Combined GDTs for this sh$#show

[Dallas41]

Rebounding is a little better with Mcgee on the floor

[EricaLubarsky]

Hardy plays so damn well with THJ and Kyrie

[Dallas41]

Fuck

Powell back in

[Dallas41]

Good defense Luka

Let him blow right by you

[EricaLubarsky]

Every once in a while Powell just has a stellar game

This is not one

Lol

Dude has more fouls than rebounds or pts

[Dallas41]

More Luka post up's please

Less 3's

[Dallas41]

If Powell fouls out early in the 2nd half and THJ gets put on a leash the mavs might actually win this game

[Dallas41]

Please stop trying to pass Powell the ball

[Dallas41]

Luka going to start launching all 3's instead of taking the posy up shots

[JTmoney2424]

Luka has 4.8 seconds to make a move and he launches a one handed 3. Shit like that is inexcusable

[Dallas41]

Nice box out by wood

[Dallas41]

Good call putting in Mcgee before wood starts making too many dumb plays

[Dallas41]

Yeah he should have made a quicker decision or pass but it luka he's always going to dribble til the last second

There was one play kyrie was wide open clapping his hands and Luka kept dribbling vs a double team lol

[Dallas41]

Good job Mcgee

They should've challenged the call

[Dallas41]

Can't understand why they didn't challenge that goaltend it was a clean block

[JTmoney2424]

Relying on 3s way too much. Sole reason why Philly has the lead back now.

[Dallas41]

Kleber fuckibg up

[Dallas41]

Fycking THJ and Wood always makes the worse fouls at the wrong time

[Dallas41]

Kleber playing scared as shit

[JTmoney2424]

Bunch of chokers. Completely falling apart In crunch time yet again vs a team that already is locked in the playoffs and has little to gain from this game.

[BPo001]

Gave that shit away at the end

[Dallas41]

Kleber plays scared, Powell has no size and Wood is weak as shit

Then when it matters most they always give up a fuckibg crucial late game rebound

Not sure how the fuck THJ can never learn to box someone out and then he committs yet another stupid ass foul as a result of it

[JTmoney2424]

Were they like 1 for their last 9 on 3s? At some point Kidd needs to make sure these guys drive and take better shots.

[Melonhead]

Good loss.

Although refs missed a goaltend, and a few fouls that should?ve been on Philly in the 4th.

We really need some good coaches that know how to get the best out of Luka Kyrie on the floor together.

Another guy that should be long gone. Once he got lucky with the bank 3, you knew he was going to go full chuck mode and make nothing the rest of the game. Typical THJ

Wood, THJ and Powell

Those 3 guys would be addition by subtraction this off season

Apparently they shopped both THJ and Wood at the deadline and no team wanted either guy which is very telling.

They have to figure out a way to flip those two guys for a quality wing defender. The roster is too offensive heavy and those two can be replaced easily

It's a shame with the west being so wide open this year Luka won't even make the playoffs. The fucking lakers were terrible all year and then completely changed their outlook by making multiple trades at the deadline

[SMC0007]

Why the fvck is Kidd not challenging that Kleber offensive foul at 4 mins left? That was clear cut non call at worst but likely overturnedd to defensive foul on Embiid if challenged. Kleber is so scared that he doesn't even really complain about it. I've said this for 3 years now, Kleber is deer in the headlights.

I'll be so happy to see Bullock, DP and THJ gone. Good people but so sickening to watch them be relied on.

McGee can't get mins after that performance on Monday. Such a Kidd mind fvck. I swear Kidd had an brain aneurysm or a stroke last summer. Dude had the audacity to recently complain about the team not playing with any desperation. That mf hasn't coached or managed the roster with any.

2-7 still looking good. We are going to finish the season in no man's land. Other teams also backing into the play in, but San Antonio of all teams will put the final dagger in. Cuban isn't going to stand up and make changes. We will scramble to replace key guys and have a worse roster next season, with a bum head coach and still have people paying to go watch the games.

Another Tough loss rant

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Phew, that was closer than I'd of liked. Glad we pulled out the L in the end.

And yeah, I'd say the collective BBIQ of this team is in the garbage.

[Melonhead]

This team is a legitimate joke.

Article this morning Kidd saying how we?re going to need to rely on McGee tonight against Embiid.

Six minutes.

[SMC0007]

Things are kind of a cluster F in Dallas right now. - Kyrie.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Sad that I don't really care if we lost Luka and Kyrie. That's how much this team has sucked the life out of me.

But there is no way I'm blaming Luka. Everyone shitting on him now don't get that he had to carry this sorry ass team on his back the first half of the season. I called that back in August that it would wear him down.

That and worst in league coaching will get you nowhere. Put a real team around Luka with a good coach or trade him.

The fun is gone.

Unlike vaccines having microchips and African Americans being the real Jews,

Kyrie is speaking some truth this time

Six minutes.

After Mcgee beat Embiid down the floor and got that fast break dunk I thought for sure he would finish the game

Dallas went ahead 103-100 with about 7 minutes left.

But for some reason Kidd felt Kleber was the guy needed to close and it backfired

Kleber was a disaster that entire 4th qtr down the stretch refusing to take open shots

Might as well stuck with Mcgee even though he doesn't space the floor

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Kidd is basically begging Cuban to take the bait and fire him. Why though? This all seems like it's on purpose.

I mean, just read this postgame quote..

?Yeah, you know, when you look at [Jaden Hardy]'s end of game in today's game, they were taking advantage of him being a rookie. They put him in everything and he struggled. So, I didn't want to leave him out there on an island and when you look at [Christian Wood], he understands there were some breakdowns so we had to figure out how to get some stops once we were down. And then, also be able to score and for both of those guys offensively, it wasn't you know, at a high level. So I went with a different group to be able to generate offense and defense at the same time.?

[Simon2]

So tired of Mavs jacking up threes. Anyone told them they are just 9th in 3pt% in the league. They aren?t even top 5 so why try to use this attack as often? I just feel its laziness. Of course it is easier to just jack up threes then drive to the hoop and try to get fouled. Its too boring on isolation ball or jacking up 3s over and over. They must be making these in practice a lot. Just look at some of the players wasting time playing around by jacking up half court shots in practice. What a waste of time.

Luka is one of the very few superstars in the history of the league that falls out of shape as the season progresses. And this is not unique to this season as it has become a trend. What this effectively suggests is that he lacks a full time commitment to his trade. Reminds me of the early Dirk tenure when Dirk finally realized that he had to begin eating better, minimizing alcohol consumption, accept the fact that aerobic conditioning is a constant discipline, etc.

How Luka responds to this dismal season will tell us everything that we need to know about his future.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

I really honestly feel the way Kidd treated Wood sent shockwaves through the team and ruined the season from the get-go. It made no sense and still doesn't. Does Wood have flaws? Yes. Is he still our best big man? Yes.

Why dick around the only guy who has a chance to hold the fort down?

And if you don't want to play him, then why not play McGee?

[EricaLubarsky]

So many things to blame

1) the league just got better
2) The rule changes made defense harder and we were already running a totally contraption-based defense that was held together with scotch tape
3) We ran Luka too hard. He had to put up 50 every night which lead to him having really poor defense
4) Which led to no defensive accountability
5) Which was worsened by his lack of conditioning
6) Wood was probably mistreated, but also lead to a lot of poor defense
7) Kidd jerked around the S5 and rotations mercilessly so no one got comfortable
8) Kidd set no clear roles so guys are uncomfortable doing their thing (just look at Kleber hesitating to shoot
9) While Luka dominated the ball, the rest of the guys never got touches and the team lost trust in one another leading to shooting slumps
10) Kidd is just a dick

I totally agree. It is totally amazing that a 23 year old now barely 24 year old kid who runs around 2 plus hours every other night could actually get flabby and heavier as the season progresses. It is not the lack of exercise but instead a lack of caloric discipline. He is obviously eating and potentially drinking too much. Remember kids there is no amount of exercise you can't out eat if you are not careful. Perhaps skipping some meals or even whole days of eating on non game days might help Luka finally get lean.
