GDT: game 18/81 - Cubs (4-13) at Mavs (11-6) 6:30

[EricaLubarsky]

Early game.

Injuries have the Grizz playing like baby cubs

Mavs injuries: Kleber (toe) out, THJ (back) questionable, OMax (ankle) questionable
Grizz injuries: Adams (knee) , Clark (achilles) , Kennard (knee) , Smart (foot), LaRavia (eye), Morant (douchenozzle) OUT, Tillman (knee) QUESTIONABLE

Mavs are favored and 6-2 against bad teams. Gotta take care of business. Thunder are big, strong, and long, and coming to bully us tomorrow.

WHAT

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Feel like Luka does this a couple times a year. Maybe it's serious, but a few other times weren't. It's a huge disservice for people paying big bucks to see him.

Its tough. Hope everything is OK. If theres an option, it would be ideal to miss an away game. Life doesnt happen based around convenience most times though

His fiance had their baby. I had no idea they were expecting, but seems like a good enough reason for him to be out tonight.

THJ officially ruled out.

[EricaLubarsky]

One minute in and on pace for a thrilling 0-0 game

[EricaLubarsky]

Lawl

Kidd teams are soft as kleenex

[EricaLubarsky]

-5 to the worst team in the NBA

[EricaLubarsky]

-8 to the worst team in the NBA

[EricaLubarsky]

HOLMES

[EricaLubarsky]

these poor fans paying to watch in person

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Again, it's just bad defense.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

A guy that averages 1.3 ppg has 7 already. This is just reverting back to last season stuff with Kidd.

Yes, but also bad offense.

33% and 18% from three with three TOs.

This team is trash on both sides

[EricaLubarsky]

Holy shit, this team would stick out as unprofessional/amateur in the GLeague

[EricaLubarsky]

5turnovers
34% shooting
18% from three

Allowing 52% shooting

On pace for a 112-80 loss

[Scoobay]

weird how Josh Green looks so good at times whenever Luka is not there.

[EricaLubarsky]

S O F T

[Scoobay]

Wow kidd pulling morris out of the break in case of emergency kit? kitchen sink sighting confirmed

[EricaLubarsky]

I mean it can?t be worse. We?re down 10 to the worst team in the league with a mental midget coach

[Melonhead]

Painful

[EricaLubarsky]

Pay attention, Miriam.

This is what Kidd gives. It?s not like we?re depleted. This team is only down Luka and a couple of bench guys. Grizz are missing multiple starters.


Kidd will refuse to coach, say he can?t control the game, and then throw the players under the bus by saying ?the guys didn?t play hard enough?

Rinse and repeat.

[EricaLubarsky]

-16

[Melonhead]

This team stinks

[DevinHarriswillstart]

But don't be so negative guys! We're only losing by 15 to a 4-13 team at home.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

I still take solace in the fact that Powell is finally out of the lineup seemingly for good.

If only our 40 mil a year superstar could make a basket.

[SMC0007]

Yalls negativity is going to make people leave this forum.

[Melonhead]

Kidd went into the locker room and said yall have to come back and win or Tim might ask me a question about my coaching ability


Great to see some life from this team.

[EricaLubarsky]

Holmes is solid

Glad we?re seeing Powell move to player coach

[EricaLubarsky]

Holmes making Bane his bitch

Three possessions where Bane ran into Holmes and it ended up a null possession

[Melonhead]

Green just aint it. He just threw a laser at the rim for his wide open 3

[EricaLubarsky]

This would be a nice time for Kyrie to finally catch fire

[Melonhead]

God this team is frustrating to watch

kyrie's been bottled up for the most part - shooting 2-12 is poop.

Seth playing well - nice to see - much needed spark.

For whoever the Grizz are missing, i think most of us would say that JJJ and Bane are at least top 50 players currently. They should be better than what they have been.

[EricaLubarsky]

Man if Kyrie wasn?t 2-13 we?d be up

[EricaLubarsky]

Leading scorer is Williams with 14
Seth second with 12
Green and DJJ with 10

Kyrie only 8 despite 13 shots
