Pain
We look too comfortable losing
Kyrie had to take a mental health day against the best team in the west, great
Didn’t lose by double digits, I’d say we’re contenders
Good thing we won those 3 games without Luka. We will be in the lottery about now.
Maybe we should stop blaming Luka for everything and focusing on the whole defensive issues this team has, like us being unable to stop anyone in the paint.
Least I have chicken…
made it respectable with the run in the 4th. I really really hope Kidd gets over whatever his problem with Wood is, it’s ridiculous. Wood is clearly one of the best players on the team and yet Kidd treats him like trash. it’s crazy to me. we have deep bench guys getting lots of minutes and Wood only played 21. He should definitely be over 30 in a game like this.
20 minutes from Pinson…
START CWOOD
No scoring, no defending, no rebounding, no passing, no immaculate vibes. We’re cooked. Every possession is a either a layup or a dunk for the other team. How you gonna let Jeff Green go for 24 on 11/16??? Just awful basketball.
In all honesty tho, that 2nd qt gotta be hidden away forever. No one should ever see that tape.
AJ Lawson deserves a roster spot instead of Theo.
Kidd sending Wood at the back of the bench with the shortest leash in the team is just a waste of a our 3rd best offensive player. Wood played his best basketball starting, he got more confident in his defense the more he played and his fit with Luka is awesome.
Wasting him to play more minutes of Powell, McGee and Pinson is just insane. I dont care if Kidd doesnt like him, we cant be wasting players when we’re struggling.
Probably use Kyrie as an excuse for this L.
Anyway, if Luka is all smiles and doesn’t give a shit about this loss then why should we?🤷🏼♀️
They didn’t have Gordon and Murray and Jokic didn’t even need to score that much. Yikes.
22 minutes for Wood. What the fuck is this coaching staff doing????
We may have lost the game, but at least we didn’t start C Wood when we were missing out number 2 and 4 scorers. Glad we could play elite defensive centers like Javale McGee in his place.
Kyrie already sitting out 😭😭😭😭😭😭
If an role player like Jeff Green is balling like 2010 then you’re the problem.
Jason Kidd can’t effectively use a guy who’s can put up 20 points in 20 mins against any team in the league.
Mavs will go 19-3 after all star break book it
Cant wait for Luka to leave. Not even because this team is utter trash (which it is) but because this disgusting fanbase dosent deserve him (or any star).
You watch this game and all you do is shit on Luka our of all people? You guys are out of your damn minds.
There is not a fanbase as cancerous as this in the NBA. I have not seen another fanbase ever shit on their franchize player nearly as much as you loosers do on Luka, even when he is having a great game. Tatum can go 3/20 and Boston fans will be making a MVP case for him out of it.
Truly cant wait for Luka to leave to a competent franchize that dosent play Wright, Ntilikina, Pinson and the likes legit rotation minutes, win a bunch of rings and MVPs while you cry yourself to sleep with your “ball movement” and 10 wins at the end of a season.
Not everybody but at this point this legit applies to like 50% of the sub.
Kidd is a fucking idiot. The way he has treated wood, I would leave too. Wood has talent and when he feels supported he really steps up.
Win or lose, Luka’s weight is an actual problem. It’s literally making his pace slower compared to prior years. In addition, it clearly impacts his defensive effort.
This team will be fine if Jason Kidd can get his head out of his ass and stops letting his stubbornness and ego dictate who plays and who doesn’t. There should be no version of a basketball team with championship aspirations where Theo Pinson and Frank Ntilkina play 20+ minutes.
Why do I have to watch Theo fucking Pinson get 20 minutes? I complained about him being on the team before and everyone would downvote me and say “he’s just a 15th man what’s the big deal? He’s not going to play anyway”.
I mean what is going on here? It’s mind-boggling.
Josh Green got torched -20 yikes. Meanwhile Jeff Green scored over 20.
Nuggets were 23/23 at the rim. Can we sign a fucking center . I’ll even take a 10 foot tree limb attached to a jersey ffs
You know team is screwed when the fans are begging for changes that are literally impossible or are equally ass.
We don’t have the depth to be competent people. It doesnt matter if it’s Wood, Mcgee or Powell. We screwed. Bullock and Josh Green are literally our only perimeter defense. Just get over it man. They traded for Kyrie and than sat their asses. Accept the play-ins. I’m not even sure we make the play-ins to be honest.
Maxi Kleber is not gonna be this team’s savior. We are a first round exit team if we make the playoffs.
Couldn’t get anyone better than Kidd?
just start Wood and get him his 27-32 minutes a night. pretty simple man. like what is Kidd doing honestly? for the life of me I can’t understand the logic behind Wood’s role and minutes, especially when he seems so fluid with everyone else’s
when THJ and Maxi come back I don’t want to see any more nonsense in the rotation. It’s time to prep for the playoffs. We’re literally 2 games off the 12th seed.
only + I got is I think we can score with the best of them. just comes down to paint defense.
Goddamn Bullock is dogshit.
3 points for Bullock in 30 minutes. Yay.
So Ntilikina plays more minutes than CWood? And Theo Pinson plays almost same minuted as Wood? Nice!
This is the reason why CWood’s confidence is taking a hit.
This team is built for failure. Thanks JKidd!
Wood is gonna end up being Brunson 2.0, walk without getting anything in return. This time it’d be due to Kidd refusing to play him.
