Answer#1: JKidd overthinks situations and concluded Maxi would suddenly catch fire and win the game with his 3pt marksmanship.

Answer #2: JKidd is incapable of thinking and pulled Maxi's name out of his "who is next up in our rotation" hat.

Answer #3: JKidd had a $5K bet on the Thunder.

Answer#4: JKidd is a dumbass

I?d go with 4 because he gives the same nonsensical answer in post game every time about switching in space. Like the maxi of 4 years ago I agree. He?s not that guy anymore. He?s unplayable tbh.

Just go back to January to see what kind of player Hardy is when he gets minutes. If he got 25 mpg on the regular, then he would almost certainly be a 15 ppg guard.

If Thj was anything but homeless butthoe on defense, maybe one could safely walk out on a tiny limb and say Tim deserves minutes over Hardy...because he used to catch fire from deep.

Hardy has WAY better handles, a better shot, finishes better around the rim and can create if there are other capable players on the floor. THJ is cringe af if he even puts the ball on the floor. Its gonna get taken, or bounce off his foot OB or he will pick up his dribble in no mans land.

This new swallow the whistle refs are going to directly impact guys like Luka who already get beaten up in the paint without a free throw. Could see him getting tossed before the end of the season.

Of course on the opposite end they can?t stop blowing for guys like Shai

That is my thoughts about Prosper as well.

I mean, how much worse would he have been than Williams, PJ, and even Maxi?

And I'm not so sure our best PF isnt Morris right now.

I'm on record for saying we shouldn't have given up a 1st or Green for PJ. It was a desperate move.

BUT PJ is a big upgrade defensively and the team needed that. He can't shoot for shit, but the defense is there most of the time.

Ha I wonder about Morris too. He?s standing on the sideline coaching more than Kidd sometimes.

Exum is questionable with plantar fasciitis sprain. I knew that b2b would hurt him. Green is out.

Imagine actually developing your young guys throughout the season and they could step up tomorrow. Instead we?ll get a heavy dose of Powell Maxi and THj.

[Melonhead]

Exum and Luka are a go today.

If Mavs win it?s a 3 way tie for 6-8, and Mavs would be 7 due to suns losing and owning the tie break.

Mavs are 2-13 vs top 3 seeds this season.

Go Mavs. Thj nuclear game, maxi raises his 8% shooting in March lol. Full cope let?s go Mavs

[Dallas41]

Sometimes I wish PJ was utilized more like Gordon on offense less 3's and Luka was utilized a lot like how Jokic is deployed offensively inside and out.

As for THJ that dude just doesn't know fundamental basketball

He also thinks he has to immediately come into every game launching

[BPo001]

That?s a travel lol

[BPo001]

So that?s not a foul?

You?d think with THJ growing up around the game because of his dad he would be a more fundamentally sound player, but here we are.

Yeah but in fairness they've gotten away with fouls on jokic to and Gafford is lucky he didn't get called for the call on that 3 point shot just now.

So it a evens our imo

A good coach would. Agreed on both pj and Luka. He?s big enough to do inside out occasionally

[BPo001]

Can we please stop showing Mahomes?

[Dallas41]

Yep look how Gordon gets spooned fed by jokic usually on cuts and lobs

PJ just stands around the perimeter and Jack's up 3's

He would easily avg about 14 ppg on 50% shooting if played closer to the basket or moved without the ball like Gordon does

[Dallas41]

I'm not exactly sure what THJ did that entire 1st half along with maxi

Which is why come playoff time I only want to see Green, Exum and Lively playing most of the bench minutes if all remain healthy.

I feel like kleber and THJ are just out there taking up minutes without any impact in return. The team doesn't really miss them if they are not on the floor

It's been this way for a while now! At least a month. They are absolutely fucking worthless.

They have simply checked out.

[Dallas41]

PJ please stop shooting 3's man

Just drive the ball like Jones does

[Dallas41]

ThJ another bad shot

[BPo001]

Apparently Dirk is there. Have they shown him, or just keeping forcing Mahomes down our throats?

[Melonhead]

THE MUH FN BOARDS

GRAB THEM ALL

[Melonhead]

Luka has to finish those around the rim like we?re used to seeing

[Melonhead]

Please keep running an offense. Can?t get stagnant

[EricaLubarsky]

Hot garbage reffing

[Melonhead]

PJ Washington needs to be closing. Not maxi fucking Kleber

[blessednegr0]

Why do we have Maxi in the game? Put DJJ in there...

[Melonhead]

Get maxi out jfc

[Melonhead]

Mavs don?t know what to do being ahead with 3 min left. Just hoping to run the clock out

[EricaLubarsky]

15-3 and Kidd still has a job

[EricaLubarsky]

Luka 1-3 on FTs isnt helping

[BPo001]

Are these refs serious?

[Melonhead]

DJJ has played great and he should be closing.

[EricaLubarsky]

Since the ASB, Kleber has shot 25% from the field and 21% from three

[blessednegr0]

This is absolutely horrible coaching... Maxi has no business being in this game.

[Melonhead]

All saw that coming. That?s what this team and coach gets for trying to sit on a lead. Fucking idiots

[BPo001]

Maxi FFS

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs are not serious with Kidd.

20-4 run to end the game.

Yet ANOTHER game that would end a coach if the Mavs were a serious franchise.

[Dallas41]

This team is bad because they continue to play guys who don't help

Kleber and THJ are both useless and PJ thinks he's KAT or Porzingis on offense

[BPo001]

Joker flails a lot
