I'm hoping he gets fired after they go 1 and done in the playoffs but Cuban gonna CUban.

Should have been fired after they went out and traded for Kyrie and missed the entire playoffs, including play in game. Embarrassing. It was definitely time for Rick to move on but they hired a shitty coach.

the Mavs tanking the last couple games was smart due to the draft pick situation (we got Lively as a result) but he sucks outside of that.

whose call was that though?  the mavs media guys say it was 50/50 b/t front office, ownership, and coaches in favor of tanking and pushing for a play-in spot.

Last night was the first full NBA game I've seen since last season. God damn, these guys suck. I don't think Kyrie is that big of a difference. The NBA in general just isn't that interesting to me anymore. Maybe I've changed, but I really think the game has changed in ways that make it less interesting for me. The players are so fast I don't see how it's possible for the refs to make correct calls regularly. And whether its the speed, the rules, or lack of interest, it's shocking to me how many players are wide open for jumpshots, like not even challenged and having a full 3 seconds to set and shoot. Finally, maybe it's just Mavs-Suns rivalry stuff, but man, everyone is a fucking whiner. KD, Booker, Nurich, all bitched and cried on every play. Luke does it way too much for my taste too. But as a Mavs fan, JFC, it only worked when 3's were going down at 70%+. The second it cooled off they looked like absolute dog shit. What a beating.

You took the words out of my mouth.  I'm sure most of it - as it applies to me - has to do with age.  Other than watching Luka when he's having a game in the zone, it's hard to watch.

the suns were flopping everywhere.  It is embarrassing.  I blame the Euro/Soccer guys bringing that shit here. Luka does it too. At least when the celtics and lakers were going at it there was no flopping, people were really getting hammered.  The whining is hilarious and has been since the Duncan(incredulous look) days.  I still think Duncan believes he never fouled anyone in 20 years.  and yes Luka does it also.

as for the game yeah it is boring.  kind of like an all star game with a bit more of effort on defense and on the boards but not much more.

It would be interesting if they moved the 3point line back and also took away the corner 3 by having the 3pt line just go to the sideline.

The NBPA will fight for those 3-and-D jobs.  There’s probably 60 guys in the NBA whose only purpose is to play defense, stand in the corner on offense, and bang home a decent percentage of wide open corner looks.

KCP has 2 rings playing that role. You have to have one on your team if you are serious about winning.

It’s a little sad that he had to play enough of the fourth quarter to get to 73.  On a healthy team he sits the 4th because we’re up 20 and ends up with 60 something.

You don’t sit a guy sitting on 60 in the 4th. But overall, complaint is valid

At 73 points, he still didn’t account for at least half of the Mac’s’ points.

This isn’t the “Bad Boys” Detroit Piston’s NBA.

The guy who designs these is a Boston guy who does a jersey for every Celtics win, but he also does one for every 50pt game in the league.  This one is pretty dope.  Go give it a like if you're buy one and they'll make it at 250 likes. 

The guy who designed 4 this week:

LOL, I don't follow this thread but I'm assuming Dallas fans realize Kidd is a moron.  But to say Luka is not only better than Dirk but in Jordan's stratosphere is laughable.  I believe Jordan played a little D, maybe that's my old ass being biased.

This team is built wrong. Fire Kidd, trade Kyrie and THJ for a few players and a lot of picks.

The team building issue started in 2019 when they went "all-in" to get KP. That deal is still killing them from having any meaningful draft assets to use. Then they traded Harrison Barnes, who could have been a very good 3rd option, for cap space and then proceeded to not do a damn thing with it. Then the Brunson mishap. They've just stacked so many bad choices on top of one another that there just isn't a good way out.  An underrated one was not getting a fucking draft pick when Carlisle went to the Pacers. We just let him walk to another team without any compensation. 

Then, to make things even greater, they decided to hire a mediocre coach with a mediocre track record and, shockingly, they are getting mediocre results. The roster mismanagement is not Kidd's fault, but he is a clown and this team should have a way better record than it does despite the injuries.

I think Nico is doing a decent job with the hand he was dealt. Lively is a huge win and I think OMax will be a player in a couple of years. The roster is better than it was last season, there just isn't a quick fix to this. They're going to have to keep drafting well and make decent upgrades via trade. They actually have young, tradeable players now which is a huge upgrade compared to the past few years. 

The only thing that's fixable this season is the coach. That needs to happen.

Avery was fired not long after getting to the Finals and then having a 67 win season the next year. The same thing needs to happen to Kidd. He makes Avery look like Phil Jackson.

PJ Washington and 2 seconds for Grant Williams, Seth Curry and a top 2 protected FRP. Very happy they didn't move Green after all the rumors lately. Would have led to a lot more of the Luka-Kyrie-THJ defensive nightmare we've gotten used to. It looks like the seconds in this deal are the ones going to Washington in the Gafford deal.
