What's 1 thing the Mavs should do to reverse this curse?
What happened to the team being better without Luka hahahahahhaha
Also the team is 10 points better per 100 possessions on defense when Gafford is off the floor. And please save your comments giving him credit for blocks idgaf. He’s a bad defensive player and he hurts the team more than he helps.
Listen to yall after every game while I'm at work. Baltimore MD
Mavs made of glass
baby jokic killed our bigs 🤦 again
Time to start eyeing draft prospects
F***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Death by 1,000 cuts?
It's a team loss, but if you're going to single out one person, then it has to be Kyrie. Irving should've been hands-down the best player on the court for either team, but he wasn't even close to that. 13 shot attempts is not enough, and 2 assists is not enough! The Mavs need Kyrie to play like a superstar without Luka!
Gaff needs Luka, very simple.
I'm just still amazed over how many fans think this team could actually win a championship.
Rockets have better players in green & company admit it rockets green and its center cannot be defended
hang in there y'all 🤞
Did people even watch the game kyrie wasn’t even getting that many touches what does he mean by offensive struggles be shot 58% from the field they just have him playing off ball too much that’s why his assists are down and when he does throw the ball to someone they either throw and extra pass for hockey assist or they miss the shot it’s not kyrie’s fault that Jason Kidd wants everyone but kyrie handling the ball because when Luka plays he runs the pick and rolls and controls the offense kyrie’s barely had an opportunity like that’s because multiple players are trying to handle the ball and either turning it over or not creating a good shot at all if the mavs let kyrie play exactly how Luka does I can assure you his assists would be much higher and 13 shots come on and it’s about kyrie not being aggressive his teammates should look to hand him the ball instead of doing all that bs and defensively they couldn’t stop a baby
Mavs are so enamoured on Dinwindie. He trying to play beyond his capabilities. Yet coaches. playing him more minutes than Grimes. People f9rget how he ditched us for the Lakers last year.
Gortman has higher IQ than him. Play him more!
Gortman over Dinwindie and Hardy!
Wake up! Undermanned Rockets winning is stupid
How long is PJ going to be out?
I know I get hate from his mom and dad here in the comments. But what’s is up with Gafford? he is a minus 27 in the 10minutes he played. He looked like he lost his athleticism and then he is ass.
Im a dirk die hard and luka is better than dirk but if he cant finish the season being always injured or unfit (hamstring and calf strain are usually part of not working out enough vs what you need) he wont be able to take the team to the end and i also gave luka excuse of not having enough help but this time all help is already provided ♥️ so i dont want to hear the no help excuse 🙂 and again im a dallas fan but i also have to be slightly objective slightly bias haha
ngl Slighty can now start a singing career with his new mic
The basketball knowledge on this podcast is awful. They are just passing time… Knows nothing…
The key to this year mavs team is Klay Thompson. If they don't give him ball enough…. They are cooked…
And Grimes should be benched to do that….
Luka is the Mavericks. End of thread.
Isaac needs to say a prayer next episode to get rid of this curse 😢
Mavs need a 3rd star Luka will always miss games kyrie needs help .. call the sun's for Durant call the pelicans I would give them every one besides ky and Luka
Gafford and kidd really don't see eye to eye package Gafford for 3rd star
I expect an incoming 7-11 loosing streak.
To reverse the curse, bring back the old let it ride theme!
Gafford needs to be traded he can’t stop the best centers in the league
LUKA PLS BE HEALTHY AND COME BACK… YOUR TEAM NEEDS YOU BADLY
It all started with that DAMN!! MIAMI GAME JIMMY BUTLER!! got the entire team sick then injuries followed
not healthy, no playoffs
They badly need to upgrade that Kleber spot.
