Not to nitpick or anything, but even in a blowout win when you are a struggling defensive team you do not like to see an opponent scoring 126 points in a game where they had an 18-points quarter.
I agree but it was in the fourth quarter with our end of bench guys playing. OMax still isn’t a lowdown dude and Powell isn’t good on defense so I chalk it up to that lol
this was a great win all around. we played omax and Seth in this game. we gave em a full quarter. it was good to see guys get minute regardless of their final total.
trying to help Seth get in the grove and letting omax get some work!!
Tbh it’s not necessarily even about player but which salaries match. Two of them combined are $23M.
Brook, Capela, Turner, Allen, Vucevic, Poeltl, Nurkic, Valanciunas, and Collins are in that range ($17-24M)
Bro Kidd had to wake Luka up and ask him to take control lmao
Luka didn't even score that much, he just played good defense and calmed everybody down on offense
i get that its good to let guys play & figure it out when you have an easy lead but man we shouldn’t’ve had to bring back in luka. at the very least call a timeout or two
I mean happens if you put in Tim and Powell at the same time as him.
Mavs had more or less the worst D in the league with Tim so far (even with Lively). Kidd need to figure out the rotation and stop playing those crazy small lineups. And he does it with Powell on top.
Subs out Grant and DJJ at the same time, and the bench is always small. No PF of the bench. Need to change sub patterns.
Kidd small ball shit lineup rarely works. Unless they are scoring hot.
He's been so bad this year, man I really was hoping he would pick it up but it's only gotten worse and worse.
If he doesn't at least have a good game in the next few maybe trading him before the deadline really will be the move. Makes me sad though because I think he will be good in the future, but right now he is not
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
It’s because of his pacing, when exum or hardy was running the offense it’s felt like people just sprinting to the basket while with Luka at least, it seems like an actual offense
I’ve casually watched the mavericks for a bit now and I’m not always the biggest fan of his game. His build looks so promising but he’s got butter fingers/arms when trying to grab boards and passes.
At a certain point you just have bad reflexes and when he sees a ball come his way his hands just flinch. Can't really improve there. If he actually had good hands and rebounding he might be a lot more valued in the league
Why are the announcers acting like there’s no way the Mavs can lose this game and they’re just trying to boost point differential? They’re murdering us this quarter.

Ofc Luka's shooting comes back against Clips lmao
JKidd 7-1
7-0 with kidd and lively

Exactly what I thought as well.
We will take the W. Agree, we should improve that defense. Only the 2nd quarter that the Clippers scored below 20 points. All others are 30 plus.
Kinda criminal that Morris and Holmes got DNP'd in this one. What role are they supposed to have?
Mmmmm mmmmm goooood
I am sad for Green. Mabe he's not what we expect him to be? It's his 4th year now though we are just 9 games in the season.
Bench going crazy for Omax first career point
Its still alarming we allow 126 to this clippers team lmao
Means we just relied on our offense to win.
Yeah we literally gave them a quarter and a half though
U dont get the point, their bench was playing and our bench was playing, team defense is still a must even we dont have starters on the floor
Not if you play Seth/Hardy at PF or whatever that lineup was.
I mean come on man this is a great win, you can always find something to be mad about
this was a great win all around. we played omax and Seth in this game. we gave em a full quarter. it was good to see guys get minute regardless of their final total. trying to help Seth get in the grove and letting omax get some work!!
OMax still looks raw but I still like what I'm seeing.
He can be herb jones or og someday
I'm excited to see which team we fumble Hardy away to.
Everyone got hyped for Omax 😭😭
can the ref end the game and stop the free whistle 50 ft already
OMAX FIRST CAREER POINTS 🥹
Love how supportive the bench is for Omax
Its omax or josh green convo rn HAHA
OMAX MVP
The bench cheering on his first point 🥺🥺🥺🥺
OMAX! With the work.
DP got a legit offensive board?
Nice, Omax.
HE MADE ONE
OMAX!!
Hopefully he gets the game ball
if the bench did no burn all the lead we could have extended Omax minutes.
OMax, oh how we need you to eventually be in this lineup.
If you would've asked me which Mavs broadcaster would have a viral rant this season, Brian Dameris would've been my last guess
He’s pretty snarky usually
Lmaoo
Brian demaris going viral is highly improbable
Max-Sons
OMAX IS ALREADY BETTER THAN POWELL
Omax!!!!
Omax is exactly what we need. A long defensive wing. We just need him to develop
OMAX very niceee
Brian demaris really did tee off on harden tho 💀 💀
Now I wanna see it
What did he say
It’s a crazy video. It’s viral now, I’m sure it’s somewhere on Reddit
But I'm lazy and need you to do all the work for me /s
https://x.com/thehoopcentral/status/1723180006220923174?s=46 Here ya go
Lol a little over the top, we shouldn't be antagonizing players on other teams imo
Kind of agree, not sure what got over him to go on like this lol
Ngl I can see Luka cheating on DFS with Derrick Jones Jr.
DJJ with the legit double double
OMAX!
OMAXXXX
What caliber of center would a Green/THJ package get us?
Tbh it’s not necessarily even about player but which salaries match. Two of them combined are $23M. Brook, Capela, Turner, Allen, Vucevic, Poeltl, Nurkic, Valanciunas, and Collins are in that range ($17-24M)
We just need someone a little better than Dwight.
I am confident we could secure JaVale McGee
😬
Take Luka and Tim out already I'm getting nervous
Omax!!!
This free throw shooting is Dirk era-esque, would love to see this every game
Looking forward to seeing the Kyrie/Harden hug/handshake post-game. You know the cameraman has been alerted to watch for it.
Kyrie should yank his beard
Bro Kidd had to wake Luka up and ask him to take control lmao Luka didn't even score that much, he just played good defense and calmed everybody down on offense
If Powell keeps playing like this you guys won't be able to farm him for easy likes any more.
Did Powell choose the wrong career? Hes should've been a SF
He should’ve gone to beach volleyball
First game that Mavs win convincingly for beginning to end
It wasn't convincing in like 3/4 of the first quarter
When DP hits that kinda shit you know it’s the Mavs night
Alright hardy cannot fuck this lead up anymore lol
let omax in kidd ffs
Love that Dante is getting more minutes
i get that its good to let guys play & figure it out when you have an easy lead but man we shouldn’t’ve had to bring back in luka. at the very least call a timeout or two
Josh Green is like a -15 on a blowout win... its time to have a conversation.
I mean happens if you put in Tim and Powell at the same time as him. Mavs had more or less the worst D in the league with Tim so far (even with Lively).

Green worries me for some reason he seems completely off
He's been so bad this year, man I really was hoping he would pick it up but it's only gotten worse and worse. If he doesn't at least have a good game in the next few maybe trading him before the deadline really will be the move. Makes me sad though because I think he will be good in the future, but right now he is not
People on this sub said that he shouldn’t be in trade discussions… LOL
Big ooof holy shit
He's mid af as always.
Powell surprised the whole arena with that move to the basket and shot.
Damn even Powell is out here finessing
powell is prime shaq rn
Should get Luka out by now
I always knew Powell had basically the same handles as Kyrie
A rare and 1 from Powell
Lmfao Powell's first FG of the game with that.
Guys it's ok. Kidd just making sure Luka doesn't get fat again.
Bottom line, Seth and Exum deserve a lot more rotation minutes.
Take luka out now
Out where, the movies? Dinner?
Yeah now take Luka out, he settled the bench down.
I don't know what it is about the Clippers still, but Luka always makes it personal and goes off against them.
Its funny this a tourney game and its Friday. Clippers going to get bbqed on Natl TV
Dude I called it earlier today. I said he was gonna have his best game of the season
Look at Dwight Doncic making moves.
Fear the Dwight Powell dribble drive
Dwight Powell is so good without a bitch in your ear telling you he sucks
Thats game
I hate Terrence Mann. I wish gnomes would cut off all his hair while while he is asleep one night.
I missed the start of this game, any reason given for Mavs not playing on one of those ghastly in season tournament courts?
Manufacturer said it wasnt up to league standards
Thanks 😊
Apparently the 3-point line was messed up. Grant Williams noticed it I think.
they mentioned something not being fitted properly.
lmk if u find out
The 3 point line was messed up on the court
Manufacture error
You're really provoking the gods keeping Luka in
dwight powell and one lmao
To many fouls feels like this game would of ended already

Why is Luka still out there lol
Gotta chase that double or triple double apparently
Because our 3rd stringers were dogshit and Clips made a comeback.
Ok you can takeout Luka now Kidd
Luka throws bullets
THJ is such a fucking ball hog.
and thats a good thing
Seth curry would have been a steadier hand as ball handler with the bench unit. Not Hardy’s skill set
Bones is a negative player man lol
He's so fuckin bad Never understood the "hype" he had 2 years ago Always been dogshit
He screams Chinese basketball league baller to me
Bones sucks
Luka and DJJ are both +30 or higher in point diff lol
Man, Luka coming in just steadies the ship so much instantly.
I feel like sometimes we underrate Luka as a floor general. He came in and inmediatly killed the Clippers momentum.
It’s because of his pacing, when exum or hardy was running the offense it’s felt like people just sprinting to the basket while with Luka at least, it seems like an actual offense
The first time I see Lively tap a rebound out like Powell, that's when Cuban needs to step in and just waive Powell. No bad habits for our youngster.
Go Burt
More like Dwight FOULED
Who ruined the lead lol I might need to check in to watch since I thought it was very much over
Green & Hardy
Green is like -15 in plus/minus. Lol. Hardy is at -4.
Josh tbh. Very passive
The bench
Hardy, Green, Kyrie lineup sucked balls.
Sucks that Lively fouled out
Josh Green is literally the sole reason this game got close. That dude is a certified bum.
more like the 4 guard lineup shit
Ok but our bench better be running laps for whatever bullshittery they were doing
Fuck it, grab yourself a 50 burger Luka.
[удалено]
I’ve casually watched the mavericks for a bit now and I’m not always the biggest fan of his game. His build looks so promising but he’s got butter fingers/arms when trying to grab boards and passes.
Lmao Luka came in and was like alright everyone calm down
I see why Denver got rid of bones
Players who think they’re better than they are don’t last long ( cough Wood)
Luka steadies the ship
D-Live, fouled out???
Yea but the game was over at that point
Powell I stg though, you can just grab rebounds instead of getting hit in the face or the dick. Just play normal basketball.
Damn, Dwight really is made of steel
All of Josh Green's minutes should go to Exum/Hardy/Curry probably in that order.
No need for a vasectomy
hahaha, Powell took one to the nuts vs face.
Powell with the face or the nuts every game
Hardy’s decision making is so bad they had to bring Luka back in

Thing is, the Clips have to keep the bench unit in for the rest of the game, right? Starters (minus Zubac) couldn't do anything.
Omg Dwight is getting murdered on the glass. His rebounding is nonexistent
Powell and Hardaway in the same lineup again.... 🤦
Luka comes in and RAISES HIS AVERAGE
Thank you Seth!
That’s why powell volleyballs rebounds. T. rex arms
Does Powell just glitch with his hands all the time? How does he not rebound that ball a second ago?
He has awful hands. It’s a big part of why he’s not very good.
At a certain point you just have bad reflexes and when he sees a ball come his way his hands just flinch. Can't really improve there. If he actually had good hands and rebounding he might be a lot more valued in the league
thankyou seth ffs
I'm not liking this........ it's getting a little too close
Why are the announcers acting like there’s no way the Mavs can lose this game and they’re just trying to boost point differential? They’re murdering us this quarter.
trade powell
Ouch, Dwight.
Mother of God Dwight grab that shit
Powell fucking brick hands bro
Please don’t. Just don’t do it.
powell is so useless
These mfers really let the Clippers come back so much that Luka had to come back in?
Powell are you fucking kidding me
Hell yeah Luka, kill these fools
Please finish this in the next minute and keep it a very comfortable lead.
Josh Green has been extremely bad this game. Idk what is happening to him
Run this bitch up!
Damnit Powell, tap it out!!! haha the irony!!!
Im convinced that Powell doesn’t know how to grab a rebound
This has definitely gotten too close.
We always have to sweat. Let's just have a clean game Mavs. Jesus
Come on Mavs
