What a joke this season is. Can’t wait for it to be over.
Im 100% team tank. The only way Im happy about a win is if Hardy drops 40 incl. a step back buzzer beating 3
Why?
I guess he wants to play a bit for the Slovenia fans.
At least they finally recognize who they are. That’s something.
so he’ll try to score 70 all in 1q?
This is all time bitch shit? Why? You’re one game out. Just go for it for fucks sake. Unreal.
Can’t believe I’m going to sit in traffic to watch this mess…
So much for “as long as we have a chance, I’ll play”. What a joke.
Mavs gonna win this game
Hope we win just for spite
Why is he even playing then?
Hahahaha what a joke. I hope OKC lose last game now (which they def gonna try for their lottery chance)
What a mess
I don’t even care anymore. Please just fire Kidd
Finally some positive news
Listen, I get it, but something just doesn’t feel right about this, especially considering last years’ unexpected/lightning-in-a-bottle playoff run.
What’s embarrassing is the kings win. Just commit to the tank before you play yourself into lesser odds. Cuban deserves all that’s coming to him this offseason.
Wait, y’all want the Mavs to win now? This sub is so fucking confusing man
We’re going to win tonight aren’t we?
So the plan was to win out and try the play-in. Then the Thunder won yesterday and the organization switched to tank mode to keep the pick. I hope it wasn’t too late
What if this backfires and Mavs win? Basketball gods are always watching
Here is the thing. Why the sudden change? We won our last game, we are still alive, and now we are tanking.
Don’t get me wrong, I am team tank, but waiting this long to tank seems stupid.
So they try balls out against the kings but because thunder didn’t lose to the Jazz they just give up. Fuck this franchise. I don’t give a fuck about some 9th or 10th pick that we’ll do nothing with. I’d rather watch games that matter and the Mavs try to win
Should have tanked after those back to back losses against the Hornets. Now we’re likely to miss out the playoffs and miss out on our draft pick. WTF is this FO doing? Mark Cuban really trying to burn this organization down to ashes man
That win against the kings was a mistake.
Loser ass mentality. The team should 100% refund tickets for this weekend
If we run back this exact roster next season I’m done.
He was only playing to chase the scoring title. Now that Embiid has that locked up, we can call it a year and move on
Endlessly disappointed. I’ll follow Luka and support him but I just hope it’s somewhere else, this team doesn’t deserve support or talented players and I pray Luka demands a trade after they lose every piece they traded for this year in the off season. Imagine giving up when the season is 2 games out and you still have a chance lol what a pathetic team
I feel bad for people who bought tickets to this game. Get to see a gleague game
Why the fuck would you do this? If you had things locked up maybe you want a player to get some rhythm rather than sit… but play the guy or don’t.
Wtf is happening ?
It’s one of those things that makes me glad I’ve never put a penny towards, I will never not torrent these games. Genuinely hope they lose everyone, fuck Texas
This team is a freaking joke, so embarrassing to do this after beating the Kings and the team was all excited still fighting and hoping
So the Mavs want to lose tonight? Lol
Let Luka take the scoring title and give him a chance for all nba
How are we gonna keep the pick? We have to lose to the Bulls right?
I’m sure the Slovenian fans will be so happy they flew 8 hours back and forth to watch him play 12 minutes and lose intentionally
imagine coming all over from slovenia just to witness this shit.
Joke of a season…so embarassing
Jason Kidd is the dumbest coach ever and mark Cuban better do something about it
most pathetic season by any franchise ever
