What's 1 reason the Mavs lost to the Thunder?
I love it when I’m right I told people Anthony Davis should not play anymore games with this team and I don’t get why Jason Kidd play this man at all in the fourth quarter when it was clear the man was hurt again They need to just blow this whole thing off. I think Jason Kidd is a decent coach, but I’m starting to believe him and Nico have something in common just saying.
We not ass enough to tank and Coby white and a pick ain’t saving this future just try and find young players with buy low prices to pair with coop for the future
Can’t play soft with okc. U have to physically go at em. Don’t touch foul. Put em on the backs earn ur fouls. Derrick jones jr length and athleticism is what u need with okc. AD needs to play full games he gets full pay.
OKC-Houston back to back is Gawd Awful!!!
Jaden hardy tank OKC'S def. Rating. It was 99 in the first 3 quarters to 154 in the 4th.
Uhhh folks Kidd is still not a good coach
Bro, let the guy play. Dude is out of shape
I don’t think anyone can beat this thunder team in a 7 game series… but a healthy Mavs team has as good of a chance as anyone. Everyone forgets the Mavs were 3 & 0 against them last season without Luka
I don't know why Jason (mediocore) Kidd is still the Mav's HC.
He's not the sharpest knife in the NBA coaching drawer.
If Scott Foster slips up for just a bit Nuggets will destroy this OKC team in the playoffs.
14:45 you act like only the Mavs can't compete with the Thunder. NO ONE CAN COMPETE WITH OKC RIGHT NOW. Let's be real. Don't make the team look so bad. You all keep pointing it to the trade. At some point you all need to move on smh
The problem is that there are so many teams a lot worse and we're likely to be the 10-12th worse team even if we tried to "lose". The bulls are going to be worse than us too
Ok I will defend my team as much as possible but 2 points in 20 minutes is absolutely ridiculous from a rotation player, not to mention started like AD regardless of who the opponent is. Not sure if he is injured or scared but we don’t need that on the court ever
I KEEP telling you guys, the Mavs are TOAST. AD is overrated and Cooper is NOT generational. Winning seasons left with Luka
Luka would have never had 2pts in a game like this smh the horror
Fire the tank back up
All the fans that think were on a rise lol naw . Trade AD &KI
What's with the Mavs guards not being able to make an entry pass to AD?
Bronny James scored 5 points last night.
