2023 - 2024 Dallas Mavericks Season Thread - I'm watching, just like you guys

['stache 21729]

I hope so but not feeling it at all. I think Luka is going to get slower and slower with his injury and the mentality after having the series all but sewn up and blowing it in a matter of minutes because of free throws might be too much to overcome. When your MVP candidate is so deadlegged he misses a free throw that hands the opponent the game, I just don't see coming back from something like that, especially on the road against the 1 seed. Just unbelievable, within a matter of minutes, literally, from such a high to such a low, I'm still struggling with it as a fan, can't imagine how it feels for the players.

I think Luka saw jokic control the game last night and he shows how dominant he is tonight.

[ITHorn 795]

I agree. I also think we start fast with a young OKC team struggling to get up after a big win. 

[RexWilson 1341]

The horn in the OKC arena sounds weird. 

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

What an alley oop

[RexWilson 1341]

Great start for DJJ. If Hardy is in I prefer him attacking the rim instead of corner 3. 

[Sweetnsourpoke 164]

The Mavs seem quite good at that alley oop thing 

[dcar00 14002]

christ get Green and THJ out of there.  holy moly WNBA game breaking out.

[RexWilson 1341]

THJ please have a seat on the bench. 

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

I know we’re trying to steal some minutes of rest but Green and Hardaway are denting the backboard out there. 

[Dbeasy 14931]

Can’t stand Hardaway. Biggest waste of $17m

[dcar00 14002]

what do you want from Irving and Doncic?

Kidd - "Be aggressive but don't force anything, let the game come to you"

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

These alley oops are next level

We needed that THJ

[Ghost of Shag 2573]

This series would be over if Doncic had two legs.

[Sweetnsourpoke 164]

Dallas came to play tonight. Don't see the Mavs losing this one. 

[RexWilson 1341]

Chet’s knees are not going to hold up for a long career

Get your reverse jinx out of here. 

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

Holmgren can’t guard our centers in the post. 

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

Please Josh Green. 

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

Ugly ass end to the quarter. 

[RexWilson 1341]

Green……woof

Still a double digit lead. Sitting okay right now. Need Kyrie and or THJ to get on a heater. 

[Sweetnsourpoke 164]

Doncic 7-10 FG, 2-4 from 3, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, no fouls, +10. Pretty solid first half for a guy on disability. 

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

What the hell was that turnover. Jesus

[RexWilson 1341]

I’d like to see a little more hustle for the rebounds. 

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

Good d this quarter

[dcar00 14002]

Luka needs to quit trying to draw fouls

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

OKC been bricking open 3’s all night

Mavs have shot 2 free throws all night. Chances are Luka’s been fouled once or twice.

I know.  he needs to just go and shoot.  He does the stop/back up/try to back into someone thing in the lane.  just go and shoot.  beat them by making shots and quit worrying about trying to draw fouls.  Because of Cubes the Mavs are always going to have to beat the officials too.

on cue the OKC nails a 3.

[gsoda3 3214]

Hardy and hardaway should never ever be on the court at the same time. Add green in there and it's exponentially bad. I don't understand that lineup. Green, hardaway, Hardy, lively, Kyrie. What???

For how talented he is PJ has shockingly low situational IQ

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

Fuck off ref

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

Kyrie needs to take over. There you go!

[dcar00 14002]

ha ha.  ref show with big fuck you to Cubes.

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

FUCK OFF REF

[bigcigar 1161]

Refs really upping the bullshit 

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

I know I tune in to watch the refs call offensive fouls on screens. Riveting. 

[RexWilson 1341]

 

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

Bang!

[RexWilson 1341]

I don’t understand how Dort doesn’t get called for more fouls.

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

somehow THJ is +12 in 9 minutes tonight

[ITHorn 795]

Dort getting away with constant hacking and still getting cooked by Luka is very amusing.  

[gsoda3 3214]

PJ with foul #4 and then a travel. Come on man

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

Let’s all least get shots off on the offensive end. Lazy turnovers ain’t it with a big lead. 
 

fucking hell THJ. 

[gsoda3 3214]

somehow THJ is +12 in 9 minutes tonight

He's trying to lose it all rn

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

Why is Hardaway in the game right now? This isn’t February against the Kings. He looks like a make a wish kid.

Just went -8 in 2 minutes

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

For fucks sake

[Firemans4Horn 17773]

Oh yes, missed free throws. I know this version of the Mavs. 

[Tommy Shelby 188]

They are going to give this one away also. Mavs = Lakers

[Sweetnsourpoke 164]

No, they aren't
