Why in the hell didn?t they foul Caris Levert. He?s not a great FT shooter
There?s literally no shot clock.

Simply can?t let teams finish 7-7 from three
This team isn?t for real until we can get a real coach

Just piss poor coaching by Kidd. He needs to be pressing them in the backcourt and not give them an easy inbound pass and heave.

Just a shitty way to lose but could have been preventable. Freaking Kidd

I don?t put that part on Kidd. Struss hit a half court heave. The odds of him making that are slim. Sucks that this was one of the few times it did.

I just wish they let Kidd coach because if he could have, he could have changed defenders on Struss
Maybe next CBA they?ll let coaches cal timeouts and make adjustments

This.
Kidd didn?t lose it on the heave
He did lose it when we were up 10 with 4:00 and Cavs kept making shots and he could neither make an adjustment nor call a timeout until they were fully 12-3 and cut the lead to one

They should have called an and 1 on PJ on that last one but I guess they were letting them play in the last quarter. What a shot by Struss. That game was insanity.
Gafford needs to start with Lively off the bench. Give DJJ or Hardy THJs minutes. THJ is an absolute negative at this point. Can't play D, can't hit a shot...

But the odds even less if he catches it with a defender right on him and causing an even more difficult shot. He literally caught the ball and dribbled right into the shot. Just brutal all around.

There was no time to setup a defense. The game wasn?t lost on that play.

With all the bullshit and one-sided calls, if we got closer they?d have called the foul and they would have won with two FTs
We lost because of Kidd, Timmy, and the refs.
For once i have Kidd?s back. That was just luck and we did our best

Good news is the 2m report will tell us 3-4 plays the refs fucked up and it?ll make us all feel better.
Doesn?t excuse Kidd or Timmy but the refs were fucking awful
Silver is going to take them on his banana boat for getting it to that highlight conclusion though. Just gotta remember this is sports entertainment and not sports

This is why losing against the Pacers mattered...a lot. We can't afford to lose pretty much any game from here out.
And I'm sorry, but Kleber getting 27 minutes to Gafford's 7 is ridiculous. Figured that Kidd would shit on another center yet again.

Gafford couldnt get out to the threes and. Kleber did.
Sucks but Gafford is limited with mobility.

Defense has reverted. A lot of it has to do with Kidd. If we want to win a championship, we need a championship caliber coach. Drop defense and piss poor PnR defense is still our undoing. Its probably not just Kidd, I think its the whole staff
Its also on Kidd because YOU CANT KEEP THJ IN THESE FUCKING GAMES!! He sucks! We have had years to unfvck ourself from him and here we are with 26 mins from him. He is still getting lost on defense, and is somehow the only person in the gym that didn't realize Strus had the hot hand as he made a cpl straight 3s.
Thj 26 mins. Hardy with 5. Clown coach staff.
Kai had a mental meltdown for cpl mins. Boneheaded turnovers including him and thj inbounds turnover debacle and the stupid 3 early in the shot clock with literally no one in position and no one else touching the ball.
Luka is the MVP and its not even that close.

Lotta good it did since they shot 50% from the three.
There is still no excuse for that minutes discrepancy when we got killed on the boards. 7 minutes is ridiculous.

A whole lotta good that did. Lol. Kleber didnt play BAD. He had a cpl big moments with the offensive rebound in traffic then immediately floating out and knocking down the 3. But those few moments were surrounded with meh play.
Gafford, lively need to get the center rotation. Use Maxi at the 4 in the 2nd unit with Gaff. No reason we should end up a smaller team throughout the whole game.
Coaches cant figure this out?

Yep...7mins.
Looks like we traded for Gafford to take the Holmes/McGee/WCS role.

I still can?t believe it happened. Mavs go up 10 looking like a clutch pull away win. It turned into a nightmare.

But I can live with a close game where we lose to a good team...IF we had beaten the Pacers.
That game the team just gave up at the end.

Before the All-Star Game: Gafford 21 mpg: Mavs 3-0
After the All-Star Game: Gafford 14 mpg; Mavs 1-2
Small sample sizes but trending in the wrong direction.
I have no faith in Kidd. He could mess up a one-car funeral procession.

Unfortunately, we aren't winning a championship with Kidd at the helm no matter if Luka decides to mature and start being a leader or not. We'll lose Irving and Luka soon and this will go to hell.

Kidd doesnt manage the roster well and he isnt good enough at coaching defense. We all know the offense template is Luka: get the ball to Luka and fvck off.
If anyone else on the coaching staff haven't lobbied to make changes and they present fixes, thrn they need to be run off too.

Give Kidd a few days to figure out how to screw it up. "Gafford can be more effective in fewer minutes."
