He was a +4 to Maxi's -11. If Maxi didn't nail that three, then we'd all have a very different reaction to this game.

90% of the problem with Wood is the lack of consistent minutes and role. I get he?s not the best screener or defender, and can sometimes be a chucker, but IMO if he had consistent coaching he?d be more than serviceable.

[Simon2]

I really admire Wood?s attitude. The way Kidd has been messing with him would drive anyone with a big ego nuts. Just remember one day, you can say the Mavs had Luka, Kyrie and Wood and the coach messed it up.

[Scoobay]

i'm sure Wood made some usual mistakes but dang he made some nice plays too - some great passes, and competed on defense with his length, and overall contributed even though his shot wasn't always falling.

in contrast, could be worse... D'Angelo Russell was probably our mvp - bricking shot after shot. I'd much rather have wood than russell...

also, some interesting line ups - i saw wood, powell, AND bertans all out there at one point... and why the heck was Pinson it at the end of the game?

I believe with 6 seconds left he would have dribbled the clock down and took the step back 3

Watching the game I honestly wondered where we?d be if we traded Luka for some good support pieces. Kyrie and a good supporting cast could be solid.

Kidd is doing the same thing to Hardy. Guy gives everything he had with all the team injuries and gets 6 minutes this game as his reward.

[SMC0007]

The idea of trading Luka is bad. But if you toy with that idea, it's because of our coach and Owner have been fumbling the ball. If you toy with that idea, yo DO get a big haul back. But you DO NOT try to build around Kyrie, one of thr biggest wild cards in the sport.

I think Kai dueces out this offseason still. I hope not but I think Wood and Kai are gone leaving us 2 voids to fill and we start the season with another build that will take time to gel and won't have as much potential.

[Simon2]

Jaden Hardy with 5 mins is such a mental screw up. Kidd is ruining Wood and Hardy. Kyrie off and injury plays 38 mins. Really good management. I really am beginning to dislike it.

It's more like a Kyrie S&T for something the Lakers have. Davis? Vanderbilt? Russell?

I know there was a single source saying the Lakers won't go after Kyrie...BS.

I don?t get this either. He also sort of did it to Green. It?s either more of the fabled Kidd ?mind games? or something is seriously cognitively off with the guy. He doesn?t sound all there when he speaks.

Massive usual tampering cover up.

Kai has really said all the right things and is trusting of the guys here. I'd love for this to be just who he is now, but I don't trust it. Not at all. Not yet. If we get a snt out if him leaving , I call that a win. If we re-sign him and he wants to be here, I'll be ecstatic.

I'm not saying Pinson deserves minutes but ask yourself how many times this year have we seen terrible inbounds passes late in games from guys like kleber and THJ?

In that situation Pinson at least remained calm and made a solid inbounds pass to kyrie

It seems like a simple thing to do but Dallas has has issues with different guys panicking just to inbounds the ball in pressure situations.

Kidd has literal brainworms. It makes no sense that he keeps proving himself, then is relegated to nothing if Kyrie and/or Luka plays.

I expect Luka to come back and Kyrie to sit soon to manage his foot.

You?ve probably seen it by now, but Kyrie said that he noticed Davis was too out of position to be able to pressure Maxi?s shot.

ThJ most likely would have bricked the shot

So I'm glad the ball went elsewhere

[EricaLubarsky]

I'm just happy that we finally realized that we have other players

[EricaLubarsky]

Kyrie, Luka, Morris, and THJ all questionable for tonight

[EricaLubarsky]

Luka and Morris out

THJ and Kyrie in

[Melonhead]

Lmao at Frank being in the game before Hardy.

Kidd is so stupid

Thankfully Frank is finally making shots, but the Hardy stuff is no different than the CWood stuff. Coach just doesn't like them.

[Melonhead]

Scrub ass Brooks can only foul for his tough defense.

[Melonhead]

I really really hope Luka is doing some self reflection with how Kyrie handles himself (on the court and locker room) and communicates with his teammates.

[Melonhead]

Well that might be the season.

Edit: Kyrie is still in phew

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Poor Hardy would already be a star if not for Kidd.

[JTmoney2424]

Just pathetic watching these guys rebound. It?s like not a single one of them was ever taught how to box out before.

[JTmoney2424]

Phantom foul on Powell when Jackson initiated any if at all contact. Here comes the home cooking in Memphis

[Melonhead]

Imploding all quarter

[EricaLubarsky]

This team is unredeemable

[JTmoney2424]

Kyrie clearly can?t make a shot post injury and the only player who can is Hardy and he?s on the bench. Why?

[EricaLubarsky]

-19 in a quarter and change

[Melonhead]

Whole team standing around hoping Kyrie makes something out of nothing?

Where have I seen that before.


(Kidd gonna grind Kyrie into the ground too with Luka out)

[EricaLubarsky]

-21

[BPo001]

9 point 4th quarter lol

[JTmoney2424]

Bullock is such trash. I?ve never seen a player miss so many wide open shots.

[EricaLubarsky]

I don?t get the attitude, ?just get to the playoffs and see what happens?

No, this is what will happen. Grizzlies are playoff ball with physical play and bigs.

Although it?s too late to tank and keep our pick to Knicks about to get a really good 11-15 pick

[Simon2]

As usual, Kidd with a fantastic play to get a three for the Mavs. Its basically give the ball to Kyrie. Its just sad.

[Melonhead]

Mavs suck

[EricaLubarsky]

-23

[BPo001]

Dillon Brooks is so cringey. I bet his teammates don?t even like him.

[Dallas41]

The only thing this team is consistent at doing is blowing double digit leads
