I'm not upset. Their big man had a field day. If we had our main guys, he wouldnt have been as productive. Plus the Center we do have literally played his first game. The perimeter guys didn't kill us so thats a good sign. Even if AD is out, a fully healthy Gafford and D live would be enough to handle the paint. Coop needs to go up with more confidence up. I think the issue is that he tries to go up to get contact and not to score.
Gafford is scared of the Detroits bigs
If this continues, we must conclude that Kidd is tanking games. With what happened to the Mavericks in the last year, Kidd should have one goal. Winning. Winning changes everything. Instead he’s sticking to his old crap like he started last season where he tried to change Luka’s game, making him have his worst season start ever. He’s doing the same thing to Cooper. If Adelson was serious about being a basketball team owner, she would give everyone an ultimatum, WIN! By any means necessary. Stop with the losing schemes immediately. This is the last thing the Maverick organization and their Dallas community relationship needs! A stubborn, unsuccessful, losing coach.
Cooper needs a mentor, someone to look up to.. Maybe when Kai comes back things will improve. AD is a lost cause , I watched him at Lakers before he came over. Dude is a oversensitive diva.
dont worry, "defense win championship"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🗑️ 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🫡 we got Luka we got Luka….Lakeshow Lakeshow😂😂😂😂😂😂
I won't spend my time on this sorry team anymore
Bad coach
Kidd is a good coach if you don't try to micromanage every move he makes. That said, it takes star players to win games with any consistency.
players who around Luka looked like elite now looks bellow average , because Lukas court vision like no ones in the history of the game of basketball , not even Magic close to what Luka was doing for Dallas
This isn't the Detroit of old. Don't like how you started the video making it seem like Pistons are still bad. They have a nice young solid squad with Cade leading the way. Mavs did better than what I expected against them honestly. Also Mavs are very limited what they can do without basically almost all their big men not playing.
Blame Coach Nicco
Don’t want to start a PG because we got take some Ls now to get Flagg to be a fully developed ball handler before we give him to LA
I feel sorry for the people who even remotely tought a guy like Cooper Flagg will be enough to substitute Luka. I am sorry to say this but you guys are in for a very very long season of disappointment.
This team is 2-4 😂😂😂
If I wanted to see an 18 year old kid play basketball, then I will go to a high school game.
Horrendous coaching and terrible overall environment for Cooper Flagg. Bro's bag is pretty shallow for all the hype and he's obviously not NBA ready. Adam Silver's moves to send him to the Mavs has turned him into a bust in the making.
Fire Nico
Mavs shouldn't have traded Luka. I hope they never win as a lesson to never trade your best player. 😂 The Cooper Flagg experience isn't working.
I’ve been upset by Kidd’s “strategy” since game 1. No starting PG, stupid. Not sure about this game since the Mavs obviously don’t want local fans to watch the games, but I’ve seen countless turnovers by our non-PGs just trying to get the ball up the court and run plays. THAT is pathetic.
That's why when I saw Michael Malone get fired I'm saying kidd should be next but no they gave him an extension 😂😂😂😂😂
So obvious.. coaches need to correct 1/2 guard lineups.. d/lo should start & b- will off the bench.. for 2 guards need christie & klay off bench..
Meanwhile Luka leads the league with 45ppg, is only the 2nd player ever (behind Wilt) to start a season with 3 40pt games, and is the ONLY player in history to start with a 45/10/5 average.
Go Nico!!!
No panic for me. Learning curve personified
Or put some 🔥 under Kidd’s chair. Cooper should be a scorer and not have to worry about passing the ball. Start Brandon Williams, play Nemhardt. It’s ok to play shorter guards.
Dallas has players with skills to win games..but..but there is no identity with this team..no chemistry most of the time….No communication on defense…This is coaching…I see a change coming before this gets out of hand…
Russle isn’t consistent. Plus he had bad turnovers in the 4th and can’t guard a lick
I miss the Luka , Kyrie , Grimes, and Marshall crew. 😢 When Gafford and Lively was going in and out for each other. When PJ didnt have to bring the ball down .
Mavs will be just fine.. without kyrie, this team is in development phase . They're not playing for championship this year… They're preparing for one next year .. only nba exoerts will understand this
6 games in and this chuckle head is ready to push the panic button, going in on PJ is almost treason. They actually had the lead in this game without their best two players. Let me explain basketball. If you have missing players, other players might be outta position which is a advantage for the other team.
The talent is obviously there. Im still high on our squad. Jkidd like genuinely forgot how to coach. He got the extension and stopped caring
The Pistons have three championships, show some respect
bro you need to put some respect on Detroit name (4-2) they have a squad. You need to look in the mirror and admit that the Mavs are ass!🤣
PJ WASHINGTON IS ON THE TAKE. O STATS SECOND HALF. DUDE THREW THE GAME
"a few moments later" Luka dropped 40 plus in his first 3 games and he's in tip top shape!!! and AD doing what AD does hurting and he came into camp looking like professor Klump !!!!!😂😂😂
Are the Mavs still the #1 Defense? Asking for a friend. Does Bozo/niko still have a job? Are we finally winning that championship Bozo said we would when we traded Luka? Asking for a friend?
Hey guys, lets play four bigs and Klay Thompson. What's the worst that could happen? Dumont, Nico, and Kidd are all acting like mentally handicapped individuals. Worse than the losing is screwing up Cooper Flagg. He's a power forward, not a guard.
Mavs traded their identity . . .
8:18 when did the Pistons have a "Historically bad game"?
Jason Kidd is ruining Cooper and tanking already. Fire him. The kid already cant score….now you put him at PG??? He is even worse at scoring from that position on the floor.
The hatewatch continues. Lets go time to fire nico
Here’s the problem. Cooper has a dog shit coach and zero development.
#firenico that’s the reason why we are 2-4
Mean while La Luka is averaging 40+ a game tied with chamberlain 💪🏆💜💛
they can't fire Nico cause all of them were in agreement. have a tough time in the mirror cause they know they should be fired too. its ok, AD will be back soon and sooner or later cooper will say to hell with everybody else, i'm getting mine. they'll follow coop!! they're waiting for you! lol
Shooting issues and Hardy is shooting the 3ball at 48% that can’t get minutes.
