Mavs @ Thunder

This game was circled as a loss. We're not good without Luka. Thought that was something that everyone pretty much understood at this point.

And yeah, Hardy's game looks bad until you look at the rest of do nothing bench. The reality is we need to let this kid have bad games and not overreact to it. Even 20 year olds are tired on short quick b2b. Key is to let him learn from his mistakes and keep playing him. I wasn't crazy about some of the lineups Kidd was running with him either. He played him with Wright and Frank at one point. Wright has been unplayably bad the last four games.

Again, circled loss. They will take the Clippers game seriously.

Regarding Hardy, those lineups were tough. IMO, he should be the one driving and handling the ball more than THJ. Thj was bricking layups and clunky off the drive. He also took a lot of bad shots and never looked to pass. Hard could have had at least 3 more assists last night if Frank, Thj and a cpl other hit open shots.

Fully agree that you have to keep playing him after games like this. It wasn't a bad game, we just don't have enough talent to create and convert on chances to score.
