Kidd is a good coach not a great one its as simple as that. He cant make u a winner without a star player unlike Mosley for the Magic or Kenny Atkinson
something something emoji
I guarantee we beat the Lakers tomorrow night.
Why don't we let Lively shoot some threes? Besides Grimes and Naji, our offense create nothing anyway. If Lively can get used to shooting threes, we may play multiple styles of offense with Kyrie and Luka.
This is sad 😢 i think mavs might be done. Honestly at this point they might as well recover until next year
I called it and mavs will have a 7-10 game loosing streak
This losing streak can easily reach 10 games.
Mavs key/star players are simply made of glass.
Season from Hell.
"Sad but true" should be the new intro song. 😢
These injuries are unfortunate, but yall saying to just tanking for the rest of the season is insane. Im hearing joke in "Capturing the Flagg"….this is the last thing we need, the team needs vet ready player right now.
I have faith still that things gonna turn around, because of last year. Mavs were floating near .500 and after the trade deadline they jumped to 5th with 33-14 record since the trade.
How did things get so bad so quickly 😢!
too early to wave the white flag dummies. if this is march then most likely. mavs can turn on a gear and lukai injuries might be a blessing to this team
Sorry ass team lol
In the words of Kenny "The Jet" Smith, it's over and let's go home. This season is officially a wrap.
Today it is sad day for Mavs fans.. at least we stil have best podrast. Please guys dont get hurt as well 😅😂
I also would point out mavs had an Easier start schedule, played portland 2 times and utah 3 times, thats 5 games ,gsw played Portland and jazz both once thats 2 games tougher schedule, funny thing is if you played the same amount , the record would currently be worst than gsw. Let that sink in, point is without out luka and kyrie there's no reason to be depressed over loss even against bad opponents
I’m going to the hornets game on the 20th, praying Kai gets back by the cause I don’t even believe this team could beat Charlotte without Kai or Luka😔
When Tatum and Brown are out e.g. Cs still have white holiday and Prichard for playmaking. We only have Spencer
Gambling advertisements in sports is a plague and its so fuccin tiring.
I'm from the uk and a big fan of the mavericks, but i hate to admit it but english footballers seem to be far superior athletes and i dont even like football. They just seem to be better conditioned and a lot less prone to injuries. Basketball players seem to get injured so easily it is ridiculous, i know they play more games in a season than soccer players but they don't play for 90 minutes a game and sometimes longer, plus a football pitch is far lager. Obviously you can't play if you are injured but nba players are like glass, come on 'man up guys'🤕🤕😠
I don't think Kyrie had any illness! Think it was the PR needing time to spin his spinal condition! Dont think a herniated disc is from an injury…could be a condition he is dealing with!😢😮
Time to punt this miserable season
1-6 down the stretch… I'm waiting for the Kidd defenders after this masterclass L against JJJ+ bunch of G-Leaguers… Don't disappear my Friends, please. I'm here for you.
the tank starts
TRADE KLAY FOR THJ
2 weeks, not a chance in hell, its a back injury 😕
Dallas is cooked looking at the schedule, no way do we keep a float if Kyrie Luka are not healthy, playmaking and ball movement assists suffer when they are out!!! Literally Mavs have two bonefied stars that set up the rest of their role players!!! Without Kyrie the team suffers is bad enough add Luka on the onjury report and it's mission impossible!!! Luka and Kyrie simplify and amplify everyones game so without them tough tough, it's like learning to drive automatic and than switching to stick, and expecting to pick up right away!!!! 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 Stay positive Mavs nation cause it will get rough unfortunately 😢
I am very dissapointed that they've lost this winnable game against the Grizzlies…even by player names they should have won this game, I think that they have really underperformed.
I hope Gafford is not badly injured cause if he misses significant time let's go for that draft pick😂😂😂😂😂
I'm a Grizzlies fan and back on November 19th Vince Williams Jr. twisted his ankle and walked off the court and he's still not back, and last season around this time Desmond Bane stepped on Kawhi Leonard's foot twisting his ankle and walked off the court and we didn't see him again until a lil over two months later in mid March 😳😳
It’s over. Try to get a top 10 pick, let Nico cook, and pray for better injury luck next season
Cooper Flag next year is going to be a good fit
At least kyrie can go focus on his shoeline and luka on hooka.
