Coop needs to play at least 25 more games to get ROY
Can someone explain to me,why Mavs keep trying to play Gaff and he keeps get hurt every couple games?
For what?
Why are Mav players always injured? Is it due to:
Natural Causes:
1) incompetent medical and conditioning staff (diagnosis, treatment, and maintenance)
2) poor player management (poor rotations, overplaying certain players, allowing players to return without sufficient rest/healing)
3) bad roster decisions (signing and extending old, injury-prone, and fragile players, not getting rid of those players quick enough, overloading on certain positions – like having 5 centers – and not balancing roster spots)
4) demanding team schedule (back to backs, too many games in short span)
5) poor apparel (bad shoe support, not bandaging players)
6) poor logistics (poor and inefficient travelling conditions, bad hotels, unavailability of quality food and other on-road equipment)
7) poor Mavs facilities (gym, court, rehab facilities, catering, sauna, on-site medical equipment)
Supernatural Causes:
1) karma/Curse of Nico
2) God punishing Mavs and NBA for rigging draft
3) Justice: Dumont gets what he deserves for being stupid and for caring more about his casino business than the Mavs
It was time to shut down players from the time Kyrie got injured. From that time on, we should have traded AD and tank without getting stupid wins so to lose our picks and finish 8th or 9th from the back. We have to have ONE strategy. Since, we cant get a ring, the only strategy available is tanking
I actually watched a game for the first time this season instead of just watching Slighty's stream and game highlights. My god the offense looks worse when viewing the whole game.
when Luka got traded at least were going to have a big, tall team now three-deep at big man and immediately they all got injured and suck like what in the actual F???
Thank you Nico.
NO Consistency! This team is done beyond done it time to break it already this will always be the outcome
It’s called the Luka effect
This team needs to trade Naji, Gaff, Klay so we can tank to the bottom five. If this team doesn’t try to tank than we officially have the dumbest management of any sports franchise. I don’t want to see this team win more than 7 games the rest of this season
Kyrie should sit out this year, ain't no reason to play him Dallas is trash
no shutting down players.. according to owner Dumont speeches … Dallas demands their players to play through every injury. Just like Kobe, Bird, Jordan, etc… or his players don't deserve to wear a Mavericks uniform.
Nick talking about Naji in the playoffs made me mad about the trade all over again
The only question at this point should be wtf is happening with the medical staff. This is not just "chance" anymore….
There’s only like 5 players left in the roster with out…. Bs
Trade everyone and the garbage of a coach already
Cooper Flagg not in shape 😢 sad to see..injury prone …sad
Shut down the whole team. 🤣🤣🤣
man this season is rough. Mavericks and Cowboys riugh years. But i think a good offseason and good health both teams can be playoff bound next season!!
Off to Google the theme music so I can get pumped on my drive to work
Mavs tanking again. Losers.
Luka already ranks between 198 and 300 in every major all time career regular season stat. What Nico did to tbe Mavs is criminal.
