Did Jason Kidd make the right call with the starting lineup?
I keep telling you fools, Can't do crap without Gaff on the court back when you all wanted to trade him… Just wait and see when he returns and opens the game for Cooper. Please leave me receipts to reply to down the road 😎
Klay should stop pump faking and just take the shot.
15 free throws for a guy already destroying another team that’s 7’6 is also pretty ridiculous, idk wtf the front office for the mavs are doing cuz no way Kidd wanted Flagg to be pg right?
hold steady strengthen your spirit, success comes from learning to brave the setbacks endure and embrace a new reality and lift yourself up once again.
AD was walking around all game..sad
Nico Harrison: Defense wins championships and so I am building a roster to do just that
VICTOR HIMBANYAMA enters chat 😈
Luka Luka Dončič
Luka Dončič
Zove Luka Dončič
😂😂😂😂
Great song
I didn’t watch the game, but damn are the mavericks comment sections harsh. It’s just the first game, Kyrie is injured don’t forget
Vic is 1 of 1. We’ll be alright
Starting pg with 0 assists
It’s just one game and players were unavailable… But damn that looked bad!
And Wemby is about to wreak havoc in the league. MVP type of season incoming.
Now that U loos the worst defensive player in Luka Dončič jour D looks realy great 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Start dlo there’s no way Flagg should be starting @ point guard
As a Lakers fan I'm not really surprised by the performance of either Luka, AD or Flagg. You know what Luka can bring every game but AD is inconsistent and Flagg is an over hyped rookie tbh. Overall, the Mavs are actually the more balanced team but they are built to win NOW. They have a short window on Kyrie and AD. I would not be surprised if the Lakers only make the Play Ins but they will be a better team when LeBron moves on next season.
And honestly this is the reason gaf should start over lively again when he’s back cuz lively fouls for no reason and is inconsistent gaf is consistent
GO SPURS GO!!!
It’s early but people bringing up the Luka trade are goofy. Luka is dope but at no point would he have helped to slow down the spurs offisive.
Flagg sucks… he too weak for nba
FIRE NICO NOW, THAT'S AN ORDER, ALL YOU MAVS LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The mavs not looking good, luka davis trade is and was a disaster.
Nico could have just done nothing..it was so easy😂 Flagg is a huge bust ..AD is the softest player of all time…good job Mavs…this team will fight the Jazz for the last spot in the west
Wemby vs Luka Mavs 0-4 😂
Where ist the great def?
The offense J Kidd runs is the biggest shitshow. Really no creativity. Letting AD and DLO run isos like they are Luka. Freaking horrible.
This hand off by the big man is the most useless shit I have ever seen. How as a coach you have those pieces but are not able to create new plays that in the entire offseason that highlight our players strengths and cover their weaknesses.
Kidd is a horrible coach. The season opener at home you lose by 30 against the Spurs our rivals. I’m disgusted. I don’t blame Cooper, I blame Kidd for putting him in a bad position on the court.
Dirk beeing at Lakers game 2 days ago and not at Flaggs debut tells you all you need to know😂
Fire Nico
FLAGG is not a PG. I dont know why they force him to play PG when u have DLO. DLO is nothing special but still better and Flagg can play his role finally instead of forcing the kid to play pg
We had a player who could look wemby in the eyes and match his offensive output at least, and we stabbed him in the back for PEANUTS
WE DON'T CARE!! WE GOT COOPER!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Trash
I think Wemby probably does that against any defense tonight, he was on one (you have to send more doubles tho imo). We knew there would be some growing pains with this team. So many stupid fouls, some sloppy passes… still, I don't think this team is as bad as the score suggests.
"Top 3 Defense" 🤡
Luka in Dallas has enough pride to NOT let a humiliation like this to happen. Say whatever you want to say (Luka fat, no defense) but Luka has the heart of a lion and a warrior.
DEFENCE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS 🤣🤣🤣
120+ when the teams meant to be good at defense?
Then only scoring 90? .. what a disgraceful performance..
Without kyrie.. this team is horrible attacking wise..
