GDT: game 2/82 - Nets (0-1) at Mavs (1-0) 7:30

[EricaLubarsky]

Lively 0 PFs and still cant see the floor over Powell

[EricaLubarsky]

Same shit, different year.

Powell playing over Lively and Mavs losing stupid winable games.

Kidd shrugging like he has no control

It's boring to watch for fans, but it's predictable for opposing coaches. Kidd HAS to coach and get more complexity. He can't just shrug and say we have Luka, because it's been years and our offense is stagnating as teams realize there is no dynamism

You nailed it. Boring to watch, predictable for opposing coaches, and it hurts our clutch offense and/or having a movement offense.

[EricaLubarsky]

Lively +1. Powell -9 but Powell deserves the major stretch in the fourth.

[blessednegr0]

THJ so bad he even scoring for the other team!

[Melonhead]

Lost count of THJ bricks.

Least he can tip in the other teams bucket

[EricaLubarsky]

Lively 0 fouls and can't sniff 16mpg. I am frustrated.

Its embarrassing honestly.

Just more Powell, THJ and Maxi. Just keep sticking with a failing formula. Good
Shit.

[Melonhead]

I?m shocked Lively isn?t in the game.

Can?t wait for weird aggressive Kidd post game

[EricaLubarsky]

-10 on the boards and we are officially the same awful, unwatchable team that cant rebound, can't defend, can't block shots, can't get steals, and plays Powell major minutes while our offense plays like an NBA Live 2001 computer player running the same ineffective shit over and over.

Feels like a nightmare. All the roster change and and yet?

[EricaLubarsky]

Kidd is a dumb prick

[EricaLubarsky]

Powell + Kleber = 30 minutes
Lively with 0 fouls - 17min

[blessednegr0]

I am so over this. Why the hell is Lively not in the game? He should be getting starter minutes. I don't care what Powell has done in the 4th... Same old storry.

THJ needs to be traded now.

[EricaLubarsky]

Totally winnable game lost by Kidd

[EricaLubarsky]

Kidd might be the stupidest kid in any given kindergarten class in Denton. How is he even an NBA coach?

[BPo001]

Maxi: 22 min. 0 pts.

[twistaeffect2004]

MORE THJ is exactly what is needed. I hate this franchise.

[EricaLubarsky]

Final three min and Lively can?t play

This is the Mavs on Kidd and it won?t change as long as we have Kidd.

[EricaLubarsky]

Kidd is a fucking moron.

[twistaeffect2004]

THJ not even looking at the opposition. Fuck you Kidd

[EricaLubarsky]

Give up back to back good threes and our answer is a blocked THJ midranger.

No defense at all in the game right now and our defense is still isos

[EricaLubarsky]

Luka having one of his flamethrower games and trying to erase the real story here that Kidd would be completely at an elementary school YMCA coaching gig.

[twistaeffect2004]

Oh my god

[EricaLubarsky]

We should have lost that game with coaching that bad.

Don?t know if I should be happy we have Luka or sad that Kidd continues to hide his incompetence behind Luka

[twistaeffect2004]

I just can?t believe that with all the major additions this offseason we honestly saw major minutes for THJ, Powell and Kleber.

[BPo001]

Let?s hope they are trying to showcase THJ playing him 30 min.

I bet Curry is glad he came back to play 8 min. Hardy once again can?t get off the bench.

[Dallas41]

Nice to see the same redundant trioof Powell, THJ and Kleber all find their way to top of the rotations.

Meanwhile guys like OMAX, Exum and Holmes who can all defend in some ways sit the fucking bench.

It's just a matter of time before Lively starts playing token minutes as a starter just to hide the fact that they truly want Powell playing those important minutes

[Melonhead]

Somehow I ended up in game 1 thread and was just yelling at myself. Anyways Luka cures all but like

What was the point of Holmes, DJJ, developing Hardy, SETH CURRY, Exum, Grant Williams, Lively???

I feel like I?m going crazy right now. And Luka saved the team from Kidds coaching.

[BPo001]

I didn?t watch the game because Bally sports/Cuban don?t want people to watch, but lots of people on IG are saying Lively got hurt and that?s why he didn?t play in the second half?

[EricaLubarsky]

Luka is going to keep Kidd as coach and it drives me insane

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Glad I missed this one as the Lively shit woulda just sent me over the edge.

There is no center on the team better than Lively...period.

[FreshJive]

At least Luka looks like he is ready to go already and didn't looked gassed at all after the game. Kyrie has looked like shit so far. He scored less points than THJ on the same amount of shots. He'll eventually get going, and Luka won't have to be superman for every win.

[Dtownsfinest]

I was completely wrong on Holmes I really thought he would be a contributor here.

Solid win. 2-0.

[SMC0007]

Good to have 2 wins.

Kidd is total fucking clown shoes. Stupid ass starting line up. Stupid ass rotations. Stupid ass playing Maxi and Powell WAYYYY TOO MUCH. Stupid ass playing THJ- aka the king of you hustle offensive rebound my terrible missed shot and give it to me and I'll immediately jack another brick, pfffag. Stupid ass not even playing Lively. Stupid ass not playing Holmes, Curry, Hardy.

Luka refused to lose. Kid wont get berated anywhere but here because... Luka

DJJ shouldnt be starting or logging many minutes.

Free throws are cool too. We should try to make more of those.
.
Imagine any top coach not playing Lively, with THIS roster. Imagine any top coach utilizing the rotations like this.

2-0 is nice. But we definitely still have some of the same issues. Imagine POP saying Wemby hasnt seen those guys (small ball) vs fn Nets.like Kidd did in post game .

Correction....There is no center on this team other than Lively..period.

[SMC0007]

Literally have to trade Maxi, Dp and Thj to keep Kidd from stepping on his own dick. Id be ok with almost any trade one could create to remove them from Kidds toy collection.

[Melonhead]

I?m still beyond shock that Kidd reverted to THJ Kleber and Powell for the 4th quarter.

It took two games. And because Luka went nuclear, he?s going to keep going back to that lineup. Not going to be gaslit into watching 80 games of this garbage.

Also Luka leads the league in isos after two games. This is what the team is until Kidd is gone.

And it kills the brilliant Luka performance because it's right back to winning with Luka hero ball instead of smart team play. He'll be run down by midseason again.

But Kidd wants to coach hero Luka ball? Fine. Want to play THJ? Fine, we still need the shooting. Want to start DJJ over Green? I still kinda get it.

Benching Lively with 0 fouls shooting 100% from the field...FIRE THAT MAN!!!!

I watched the highlights and Lively was as disruptive as ever. 2 rebounds in 17 minutes isn't obviously good, but otherwise, he was super active.

[BPo001]

I want someone to ask Cuban why no Lively or Hardy and see what Bs response he comes up with. I thought Holmes would be contributing too, but apparently not.
