You know Kidd is trying to lose with playing Hardy 6 minutes and Wood 13. I?m now convinced he is doing it purposely lose. April fools?

At this point if we lose the last four, we have a better than 50% chance at keeping our pick.
B2B hawks tomorrow
Bring in the losses

Damn, we gotta lose 4 more for those odds? You know the Mavs will screw it up and give the Knicks the 11th pick.

Didn?t watch the game and I don?t think I want to know how in the hell they lost a game shooting 63% and 3 players combining for 96 points.

Green is the lynchpin of defense.
With him? 15th in defense (pp100)
Without him? 30th on pp100
Kidd again wanted to fuck with the roster by subbing a balanced guy for a pure offense and got it. Then we allowed 76 in the half

Technically accurate, but missing so much in context and variables.
It?s pretty simple, if we have the 10th worst record and we?re not tied with anyone else, we have an 80% chance of keeping the pick.

Lol EL you spent weeks pushing the narrative that we couldn?t keep our pick. You are honestly the most toxic poster here. Enjoy playing in your empty sandbox, I?m off to Reddit.

Not mansplaining -- just correcting someone who has no nuance, is emotionally volatile, and only speaks in extremes.
As is typically the case with misinformed people, you are also inconsistent and whiny.

It is statistically possible to drop out of the play-in as well, but...
A) We are unlikely to lose the tanking race against the Lakers (no LeBron, unhappy Davis), Blazers, Rockets, Thunder, and Spurs. Lakers are better, but without LeBron they are nothing. I don't think we can beat the other four teams in tankage.
B) Even if we did get to 11th, it only gets us a 9% chance of keeping the pick. In other words, a 91% chance Knicks gets a very nice 11th/12th pick.

13th (and lose play-in) - 4.7% chance of keeping pick
12th - 7.2% chance of keeping pick
11th - 9.4% chance of. keeping pick
10th - 13.9% chance of keeping pick
It's unlikely we can even get to 10th worst record in the league, but even then we have an 86.1% chance of giving the pick to New York. I don't think I'd call that a "good chance"

Everyone take a deep breath and be cool with the fact that Kidd will still be the coach next season.

it's funny that you think you are dunking on me when you're not.
1) At the time you posted, the Mavs were 12th and were 3-3 (playing .500 ball). You posted that we we had a "good chance" to keep the pick. At 12th and playing .500 ball (3-3), we were heading to a 7.2% chance of keeping the pick. I disagreed because 7.2% is not a "good chance" to me. Those stats you post (and cherry-pick) don't use the sudden swing, but that's how stats work. The trend line can (and does) change with a 1-6 run, but time matters and you are so disingenuous that you are trying to make a flawed argument by removing the context of time. If someone is healthy and young, it would be foolish to claim that they'd die young. If they die young, you don't get to criticize people who predicted a long life when at the time all indicators were pointing that way.
2) If we lose today, assuming all possibilities are equally likely like 3-0 being as likely as 0-3 (which they are not), then we have above a 50% chance of keeping the pick. Thanks for correcting me though. I do enjoy being corrected when I am not wrong.
3) I never "pushed" a narrative that we were going to lose the pick. I disagreed with you on the phrase "good chance" because the present outlook and the projected future outlook were not looking good. Of course, the sudden 1-6 swing has you feeling pretty cocky, because yes if we lose today we are more likely than not to keep the pick. No one could have predicted that swing, but the swing has changed the outlook which is why I have been posting probabilities and updates in the draft thread as the possibility of keeping the pick has skyrocketed. When situations change, it is okay to change opinions. I have changed my tune and you are still dwelling on posts from weeks ago. Maybe you are just hurt that I disagreed with you weeks ago. I'm personally happy that the outlook of 2-3 weeks ago has changed in our favor. I think we absolutely need the pick.
I do find it hilarious that you correct my lack of "nuance" with a post totally lacking nuance and context to attack the "boogeyman" that is EL.
Anyway, you're still here. Post if you want. Leave if you want. I don't give a shit. If you come at me, though, I don't have to take it and can correct the record. There aren't other mods around and I haven't used my mod powers in months and I'm clapping back as a private poster. If you like DM.com and hate me that much, then just ignore me. If you hate DM that much, then absolutely go to Reddit. You're not a toddler and no one gives a shit if you take your ball and go home. You're an adult (I'm assuming). Do what makes you happy.

Do you guys wish the Mavs could hit the reset button on this team? What I mean is the same players with Luka, Kyrie, Wood even THJ and everyone else on the roster. But with a good coaching staff? There is a lot of skill and talent in this team but so misused. I hope in another reality, this Mavs group is winning.

Won't happen. Nico basically already trashed everyone not named Luka and Kyrie in that Caplan interview.
The coach is the main problem, but the big man situation is still a mess. Maxi and Powell just aren't good, plain and simple. Wood and McGee would do better with consistent minutes, but they can't hold down the fort by themselves. Still need another big.

People considered Rick a good coach and guess what he still rolled out Powell at center
The next good coach that Dallas gets will be the coach that no longer has Powell or THJ on this roster as starting options.
Both Rick and Kidd got too comfortable with both players and imo even if you bring in a new coach on those two guts are still on this roster I'm willing to guarantee you they will continue to be apart of the main core and play

You literally said if had the tenth worst record we'd have a "13.9% chance" of keeping the pick when it's actually 80%.
You are consistently, objectively wrong. Then you throw a hissy fit and insult posters when you're called out. You've driven away a bunch of good posters from this board like UnderDog. All this and you're a moderator?

Kidd is a worse version of Rick. So I guess Kidd is more "player friendly" (not to a select few) but doesn't have anywhere near the x's and o's brain of Rick. Not even close.

Underdog and I are friends. Stop making up bullshit.
I made a mistake on that ONE percentage weeks ago and you are consistently bringing it up despite correcting it many times since. Do you always continue to harass people on mistakes weeks ago? Do you always make shit up to make people look worse?
Anyway, I'm not banning you but I am ignoring you.

Rick may be a good X and O coach but he was very lacking in people skills. Maybe Kidd excels in people skills but why can?t the Mavs find one that has both? Don?t ask me for suggestions. I am not paid to look for one. I am sure with the proper unbiased vetting of coaches, the Mave can find one. Doesn?t have to he someone?s buddy.

Powell again no contest at the rim and can't box out for shit
And only if this team had one more guy like green who could play with energy and effort on defense
Still don't understand why they didn't even try to consider S.Bey

If they bring back most of this roster if won't matter who coaches
Look at the effort defensively by Luka, THJ, Powell, Hardy and Wood
None of them fight through screens. They all get beat repeatedly off the dribble and they are poor when it comes to closing out on shooters
Bey literally walked to rim vs Luka because there was no resistance by Luka
Bogdan had all day to shoot vs Hardy on several occasions it was so bad the hawks broadcast crew was making fun of Hardy defensively
Wood and Powell are the two worst box out bigs in the NBA neither guy puts a body on anyone
Right now as it stands only Luka, Kyrie and Josh Green are even worthy of returning next year.
I would literally trade or not resign any other player on thus roster after those 3 guys.
That is how bad this roster is
Guys like bertans making 17 million to do absolutely shit

Even Greg Anthony mentioned it
Said Josh Green is the only guy on the roster that is capable of defending
That's a knock on the FO (Nico/Cuban) inability to build a competent roster

For fucks sake, Luka. That?s the best shot you could come up with to close the quarter? There was 12 seconds in the clock. Lazy ass should have given it to Kyrie if he is going to settle for a 35 ft step back 3.

Don't think Luka gives a fuck anymore
Dude won't box out, close out or make fundamental passes
He's been just as bad as Hardy today
