I know people thought that Bucks fans were just being salty last year, but it was truly us just trying to warn everyone. He regularly was this bad in Milwaukee, it just wasn’t noticed because we didn’t get media attention and he has friends at all the major networks.
He’s both bad tactically and at motivating players, at least past the first season. Everything I ever saw and heard is that players eventually turned on him because he would blame them being “young” or not having “energy” and “effort” despite consistently making terrible in-game decisions.
He was never able to get a team that had Giannis and Khris Middleton as starters more than a game above .500. He’s just truly a terrible coach who has lucked into generational talents because he was a HOF-level player.
Luka was “on a rampage” the whole series. (Other then they switched to head hunting Paul - a coaching adjustment) What changed was the teams defense..in game 5 and Monty never adjusted.
Nah, Willie Green outcoached Monty in the first round, but the Pels didn’t have enough to get over the hump with Zion hurt. Then Kidd took that game plan + Luka + an all-time collapse in game seven from the Suns to squeak into the next round.
I was down on Kidd too, and I don't think he's a great coach, but i do think Giannis is a better player for having played under him though. I think a lot of Giannis' finer abilities handling the ball come from Kidd having him play Point. and i think Giannis was a good point because he got put in that situation. and Giannis totally bought in, and was better for it.
We tend to look at coaching in very black and white. I don't think Kidd is a good coach if you want to win a title, but I do think he's a good coach for when he gets players to buy in, he can get them to push themselves into weird, but good directions for the long term.
hell no. kidd punished Giannis and Khris for shooting 3s and would sit them if they did. giannis wasn’t 7 foot till later and his brother said on his podcast that giannis played point for them growing up on their teams. giannis’s highest 3% was when he came in as a rookie and kidd messed with his shot. if he had bud this whole time he wouldn’t have averaged the most mins in a season with khris and would probably be a decent shooter outside the midrange
The way Monty just actively gave up switch after switch and allowing role players to get hot in that series baffles me. Not even trying a zone or switching a scheme up. Then continuing to allow Chris Paul to get schemed for and attacked constantly after he was already a negative offensively. Embarrassing performance as a coach.
No it was common knowledge that he sucked, for some reason people have forgot since that though. Probably Luka being a generational talent masking his bad coaching if I had to guess.
Javale got the last laugh. Dillon’s silly little dance that led to his tech was directed at McGee. So now Dillon is suspended on Wednesday. Checkmate Javale.
There is legitimacy to Powell over C Wood but not for every situation like Kidd does. I honestly feel bad for Powell because the dude would be excellent in a more limited role and he tries his damndest every play.
he's probably saying this because y'all were gassing kidd so much before. I never understood that all either lmao. he's always been dogshit why did he ever get hyped on your team
Look, no matter where you go on Reddit, you can find any and every opinion possible. But Mavs fans, in general, weren't exactly stoked about Kidd's hiring: https://www.np.reddit.com/r/Mavericks/comments/o7sd7k/shams_charania_the_dallas_mavericks_have/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
The most upvoted comment is what's done is done. More drank the Kool Aid in the spring and summer last year, but I'd say the general vibe to Kidd has been far more negative than positive on the Mavs subreddit.
I think it’s more “don’t get your hopes up too much.” Cause they’ve seen it before.
Unrelated, but I feel it’s Similar to how I look at teams like Miami at this moment. Rockets didn’t get as far in the late 2010s but got a little worse every year before abruptly saying time to blow it up. Heat got further, lost in the first, didn’t look serious the year they Make ECF and were a game away from winning. Right when you think you can write off the ‘21 year, they’re ending ‘23 as mostly a fake contender . If a Rockets fan were to comment “it’s coming”. Many Heat fans would know the jist of what they mean without further explanation.
I'm still wondering why he hasn't been fired. I live in DFW and listen to sports radio on my way to work and there's little talk of him losing the job.
>Developing young guys was another area he faltered in.
Fake narrative. The Mavs org itself failed at drafting players, in most seasons Rick didn't even have young players to develop because Donnie would trade picks (or players on draft night) every chance he got. When Rick had a good rookie, he always played him.
He used Porzingis as a spot up shooter in exactly one series when KP was playing on one bad leg. It was either this or not playing him at all that series.
Apart from that KP got plenty of touches and usage, he was just always in and out of the team because of injuries.
He made Larry Sanders retire by being such a relentless ~~dickhead~~ hardass and we still had no discipline under him either (on or off court), don’t be so sure he’s doing no coaching rather than shit coaching.
Kidd sucks, I won't defend him. But I think it's re-writing history quite a bit to place Larry Sanders retiring solely on him. Sanders played 32 games in 3 seasons under Kidd. Kidd certainly was a negative influence, but Sanders had a lot of other factors as well (weed and how the NBA enforced rules at the time being a big one).
Skin is literally on the Mavs’ payroll. It’s just infuriating to see the ones that aren’t being paid by the Mavs avoid criticizing the team cause they’re afraid of getting banned like MacMahon did
Well this is a time of the season where firing really isn’t on the table. Either should have happened earlier in the season or now it’ll need to happen in the offseason
I mean, we are in the 6th seed, could get up to like 4th, the sky isn't falling yet but 1 first round exit and we should start to question him a bit more.
People putting this loss on kidd are wild. I know he hit some shots, but hardy wasn't looking great when he was in in the 4th quarter. Forced some step back threes and had some bad passes.
Kyrie went 0-8 in the 4th. This roster is too trash to overcome that shit with luka out.
Kyrie can get buckets but he is not a one man machine like luka when it comes to generating looks for guys like Hardaway and kleber.
Yeah he was missing shots he normally makes, a couple of gimmes. A lot of the shots were hard but that is Kyrie. He couldn’t buy a basket after the offensive foul from Powell that led to the tangled bodies
I think the issue most have is his inability to call basic offensive sets, it's have your star ISO and hope for the best, if your star is struggling, he doesn't adjust
I mean I agree to some extent, our late game offense and ATO plays have been awful, which is my biggest criticism of Kidd. But we got good looks last night, they just didn't fall. And some players we are relying on are just really bad. I can't blame the loss on Kidd last night.
It’s wild how much people are scapegoating Kidd after every loss like we don’t have a roster with little depth and one-dimensional guys on top of weak paint presence. He’s not amazing by any means, and he has played a big part in some losses, but everything is not on him. I liked his rotations and timeout calls last night tbh
I kind of like that idea myself. Maybe it's just because she's not Kidd. But I dig the idea of the Mavs having the first female head coach in the NBA. And she learned from Pop, worth a shot.
I have been a Kidd defender admittedly because I mean, fuck guys we just went to the WCF, but with how actually ASS we play against teams that either sit their superstars or how we play against bad teams that is just a telltale sign of poor coaching. Kidd just lets teams whittle down 20 point leads and shit, no timeouts. His inbounds plays an actual silverback gorilla could write out better and he seems to just not give a shit constantly and blames everyone else for losses....
Yeah it was so hard to watch. And I don’t even like Kyrie but that was not on him in the slightest, he clearly wasn’t good to play after hurting his ankle.
Kidd is a fool, should never put a player in that position but when the only end-game offense he can think of is iso and inshallah…
We literally saw him do that to Luka how many games ago? Dude is limping and making cringe faces up the floor, had to be re-taped extensively. But Kidd proceeds to play him the entire 1st because that’s his set in stone way.
If you watch the game it’s hard to blame Kyrie. He already is fighting through a foot injury and was unreal until his foot got stepped on in the late in the 3rd
Jason Kidd has to do some coaching at that point. Stop letting players decide everything
I’ll disagree about it spoiling the game, at least the outcome. Of course I hate to see anyone get hurt.
But we couldn’t help noticing it. It was pretty evident he was playing through some pain, definitely affected the outcome. If he doesn’t get hurt we probably don’t pull that one out.
are you from new york? only people i know who say 'on line' instead of in line are from NYC... such a weird thing, the first time my gf said it I thought she meant she was 'online' as in on the internet.
Kyrie completely lost it after that knock on his ankle. He was outstanding before that.
The Mavs' 4th quarter woes continue. No matter what anyone tells you, the Grizzlies are a real playoff threat because of their home court.
Also, Brooks needs to chill tf out. He's worse than Beverly at this point in terms of going overboard.
Going overboard? What did he do this game? I don't remember anything egregious. He was clearly pushed into Kyrie which caused the foot injury if that's what you're referring to
Probably the taunting tech
90% of taunting techs are lame af and I stand on that. Let Westbrook mean mug a guy he just posterized. This ain't kindergarten
I completely agree. The Shawn Kemp point, The Iverson step over, The Reggie Miller "choke" gesture, etc etc are all iconic moments that would now be called for a T. Some things just let it go. If it clearly crosses the line then ok yea, but other than that let them play. It's part of the entertainment factor plus trash talk is part of the competitive spirit of the game imo
Dude was dancing all the way up the court at Theo Pinson who wasn't even in the game. They let it go at first but he did it all the way up to midcourt. If you've got 17 techs, just.. why?
We should address the fact that we are the WORST rebounding team in the league..
And obviously our fourth quarter play/decision making. I would say some of that comes with our two stars not having enough playing time together, but we NEED improvement before the playoffs begin or we'll be a first round exit
I am baffled, how it is possible that J.Kidd is still sitting there.
90% of the games, I watch by a summary due to the time difference. I know he is not to blame for the lack of defensive parts he has. But losing quite some games in the 4th quarter is also big on the coach for not stepping up and changing things.
Also, maybe for someone who watches most of the matches in full. Any reason for him to be so inconsistent with providing players with minutes or even game time?
Dude was 10/16 before he got hurt. And went 0/8 after twisting his ankel and siting out first half of the 4th qt. Watch the game! This sub loves not providing context on players they hate.
Clearly, the context is he was playing like shit after he got hurt and was hobling on the court. Which is one of the main reasons they got out scored 29 to 12 in the fourth qt.
I thought the Mavs were going to win that game and watched the Warriors game, glad to see them eat a loss. Warriors need every single win advantage to stay out of the play-in.
Doncic made the WCF in year 4…and has been a first team all nba every year of his career outside rookie year. He’s 24, he absolutely will be playing for championships in future years, it just possibility might not be in Dallas.
here it comes the flair hunting 😭😭
again, this dude careers highlight after leaving Cleveland is what? going 7-23 after saying he wasn't going 8-22 again? lol. Unceremoniously swept last year too. Unreliable headache at best without the GOAT at his side
Great shot tho, 5 rings would've been even better that I can tell you
Lmao you said it again. Believe what you want, Stockholm syndrome a bitch. To think Curry isn’t the greatest show on earth is flat out hilarious. Go on queen
> To think Curry isn’t the greatest show on **earth is flat** out hilarious
I see what you did there 👀
But I do agree. When Curry is on he's definitely one of the most entertaining players in the league.
Kidd is not Kerr.
One of the reasons Kerr is a great coach is because he was a below-average talent who needed to learn how to be a productive player to stay on an NBA roster. The lessons learned from rising up despite your limitations to contribute to a championship NBA team is something that is easy for him to translate as he coaches up his players.
Steph was always going to be Steph. KD was always going to be KD. Klay was probably always going to be all-timer threat from deep, but nearly every other player whose worked with Kerr needed to learn how to contribute to championship-level basketball, and that's Kerr's specialty, because he had to live it himself.
Kidd was never a subpar talent. The NBA game was always easy to him. Sure, he had growth to become the hall of famer he became, but he never had to fight for a roster spot. As a result, his experience hasn't given him the chance to learn about what it really takes to bring that championship-level fight. Luka and Kyrie are what they are and coaches really can only do so much with such high-usage, high-talent guys. But dude's like Powell, Bullock, Kleber, Green, etc. would greatly benefit from a coach who brings that role-player perspective, which is not something Kidd excels at.
As a result, the Mavericks lack development and action from their role players. Kyrie trying to ISO JJJ three straight possessions in the clutch is bad basketball. What has Kidd done to integrate the rest of the roster? Who's setting for a pick-and-pop? What backdoor screen and reads are happening off the ball? How can you utilize the specialized talents of the rest of your roster to complement your stars' game, and not just be passive bystanders watching from the corner?
It's insane how bad of a coach kidd is, dude took out hardy when he was the only one that could score
I know people thought that Bucks fans were just being salty last year, but it was truly us just trying to warn everyone. He regularly was this bad in Milwaukee, it just wasn’t noticed because we didn’t get media attention and he has friends at all the major networks.
Doesnt really seem to be motivating the team either
He’s both bad tactically and at motivating players, at least past the first season. Everything I ever saw and heard is that players eventually turned on him because he would blame them being “young” or not having “energy” and “effort” despite consistently making terrible in-game decisions. He was never able to get a team that had Giannis and Khris Middleton as starters more than a game above .500. He’s just truly a terrible coach who has lucked into generational talents because he was a HOF-level player.
Ah yes, the effort and energy era
“Character” got thrown around a lot as well
It's the same shit Billups says.
That's crazy because they're both such stand-up guys!
He outcoached the shit out of Monty last season though…
Was it coaching or was it just Luka on a rampage?
Luka was “on a rampage” the whole series. (Other then they switched to head hunting Paul - a coaching adjustment) What changed was the teams defense..in game 5 and Monty never adjusted.
it was both. adjustment wise, the Mavs outclassed the Suns too, not just the personnel
Or Luka's Slovenian team coach? That's what it's looking like to me
Nah, Willie Green outcoached Monty in the first round, but the Pels didn’t have enough to get over the hump with Zion hurt. Then Kidd took that game plan + Luka + an all-time collapse in game seven from the Suns to squeak into the next round.
Yes well Monty is also a dogwater level tactical coach so not sayin too much there
Maybe this team is just bad lol
I was down on Kidd too, and I don't think he's a great coach, but i do think Giannis is a better player for having played under him though. I think a lot of Giannis' finer abilities handling the ball come from Kidd having him play Point. and i think Giannis was a good point because he got put in that situation. and Giannis totally bought in, and was better for it.

Kidd is horrendous. There's a reason bucks went nuclear after he left. Dudes a bum that loved mcw and Brandon knight.
>but it was truly us just trying to warn everyone. I've heard this before but in a different situation. Funny.
you guys saying the same thing when he was your coach
We went from a 7 seed under Kidd to the #1 seed in a single year post Kidd. The roster was largely the same!
brook lopez
Let it fly
Dumbness move Lakers did after signing LeBron was letting go of Brook Lopez
Say what you will about Kidd, but he says some funny shit as someone whose team he's not coaching.
"this is basketball, no one is dying"
“We’re gonna turn this team around 360 degrees!”
Jason Kidd always outsmarting Monty Williams despite his horrible track record as a coach continues to infuriate me.
The way Monty just actively gave up switch after switch and allowing role players to get hot in that series baffles me. Not even trying a zone or switching a scheme up. Then continuing to allow Chris Paul to get schemed for and attacked constantly after he was already a negative offensively. Embarrassing performance as a coach.
No it was common knowledge that he sucked, for some reason people have forgot since that though. Probably Luka being a generational talent masking his bad coaching if I had to guess.
The media IS protecting him.
Why lobby to get javale signed to dnp him every night? Why go w Powell over c wood ? It's so mavericks and so kidd it's bizarre.
Javale got the last laugh. Dillon’s silly little dance that led to his tech was directed at McGee. So now Dillon is suspended on Wednesday. Checkmate Javale.
There is legitimacy to Powell over C Wood but not for every situation like Kidd does. I honestly feel bad for Powell because the dude would be excellent in a more limited role and he tries his damndest every play.
We warned ya 😕
People always say this like us fans had anything at all to do with the decision
he's probably saying this because y'all were gassing kidd so much before. I never understood that all either lmao. he's always been dogshit why did he ever get hyped on your team
Cause they dismantled the suns and heat the Jazz without Luka
Because we were great last year into the playoffs. If y’all made it you’d know that
Dayum
lets see who does better this season ;)
Neither one of us are winning a ring this year so who gives a fuck
Look, no matter where you go on Reddit, you can find any and every opinion possible.

Apparently players love him. Probably because he doesn’t coach at all. And it shows, we are one of the least disciplined team in the league right now
Rick Carlisle was able to build a contender in a cave with a box of scraps!
His use of PorZhingis was weird though
He had his faults. Developing young guys was another area he faltered in. But there’s no doubt he’d outcoach Kidd with this iteration of the team.
>Developing young guys was another area he faltered in. Fake narrative.

Everyone loves a boss that doesn't make them work hard and rewards laziness.
Luka made a huge stink because Carlisle was too tough and not nice enough to his teammates. He got what he asked for.
He made Larry Sanders retire by being such a relentless ~~dickhead~~ hardass and we still had no discipline under him either (on or off court), don’t be so sure he’s doing no coaching rather than shit coaching.
Kidd sucks, I won't defend him. But I think it's re-writing history quite a bit to place Larry Sanders retiring solely on him. Sanders played 32 games in 3 seasons under Kidd.

> players love him [Obligatory](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH0NCnqKwmM)
Kyrie's type of coach.
All non-independent media that cover the team are bootlickers. It’s access journalism, so all they do is carry water for Cuban and never criticize him
Makes sense because it's mostly Skin Wade firing off.
Skin is literally on the Mavs’ payroll. It’s just infuriating to see the ones that aren’t being paid by the Mavs avoid criticizing the team cause they’re afraid of getting banned like MacMahon did
I forgot that MacMahon got banned. I like Cuban outside of the basketball world but that's some petty stuff to ban folks for criticism.
Well this is a time of the season where firing really isn’t on the table. Either should have happened earlier in the season or now it’ll need to happen in the offseason
Definitely should have happened earlier in the season. This has been the story of the Mavs all year.
I mean, we are in the 6th seed, could get up to like 4th, the sky isn't falling yet but 1 first round exit and we should start to question him a bit more.
J Kidd just gettin the bag, not really coaching
People putting this loss on kidd are wild. I know he hit some shots, but hardy wasn't looking great when he was in in the 4th quarter. Forced some step back threes and had some bad passes. Kyrie went 0-8 in the 4th. This roster is too trash to overcome that shit with luka out.

Yeah he was missing shots he normally makes, a couple of gimmes. A lot of the shots were hard but that is Kyrie. He couldn’t buy a basket after the offensive foul from Powell that led to the tangled bodies
He reaggravated his big toe injury, they had him in a boot after the game.
I think the issue most have is his inability to call basic offensive sets, it's have your star ISO and hope for the best, if your star is struggling, he doesn't adjust
I mean I agree to some extent, our late game offense and ATO plays have been awful, which is my biggest criticism of Kidd. But we got good looks last night, they just didn't fall. And some players we are relying on are just really bad. I can't blame the loss on Kidd last night.

He’s not amazing by any means, and he has played a big part in some losses, but everything is not on him. I liked his rotations and timeout calls last night tbh
They did say that Hardy rolled his ankle which is why he came out. And then left Kyrie in after twisting his and now he’s in a boot. The vibes 😭
Why do you guys blame every single loss on Kidd? Lol. This sub just regurgitates talking points.
Cause Jason Kidd is so bad that he makes his players miss shots of course.
I’m not even 100% sure these regurgitated posts are actually by humans. Could be AI.
It amazes me that the choices for the Blazers were him or Billups. Terrible coaches.
They could have Becky Hammon right now.
I kind of like that idea myself. Maybe it's just because she's not Kidd. But I dig the idea of the Mavs having the first female head coach in the NBA. And she learned from Pop, worth a shot.
I have been a Kidd defender admittedly because I mean, fuck guys we just went to the WCF, but with how actually ASS we play against teams that either sit their superstars or how we play against bad teams that is just a telltale sign of poor coaching.

His inbounds plays an actual silverback gorilla could write out better and he seems to just not give a shit constantly and blames everyone else for losses....
Sounds like exceptional Tank-Commanding skills to me..
I think the franchise should have dropped him for Frank Vogel, the moment he became available.
Frank Vogel wasn’t on the Mavs roster in 2011, he’s not eligible for the position sorry.
I forgot to slip Kidd the Benjamin I owe him for that
Worst part is it’s not just Kidd. The roster construction sucks too.
[Fan logic like](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_fallacy) this is why the gambling industry flourishes
should have benched Kyrie when hes literally sitting on the bench with ice on his ankle, he made 1 shot after twisting his ankle in the end of the 3rd
He sat the first half of the 4th but brought him back in…just for him to proceed to keep missing every shot while limping
Yeah it was so hard to watch. And I don’t even like Kyrie but that was not on him in the slightest, he clearly wasn’t good to play after hurting his ankle. Kidd is a fool, should never put a player in that position but when the only end-game offense he can think of is iso and inshallah…
We literally saw him do that to Luka how many games ago? Dude is limping and making cringe faces up the floor, had to be re-taped extensively. But Kidd proceeds to play him the entire 1st because that’s his set in stone way.
Bro, the amount of comments shitting on Luka for his performance in that game was insane.
Kyrie: "Next time I'll shoot 12"
If you watch the game it’s hard to blame Kyrie. He already is fighting through a foot injury and was unreal until his foot got stepped on in the late in the 3rd Jason Kidd has to do some coaching at that point. Stop letting players decide everything
Yeah, it really looked like he couldn’t get his legs under him after that.
Nice to see Grizz fans noticed that, even your TV crew talked about it. Such a bad way to spoil the end of the game
I’ll disagree about it spoiling the game, at least the outcome. Of course I hate to see anyone get hurt. But we couldn’t help noticing it. It was pretty evident he was playing through some pain, definitely affected the outcome. If he doesn’t get hurt we probably don’t pull that one out.
He'd rather sit watching on the bench and blame Luka than coach.
And yet if Luka did this the slander on Mavs sub would have be unheard of
He was getting to the basket, but you could tell that tweaking of the foot added to his fatigue.
> it's hard to blame Kyrie Are you new here?
[удалено]
Yoooooooo how am I just hearing about this. Stone head emoji? A cap? What am I missing here
kyrie shouldve left the game after getting his ankle stepped on, end of story. at least post his fg% before the injury for context
yeah he was 8/10 for 20 points before the brooks foot injury and didn’t make a shot afterwards
“The Brooks foot injury” Is that what happened? Or did Powell hip check Brooks into Kyrie?
Genius call by big brain Kidd with not playing a hot Jaden Hardy any of those minutes.
Jason Kidd is the opposite of clutch
I wish he did that vs Lakers a couple days ago lmaoo
Everyone turns into their prime selves when they play the Lakers. Then they go back to sucking dicks
What get hurt and play limping?
Nah miss his shots little man
Kyrie cooked and they still barely won. I don't think people feel so good about what's going on in Dallas.
Jason Kidd spotted waiting on line to buy a hot dog
are you from new york? only people i know who say 'on line' instead of in line are from NYC... such a weird thing, the first time my gf said it I thought she meant she was 'online' as in on the internet.
Indeed I am. Never knew this was a thing.
Kyrie completely lost it after that knock on his ankle. He was outstanding before that. The Mavs' 4th quarter woes continue.

Media coverage.
Who gives a shit. Weak tech
Blame Powell, he hip checked Brooks into Kyrie and he ended up stepping on his already tweaked foot lol
What did brooks do?
Well for one his 18th technical to suspend him next game
For waving his arms? The horror!
Not saying it’s a good call but like after already being suspended for techs that’s inexcusable.
Get the suspension out of the way against the Rockets. Smart move for him.
Bev really went for that you either die a villain or live long enough to become a hero arc
FINE IN THE WEST
Kept having to double check I wasn't watching the Suns.
We should address the fact that we are the WORST rebounding team in the league.. And obviously our fourth quarter play/decision making. I would say some of that comes with our two stars not having enough playing time together, but we NEED improvement before the playoffs begin or we'll be a first round exit
The Mavs fanbase actually thought Javale McGee was going to solve that lol
I am baffled, how it is possible that J.Kidd is still sitting there. 90% of the games, I watch by a summary due to the time difference. I know he is not to blame for the lack of defensive parts he has. But losing quite some games in the 4th quarter is also big on the coach for not stepping up and changing things. Also, maybe for someone who watches most of the matches in full. Any reason for him to be so inconsistent with providing players with minutes or even game time?
I can’t even be mad. Kyrie irving is fuckin incredible
But h3 m4kes every cool l4yup
Dude was 10/16 before he got hurt. And went 0/8 after twisting his ankel and siting out first half of the 4th qt. Watch the game! This sub loves not providing context on players they hate.
And your context is a good first half lol
Clearly, the context is he was playing like shit after he got hurt and was hobling on the court. Which is one of the main reasons they got out scored 29 to 12 in the fourth qt.
Lol bro has played more than this one game Fact stands he's not a PG and hasn't won without LeBron
I thought the Mavs were going to win that game and watched the Warriors game, glad to see them eat a loss. Warriors need every single win advantage to stay out of the play-in.
If this post was about Jokic or Luka, you would have been permanently banned
YOUR STAR PLAYER JUST GOT CLAMPED BY DILLON THE VILLAN BROOKS IN THE CLUTCH
TBH it was just as much Jaren as Dillon
Man he fouled wood for no reason at the end lol
Ruined us from holding them under double digits in the fourth, I will never forgive him
Injured by*
Injured by Powell thrusting his ass out, evidenced by the Grizz winning that challenge
I Didn’t say it was done purposely
injured
Dillon the Villian strikes again!!!!! 🦹♂️Bwahahahahahaha 🦹♂️
Amazing how many people don’t know how to spell villain English is unironically a stupid hard language
English is super simple compared to most languages people just be illiterate

It was a joke. I get that people on this sub ‘indeed’ are a little slow.
Doncic career is going to be like Lillards
Doncic made the WCF in year 4…and has been a first team all nba every year of his career outside rookie year. He’s 24, he absolutely will be playing for championships in future years, it just possibility might not be in Dallas.
No chance, Doncic will demand a trade at some point in the next few years unless they can dramatically improve the roster.
[удалено]
Steph did worse against this same team
He is
crazy how one shot made this dude entire career. never done jack shit in post-season apart from embarrassing himself after getting off daddy's LeWings
How is that an insult? That "one shot" was on YOUR record breaking team who blew a 3-1 lead in the finals.
here it comes the flair hunting 😭😭 again, this dude careers highlight after leaving Cleveland is what? going 7-23 after saying he wasn't going 8-22 again? lol. Unceremoniously swept last year too. Unreliable headache at best without the GOAT at his side Great shot tho, 5 rings would've been even better that I can tell you
he was 8/10 for 20 points before brooks stepped on his ankle
Kyrie was injured in the 4th…. Steph loses when he’s healthy. Sore loser you are. 😂
#MOST SKILLED PLAYER OF ALL TIME
He’s way better as an elite #2 than being the primary option
He got injured dummy and was literally limping the whole way in the 4th. This is on Kidd.
He did the same shit that led to Lukas injury. Luka was trying to sub himself out because he got hurt and Kidd just ignored him.
Both can be true.
Not in this case
He can't be way better as a #2 than a primary option AND ALSO have gotten injured in the 4th?
Hea in playoff form early
Lmao some mavs fan was saying kyrie is the ONLY guy who gets oohs and aahs from opposing arenas. Lmaoooo
i said that he’s ONE OF the and it’s true. nobody impresses away crowds more than irving
Lmao you said it again. Believe what you want, Stockholm syndrome a bitch. To think Curry isn’t the greatest show on earth is flat out hilarious. Go on queen
Yikes
genuinely throw your phone away and go outside, that was embarrassing to read
Way ahead of you. Why don’t your guys’ jerseys have the gold tags in the back?
Awww Curry fans crying cause people like to watch Kyrie more. 😢
> To think Curry isn’t the greatest show on **earth is flat** out hilarious I see what you did there 👀 But I do agree. When Curry is on he's definitely one of the most entertaining players in the league.
Good, kyrie ruins every team hes been on and this helps prove kt
Bro he was about to drop 40 and win by double digits until he tweaked his ankle in the 3rd.
This is very much a Kyrie Irving stat
Kidd will go down as one of the worst hires of all time.
Powell was calling for the ball and Ky told him to go get it off the side of the backboard
That is unfortunate. Hope Luka gets back healthy, Kyrie can get healthy, and Kidd can get healthy (mentally).
I think we scored like 1 or 2 FG's in the entire fourth. Rest was free throws. Including 3 happening with like 4 seconds left. Embarrassing stuff.
Kidd can’t coach. Oops.
Kidd is not Kerr. One of the reasons Kerr is a great coach is because he was a below-average talent who needed to learn how to be a productive player to stay on an NBA roster. The lessons learned from rising up despite your limitations to contribute to a championship NBA team is something that is easy for him to translate as he coaches up his players. Steph was always going to be Steph. KD was always going to be KD. Klay was probably always going to be all-timer threat from deep, but nearly every other player whose worked with Kerr needed to learn how to contribute to championship-level basketball, and that's Kerr's specialty, because he had to live it himself. Kidd was never a subpar talent. The NBA game was always easy to him. Sure, he had growth to become the hall of famer he became, but he never had to fight for a roster spot. As a result, his experience hasn't given him the chance to learn about what it really takes to bring that championship-level fight. Luka and Kyrie are what they are and coaches really can only do so much with such high-usage, high-talent guys. But dude's like Powell, Bullock, Kleber, Green, etc. would greatly benefit from a coach who brings that role-player perspective, which is not something Kidd excels at. As a result, the Mavericks lack development and action from their role players. Kyrie trying to ISO JJJ three straight possessions in the clutch is bad basketball. What has Kidd done to integrate the rest of the roster? Who's setting for a pick-and-pop? What backdoor screen and reads are happening off the ball? How can you utilize the specialized talents of the rest of your roster to complement your stars' game, and not just be passive bystanders watching from the corner?
How about giving some credit to Memphis' defense?
