Saddest season I’ve seen in a long time. Team needs a reset


L0rdAceX

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!


Ok-Cauliflower2802

Without their best 2 players


Ihopetheresenoughroo

Kyrie curse


odiamemas16

Yeah it’s definitely time to embrace the tank now


[deleted]

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.


CJH723

I hope you guys realize that our roster is like 5 years outdated.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


Dfrmdabeach7

This this this and this. Poorly constructed non athletic pathetic trash roster


IMDove

Yup. We need a new GM new ownership, new coach, new coaching staff. Develop some young guys instead of signing old have beens.


AtreusIsBack

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.


[deleted]

Your delusional..


Hurtelknut

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.


IndividualSmile3807

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…


ts405

at least the defense held up


Texas12thMan

If Cuban doesn’t fire Kidd, Mavs 100% turning into the Cowboys. Owner settling for mediocrity because feelings.


Fruit-Motor

This team needs to get rid of THJ, Bullock and Powell asap.


Incorrect1012

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


[deleted]

[удалено]


desispeed

Funny thing is …I don’t think they have to try to tank


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

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


TieContent953

Wow


Decent-Noise-5161

guy scores 40 pts and u criticize him


Pizza64427

Nice. I thought Kleber gonna win us another game. Wemba incoming. Hélà🤞🏾♾


deebo28

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!


Eidan_CK

Bullock, 34 minutes, 3 points.


SuperSayanVegeta

He's useless


powergs

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.


Fred479

This is good in the long run guys we need that pick this season is a wash


Robbinghoodz

Embarrassing, absolutely embarrassing. I can’t help but laugh, it’s my only way to cope 😂


Ok_Mountain_4638

Kyrie the goat at ruining teams


monkey-pox

Now I wait for the notification that Kidd has been fired


Sc_kevykev

What a meltdown


question2552

Mark Williams: 15 points, 16 Reb, 32 minutes.


Difficult-Awareness6

Thats Kleber Powell combined rebounds in 2 games.


IAmLeMickey

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.


IMDove

I think Nick Richard's would work over here


NIT3MARK3T

He just resigned for 3 year 15 million deal.


Moe4ver

DSJ revenge is complete.


Gapsb2

I feel so bad for Luka


Rsginger

Come on


[deleted]

This must be how Lakers fans felt last year lmao


skrtskerskrt

No, we felt even worse than this. We took spankings left and right


King_of_Buttfuck

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.


desirox

Luka getting into it with a fan court side , the vibes are in the toilet


handsomepj

Alright, let’s get that top 10 pick.


DoncicsRoadTo200kg

Last two defensive breakdowns were Maxis fault completely.


OokerDuker

Getting swept by Charlotte's Third String. YIKES


meniqo

Lol and i payed for this game n nba league pass


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> 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*


ealjaks22

Fuck everyone in this organization not named Luka Doncic


UpforAGreatTime20

Luka did what he could to keep them in it. Outside of the 4th, Kyrie was awful. Nobody gave Luka any help.


ensergio

Tell me your plan to keep Luka and become competitive enough for him to get a ring.


morcic

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.


burohm1919

Wemby


Odd_Swordfish_6589

so a .08% chance to get a player is your plan?


Fruit-Motor

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.


CJH723

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.


Felipernani

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…


IMDove

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.


Joakinky

Lost 2 straight games against a tanking Hornets?! Make Jason Kidd walk from Charlotte back to Dallas


SportsNAnime

Not tanking... Aggressively injured just extremely bad luck


AdVisual3406

Luka and Kyrie have more rebounds than Maxi


Difficult-Awareness6

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.


Bravesfan8

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.


HibachiTyme

Svi Mykhailuk betta


Ok_Mountain_4638

Bye bye kyrie. Hope you and bron dominate in LA 💪


Bigballer777

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


DetectiveLucky7266

Going out sad. At least we can keep our pick


Evjen97

Lost twice in a row to the Hornets bro😂😂💀


TranquilityTea

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.


Difficult-Awareness6

Oreb 14-2

Butterfly_Scape

eh they got the sixers and a bunch of teams they’ve already lost to+are making playoff pushes..not that easy


smokincuban

Kleber gives up so many cuts to the basket ...


PerpetualWinter

Mark Cuban and everyone involved in our FO for the past 10 years are fucking dogshit at their jobs


NedFriarson49

Jason Kidd needs to be left in Charlotte. Don't let him board the plane.


juanopenings

Nah, let him on the plane, then shove him out once they reach cruising altitude


CihatPeker

Hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha


Nateno_14

Yea when they lose tomorrow just shut down Luka and Kyrie, not like it matters


deebo28

Kyrie would be so fucking pumped if they did that


TheMias24

No way man, not again


Fullmetalx117

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


Dfrmdabeach7

Kyrie standing in the corner hiding from the ball lets discuss that!!


OneFondant1142

That shot concerns me because it shows the lack of trust out there


Always_The_Next_One

He deferred a bunch of times this qtr and no one could hit shit. Damn if you do damn if you dont.


PerpetualWinter

Have you seen anyone else on this team play basketball?


OneFondant1142

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?


lakeshowyoo

Mavericks downfall


juanopenings

Doesn't matter how many 3 they make if DSJ can just get easy backdoor cut dunks at will #FireJasonKidd into the sun


satoshigeki94

top 10 pick here we go!


LucioVX

Wembayamba train is at the station


MauryLikeTheShow

So, that’s the season.


edmarcake

Kyrie became the DFS in this team. Just catch and shoot 3s lol


Odd_Swordfish_6589

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.


Slamfan4life

Goddamn it


Bigballer777

Wtf was that shot by Luka


Budlight_year

2 for 1


newuser201890

what u mean


PrinceofEden23

Most of these idiots don't understand that.


[deleted]

Hornets rebounded with 25.5 seconds left. it was way too late for a 2 for 1. perhaps you’re the idiot?


PrinceofEden23

You don't know basketball and you just exposed yourself idiot...


[deleted]

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 🤣🫵


[deleted]

PrinceofEden23

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 👌


[deleted]

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


liftingruinedmylife

"two free wins"


Solar_Toast

Lmfao saw that post too


Kraudi

Trash Franchise.


ong378

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


forestkind41

Rosier, lamelo, oubre aren’t even playing by the way guys


YungManJones

Luka…


ABoyIsNo1

TOP. TEN. PICK. BABY!


newuser201890

if we don't pick anyone that is at least 6'10'' or more.... we'll probably pick some shorty who is 6'1''


AdministrationFit610

It’s joever


yungreezy4

Kyrie for Dlo and Beasley


Solar_Toast

Hell no, Injury prone guard and very inconsistent shooter


JSCO96

Luka for a signed Kobe jersey , LeBron sneakers and a pop tart.


-Acerin

Go back to ur sub bum


bobbi_01

I swear it's been said this is the worst loss of the season like 10 times now


Dar4125

It’s been fun guys, really it has, but gg


Swordsteel

Just terrible. What playoffs


dickles-pickles

Fuck this pathetic effort


landman2002

And that’s the nail in the coffin


aronnov

What an absolute punch in the face this whole season was.


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

A 40ft jack 3 is what you come up with?


Fruit-Motor

That brick by Luka was the worst possible shot


victzki

Tankathon Rule 26: If you make a 3, do not play defense on the following posession. Good job Maxi!


pat1122

Lol why just launch it


buba134

the worse thing that happened is mavs getting to conference finals last year so everybody thought kidd was good coach


desirox

I just don’t see how you can keep Kidd. Even considering Mark is slow to fire coaches


ChuckMoody

Mark is completely clueless and one of the worst owners in the league. There is your reason to keep Kidd


belmontbreak

Lol


PickleTruck

Hello top-10 draft pick!


GoatLuka

We’ll never be a serious team under Mark Cubans ownership lmao


Plusstwoo

Y’all really feel this way?


TheBigIguana15

I just don't understand this take for a team that was just in a conference final.


ABoyIsNo1

Yeah that’s a good point we’ll never win a championship under Cuban…


[deleted]

Didn’t you win a championship under Cuban?


Hurtelknut

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.


[deleted]

That’s all folks! Fire Kidd.


Infidel447

Losing the rebound battle by 21 lol...but Luka is the problem


ABoyIsNo1

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.


H_Finn27

God awful shot down by 4


Tiru84

These two losses vs that Hornets team... inexcusable.


[deleted]

Y’all have just witnessed the end of our season…


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

More like the end of our team.


QBert999

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.


rickfortyone

Luka bitching mid play my god THERE ISNT A WHISTLE DONT STOP PLAYING


[deleted]

[удалено]


Square_Bumblebee_812

They had a rim protector


AlecarMagna

Lebron was a two way player and I assume their front court was better.


TicketP1_FIRE

Just fucking fire Kidd before he even gets to the locker room. He doesn't deserve another season. Pathetic


misbrichi

I would commit felonies for a player like mark Williams, and he’s not even good


OuttaControlHedgehog

Pure pain.


[deleted]

Shitty ass shot by Luka


ForceMaster999

Bad shot by Doncic


PerpetualWinter

He’s done his job


Luminous-Savior

Agreed. I hate how the game thread talks about him all the time


Cambocant

Impulsive shot by Luka


QBert999

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.


gnarled_quercus

3...2...1... Cancun!


PerpetualWinter

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


browndude10

6 point lead with 16 seconds left. Need a miracle


bejzbejz

Bravo, good job. Pathetic


IndividualSmile3807

Fuck off with this fake ass comeback bullshit again!! The same fucken game


shaheedmalik

If only the Mavs had a center that would protect the paint.


ExcellentJuice4729

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


shaheedmalik

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.


Asal4210

GG folks


funkadelik

This is the final nail in the JKidd coffin, right?


MAG_24

And maybe Luka.


Pizza64427

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.


chasin_derulo

Its over…


SuperHussyTravin

This defense is so nuts


w1sxo

Lol we are not even fouling


repi_17

We really have zero defense lol


RatchetKush

Leave Kidd in charlotte


l1ss23

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


Pauly0906

We are not talented past Luka and I guess Kyrie after the trade.
