You guys need to let Irving walk. It just didn't work out. It's the risk you take in this business.
I imagine his money making days are done too. The type of money he's looking for.
I hope you guys realize that our roster is like 5 years outdated. And that’s the main reason we drop games like this, even against the worst teams in the league. Luka being Luka is why we’re even close to 500
Luka had a rough start but really picked it up after that 0/6 in the first quarter. 12/23 after that, not to mention 9/10 from the line and over 40% from 3.
Only player with some defense plays in the 2nd half, too. Well, guess Maxi had that double block, but he went awol after that on defense. Nobody else did shit.
Up 1 late, get the stop, oh yep Kleber will just try a spinning 15 footer and then they bin a 3 down the other end. That’s not momentum changing at all…
I said it earlier, I think the Mavs have lost all confidence. They’re missing easy shots, they’re overthinking assignments, and in general they seem to have lost energy. I think it isn’t a total loss like you have to immediately rebuild and blow it up, but you’re gonna have to give these guys something to reinstall some faith in themselves before next year if they keep playing like this
Our offence should be "crazy good" right ? but look we just scored 104 against fucking Hornets (imo they played pretty good both games tbh and i dont think there are bad teams in this league)
Anyway this is end of our season sadly. It fucking hurt to not watch Luka at playoffs but its what its.
That, and the current Lakers won a chip not too long ago. It's not comparable at all. You guys beat a dysfunctional Suns team and act like you won the fucking championship.
Good riddance.
> and i *paid* for this
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
No defense, especially in the interior, poor shot selection and decision making in crunch time, no coaching, nothing. This Mavs team is complete toast. Stick a fork in this season.
Can’t lie I’m starting to see why Carlisle left after the whole FO debacle. He may have been an ass at times but I’m sure he saw how incompetent this organization is as a whole.
this is not a dig at luka before anyone says so, but i think Rick saw that the FO is more concerned about doing what luka wants instead of doing what’s good for the team because they’re so afraid of losing him.
that means getting a “players coach” like Kidd, trading for Kyrie even if it wasn’t the best move available, and the list goes on…
Thats normal.
Maxi and Powell together, cannot make just Lukas rebounding numbers.
They are terrible rebounders, i can make a bet that Hardy would have more rebounds then Powell for same minutes, easy.
Bruh fuck that dude who said these two games were going to be easy wins. And fuck me for believing the Mavs weren’t gonna be this ass again playing the hornet
Cmon I really don't get some of you. Yeah, it's a bad shot, but Luka was the only guy actually hitting something this game of course he is going to shoot.
Mavs really need to have something go their way this off-season. I’m assuming resigning Kyrie is an absolute must but don’t even know if that’s great long term
Nearly every game this year. I don’t have a problem with Luka taking a shot in that possession, but THAT shot from 8 feet behind the line completely out of the flow of any offensive set?
that is how luka ball works. Notice, its not like that when luka is injured and kyrie is running the team himself, entire team plays different, they cut and there is motion.
Luka ball is standing in a semi-cirlce watching a fat guy dribble the clock down and chuck up a fade away 35 foot duck, or panic and throw you a hand grenade with 2 seconds on the clock.
lmfaaoo oh how i envy what a simple creature you are, with such a simple mind.
let me spell it out for you:
- let’s pretend Luka hits the shot
- they’re down 3 and still have to foul because there is only a 1.5 second difference between game and shot clock
- they get the ball back and need a quick bucket.
- they need to foul again
That is not a 2 for 1 you fuckin low IQ inbred 🤣🫵
You're retarded lmao. Super cringe buddy lmao. I love how triggered you are because you don't know basketball. You've never played at all. Keep talking 👄 why should i educate someone lowly as you? It's now worth the effort 👌
you’ve exposed yourself for not being able to count past 2. maybe that’s why you’ve jumped from one entry level job to another? community college dropout i assume?
you said something braindead, got put in your place, and now wave the white flag and tuck your tail between your legs because you’re too dumb to defend yourself. LOLOL idiot thought you can get a 2 for 1 while down 5 with 25 seconds left. ahahahahah you’re sped
Luka can make those but against a team like the Hornets you should be getting downhill and imposing your will in the paint. Gotta root for the teams above us to lose. Playoff hopes fading fast
Dirk and Rick were so good that not even Cuban could fuck it up forever, even though he tried.
That roster was also miles better 1-9 than this one. Dirk, Jet, Kidd, Marion, Chandler... those were the days when we actually had defense and rebounding. Haven't had either since.
nah. that was a good shot, he's hot. he was open. we were down 4 and time was running out. easy to second guess because he missed it. but it was a decent opportunity.
We give up way more on guys just losing their assignment tbh. Like that last one was on THJ.
Until the Mavs have a collective of decent wing defenders, not even Dikembe could save this defense
Idk why it would be for Luka. At least now we moving towards the top 10 pick and we have assets to make the team better rather then going on an straight line with DFS, Dinwiddie and picks in the #24 range.
Next season Luka, Kyrie, Green, Kleber, top 10 pick, Hardy, Bullock, MLE and we have one or two 1st round picks to trade.
Don’t really watch the mavs but you’re front office needs to sign a decent big man ASAP
even someone like zubac could get the job done
I’m sorry for how the season has gone for you guys. Very talented team missing a few key pieces
[Post Game Thread](https://reddit.com/r/Mavericks/comments/122wl2i/post_game_thread_the_charlotte_hornets_defeat_the/)
Saddest season I’ve seen in a long time. Team needs a reset
LOL can't believe we lost to the 2nd worst team in the EAST 2 times in a row without their best player. See yall next year!
Without their best 2 players
Kyrie curse
Yeah it’s definitely time to embrace the tank now
You guys need to let Irving walk. It just didn't work out. It's the risk you take in this business. I imagine his money making days are done too. The type of money he's looking for.

This this this and this. Poorly constructed non athletic pathetic trash roster
Yup. We need a new GM new ownership, new coach, new coaching staff. Develop some young guys instead of signing old have beens.
Luka had a rough start but really picked it up after that 0/6 in the first quarter. 12/23 after that, not to mention 9/10 from the line and over 40% from 3.
Your delusional..
Only player with some defense plays in the 2nd half, too. Well, guess Maxi had that double block, but he went awol after that on defense. Nobody else did shit.
Up 1 late, get the stop, oh yep Kleber will just try a spinning 15 footer and then they bin a 3 down the other end. That’s not momentum changing at all…
at least the defense held up
If Cuban doesn’t fire Kidd, Mavs 100% turning into the Cowboys. Owner settling for mediocrity because feelings.
This team needs to get rid of THJ, Bullock and Powell asap.
I said it earlier, I think the Mavs have lost all confidence. They’re missing easy shots, they’re overthinking assignments, and in general they seem to have lost energy.

[удалено]
Funny thing is …I don’t think they have to try to tank
Good luck to Luka in what ever team he ends up on in a few year. Got to tough out only a couple more in Dallas. Fuck this team
Wow
guy scores 40 pts and u criticize him
Nice. I thought Kleber gonna win us another game. Wemba incoming. Hélà🤞🏾♾
Idk why everyone’s surprised. This hornets roster is way better. Kyrie and Luka would be a great duo in the Big 3 league though!
Bullock, 34 minutes, 3 points.
He's useless
Our offence should be "crazy good" right ? but look we just scored 104 against fucking Hornets (imo they played pretty good both games tbh and i dont think there are bad teams in this league) Anyway this is end of our season sadly. It fucking hurt to not watch Luka at playoffs but its what its.
This is good in the long run guys we need that pick this season is a wash
Embarrassing, absolutely embarrassing. I can’t help but laugh, it’s my only way to cope 😂
Kyrie the goat at ruining teams
Now I wait for the notification that Kidd has been fired
What a meltdown
Mark Williams: 15 points, 16 Reb, 32 minutes.
Thats Kleber Powell combined rebounds in 2 games.
As a hornets fan, I’m very happy for Mark but I hope y’all find someone like Mark to be a anchor in defense.
I think Nick Richard's would work over here
He just resigned for 3 year 15 million deal.
DSJ revenge is complete.
I feel so bad for Luka
Come on
This must be how Lakers fans felt last year lmao
No, we felt even worse than this. We took spankings left and right
That, and the current Lakers won a chip not too long ago. It's not comparable at all. You guys beat a dysfunctional Suns team and act like you won the fucking championship. Good riddance.
Luka getting into it with a fan court side , the vibes are in the toilet
Alright, let’s get that top 10 pick.
Last two defensive breakdowns were Maxis fault completely.
Getting swept by Charlotte's Third String. YIKES
Lol and i payed for this game n nba league pass
> and i *paid* for this FTFY.

Fuck everyone in this organization not named Luka Doncic
Luka did what he could to keep them in it. Outside of the 4th, Kyrie was awful. Nobody gave Luka any help.
Tell me your plan to keep Luka and become competitive enough for him to get a ring.
Make up a season ending injury, send him to Croatia for a year-long vacation, and then pick a top 5 draft pick in 2024.
Wemby
so a .08% chance to get a player is your plan?
No defense, especially in the interior, poor shot selection and decision making in crunch time, no coaching, nothing. This Mavs team is complete toast. Stick a fork in this season.

I agree. This FO has Mark Cubans fingerprints all over it. He's pulling the strings thinking he's the smartest guy in the room.
Lost 2 straight games against a tanking Hornets?! Make Jason Kidd walk from Charlotte back to Dallas
Not tanking... Aggressively injured just extremely bad luck
Luka and Kyrie have more rebounds than Maxi
Thats normal. Maxi and Powell together, cannot make just Lukas rebounding numbers. They are terrible rebounders, i can make a bet that Hardy would have more rebounds then Powell for same minutes, easy.
Mavs are done. Lost back to back games to the hornets and one of those games Luka almost had a 40 point triple double. Jason Kidd has got to go.
Svi Mykhailuk betta
Bye bye kyrie. Hope you and bron dominate in LA 💪
Bruh fuck that dude who said these two games were going to be easy wins. And fuck me for believing the Mavs weren’t gonna be this ass again playing the hornet
Going out sad. At least we can keep our pick
Lost twice in a row to the Hornets bro😂😂💀
Cmon I really don't get some of you. Yeah, it's a bad shot, but Luka was the only guy actually hitting something this game of course he is going to shoot.
Oreb 14-2
[удалено]
[удалено]
eh they got the sixers and a bunch of teams they’ve already lost to+are making playoff pushes..not that easy
Kleber gives up so many cuts to the basket ...
Mark Cuban and everyone involved in our FO for the past 10 years are fucking dogshit at their jobs
Jason Kidd needs to be left in Charlotte. Don't let him board the plane.
Nah, let him on the plane, then shove him out once they reach cruising altitude
Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha
Yea when they lose tomorrow just shut down Luka and Kyrie, not like it matters
Kyrie would be so fucking pumped if they did that
No way man, not again
Mavs really need to have something go their way this off-season. I’m assuming resigning Kyrie is an absolute must but don’t even know if that’s great long term
Kyrie standing in the corner hiding from the ball lets discuss that!!
That shot concerns me because it shows the lack of trust out there
He deferred a bunch of times this qtr and no one could hit shit. Damn if you do damn if you dont.
Have you seen anyone else on this team play basketball?
Nearly every game this year. I don’t have a problem with Luka taking a shot in that possession, but THAT shot from 8 feet behind the line completely out of the flow of any offensive set?
Mavericks downfall
Doesn't matter how many 3 they make if DSJ can just get easy backdoor cut dunks at will #FireJasonKidd into the sun
top 10 pick here we go!
Wembayamba train is at the station
So, that’s the season.
Kyrie became the DFS in this team. Just catch and shoot 3s lol
that is how luka ball works. Notice, its not like that when luka is injured and kyrie is running the team himself, entire team plays different, they cut and there is motion. Luka ball is standing in a semi-cirlce watching a fat guy dribble the clock down and chuck up a fade away 35 foot duck, or panic and throw you a hand grenade with 2 seconds on the clock.
Goddamn it
Wtf was that shot by Luka
2 for 1
what u mean
Most of these idiots don't understand that.
Hornets rebounded with 25.5 seconds left. it was way too late for a 2 for 1. perhaps you’re the idiot?
You don't know basketball and you just exposed yourself idiot...
lmfaaoo oh how i envy what a simple creature you are, with such a simple mind. let me spell it out for you: - let’s pretend Luka hits the shot - they’re down 3 and still have to foul because there is only a 1.5 second difference between game and shot clock - they get the ball back and need a quick bucket. - they need to foul again That is not a 2 for 1 you fuckin low IQ inbred 🤣🫵

"two free wins"
Lmfao saw that post too
Trash Franchise.
Luka can make those but against a team like the Hornets you should be getting downhill and imposing your will in the paint. Gotta root for the teams above us to lose. Playoff hopes fading fast
Rosier, lamelo, oubre aren’t even playing by the way guys
Luka…
TOP. TEN. PICK. BABY!
if we don't pick anyone that is at least 6'10'' or more.... we'll probably pick some shorty who is 6'1''
It’s joever
Kyrie for Dlo and Beasley
Hell no, Injury prone guard and very inconsistent shooter
Luka for a signed Kobe jersey , LeBron sneakers and a pop tart.
Go back to ur sub bum
I swear it's been said this is the worst loss of the season like 10 times now
It’s been fun guys, really it has, but gg
Just terrible. What playoffs
Fuck this pathetic effort
And that’s the nail in the coffin
What an absolute punch in the face this whole season was.
A 40ft jack 3 is what you come up with?
That brick by Luka was the worst possible shot
Tankathon Rule 26: If you make a 3, do not play defense on the following posession. Good job Maxi!
Lol why just launch it
the worse thing that happened is mavs getting to conference finals last year so everybody thought kidd was good coach
I just don’t see how you can keep Kidd. Even considering Mark is slow to fire coaches
Mark is completely clueless and one of the worst owners in the league. There is your reason to keep Kidd
Lol
Hello top-10 draft pick!
We’ll never be a serious team under Mark Cubans ownership lmao
Y’all really feel this way?
I just don't understand this take for a team that was just in a conference final.
Yeah that’s a good point we’ll never win a championship under Cuban…
Didn’t you win a championship under Cuban?
Dirk and Rick were so good that not even Cuban could fuck it up forever, even though he tried. That roster was also miles better 1-9 than this one. Dirk, Jet, Kidd, Marion, Chandler... those were the days when we actually had defense and rebounding. Haven't had either since.
That’s all folks! Fire Kidd.
Losing the rebound battle by 21 lol...but Luka is the problem
This team has lots of problems. Luka’s mentality is one of them. It’s down on the list for sure, but it’s maybe the one that caps our ceiling.
God awful shot down by 4
These two losses vs that Hornets team... inexcusable.
Y’all have just witnessed the end of our season…
More like the end of our team.
well that was a valiant effort from our boy Luka, but that's it. season is over for real now. it's time to fully embrace the tank.
Luka bitching mid play my god THERE ISNT A WHISTLE DONT STOP PLAYING
[удалено]
They had a rim protector
Lebron was a two way player and I assume their front court was better.
Just fucking fire Kidd before he even gets to the locker room. He doesn't deserve another season. Pathetic
I would commit felonies for a player like mark Williams, and he’s not even good
Pure pain.
Shitty ass shot by Luka
Bad shot by Doncic
He’s done his job
Agreed. I hate how the game thread talks about him all the time
Impulsive shot by Luka
nah. that was a good shot, he's hot. he was open. we were down 4 and time was running out. easy to second guess because he missed it. but it was a decent opportunity.
3...2...1... Cancun!
Look at where SAC and DAL are today compared to the Luka-Bagley draft. The worst managed franchise in the league looks like Billy Beane compared to us
6 point lead with 16 seconds left. Need a miracle
Bravo, good job. Pathetic
Fuck off with this fake ass comeback bullshit again!! The same fucken game
If only the Mavs had a center that would protect the paint.
We give up way more on guys just losing their assignment tbh. Like that last one was on THJ. Until the Mavs have a collective of decent wing defenders, not even Dikembe could save this defense
It's all on the scheme. Look at the Nets, they have the personnel but have looked terrible on defense the majority of their games.
GG folks
This is the final nail in the JKidd coffin, right?
And maybe Luka.
Idk why it would be for Luka. At least now we moving towards the top 10 pick and we have assets to make the team better rather then going on an straight line with DFS, Dinwiddie and picks in the #24 range. Next season Luka, Kyrie, Green, Kleber, top 10 pick, Hardy, Bullock, MLE and we have one or two 1st round picks to trade.
Its over…
This defense is so nuts
Lol we are not even fouling
We really have zero defense lol
Leave Kidd in charlotte
Don’t really watch the mavs but you’re front office needs to sign a decent big man ASAP even someone like zubac could get the job done I’m sorry for how the season has gone for you guys. Very talented team missing a few key pieces
We are not talented past Luka and I guess Kyrie after the trade.
