  1. StealthAnus

    I willingly watched that entire game AMA

  2. Nico_Simon

    This team won’t even make the Gleague playoffs

  3. Quadriporticus

    Well that was certainly a basketball game played by professional basketball players.

  4. Tboner989

    this team without luka would be competing for the first pick in the draft

  5. aaronunderwater

    So we sucked on offense without Luka as expected but at least play some goddamn defense. Almost 150 points man wtf

  6. Butterfly_Scape

    WE KEPT THEM UNDER 150 LFGGG THE MAVS ARE BACK BABY

  7. If I can make it through this game I can make it through anything.

  8. What is there to say? Last night was a death punch to the stomach, tonight was a horrible fall on the funny bone. We will see if this ignites anyone to be better.

  9. HispanicAtTehDisco

    unironically reminded me of the mid 2010s shitty mavs teams we had when dirk would be hurt or rest

    weirdly nostalgic

  10. TZBlueIce

    Jaden Hardy shooting 5-5 from the FT line is my love language. That alone should get him rotation minutes

  11. Jerry_41

    Without Luka, this team sucks ASS. But noooo, Cuban think we have enough help for Luka.

  12. GOtexas1

    Gave up almost 150 to a team that likely won’t make the playoffs. gg boys…

  13. Impressive_Addendum

    Worst roster in the league…. plus Luka.

    It’s unbelievable that Luka can drag these bums to .500. If Luka gets hurt and misses even 10 games though they won’t make the play in.

  14. Jaden Hardy 22:55 min: 15/1/1

    Reggie Bullock 23:21 min: 3/2/1

    Dorian Finney Smith 20:21 min: 0/0/1

  15. JBeanDelphiki

    I’m just sick of Kidd being all “muh defense” while Reggie Dwight and DFS do cardio and can’t take more than one dribble. Just play Hardy when it matters and stop with the holier than thou master plan bs.

  16. Simple_Wait_7286

    It speaks volumes that the most dynamic offensive players on this roster outside of Luka-Spencer-Wood (and I guess THJ when he’s having a good stretch and not bricking repeatedly) are the 22 and 20 year olds. The 22 year old just became a reliable shooter this season, and the 20 year old has barely played any meaningful minutes.

    Nobody else can do a damn thing on their own offensively.

  17. top_of_the_table

    We are bottom 5 in the league without Luka, right?

  18. PeasyPants

    There has got to be some way Hardy can fulfill the same role that Bones Hyland did last year for the Nuggets. Basically play 12-18 minutes a game and see if he is feeling it or not. Don’t see how that could hurt us given we are so average right now

  19. amino110

    People here never understood that this team is literally built to play with Luka. All these shooters and rim-runners are only useful if they play with him.

    Last year, we could win some games without him because Brunson can emulate some of the gameplan that was with Luka. Now we have no real point guard in the squad. So these shooters and rim-runners have no impact .+ Spencer is scorer , not a playmaker.

  20. funkadelik

    Close game to start. Then the Bulls made shots. And kept it up… throughout.

  21. somegoodassporn

    Players who the mavs fo surrounded luka with this season: mcgee, toast. Campazzo, toast. Kemba, toast. Wood, coach doesnt like him and probably about to be traded.

    Brunson gone, bullock sucks, everybody else seemed to regress. Keep luka josh and hardy and trade everyone else. Fire every single person in the front office and sell the team mark

  22. thiffusedinner

    Was watching that game in its entirety a form of self harm?

  23. AdVisual3406

    We need to make a trade. Bullock, Hardy and Powells expiring should get a better player.

  24. BigTex77RR

    Holy shit how do you not play Wood over 30 minutes in a game this terrible? HE WAS THE TANK CAPTAIN OF THE ROCKETS, THIS IS HIS BAG!

    All of my hopes and dreams rest on Hardy if Luka leaves and that’s terrifying.

    2/10 would not watch the highlights.

  25. lilsaucy32

    There’s nothing really with this team. Just play Hardy real minutes and play Green 25-30 min to the rest of this season. Both will help us win and develop them.

  26. AMobOfDucks

    Maaaaan, if Cuban isn’t careful Luka is gonna walk to some other team.

  27. FinancialRabbit388

    When Javele went down the Chicago guy said, ā€œOh Javele’s been shot! There’s a sniper in hereā€. Lmao that got me

  28. PrinceofEden23

    This entire Organization is truly incompetent from Cuban down to the coaching staff. Luka is not a nice guy like Dirk. He will not be quiet and take pay cuts like Dirk did he will ask out. Then the Mavericks can pray they draft another Luka or Dirk player again to cover up their mismanagement.

    Kidd is a great defensive coach. There’s no question about that at all. But maybe he’s better off at staying as a Assistant Coach who focuses on defense only? Every game we start off getting punched in the mouth and rushed no matter who we’re up against. That is a coaching problem.

    Kidd runs literally no plays at all, and when he does it’s literally the very same play he ran sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row. Literally. His game management is horrible. Late timeouts when the opposing team is going on run that starts off 4-0 and ends up being 14-0 before he calls a timeouts. His rotations are pure garbage. He gives minutes to Reggie when he should be giving them to Green. Kidd is very much a big problem

  29. dragonwhale

    It’s legit impressive how bad everyone is at making a good pass. It’s either the simplest of passes or a failed pass. Our starters legit look like noob friendly bots with the ball. Letting Brunson go, wasnt a big mistake. It was a franchise changing mistake. Start the tank. And stop killing Luka for a fucking 6-8 seed and a 1st round exit.

    It’s just a bigger disappointment and i bet if Mark doesnt start the tank then Luka leaves this off-season after a tragic season and a very bleak future. Tanking however leaves us with one chill bad current season with chance at becoming insta contenders with Wemby or Scoot/Assets into a 2nd star.

  30. bloodydingbat

    This team is bad. Very bad.

    Dinwiddie, THJ and Bertans making up 60m plus salary is just terrible. We are fucked.

  31. restofever

    Why do we pay DFS $18 million to score 0 pts 0 reb and 1 ast in 20 mins?

  32. mcreech10

    Cuban liked a tweet a couple of days ago that said something to the effect of the Mavs do have help around Luka. I’m starting to think that is Cubans burner
