Lolololol….NOW they have DJJ in with Kleber AND Gafford.
What is Kidd thinking???
Good move bringing Exum in for DJJ, but I’d have preferred either Kleber or Gafford come out.
More bad communication on defense. One player thought they were switching, the other didn’t. Wide open corner three.

Crowd booing Tim at home after that last shot
Ref bias may be too much for us to overcome

Good Gafford boxout on one end, great finish (from a Hardaway pass) on the other.
RE: Game 62: Indiana Pacers (34-28) vs. Dallas Mavericks (34-27) - GATA - 03-05-2024
Gafford came to play. Hardaway and Kyrie did not
RE: Game 62: Indiana Pacers (34-28) vs. Dallas Mavericks (34-27) - GATA - 03-05-2024
Luka about to go wild. His teammates aren’t hitting anything
This is the best lineup. Green and Maxi both doing good things

I’m sorry. I know I am coming off like a Gafford hater and that is not my intention.
But literally, the second he goes out and is replaced by Jones, moving Kleber to center, the team immediately starts to play faster and better.

It’s effective for sure. But maxi can’t play 48 minutes, heck he probably shouldn’t be playing more than 20 minutes, with his injury history. Gafford had more positive possessions than negative and Lively was getting worked on defense but that’s who we have to work with.

Josh Green purposely makes contact with the ball carrier leading to easy foul calls.
Bad coaching, bad technique or both.

He has had a very bad stretch since re-entering the game in the second quarter.

Rebounding is killing us
RE: Game 62: Indiana Pacers (34-28) vs. Dallas Mavericks (34-27) - KillerLeft - 03-05-2024
Derek lively just held up much better than I ever could have imagined against Halliburton an iso situation… Unfortunately, the defensive scheme forced him to be the one to close out to the shooter above the break, after all of that effort.
RE: Game 62: Indiana Pacers (34-28) vs. Dallas Mavericks (34-27) - Chicagojk - 03-05-2024
Indy is tough to guard but Mavs giving no resistance. I mean what is this. One pass to a wide open corner three?

Idk if it’s just me but Maxi doesn’t look like he did a week ago… not ideal for the Mavs going forward if he’s not going to be great Maxi.
RE: Game 62: Indiana Pacers (34-28) vs. Dallas Mavericks (34-27) - KillerLeft - 03-05-2024
One of these teams has a real coach, and the other one has Jason Kidd. That’s the difference.
RE: Game 62: Indiana Pacers (34-28) vs. Dallas Mavericks (34-27) - GATA - 03-05-2024
This game is over. There is not one single reason not to fire Kidd tonight. The Bucks were proactive despite being much better than us

You have to admit that was a good timeout which is rare.

This team freaking sucks. God damn it. I really thought we have the pieces to contend. Powell isn't even playing anymore.

Maybe he should be.

Well, Rick’s defense just gave up 70 in the first half.

Sure, but they move the ball, they have systems on both ends. He’s a professional, and there are so many indications of his superiority relative to Kidd. It’s honestly not even an interesting comparison.
