2023 - 2024 Dallas Mavericks Season Thread - I'm watching, just like you guys

[dcar00 14210]

I'm shocked...

[Firemans4Horn 18050]

[dcar00 14210]

2-14. nice job boys...

[SameSame 1704]

Getting out everythingd right now.  Hustled, physicald, definitely out shot.

[SameSame 1704]

This team is better with Kyrie running things.

[AbeFroman 2177]

Jason Kidd is so bad.

[SameSame 1704]

This game is over.  Go enjoy your afternoon gentlemen.

[dcar00 14210]

done.  moving on to next game.  

[LurkingHorn 1066]

THJ with an awesome miss on a wide open layup. Amazing. 

[Bozo_Casanova 26462]

1) Luka not shooting well

2) Trash play by Paul George just cost us Gafford

3) Clippers playing best ball of the season in this half

4) Dallas playing worst game on offense since January 

5) Kidd can’t coach playoff basketball 

I’m not worried about 1,3 and 4.
2 and 5 are potentially fatal

rest Luka and Irving and be done with it.   this doesn't shock me.  sure if Luka and Irving are lights out we win but the rest of the team is pretty weak mentally.

[dcar00 14210]

jesus christ the flopping and the bullshit the Clippers are gonna get away with on Luka.

If Luka got the Harden whistle he might average 40 this series. 

[dcar00 14210]

love seeing Cubes look like a fucking idiot he is.

[Firemans4Horn 18050]

8 points in the second quarter. Good effort. Nice coaching Jkidd. 

[LurkingHorn 1066]

Maybe the worst quarter and half of playoff basketball in NBA history? It’s got to be up there. 

[gsoda3 3262]

consider this:

 

we have 6 days off to gameplan for the clippers who don't have their best offensive and defensive player.  what gameplan do we roll out?  the "let's see if luka's hot from 3" gameplan. the result?  22 points in the first quarter.  EIGHT points in the second quarter.  not from one person.  from the entire team.  jason kidd doesn't think it's his fault though. 

[Skipper 6135]

What in the absolute hell was that.  Mavs did not show up remotely ready for playoff basketball.  Embarrassing.

[Zepol87 9186]

This is fucked

[RexWilson 1347]

The constant push off from Harden makes me furious

[dcar00 14210]

classic kidd says put the ball in the basket. 

they are going to let Luka get mauled series.

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Fucking Dallas Cowb....err Mavericks

[Vic Mackey 47038]

Love the gameplan Kidd had for this game with a week to prepare. He's such a fucking loser.

[dcar00 14210]

the clippers are the new spurs.  every shot is a foul and every foul we get is wrong with the "Tim Duncan face"

[Bozo_Casanova 26462]

Between the PG play and what Zubac just did, Kidd needs to just put in the bottom five and call code red. Fuck this. 

[Get ln My Van 927]

Could be an all time embarrassing loss for LAC. Stay tuned 

[ITHorn 801]

Get this under 15 by fourth and could get interesting.. 

[dcar00 14210]

not that it will matter but should be a FL2

[ITHorn 801]

What a POS. He’s been throwing elbows all afternoon and decides to complain endlessly about the singular time he gets called. 

[gsoda3 3262]

Dont like this timeout. Clippers have the ball, why would we give them a free pass to come up with something?

[Bozo_Casanova 26462]

I've seen enough to feel optimistic about the rest of the series. I still think Mavs in 6. 

[TxTower 652]

love seeing Cubes look like a fucking idiot he is.

No argument here but on the other side - Steve Balmer is a fat, fucktard.

I hate his game so fucking much.  And the leg kick.  That's supposed to be an offensive foul these days.

[Vic Mackey 47038]

I've seen enough to feel optimistic about the rest of the series. I still think Mavs in 6. 

But they were missing their best player and still dominated from start to finish. Unless he's supposed to miss the entire series, this wasn't good.

There are only so many possessions and multiple Clippers played out of their minds in the first half while Dallas was effectively missing their best player for over half the game and played historically bad offense for a full quarter.  I like our chances if Gafford stays healthy and Luka returns to form. 

[Rex Kramer 1338]

I didn’t watch the first half. Can someone explain what happened to Gafford and how long he’s expected out at this time?

[speed817 19272]

 

 

[ITHorn 801]

Not super concerned yet. This team is weird and oddly plays worse against teams missing star players. Win Tuesday and things are right back on track. 

[Skipper 6135]

The good thing is that whether you lose by 1 or 20 it's only one game.  But can't believe this team showed up to game 1 with a Tuesday night regular season against Charlotte mindset.  That is primarily on Kidd for not having them mentally ready to play.  Did they even have a hard practice during this layoff?  In the first half they looked exactly like a team that had done nothing but play a couple of meaningless games and take shootaround for 10+ days.

I'm reminded of the guy in the Astros thread who would always post that after every game because they sucked:

If you lose 4 games of a 7 game series by only 1 each, you have lost the series but you are still winning if you won the other games by more than 5 total.

Do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around...

zubac with the immediate Tim Duncan look after running over Luka.

[Bozo_Casanova 26462]

Man fuck Zubac. No matter what happens, Tyson Chandler needs to sit Daniel Gafford down for a conversation about how to handle a guy like that. 

[dcar00 14210]

I can't wait until Harden retires.  he's such bullshit on so many levels...

I don’t think so. Gafford is a man and is gonna show it tonight. 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Luka off to an 0-3 start. Kyrie pushing hard, but getting shut down. Gafford hurting. Washington in foul trouble.

We got this.

[gsoda3 3262]

Lol Luka passing up an open elbow jumper to take a contested three-pointer 3 ft behind the ark. All good if you make it though

[Get ln My Van 927]

How years of Maxi Kleber do we need to endure? 

[Firemans4Horn 18050]

Mavs are in trouble with this shit bag bench.
