    good fight. i hate that we went back to small. we beat them with Luka, maybe even without him if we’re not on a back to back. onto the next one.

  2. trapford-chris

    Im really worried for josh. I just zoomed in frame by frame and it looks bad. really bad. You can see his ankle bent way beyond 90°, to the point you can see bottom of his fibula bulging. Your ankle almost never bends like that, without severe damage. I really hope I’m wrong. Prayers out to him for a good recovery

  3. CrevicesOfMyAnus

    Kidd rolling with an old washed up maxi over gafford who was dominating is very concerning. 

  4. iEatChoCornbread

    Yeah I hope okc gets bounced in the first round

  5. tigereyesheadset

    Imagine we had a role player consistently step up holy shit

  6. HouseMassive4507

    Good Fight without Luka. But 19 turnovers just killed us.

  7. C0MRADE_UIM

    Pretty good game considering we were expected to lose.

  8. D-1-_-1-D

    if i’ve learned anything, it’s that shai being an mvp candidate is fucking laughable

  9. tonguspongus

    As it turns out, Kidd did not, in fact, learn that we have an advantage in our two centers. He is playing THJ and Maxi and our team out of the playoffs.

  10. CrevicesOfMyAnus

    I can tell you one thing the suns, lakers, mavs, warriors mouth gotta be watering with this as a potential first round matchup

  11. I hope we get them in the playoffs. Shai not gonna do close to this in the playoffs, Williams will be their best player then tbh

  12. The most obvious rigged game I’ve seen. Silver lining is, we could definitely take this OKC team in a playoff series EVEN without Luka.

  13. Witteness82

    Where’s that “Maxi is untradable” guy at? Dude is cooked

  14. cowboysmavs

    One of the rare losses this year I’m actually not mad about. Team played hard all night and we covered.

  15. Methodic36

    We beat them with luka you can’t convince me otherwise

  16. CheetahSperm18

    Maxi needs to be demoted down the rotation. Hardy needs to be above Tim, and PJ needs to be pulled before he builds a house late in the game with all these bricks

  17. Historical_Chip_2706

    Maybe PJ tries shooting closer …. this whole 3 thing isn’t working right now

  18. OriginalWilhelm

    Should’ve benched PJ. Overall net negative when you can’t make shit

  19. A_MASSIVE_PERVERT

    If PJ was slightly below average we win. Oh well

  20. ThaPurpleHulk

    Why is Kidd obsessed with playing Maxi at the 5? Gafford or Lively should be on the court at all times.

  21. Acreativeusername69

    Can I file sexual assault allegations against the commentators tonight for the fellatio they were performing on the Thunder tonight? I don’t think they said a single positive thing about the mavs today.

  22. SGA is literally the anti Kyrie. Foul merchant.

  23. ttudrums

    Mind boggling use of Maxi at the 5 down the stretch. Absolute malpractice and indefensible decision. It’s games like these, where players are out, where Kidd’s ineptitude is magnified the most.

  24. this_is_a_name522

    The refs were giving them soft calls and we are getting no calls,PJ was literally thj on the 3 in his shooting slump,all things aside we didn’t have luka josh got injured exum and gafford almost got injured but we fought back,just try and beat Denver next game we can win this!

  25. Jcarter1632

    Love the effort and intesity tonight. This new Mavs team is scrappy and I like it.

    Disagree with sitting Gaff in the final 4 minutes though.

  26. doctorbarber33

    This game was winnable. Gutted for Josh Green and hope Exum is okay going forward. I hope this bullshit shows everyone how vulnerable OKC is. The way they looked tonight fully healthy I think the only team they can beat in 7 is the Warriors.

  27. kbwcom48

    Hardy was good. Good defense and did a good job playmaking as well

  28. CrazyCosmicFortune

    It took OKC 48 minutes to beat an 8th seed without their best player.

  29. braexclusive_

    why close out with kleber and gafford is literally feasting the entirety of the game 🤦🏾‍♂️

  30. Impressive_Amoeba263

    SGA should not be in the mvp conversation. The guy’s a free throw merchant.

    I don’t get what people like about his game.

  31. LogansGambit

    Refs sold, Josh went down, Exum, PJ and Kleber were all terrible, 19 TO’s, and yet they only won by 7.

    It’s always HOW you lose. Kidd not resorting to that small ball lineup the last several minutes might could’ve made a different outcome.

  32. TheAus10

    – 2nd night of a back to back
    – no Luka
    – lots of injury scares

    Still only a 7 point loss. Give me this team in a 7 game series.

  33. Difficult-Awareness6

    I’m scared Kidd is clueless.

    He just adore this small lineup with Kleber and THJ.
    They are terrible together, but he thinks that’s the answer.
    Again, and again, and again.
    Clutch time, Kleber and Hardaway should be on the bench, both of them.

    Team played good, except PJ shooting, without Luka this was decent.

    Not scared of this OKC team, Shai is good but he’s not nearly good as Luka.

    Another tiers.
