My favorite part of being a Mavericks fan is that our wins are convincing, no-doubt, solid victories. It’s nice knowing that our team plays consistent basketball and it puts my heart at ease being certain that we have a game in the bag. I have never doubted this Mavericks team, ever. And I have no reason to, with this magnificent team that gives me no stress at all.
People need to stop doubting how far the mavs can go because as long as luka is playing with them, they have a shot any time
Obviously the Pelicans missing their guys is the main reason for this but it was so fun to see so many great plays from other members of the roster. Thoroughly enjoyed the McGee, Hardy, and even Bertans minutes.
Hardy is a top 5 player on the Mavs
Minus the Hardy Party. That 4th quarter was abysmal.
Twitter Coaches – 2
J Kidd – 0
I can’t wait till AI 2.0 gets more minutes. He deserves them, unlike Reggie Bullock.
Bullock is a black hole that only sucks in minutes with very little production at this point
We need to get Hardy some help
Jaden Hardy is so fun to watch. He had about 5 finishes at the rim that I don’t think anyone else on the roster makes. (Yes even Luka but that’s just because he would’ve slow played it and done an easy layup, all the acrobatics unnecessary) If he officially earns 20-25 mins a night from here on out it’s gonna change the offense so much. Him and Luka and Wood on the floor at same time is scary. I think he can also very quickly earn the trust of Luka to take a possession off to stand in corner here and there because he sees what he’s capable of with the ball in his hands. Cmon Hardy let’s go party!
Hardy Party let’s go
Luka got his triple double, Hardy looked good, Mavs won, McGee wasant a shitstain of a player, we roll.
COME ON HARDY LETS GO PARTY
Someone call a doctor – Jaden Hardy gonna have everyone hard for a few hours.
Fr though, even if it’s against a depleted team, it’s nice to see some stretches where players not named Luka are scoring baskets.
Also Kidd really played with fire at the end there
We might have something with Hardy there
UPVOTE HERE FOR HARDY PARTY
Another great Reggie cardio session
I don’t want to overreact but Hardy is the greatest player in NBA history
We better not be trading Hardy for peanuts. He should be worth at least a late first in any trade scenario.
Not gonna lie , conceding 117 pts against this Pels team is embarrasing.
Also Hardy is great !!!!
Luka and Zion look the same size. WTF?
Skin: “Jaden Harden”
Breakout night for Hardy without a doubt
Please give Hardy more minutes
Fuck yea that was god win for us
Zion is one big s.o.b. Wins a win. Hardy was really great. Take your opportunity young man.
Solid win, obvs it rly helped that Pelicans were missing so many starters but we’ve lost so many similar games this season, you cant take these for granted.
Luka is looking absolutely gassed for the last 3 games or so, he desperately needs a rest imo. We’ll have to bite the bullet and think longterm, it wont do us any good if we push him to his limits in regular season.
More Hardy mins pls. Sometimes it’ll be rough but we need him to develop.
Only 1 behind the Pelicans now for 3rd.
I’m expecting Luka to load manage tomorrow night, hopefully we can get our first win of the season without him.
Awkward ass interview why couldn’t skin say Hardy 😂😂
Folks complaining about the statpad.. You want to win the game (MVP), you have to play by the same rules as your opponent (Tatum). We may not like, it’s lame and fake, but the media doesn’t see it that way.. and they get the MVP votes.
I was convinced months ago that hardy deserved a bigger role on this team
Now I’m positive of it, I think the best move would be to move on from hardaway and/or bullock at the deadline, start green and play hardy 20 mins a night
What I really like about our youngsters Hardy and Green is that they are willing to take things into their own hands occasionally and create something on offense when they get the ball. They don’t just sit on the three point line and rely on Luka/Spencer to create an open 3 for them.
Looking forward to seeing how they develop.
Hardy was working the Pels best defenders. Same with the Celtics. Kid needs to play period
I’m ready to forget about Frank
Reggie Bullock and Frank Ntilikina cannot be shipped overseas fast enough.
Hardy is the truth though
Luka with the triple double. Stat padding obviously
Cwood is getting better with rolls too, great game.
Prime Javale
Timmy with good shooting touch today
And Jaden F*€king Hardy, this kid is special. He is a rook and needs to learn more but man, he is a mad dog when it comes to attacking the basket.
Great W and carry on…
Skip calling him Jaden Harden twice during that interview 🤣
Luka said his breathing issues were allergies. I never had allergies until I moved to Texas. Mountain Cedar is real and my car changes color to a beautiful yellow in the spring.
Great win! So convincing that I turned the game off as soon as Luka got his triple double, refreshing to have a lead that you can’t lose in the final minutes.
Really though, this game was fun as hell to watch. These refs are atrocious, no way any of them are getting playoff reps. So, so many missed calls and phantom calls for both teams.
