Combined GDTs for this sh$#show

[Melonhead]

Just thinking about dumb stuff Kidd does, I really don?t like playing Luka full first quarter and full third quarter. I think it tires a player out, potentially less effective in those extra minutes of the quarter, inevitably going to play slower.

[Melonhead]

So sick of hearing about how Luka isn?t in good shape

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Kyrie is so good.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Let's see if we can hold the lead because the defense still isn't good. We're just shooting ridiculously well.

[Melonhead]

Those last 3 minutes is exactly what I?m talking about with Luka playing full quarters.

[ShaggyDirk]

Disgusting.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

lmao nope. This team is a joke.

[Melonhead]

Lmaooooooo

[BPo001]

Can we get a replay of that ?foul??

[Melonhead]

Mavs games will always be like this because of their defense and rebounding.

[SMC0007]

In the latest episode of : Live by the 3 and die by the 3. Wild and highly entertaining game.

Helps to hit FTs , rebound and defend but that's for a different season.

[Dallas41]

This team nearly pulled off a 2nd choke job in less than a week nearly blowing another 20+ point lead

I think at this point no game safe vs Dallas because as someone else pointed out this a piece shit defensive team and they can't rebound.

I'm happy just to see a win at this point.

It's still frustrating having to watch the same two centers from last years playoffs be the top two options once again (powell/Kleber) which means we can expect to get destroyed once again in the post season on the boards and in the paint.

Just played vs AD & Embid and McGee didn't even sniff the floor just to see if he could at least matchup with them.

This team might be the modern day Denver Nuggets from the 80's who had to in games 130-125 but ultimately that style of play never won them shit in the playoffs.

[dirt_dobber]

Kyrie in 8 games as a Mav...
52/42.6/91.2 and 26.6 ppg

[tap2390]

Of course the Mavs win this when we?re ready to out a fork in ?em. The classic boyfriend who does one good deed right when you?re ready to break up. Give Javale 5 MPG Kidd you POS.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Thank god we didn't play Frank Ntilikina. I'll take that as a small victory on top of the win.

[saclare]

Josh back to starting and what looks like a clean rotation, though I only chalk that up to the Mavs letting them back into the game in the 4th.

Agreed that Luka has taken some of it to heart and seemed less talkative to refs and more dialed in.

Luka and Kyrie both played 40+ minutes but you see what happens when they click. Run 'em into the ground this year and let's see if lightning strikes. It absolutely can happen, but as most will point out, it's more likely defense and rebounding spoil any run.

Fun game to watch, big time bounce back win. Hope they can continue to gel, maybe squeeze a practice in, and apparently just getting an opportunity to sit down and watch film has them looking better. We shall see.

Such a stupid decision to play Holiday ahead of Green in the first place. Kidd pisses me off.

It's not just rebound and defense. It's very much also live and die by the 3 ball. When we are bombs away and hitting everything It's fn fools gold.

yep. every damn time we fall for this. they went 25/48 from 3 lol

i mean its nice, especially to beat a great team with it, but this is a once in a blue moon game.

Even with hitting 25 3?s they almost blew it and lost the game.

[EricaLubarsky]

Thread for the big game today? If so, who?

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Maxi out.

[BPo001]

Mavs are going to get cooked. Ayton will feast early. Booker/Durant will finish us off.

[Dallas41]

Ayton going to feast on this little team

McGee probably won't even sniff the floor

Suns have mismatches all over the floor so hopefully the mavs hit another 25 threes today to stay in it

[Dallas41]

Shir too easy for KD

Mavs have no defenders to throw at him

[BPo001]

Most teams don?t. Hard to guard a 7 footer with guard handles and unlimited range.

[BPo001]

Holiday shouldn?t have left his man. Let Booker take a tough shot

[BPo001]

Are we going to get good THJ for the Sunday matinee?

[BPo001]

Booker has such a punchable face.

[Dallas41]

Man I hope when Powell returns he doesn't allow ayton to dominate inside

[Dallas41]

I must admit I was impressed with wood defensively for that short stretch vs ayton

[BPo001]

Herbie is hard to understand with all of PHX dicks in his mouth.

[Melonhead]

Will always hate the way they have Luka in a full quarter, almost anyone would be struggle with that. Then 18 straight minutes before/after halftime.

[Melonhead]

He?s just horrible in space. With Ayton being a traditional big Wood can stay on him.

[Dallas41]

Luka trying to play hero ball

Should've moved it around

[Melonhead]

Chris Paul fouled him twice and no whistle

[Melonhead]

No call on Luka, then the softest foul on Paul

[Melonhead]

How tf is that offensive

[Scoobay]

yeah stfu Hubie

[Melonhead]

Shocked they overturned it
