I thought after Kyrie was snubbed against being in the All Star game. He was going to be all fired up and light up Detroit and the rest of the team would have his back.
This loss is ridiculous 😒
It’s crazy how many episodes have started with “I think that was the Mavs worst game of the season.”
We are creeping towards no return. 2 more losses coming and we could be there.
DAMN OUR 2 BEST PLAYERS WE GOT THIS TIME LAST YEAR 😂😂😂😂😂 GUESS WHO. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kidd don't know how to coach
Gaff laughed after a block, where he volly ball spiked it, ha. But Gaff only 1 Field Goal attempt 2cnd Half? Unacceptable. That's Mavs having a bunch of ball-handlers, but no true PGs
this would be a win with Luka or DLive. Detroit was just better and Kyrie has it limits too. Hope Luka comes back so the load can be split again
At this point just try to stay .500 until Luka comes back.If he healthy we will be fine
Mavs really miss jones Jr defense . Awful . Also was wrong with kyrie is he hurt since January putting good stats but it seems like empty numbers.
I don’t like Dinwiddie starting tbh, it should be grimes. also they need to figure out to get more out of Klay…
We stand defeated.
Just tank! This year ain't destined for us!
We all wanted to hold on and be hopeful for a return to health and being able to hang in there but too many bad losses piling up, New Orleans, Charlotte, this game. This team just doesn’t have it, and Luka isn’t going to come back in just perfect peak form either. Season is starting to look like a bust and the only players imo that should be staying are DLive, Luka, PJ, gaff and Kyrie. Everyone else is tradeable.
I agree with the guys about how sometimes it seems like Kidd has players on a short leash. It makes you wonder if players don't perform well in practice or something then he sort of carries it over into the game. I'm just speculating but it doesn't make sense at times why they stop going to the players who have been consistent.
You assume Mavs are so
Much better than pistons
assumed wrong
Its sports
Matchups
We are literally the same record as last year at this same point.
Not sure I get all the worry. We just need to get healthy. It’s hard watching these games hoping for a win when I know we are so far from what we can be with Luka and Lively in rotation. Kyrie, PJ, Gafford, Spence, QG can only do so much.
We will see how Exum bounces back and how long it takes to get his groove back.
But without Luka and lively, it doesn’t make sense in my opinion to criticize coaching decisions right now. I kinda get trying out players like Kylor Kelly and Kessler Edward’s just to see their upside. Maybe teams get interested in them enough to add for trade value, who knows what could happen. We aren’t necessarily tanking but it’s not a bad time to test things out since we aren’t in regular stride anyways with key people out.
Should've had Isaac Harris on here for this one. Was glazing Kyrie so hard yesterday and he couldn't even lead Mavs to a win over the Pistons smh. PJ Washington been looking like more of the leader of the team than Kyrie the past few games and this is why they left Kyrie off the Olympic team and the All Star game. Doesn't take charge enough. Mavs win this game with Luka 100%
Jason kid isn’t good when he hasto many options
that"s the reason that the dall ass team has no all star..because all of them are sucks & weak players..specially there coaching staff are very sucks🤣🤣🤣
Detroit was playing press defense all night, and got away with it cause our guys could still not get any separation. Either Their defense must be very elite, or many of our guys can't do anything when you press them. Their guys on the other hand somehow seemed to be able to do whatever they wanted
Missing DJJ right about now 😢
When mavs are in a slump with Luka out there he gets crazy amount of unfair hate and criticism but this shit play from the mavs has no accountability
Is Jason Kidd still trying to “learn lessons” halfway through the season or is he just a bad coach?
