They come out of the timeout and Kyrie jacks up a forced 3!!! 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ They were only down 2. The play should've been for Ky to attack the paint and kick out to Klay, PJ, or Grimes.
Hopefully they can still make a run… Just like the short handed Orlando magic team, superstars are injured even their starters are also injured, but somehow they pulled through! THough there were still some losses but they have won big esp boston
IS NOBODY ELSE CONCERNED ABOUT LUKA! He missed training camp, all of preseason, then played like terrible (for him) when he came back, and then missed more games. The season is only in the beginning and he’s already missed a quarter of the season. He’s got to get in shape. Every extra pound when you’re not in shape puts more strain on joints, tendons, and bones. And, injuries occur more frequently. He’s getting older and the weight starts to matter more. He starting look like maxi with him always being injured.
LOCKED IN MAVS PLEASE TRADE LUKA FOR BEN
SIMMONS AND CLOWNEY FOR DEFENSE !!!
Dinwittie breaks out in surprising run !!
Why is it every time we are down by 2? we have to shoot a 3 so dumb
When can we get DJJ BACK?
Miriam Adelson ruining the locked on show…
Congrats to Klay for passing Reggie miller for 5th all time on 3pt made list. That’s a positive 🥂
Randle looked unstoppable in there
Coach of the year with that timeout . 😃
Next 20 games without Luka(5 weeks)
Our record will be around 8-12(at worst,if we only beat crap teams).
Managing Kyrie minutes is the main goal.
Schedule loss must become at thing( in a good way).
And then Luka comes back and we have our usual 2nd half gimmick
Man Kyrie is truly out of this world I love how he continued to show signs of life the whole game. Sad that seemingly no one was able to back him up, that’s all he needed for the win. I mean damn Luka who got injured and played a singular full quarter outscored most of the team. Although, perhaps after seeing their leader limp off the court the vibes just changed I dunno. I know my mood shifted once that happened.
Kyrie had 15 pts in the 4th quarter alone – which is more than any other player scored in the entire game (besides Luka) … pretty sad that no one else showed up. He got them back in the game with his 39 pts and everyone else just kept missing. Dinwiddie going 0/7 is was so disappointing.
Wish Klay could’ve made some of those open 6 3s he missed. :/
Oh well at least it wasn’t a blow out. Onto the next
I smell a jimmy butler trade coming
How come nobody noticed they did not count a free throw Kyrie made after he was fouled when he scored a 2 for Dallas and the beginning of the 4th? At the time the score was 90-71 so it did not really matter but it could have made a huge difference at the end.
Somebody tell Slightly to stop moving like a crackhead all the time. Does he not know how to hold a mic or stay still on camera. So frustrating to watch.
Luka needs to not play basketball in the off-season i know he wants to but that's taking a toll on his body and people wonder why he is always injured just 1 thing I see
And we suck is early day games still for some reason too hopefully luka is not out for more then 3 or 4 weeks they need to trade for herb jones or Cam Johnson for no more then maxi some younger guys and a 1st if its herb maybe you give 2 first
@19nzinga Luka always is injured he just needs to stop playing basketball in the off season and work on conditioning . He is only about to be 26 he's good its the playing basketball year round he gets no rest think about it
I remember you were begging to get Dumbwiddie your wishes was granted now live with the consequences 😂
