GDT: game 11/82 - MIDSEASON TOURNEY Mavs (8-2) at Pels (4-6) 7:00pm

[twistaeffect2004]

You had to expect the Pelicans to show up like this after being embarrassed on Sunday.

[Melonhead]

About to turn this shit off. Pathetic effort

[EricaLubarsky]

2-12 with 6TOs and -18

Luka should be pulled

Mavs on pace for a 38pt blowout

[Melonhead]

Luka 10 feet away from his man

[Melonhead]

Lmaoo okay goodnight folks

This team is not a serious team

[EricaLubarsky]

Mavs superstar THJ

[EricaLubarsky]

55% and 42% from three

This is Nuggets all over again.

All teams have to do is throw muscle around and we fold

I mean, thats complete hyperbole but i understand the frustration. These games will happen.

[EricaLubarsky]

Kidd, just send Luka to the locker room. Dude doesn?t play when he isn?t in a good mood. Only positive runs were with him on the bench.

[EricaLubarsky]

-20 and the shit play continues

[EricaLubarsky]

Luka only 2 TO from the double double

[EricaLubarsky]

Livey threes and we?ve officially become last year?s team

[EricaLubarsky]

Starting to score but let them get reallllly comfy with 54 and 42% shooting

[EricaLubarsky]

32 PITP and 33pts off threes.

65 of their 89 points are layups, dunks, or open threes.

Mavs being 24th in defense and 27th in rebounding is going to lose us a few games in the regular season and a lot in the postseason.

[EricaLubarsky]

-21 and still on pace to lose by 35 like I called.

[EricaLubarsky]

-23

[EricaLubarsky]

Only watching to see if Luka gets his double-double

[EricaLubarsky]

NBA teams play a little defense and play a little rough

Mavs:

[EricaLubarsky]

We have lost every single quarter and the message could not be clearer.

[EricaLubarsky]

Even Kyrie going 0-2

Them vibes are far from immaculate.

[EricaLubarsky]

Kidd is an idiot for not pulling the starters already. This game was lost in the first quarter.

[EricaLubarsky]

four straight missed FTs

-28'

This team is not serious yet

[EricaLubarsky]

Not much to take away from this other than the Mavs have some serious issues with muscle and length and when we face a little defensive issues, the team follows Luka down a rabbit hole of self-pity and tantrums.

[EricaLubarsky]

Pelicans are spiteful bastards.

Mavs are three deep from the bench with Curry, Hardy, and Holmes

Trash Pelicans team still has starters out there

[EricaLubarsky]

Hardy should be making a case for himself but is utterly awful

Holmes on the other hand is playing hard

[EricaLubarsky]

Good god Curry 4 stls

[EricaLubarsky]

12-2 run for Holmes, OMax, and Hardy

I just assumed NOLA had the bench squad it. Not sure how Holmes can?t get more minutes. Dude has 6pts/5 boards in 7 minutes.

[EricaLubarsky]

Can?t believe Ingram and Zion are still in

[SMC0007]

Luka was pathetic. Its rare that you can pin an entire game on his shoulders but he looked like basketball diaries out there. Got into some heroin or something.

Kidd is the best coach. He is an elite motivator, elite strategist and a chess master. No coach moves the pieces around better.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

This game doesn't mean diddly do. Like, who would honestly made a schedule where you play the same team b2b in their arena. So dumb.

Is this a Kidd quote lol cmon. This wasn?t a regular loss. It was an embarrassment

I?m not being hyperbolic when I say that might be the worst game I?ve watched of the Luka era.

There is almost no way that this was going to be a win. Yes, it was bad, but again, it's a stupid schedule thing. Losing by 1 or 40 doesn't really move the needle for me when it wasn't going to be a win either way.

And it was a total reverse last game. NO got their asses kicked just as badly last game.

[FreshJive]

Luka looked like the fbi was raiding his house, because his girlfriend was scamming him. He should have been pulled, after throwing away that lazy pass to Kyrie.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

The plus side is seeing guys who need to get minutes and develop actually get that since the whole game was basically garbage minutes.

Omax and Holmes were decent. Lively pulled down 9 rebounds in 21 minutes.

Holmes just isn't a very good defender, but he is competent otherwise.

[saclare]

Meh, just one of those games. Don't get too twisted on it. I turned it off some point in the 3rd.

I dont put weight behind good teams not being able to beat a team twice in a row. An Ok team with a poor coach wont help the cause. I dont expect US to do it, but good luck to any teams in the playoffs that cant win 2 games in a row vs the same team. The schedule sucks, but it wasnt back to back nights.

It was a piss poor effort by Luka in every aspect. Tonight is a big bounce back opportunity but expectations are low being a back 2 back
