STD (@#$show thread daily): Mavs suckage

[BPo001]

Luka is playing super lazy defense tonight.

[LukaMagic]

Gafford has been working on those passes.

[LukaMagic]

Notice how Luka HAD TO LET THAT LAY UP absent contact. He must do that because GSW are protected by the refs. Yet he is NEVER LET TO MAKE SUCH A LAY UP because physical contact is encouraged on Luka by the refs.

[LukaMagic]

Luka doesn't get calls.

And the same is true whenever normal games of basketball are played. But the league is rigged like that. Refs let physical abuse on Luka while Steph Curry cannot be touched. He runs around, and walks around, and smiles around, and grimaces around like a ballerina in some sort of a gay* mood.

hahhahaha loved this. 2 point game, let's see if we can bring this home. I personally would take THJ out and put in Exum.

The ral gay would also apply

[BPo001]

Needed that 3

[LukaMagic]

That looked like a great block.

[LukaMagic]

I don't think it touched the backboard. Right?

[LukaMagic]

Did it count?

[blessednegr0]

Exum, our clutch 4th quarter shooter is still not in the game....

[Dallas41]

I would rather see exum in the closing lineup

[LukaMagic]

So they are reviewing this obvious goaltend. Right? But they did not review the Gafford's block which I think counted.

[Dallas41]

Please stay away from the Warriors in the playoffs

Gimme Exum over THJ anyday.

[BPo001]

Well fuck. Missed D Live tonight.

[blessednegr0]

This one is all on Kidd. Under 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter, there is no reason to have THJ or Maxi in the game...

[LukaMagic]

hihi Class Luka play.

[LukaMagic]

Sheer class.

[LukaMagic]

That guy wasn't on skates. I think he was blown away. lol

[BPo001]

Draymonds block on Gafford not a jump ball? Looks like he capped it.

[LukaMagic]

Great 3 PJ.

PJ shouldn?t be shooting 10 3?s unless he is hot

[blessednegr0]

13 bench points to 39 absolutely embarrassing.

[BPo001]

Fucking Klay traveled!

[LukaMagic]

How GSW work and win games.

Unbelievable. Can't believe they didn't call that.

[JTmoney2424]

Not that it mattered tonight but Exum has worked wonders in the closing role but THJ was in there tonight? I wonder if Exum was dinged up.

I?m sorry but when a travel is that obvious, you have to call it. Horrible officiating

[blessednegr0]

We had a good run. Expecting to go 5/5 against playoff hopefuls on the road, was a bit of a stretch. I honestly bet the Mavericks to win the championship recently. Sadly, that's not going to happen with Kidd and his rotations.

We say it EVERY single game. Our 4th quarter lineup is absolutely trash. Maxi and THJ aren't it. Why don't we give DJJ, Exum, Gafford more minutes?

GSW played the hell out of Luka this game, I hope the rest of the NBA is not taking note of this going into the playoffs.

PJ is the truth but he should not be limited to a 3 point shooter.

There's my rant.

[EricaLubarsky]

Streak ended but I?m not too upset. With Lively we win.

Now we gotta figure out how to win without him and pray to god he comes back for/before the playoffs

This was a great sign by PJ. He struggled with 3s, and 3s are not something like his specialty. But he made the one when it really mattered, with clock running out, in the last seconds of the game, and after a drawn-out play after a time-out. It's a good sign that he made that shot. Maybe he has a capacity to lock in and concentrate when it matters.

I am looking further into the numbers and the rotation is trash.

We have DJJ starting in our lineup who is an x-factor. He only gets 18 minutes tonight compared to Maxi getting 17 minutes. We can easily bump a STARTING player to 30 minutes per game.

Dwight Powell 9 minutes this game, -8 on the score sheet. ZERO points, including 2 missed free throws.

Kidd NEEDS to tighten up this roster before we fall out of position for playoffs, being seeded 4/5/6.

What starters in the league only get 18 minutes a game like DJJ? Are we afraid DJJ can't guard Draymond? Is Draymond going to drop 50 on us?

Time and time again, we blow leads with THJ and Maxi in the game. ESPECIALLY at the same time... I honestly don't even remember if Exum got a 4th quarter minute in the game. Exum - better defender, better scoring percentage than THJ. Yet we don't have him in for the closing minutes.

Against Sacramento, Exum missed 3 easy buckets but came through clutch with the final dagger. Exum produces more than THJ night in and night out.


Lastly, I love Luka and these trick shots. He should have put his foot on GSW necks at the end of the game. He forced passes and didn't give us a cushion or opportunity to win. Luka shot the best percentage and didn't force the issue.

We needed this win for home court.

Here is the very first play by Green on Luka. He did that on purpose. And notice how he grabs Luka after. That is how abusers work. He hit him on purpose and then acted like "he is sorry." That's how Green works.

This same thing needs to happen to Steph Curry. Someone needs to do this to Steph Curry so that Curry thinks a bit about the possibility of getting a concussion, or his wrist being injured. That is how basketball works in leagues in which no player is protected and rough play is allowed. But in this league, Steph Curry and others on GSW team are protected, while Luka carries a huge target on his back and Green is actually encouraged and allowed to do this.

And, of course, Kerr and Green DO THIS TOGETHER. They plan this together. And then they cry to the refs together. All the while Steph Curry "runs around, and walks around, and smiles around, and grimaces around like a ballerina in some sort of a gay* mood.

I agree, this was a bad start to the game. As soon as that happened they let both sides play on defense. Whistles were short on both ends.

We need our team to step up during times like this. Nobody gives a damn if Draymond gets checked in the air or during a shot by Maxi or Powell. If we aren't going to match the energy of the opposing team, we are going to lose. I feel this team is tight, outside of the rotations. Our Mavericks should have bodied someone like Draymond did against Luka. Let them know that this shit is not tolerable. Worst case scenario, Draymond tries to retaliate and he's out the game.

[LukaMagic]

And notice how they planned this: The v e r y first play. When there is the least likelihood of Green getting attention for a clearly abusive play.

And then they CRY TOGETHER to the refs.

[LukaMagic]

Those Sacramento games were a lovely watch because they were decently refereed games. There was no obvious bias. This was not a normal game. No game @ GSW is a normal game. They're always like that. They get huge advantages like that all the time. That's what GSW are as an organization and as a team. That's how they work.

Steph Curry is kept clueless. He's Draymond's bitch that "runs around, and walks around, and smiles around, and grimaces around like a ballerina in some sort of a gay* mood.

We have that play as you've highlighted. They have to protect an MVP candidate.

On our end, we have the GSW starting and playing Trayce Jackson-Davis playing 21 minutes against us. Less than DJJ, who was active defensively but wasn't on offensively tonight. More than Hardy, tied with Exum for minutes and outshined by minutes by our GOAT THJ.

We are not fully utilizing our roster.
