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

[EricaLubarsky]

13-2 run

Mavs are completely incapable of keeping momentum and it all comes down to shit defense and Luka turning it over and jacking threes

Small sample size mostly early season when our schedule was easy, but it's easy to lose track of how much we've been wrecked with injuries.

Kyrie (16 games/ 40% of season so far)
Lively (12 games/ 29% of season so far)
Luka (7games/ 17% of season so far)
Exum (11games/ 27% of season so far)
Green (12games/ 29% of season so far)
Kleber (34 games/ 83% of season so far)
Curry (4games/ 10% of season so far)
GWill (4games/ 10% of season so far)
THJ ((3 games/ 7% of season so far) )

Yep. Lively is 20-10. The Mavs could be a dangerous playoff team when fully healthy. Need rebounding of course.

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs standing around and making arm gestures like they think it's someone else's problem. Good job, Kidd.

[BPo001]

Not a single player out there that can rebound. Get Maxi the fuck outta there. Give me Holmes.

[EricaLubarsky]

Man these announcers are unbearable.

"Seth Curry can't even shoot anymore"

He's shooting 38.4%

Horrible horrible homers

-6 on the boards and the quarter isn't even over

I've seen 15-20 minutes of dominant defense from Luka. He's getting blocks and steals, moving his feet, and bodying guys.

I've also seen him stay flat-footed on defense as his man beats him and times when the opposing team are on the fast break while Luka complains to refs on the opposing baseline.

It's not fair to say he's just bad, but you can't call him a good defender unless he is consistently good/high-effort.

They are all just takes guys, so they only need to see a few bad body language plays to form an opinion. I do the same with other teams and sports tbh

[Melonhead]

This lineup is ass

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs 17-10

Since then Mavs scored 8 and Lakers 22

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Kleber back to being worthless.

[EricaLubarsky]

Kidd does not know how to coach

[EricaLubarsky]

Lively +3
Kleber -11

[Melonhead]

Body language is horrible. I?ll be shocked if this isn?t a blowout by the lakers

[EricaLubarsky]

Grant ?I want to shoot 60% from three? Williams is just clanking threes

[EricaLubarsky]

2-13 from three

Body language is not good

[EricaLubarsky]

Luka with some idiot passes

Sheesh

On pace for a quadruple double

[EricaLubarsky]

Story of the season is we get close and then Luka misses a bad three and then turns it over

From -1 to -5

[EricaLubarsky]

-11 on the boards in less than a half

[Melonhead]

What the hell is wrong with Luka

[BPo001]

Luka playing like ass tonight. Shots not falling, so he just loafs around the court.

[BPo001]

He?s been cheeks since the first 2-3 months of the season.

[EricaLubarsky]

"Luka doesn't look right"

Burke is 100% right. He looks like ass.

[EricaLubarsky]

14% from three

There is something supremely wrong with our psychology.

[EricaLubarsky]

The fact that THJ has one game and becomes a starter should tell you everything you need to know about Kidd as a coach.

[Melonhead]

These non Luka minute lineups are horrible.

I really can?t stand Kidd. Refuses to give Holmes or omax minutes

[EricaLubarsky]

Thank god the Lakers are missing FTs or we'd be down 12+

[EricaLubarsky]

Kyrie can play well with THJ, Green, and HArdy.

Luka and Kyrie can't play well together.

This is tough

[EricaLubarsky]

This team is so weird.

Our star can put up 20-9-6 in a half of ball and we can still be down significantly.

That's what bad defense, Kidd's insane lineups, and -12 on the boards will do.

[EricaLubarsky]

Prince is so dirty.

Injured Kyrie and tried to take out GWill

[EricaLubarsky]

Doris Burke is the only commentator making any sense.

Prince clothes lines GWill and shoves him to the ground and the other guy is just spewing his "not even a foul"

[EricaLubarsky]

Wonder if Kyrie will play the second half. Dude looks done. Things you can bounce back from at 20 hurt for weeks when you are in your 30s.

[EricaLubarsky]

Luka foul 1 and 2 11 seconds apart

[EricaLubarsky]

This is so ugly. It's a slow-motion train wreck.

-8 in the quarter

-10

[DevinHarriswillstart]

This team just always lets you down anytime you actually want them to win. No excuses. Just do it.

[Melonhead]

Think I?ll call it a night. Poor body language from Luka affects the rest of the team. They can?t stop anyone either. Keep chucking those 3s

[EricaLubarsky]

Crazy that a team that can consistently shoot 15% from three, consistently shoots 41 a game.

[EricaLubarsky]

14.3% from three on 21 attempts

[DevinHarriswillstart]

And he just becomes a black hole on offense. Why does the team look better when he isn't playing?

[Dallas41]

Nice open floor lob to THJ

Must have thought he was DJJ
