting tough shots it’s not good. If Luka really wanted to get the team back in it he needs to bully ball in the paint then kick it out to an open wing if he can’t score an easy one.
Also, Kleiber and Powell are glued to the floor. I like them but we need to come to terms with both being past their prime, slower and Kleiber lack of confidence in his shot is horrific. Kleiber hasn’t been the same since the hamstring abs may not get back to his old self.
Exum needs more minutes
Its a bit frightening how important a 19 years old rookie is for our entire defensive system… God please… PLEASE trade for another rim protector already. A real savety blanket if Lively is either in foul trouble, or even gets a real injury, we are fu**ed!
Like they said in this show… we have to much 6'5 guys, we ave to trade one! It should be THJ, it cant be Green. But in the end, I dont care who… just trade for a playable big already! That would also help our undersized wing problem, cause Maxi could finally play PF again NEXT to a real center. Man… I just dont get it. At least Holmes got a couple of minutes. He didnt do much… but at least we tryed to play him.
Replying on a rookie 19 year old center is really embarrassing stuff. We need to trade for a vet center and big wing. Time to say goodbye to Maxi, Josh green, plus picks. Possibly even Hardy
Williams seemed apathetic.
Anyone else notice how predictable luka has become? It's either a stepback or a linear drive. What happened to his iso dribble moves? Its like he lost his ability to dribble in traffic, he's always shielding the ball, picking up his dribble and forced to take a low percentage shot.
Let's admit it that DP was more of a liability in this game specially on D and rebounding
DIDNT I TELL YALL TRADE FOR SIAKAM GET RID OF POWELL FOR SURE & MAXI FOR SIAKAM
Raps should have won that game against the Bulls. Refs basically stole that game from the Raps. Raps had 72 points in the paint against the Mavs and lost the FT battle. Refs tried hard to help the Mavs and they still lost. GTJ flop? what kind of call was that. Raps won both their challenges on bad call by the Refs. Seemed like most Raps games this season they are playing 5 on 8. No respect from the Refs.
The Mavs lost because of Chubby Luca
Not a problem…that’s why we drafted a big man and when he’s not playing this is who we are as a team
