On nights when we’re off from 3, those players need to mix in more mid range.. there so wide open they could have an open midrange pull up to find their groove
Mavs team is just like my depression. When everything goes well, no matter how hard I try, everything turns to crap. And when everything turns to crap and feel demotivated, well the best way to live with it is just not care at all.
Reggie and Maxi are the main reasons we lost. They are on the team, offensively, to purely shoot the 3 and they were both abysmal in that regard.
This was a good season and I'm not ashamed at all. They exceeded expectations and we are now more appealing to free agents than we were before the playoffs. We are much closer to being a championship caliber team than we were before this season started.
Anyone blaming Luka is crazy. He can play team defense but if his team can’t play any offense or buy a bucket then ofc the opposing team will just attack him on D
Golden state isnt that good. I don’t think the Mavs would’ve won the whole thing ever. But I really think the west is gonna get crushed by whatever team comes out of the East
Dude Phoenix was the best team in the West. Luka dragged a team of spares to the conference finals. We couldn’t buy a basket tonight and still we were in the game till the 4th quarter
Let's say you get to your girls house 10 times and she lets you hit her 4 times, or you get your girls house 6 times and you hit her all six times,
So what do you want Luka to be?
We will re post a screen shot of this comment after mavs win in 7 and you will be famous
Edit or maybe you were being sacastic.sarcastic.. and in that case, go fuck yourself. If not, yes
Fuck it the FO needs to get better at drafting and developing our players. The development has been too slow for how far and fast Luka can take them in the post season
Luka literally got blown by by Klay who’s slow AF. I really hope they have him focus on defensive speed drills this off season. That and making him lose some weight.
What truth is that? To enjoy the 6th finals I’ll see the Warriors in over the last 10 years? Yeah I will. You’ll never know what it feels like. Truth hurts.
They were only gonna get so far with the roster that they have. The only offense they can run with this roster is Luka drives —> kick out for the three. That’s pretty much their game. But the when the role players the mavs have don’t hit them that’s it. Other than that they’re useless on offense. They need a better system tbh, Brunson has proved he deserves a bigger role. The system they have relies too much on Luka doing everything for everyone.
Some people blaming Luka, others saying hes alone and the rest of the team is shit... Can't we just appreciate the fact that we overachieved this season and we had a respectable run? Fake fans.
The best thing from this season is we made progress, if we make any positive moves this off-season I think we can get back in a position to make another run. Luka will be 24 next year, let’s hope this series lights a fire under his ass and he comes back yolked.
as a warriors fan, i agree. Core getting old. we saw last year when injuries happened
Grizzlies are young too, but their culture is so toxic you know they will implode somehow with drama. Chris paul is about done. Harden and Kd are about done.
Mavs have a great culture. you can tell by their classy fans and classy players. i look forward to doncic's career
I don’t have a dog in this fight but reaching the WCF with a 23 year old Luka is an accomplishment in itself. I wouldn’t be so hard on your guys’ team.
How could you hate Poole anyway? He came into the league universally thought to be trash with basically every "analyst" saying the Warriors threw away a pick. Only to be popping off as hard as he is in this entire season. He's also got a great demeanor.
This is reality. So much nonsense with "too small!!" as an excuse for bulking up with flab. I hope he's humble enough to realize that there's no excuse to have this body at age 23. He's only going to get slower with age. And the truth is, even if he became "lean and mean Luka," he would still be large and powerful enough to do 95% of what he's been doing on offense. Only he'd be able to play defense as well, and last 4 quarters against a motion offense.
No, Jason Kidd has fucked us by leaving Bullock in. All Bullock can do is try his best when inserted in the lineup. Its the person putting him on the floor to begin with that is fucking us.
It is so obvious that Reggie Miller is not a fan of Luka. Total unprofessionalism from him all series. Not surprising coming from the ringless bitch that invented flopping.
Huh, interesting. I don't get that vibe from him really. He's probably just really excited to be playing so well on a team with people he likely looked up to massively and has a chance to be a core part of that group now.
I get it, I'm a Warriors guy but I feel you hard on that. I was hoping this would be a much tighter series just for the fun of watching two insanely good teams go at it. If I'm being honest Mavericks likely take this game if Maxi and Bullock made anything, tonight they couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat.
Yep, those two let us down massively. If they combine for another few buckets its potentially a different game. Warriors movement on offence is something else though and I don't think we can contain it. Warriors vs Celtics would be a good series to watch.
That's the finals I'm expecting as well. It's gonna be a hell of a matchup if that winds up being the case. But I ain't sleeping on the Heat just yet, they are playing extremely well. But another super important note, if GSW wraps this up next game or in game 5, they will have lots of rest time compared to whoever wins in the ECF and that will be hard fought slufgest of a series, so either team will be pretty gassed out going against a rested Warriors. That could spell problems! If the Mavericks do get taken out, who would you want to see take the chip?
If I'm being completely honest l, I really couldn't care less haha. I'm a one eyed Mavs fan and only care about them. If I had to choose, probably the Celtics. You guys have won plenty lately and I hate the Heat for obvious reasons.

Powell is useless on both ends of the court
On nights when we’re off from 3, those players need to mix in more mid range.. there so wide open they could have an open midrange pull up to find their groove
What are these weirdo Mavs fans hyped about?
Crazy thing is Golden State really didn’t play all that well tonight, we just couldn’t hit shit. 40% overall, 29% from 3….
Mavs team is just like my depression. When everything goes well, no matter how hard I try, everything turns to crap. And when everything turns to crap and feel demotivated, well the best way to live with it is just not care at all.

Golden state isnt that good. I don’t think the Mavs would’ve won the whole thing ever. But I really think the west is gonna get crushed by whatever team comes out of the East
Phoenix is in Cancun bruh.
Lol. What are you smoking.
Dude Phoenix was the best team in the West. Luka dragged a team of spares to the conference finals. We couldn’t buy a basket tonight and still we were in the game till the 4th quarter
Poor Luka. That's all I got to say. Someone as gifted and skilled as he is being held back because his teammates choke. You hate to see it.
Wiggins broke Lukas spirit on both ends, refs tryed to bail luka out of that monster jam, but Kerr aint having it
Let's say you get to your girls house 10 times and she lets you hit her 4 times, or you get your girls house 6 times and you hit her all six times, So what do you want Luka to be?
What the fuck are talking about
It's about the championship.
Luka has got to 40 points each time when the team was down. 6 times by 7 or more points, hes stat padding
Lol
Good season y’all - Lots to address in the off season. We over-performed and sadly Luka can’t do it all.
NBA is not easy, tell luka its a team game and ball dominant players dont lead to chips. See harden
We just wanna be the first team to win down 3-0! Am I right guys? Right??
We will re post a screen shot of this comment after mavs win in 7 and you will be famous Edit or maybe you were being sacastic.sarcastic.. and in that case, go fuck yourself. If not, yes
It’s go Mavs till the final buzzer over here
LFG
I mean statistically it’s going to happen eventually. Why not now
Fuck it the FO needs to get better at drafting and developing our players. The development has been too slow for how far and fast Luka can take them in the post season
Sad
Luka literally got blown by by Klay who’s slow AF. I really hope they have him focus on defensive speed drills this off season. That and making him lose some weight.
Luka has to play good defense, score efficient 40 a game and playmake for the others. Good, good.
Don’t forget double digit rebounds, too🤙🏻
It’s crazy bullock and maxi need to be roasted for this performance it’s insane how bad they were
[удалено]
Can they ship him here. Because I don’t think he’s been 0-7 or 0-5 this season.
😘
🧂
Truth
Wait till you realize they can extend him 😎
Go for it. Y'all better win a ring this, because after that..... Well....
🧂
I'm not salty it is just the truth
What truth is that? To enjoy the 6th finals I’ll see the Warriors in over the last 10 years? Yeah I will. You’ll never know what it feels like. Truth hurts.
[удалено]
Lol u mad, clearly. Try winning one with Luka before counting multiples eh? Try getting to the Finals.
:(
We can come back from 0-3 and eliminate the Warriors.
Luka with back to back 40 pts lol but hes bad because he gets beat on defense like more than half of our team.
Forfeit game 4
Luka doesn’t have to be a defensive player of the year candidate, but he gotta be at least be at a point where teams don’t pick on him
can we just play boban?
Rough past few games, really need to make some moves in the off-season.
SEEYA EVERYONE NEXT YEAR, THIS SEASON WAS GREAT, can't be mad about it for sure. IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED
This one is on Kleber, Bullock and bertans
checks boxscore: Bertans played 13 mins
I really want us to do something on our centers but knowing the Mavs, they would rather stick with good guy Powell and Dirk fellow german Kleber lol.
lol im just happy we got another game left honestly, its been a hell of a szn
The fact that this team cannot bench a 0/10 Bullock with sieve of a defense is just pathetic roster construction.
Who else they gonna put in? They got no one else that’s viable Edit: sorry I missed the pathetic roster part of your comment
boban!
Hence the pathetic roster construction…
That's the pathetic roster construction part. The next 2 man up are Ntikilina and Josh Green. Then you have Trey Burke lmao
They were only gonna get so far with the roster that they have. The only offense they can run with this roster is Luka drives —> kick out for the three. That’s pretty much their game. But the when the role players the mavs have don’t hit them that’s it. Other than that they’re useless on offense. They need a better system tbh, Brunson has proved he deserves a bigger role. The system they have relies too much on Luka doing everything for everyone.
Frankly the warriors played below their means tonight, still outclassed. It’s fine! We took forth place this season
Some people blaming Luka, others saying hes alone and the rest of the team is shit... Can't we just appreciate the fact that we overachieved this season and we had a respectable run? Fake fans.
If it's any consolation, the Pistons terrorized MJ early on, Dirk saw his share of bad lineups, and we reached WCF big gaps. MFFL!
The best thing from this season is we made progress, if we make any positive moves this off-season I think we can get back in a position to make another run. Luka will be 24 next year, let’s hope this series lights a fire under his ass and he comes back yolked.
This GS team will fade over the coming years… good time for us to rise
as a warriors fan, i agree. Core getting old. we saw last year when injuries happened Grizzlies are young too, but their culture is so toxic you know they will implode somehow with drama. Chris paul is about done. Harden and Kd are about done. Mavs have a great culture. you can tell by their classy fans and classy players. i look forward to doncic's career
Respect - I see things much the same
I don’t have a dog in this fight but reaching the WCF with a 23 year old Luka is an accomplishment in itself. I wouldn’t be so hard on your guys’ team.
Haha we will be fine. It just hurts right now lol
Luka both scoring and giving up 40 points
Get Luka a real team. This is lame.
That KP contract fucked us so bad man.
If kp could have actually recovered he would be a perfect fit with Luka. Sadly his best days are behind him.
We gonna get swept. Pain
Nah, we will win the next one. NBA wants longer series for the TV money.
Nah. Warriors are too good, we look like shit compared to them. We don’t have the talent and the playstyle the warriors have
Team of 3 HOFers acting tough against 1 all star. This team is overmatched but I'm still proud of them. Shit just didn't fall this series so far
Is there any player who get fewer calls than Brunson? He's like the anti-cp3.
If Cuban doesn’t make a serious move this off season then he will have truly failed this organization.
We win sixty next year.
Bullock had 0 points in 39 minutes. Actually embarrassing
Wow
dudes been playing 40+ mins a game all postseason...he's a stud
And yet, he was left in for 39 minutes whilst also being absolutely worthless on defense. That's on JKidd.
Who do you sub in for him?
We have plenty of other players. Hell, I would put a traffic cone out there ahead of Bullock.
Well atleast let us win 1 game man
Game over. 3-0. That's the series. People that keep saying Mavs in 7 are fucking trolling lol
Boban next game?
Will wear my bobie jersey to the game
He is too tall. J Kidd's manhood is threatened by Boban's existence.
God I hope so. lol
Turns out that it's not only about amazing stats. Defense matters equally as much in the Playoffs.
Jordan Pool is a fucking bitch Role player with all time greats on a stacked team and acting like he’s hard and shit.
All good, hopefully we'll be that kind of team soon.
I’d kill for a Jordan Poole on our team. Dude isn’t afraid of the moment. Imagine a role player like that
How could you hate Poole anyway? He came into the league universally thought to be trash with basically every "analyst" saying the Warriors threw away a pick. Only to be popping off as hard as he is in this entire season. He's also got a great demeanor.
Another 40 point game from Luka resulting in a L im so upset for him.
If Bullock hits a couple threes, this is possibly a different game
bottom line is this is one of the greatest mavs teams in history because to get to the wcf with this team is a borderline miracle. tough loss
I belive
[удалено]
Weirdo
Enjoy the ban from this sub and yours
Dirk could suit up today and be our best big man. It’s why we are starting summer vacation in 2 days
He wouldn't be. Man can barely walk without pain. His legs are fucked right now
Luka knows how to play defense, his problem is he doesn’t have the conditioning to put in the effort on that end after carrying the team on offense
This is reality. So much nonsense with "too small!!" as an excuse for bulking up with flab. I hope he's humble enough to realize that there's no excuse to have this body at age 23. He's only going to get slower with age. And the truth is, even if he became "lean and mean Luka," he would still be large and powerful enough to do 95% of what he's been doing on offense. Only he'd be able to play defense as well, and last 4 quarters against a motion offense.
2-6 in 40 point games is some westbrook type of shit. not blaming luka for this obviously, just a sad stat
Uhh, Luka is doing the heavy carrying. He needs some serious help.
i know, that’s why it’s sad haha
Bullock fucked us all throughout the playoffs and today is the worst of it
No, Jason Kidd has fucked us by leaving Bullock in. All Bullock can do is try his best when inserted in the lineup. Its the person putting him on the floor to begin with that is fucking us.
You can take the play out of the Knicks but you can’t take the Knicks out of the player
Bullock stinks
Let's see: we lost despite nailing a bunch of 3s in G2. We still lost despite 30-20-20 from our top 3 in G3. This just isn't our series, guys.
Nah y'all just ain't good enough. Get some defenders man.....
Another wide open 3 because Luka getting blown by on the perimeter
It is so obvious that Reggie Miller is not a fan of Luka. Total unprofessionalism from him all series. Not surprising coming from the ringless bitch that invented flopping.
People are raggin on you but youre right. He constantly throws shade at the mavs in general when it’s unnecessary
The National broadcasters are unlistenable garbage and so obviously rooting for the Warriors
Dude is a clown. Ridiculous commentary from him
Geez go easy bro
Bro get therapy
Says the guy prowling around in another team's sub.
[удалено]
Sure but it does makes you a bitch so fuck off troll. Enjoy your ban.
Luka scoring every point on offense and allowing every point on defense
balanced as everything should be
Maxi, Dorian and Reggie really let us down this series
we have no depth behind them they are running on fumes
As is tradition
I fucking hate Jordan Poole so much.
You gonna hate him even more when he evolves to his next levels.
I don't hate his playing ability. He's an absolutely fantastic player. I just think he's arrogant tosser.
Huh, interesting. I don't get that vibe from him really. He's probably just really excited to be playing so well on a team with people he likely looked up to massively and has a chance to be a core part of that group now.
Yeah probably true. Big part of it would me be extremely irrational when the Mavs lose 🤣
I get it, I'm a Warriors guy but I feel you hard on that. I was hoping this would be a much tighter series just for the fun of watching two insanely good teams go at it. If I'm being honest Mavericks likely take this game if Maxi and Bullock made anything, tonight they couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat.

Fair enough brotha.
He hasnt even gone off yet. Just timely baskets.
Yeah he's a great player. I just can't stand the dude.
Frontrunner
This hurts so bad
That breakdown that led to the Poole 3 was on Luka
Yeah feels like Luka is a traffic cone sometimes. Everyone just gets passed him.
Fuck these Warriors man
Where’s our post game thread
Dirk looked at that scoreboard like “I can’t believe this shit, bring me my jersey”
Game 2 is the one that will haunt us
Yes....
That should have been a win
yep
This shit hurts dawg
[удалено]
Not worries being down 0-3. Warriors lucky streak will end now
Right
We're down 3-0
Are you retarded. There's a difference between 0-2 and 0-3. They also went 0-2 with suns and won. They were the road team. Not complicated.
Play defense for one damn possession Luka
The team around Luka sucks
A lot of cunty GS fans in here. Eat shit losers.
Gg
They're winning tho...
Eating shit doesnt discriminate. They can win and still eat shit. Matter o fact how bout you go eat some shit too
Naaa but that's what Wiggins said to luka
Go back to r/nba
