Marcus Smart is killing them.

This will be one of the most embarrassing losses of the season. This team is not consistent.

It's a top-heavy team with basically Luka/Kyrie going 1 on 1 with THJ getting the leftovers with his streaky shooting. Some nights, both are on fire and it works (like vs. Minnesota). But other nights, it can look very ugly. Maybe that changes with Exum starting with them but until then, it's always going to be 2 on 5 basketball

You love to pop into the game thread with criticisms of the team when they’re losing. It’s like clockwork. But, do you ever jump in with praise when they’re winning?

Luka has been bad tonight. If hurt, let him rest. Disappointing when your best player doesn’t set the tone though.

Smart working everyone tonight. Especially Josh. Back on the to to train with Josh again

Smart has a dislocated finger. He might be done for the night.

If that's the case, this probably just became a win.

Smallest lineup of the season. Let’s see if it kickstarts the offense.

Not really

Mavs getting it good. No size and Grizz playing with a lot more energy. Mavs had too many games with this type of performance. Not good.

We have a Grant Williams problem too. He is limping around out there as well. Maybe give him two weeks off to get healthy. He is not in a good place right now.

I just don’t know how a 52 win western conference finalists with a GOAT level player entering his prime can fall to this level.

If the Mavs can't replace the coach, just make a trade for someone bigger than GW.

That was 2 years ago. Things change.

JKidd needs to assert some authority over this unprofessional half assing team and sit them all in the ;th quarter. See if the kids can play with some effort and make headway. It’s an opportunity to finally have some accountability.

Let’s sit Luka. His body language is terrible out there. I would probably sit Kyrie after 4 minutes if they don’t make a run.

Holmes must really suck to not Theo him out there with Tillman looking like Shaq oout there.

LOL DP.

Exactly. And it’s practically unprecedented to go in that direction with the game’s best player entering his prime. Almost always, a team in the Mav’s position rises up.

Grizzlies turning it over, still up by 17.

so they CAN play hard! why only now

Luka hurt

Dwight and Seth aren’t NBA players

THJ classic pre TDL value tank

Josh Green getting BARBECUED on defense

Felon Head Coach

Let the kids play. They can’t be any worse.
