STD (@#$show thread daily): Mavs suckage

[BPo001]

If they are going to put Curry on PJ he needs to get in the post every play and back him down.

[BPo001]

Is there a player easier to hate than Draymond? Like the guy is just so wild flailing his arms hitting people in the face and kicking people in the dick.

[Melonhead]

I see the Mavs losing and recalibrating. Get the win back from GS in a few days.

[Melonhead]

Luka is playing rough.

I see him going off second half.

The team is really letting GS off the hook here.

[blessednegr0]

We will play better. Sloppy start for us. Still don't know why Dwight or THJ are getting minutes.

[BPo001]

wtf was that, Hardy?

[Melonhead]

This game is ugly

[BPo001]

What the fuck are they doing out there???

[blessednegr0]

Kidd, literally... THJ and Powell are not options for us.

[Dallas41]

It's pretty sad when DJJ is a better rim protector and rebounder than your backup big Powell

I really hate watching Powell play minutes because I know the other team is going to dominate the boards and score inside anytime he's on the floor

[EricaLubarsky]

-11 and this feels like watching 18-19 Mavs

[Melonhead]

I?m not going to overreact. Last game of road trip and they?ve been undefeated up til tonight. Catch y?all Thursday.

Pro tip: sit powell

[BPo001]

Just give the ball to Kyrie and get out of the way.

It's infuriating. You can put Kleber in, Morris even. Why the hell is Powell out there?

If a game ever comes down to Kidd putting in the right guys because of injuries, he will always pick the wrong guys.

[BPo001]

Well good way to close the half. Strong 3rd quarter incoming!

What do you think our playoff rotation looks like? I am afraid of seeing THJ in the playoffs.

[LukaMagic]

Second half starts the same as the first quarter. Great start by Mavs. And what you should expect now to happen again is for GSW to make the game dirty with the help of the refs. Which is what happened in the first quarter too.

[blessednegr0]

They are defending the fuck out of Luka. We need to post him up and let Kyrie run point.

[LukaMagic]

And what you can notice while watching the game is how GSW players ARE PROTECTED on offense. They do not incur great physical contact from the Mavs. Yet, the Mavs' players get physically abused absent calls.

[LukaMagic]

This is completely different basketball standard than in Sacramento, for example. It is a totally different game.

[LukaMagic]

And Kerr and the whole GSW organization relies on that. They pressure the refs like that all the time. That's part of their winning formula. They have that going.

[LukaMagic]

And that's how the league is run. Different teams are differently treated. Very, very differently.

Playing in Sacramento was a walk in the park for Mavs. It was really incredible to watch a couple of games with something like neutral refereeing and with no team being protected by the refs.

Notice Steph Curry. He plays like a ballerina. He reacts and demands fouls for the tinniest of touches. And Luka GETS ABUSED. Luka plays with open wounds underneath his pads. Stuff is bleeding.

And for GSW that's normal. That's part of their system. That's how they won their championships. That's a huge part. Their whole organization is set up like that. Kerr screams and yells at refs if that sort of treatment is not dished out by the refs.

[BPo001]

Ugh fucking vintage CP3 tonight.

[LukaMagic]

The league does not protect Sacramento. The league discriminates very, very heavily against Dallas Mavericks and has done so for years.

Lakers + GSW are organizations that are in with the league.

That's how the league is run. Different teams have different refereeing standards.

Then different players have different standards. Lebron, Curry, etc. Draymong Green HAS BEEN GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER FOR YEARS.

[BPo001]

This lineup is ass

[blessednegr0]

Get THJ the fuck out of the game please. Jesus. He is always fucking lost on defense.

Luka and Kyrie need to strap up and play the entire 4th at this point. Clippers are losing, let's close this one out.

[LukaMagic]

ps Did you see the Green's very first contact with Luka in this game?

[LukaMagic]

pps That is ON PURPOSE targeted aggression in an environment in which refs do not protect Luka.

[BPo001]

Maxi is so fucking awful

[BPo001]

You telling me Omax isn?t better than Kleber at this point?

[LukaMagic]

That was great offense. PJ is really improving in all aspects of the game. Great get. At times he almost reminds of Scotty Pippen. Even though, of course, he is not that sort of a scorer. But has some similarities.

[Dallas41]

Paul and Wiggins always play well vs Dallas

[BPo001]

Why didn?t Luka shoot that?

[blessednegr0]

I am literally pissed right now. You have Curry on the damn bench and we can't build a lead with THJ and Maxi in the game. Why the hell did we even have Powell in the game?

Literally a fucking idiot when it comes to rotations. We cant drop this game with Clippers potentially losing.

Has Powell played in the second half? Mavs getting beat on the boards again, and PJ is shooting like shit.

[Dallas41]

There's two teams I want the mavs to avoid in the playoffs at all cost

The Clippers and warriors

I'd rather see anyone else including Denver as opposed to those two teams because they always bring their best effort vs Dallas

Wiggins can defend both Luka and kyrie and dude always seem to be an all star vs the mavs including Paul

[SMC0007]

Its looking like an L tonight boys. Its just one game but its some of the same failures we used to have. Also CRUCIAL turnovers in key moments have killed any chance we had. THJ is a shit bomb always ready to blow. Maxi is comical running around out there. Lively being out for the bulk of the remaining games is just not a good thing

[blessednegr0]

PJ at least plays defense and attacks the paint. Maxi tries to play D but is constantly out of position to rebound . THJ is absent on both sides.

***EDIT*** as I was posting that, PJ gets a quick bucket.

In a normal basketball league it is UNHEARD OF behaviour for one star player to get abused while the other plays like ballerina. That would never happen.

And the same is true whenever normal games of basketball are played. But the league is rigged like that. Refs let physical abuse on Luka while Steph Curry cannot be touched. He runs around, and walks around, and smiles around, and grimaces around like a ballerina in some sort of a gay* mood.
