GDT: Clippers (16-10) at Mavs (16-10) 7:30p
Irving out
Lively out
Green out
Kleber out
Problem?
Clippers are 8-0 in last eight and looking to get back at us for the blowout earlier.
Honestly, I don't see us winning this with Powell and DJJ as our centers.

What's the latest on Paul George and Norman Powell? Both popped up as questionable with illness. Looks like Bones Hyland is going to play.

Last coach in the world i would want in tough times / injuries is Jason Kidd.

Welp, back to last season. Kidd is up there with Monty Williams as worst coach in the NBA>.

Dunno why I made a GDT
It?s basically what we are without Lively? and even with Lively against good teams

Injuries are making Kidd look less bad and it?s infuriating

Good for the team to keep fighting. Cant fault that.
Would love to see a strong effort to get to the ball on defense.

Defense leading to offense. Thats the key.
Congrats on making this somewhat a game.

Don't come back just to lose. I'd rather get blown out than do that.

I miss clutch Luka. Remember when he was raining threes while falling out of bounds?
Now he has a TO, two missed FTs, and a missed three

That?s game. Luka spends his time practicing half court shots instead of his free throws. Kawhi finishing us off in the final 2 min.

At least Hardy played reasonably well. Need a center so badly.

Luka has been dreadful down the stretch too. Missed 5 free throws this quarter alone.

He?s annoying. Blowing the Clippers at every turn. It?s okay to say the Mavs fell apart at the end on both ends of the floor instead of always giving Clippers credit.

Mavs are about to freefall to the 10th seed.
Day off tomorow
Then 3 games in 4 days with third game vs Suns on xmas.
Then day off
Then another 3 games in 4 days.
And Luka man I know he?s playing a lot of minutes. But his body just doesn?t allow for the type of cardio to keep carrying a team. He?s been putting up silly numbers but he just looks so gassed tonight. And the schedule is finally picking up after the team having so many days off in between games to start the season.

At least he finally said he needed to coach better before the game. A little self reflection goes a long way.

Dwight 'Unplayable' Powell, Derek Harper and JKidd need to ride share near the grand canyon and I will cut the brake lines.
I already miss DevinHarrisWillCommentate.
Luka played poor defense, AGAIN. Missing free throws AGAIN. We win the game if he doesnt miss 100 FTs.
Clippers are just a better team. A lot better. You just hate to see us give them the game they fought hard for up until 3 mins left. We gave up 3 pt plays 3 times in a row. Then Kawhi brought shame on our "dEfEnsE".

I still give Luka a free pass because he has to do everything. Expecting him to play top notch defense at the minutes he is playing isn't realistic.
Without Luka, we're a 10 win team.

I agree with this. Its just that if he isnt leading by example while Lively and Kyrie are out, he might as well sit tough games too because him being a sieve on defense isn't working regardless of the offense he provides.

Listen, I won't defend Luka's lack of defense, but he was playing it well early on this season. But no player that isn't known for D is going to play it at 40 mpg.
The person responsible for the lack of defense is Kidd. None of our defensive guys are playing it which means it's a system problem.
Like Grant Williams for example. His D has been pretty crappy. I don't believe he just suddenly forgot how to play it. I don't think he is being held accountable for playing it.

Im buying all of that. I also blame FO/Kidd for accepting DP as our main guy coming into the season since no one knew Lively would be ready yet.
Grant has been a down grade from DFS after the 2/3 week honeymoon phase. Furthermore, as a whole we are dogshit at double teaming on defense.
I realize its a tall task to ask Luka to be Kawhi for even a game or 2. I'm only talking about the difference in the effort he was giving before Lively and Kyrie went down when we had a nice stretch of games where we looked solid on D. Luka has been playing heavy mins even before losing Lively and Kyrie. I'd just like to see him get back down the court, get in position on defense and not accept getting blown by so easily. Again, it's more about the leadership than it is being a lockdown defender every posession.

Luka out vs Rockets (quad)*
*aka rest
If one of Kyrie or Lively doesn?t play you can add that to the loss column.
