GAME 16: DEN (10-6) @ DAL (9-7) | 97-98 loss (Kidd still tanking for Victor)

[donzingis38]

So.... we got Celtics, Raptors/Bucks (back to back), Warriors, Pistons, Knicks next.

They could go 1-5 for these next 6 games

Get your medications ready

McGee getting 11 minutes and Wood 17 minutes is a joke. It feels like I am living in some alternate universe.

I see Thomas Bryant is back for the Lakers. Another minimum guy that we should have signed instead of McGee.

Luka was taking bone headed shots with RC too. What happened to the play calling then?  Maybe it is not the coach and Luka knowing his clout doesn’t listen. 

Who is going to step up and say something?  He knows he controls the organization.

So we're now absolving Kidd and it's all Luka's fault.
Got it.

It might be exactly what the leadership and front office (those higher than Kidd) need to see happen.

[SwisherPrice]

MBT will package Wood and Green in a trade to get Jae Crowder probably. Gotta load up on the one-dimensional 3 and D vets

[StrandedOnBeauboisHill]

I can’t get the image of Luka sitting on the floor and letting a 6-0 run happen in the third quarter out of my head. 

Gave up another 5 on 4 possession complaining two plays later.

Don´t worry. We are a veteran club with a strong winning culture. Joel will pull him aside and mentor him.

Just like you absolved Luka. It works both ways. Plus you are being disingenuous of you ignore that Luka took plenty bad shots under RC.

Not really, I'm not a Luka fan, although I love Luka.
I'm one of those calling him fat last season, and I have been very vocal of his step back 3s.

And once again, you're making this about me.
Not cool man.

[dynamicalVoid]

No poll to get Josh his Dirkie?

Nothing about you but generallly getting tired of this board railing about the coach. Kidd can be let go right now and I will be fine with it. Nothing is changing here until Cuban is gone. Luka has his faults but even with him, I am not calling him out anymore until there is better talent around him or seasoned veterans with great credibility.

[MrGoat]

Refs fucked us but there was still no excuse for that. Either Dinwiddie or Bullock needs to be sent to the bench, maybe even DFS. They were awful. Only 17 minutes for Wood was inexcusable too

[SwisherPrice]

THJ - 0/9
DFS - 1/5
Bullock - 1/5

Dinwiddie also had a terrible game but he's been good overall this season. This would have been a Nuggets blowout win if not for Green and Bertans shooting.

Alright.
It's just you're wording this wrong. I didn't ignore Luka's bad plays under RC, not in this recent post at least. There's has been plenty of bad plays Luka did under RC and Luka should have gone better by now. But there he goes again.

Just like you absolved Luka. It works both ways. Plus you are being disingenuous of you ignore that Luka took plenty bad shots under RC.

But I get it, I'm throwing everything at Kidd and THJ and someone needs to stop me if I'm crossing the line between objectivity and hate (although hate is a strong word for this).

I hope we can argue without getting too, you know.. this is just basketball afterall.

I am not talking about you. Chill out. My post was pretty calm and blames one person.  Cuban.

Dinwiddie has been terrible this season, don't let his 3p% fool you. He stalls the offense too much and kills the team rhythm, just look at his net rating. He's the weakest link in the starting lineup, we just just bench him to stagger him with Luka

[BolsDamols]

He's the weakest link in the starting lineup,

This is jus sad considering how bad DFS and Bullock have been - starting line up is truly terrible.

[Kammrath]

how bad DFS and Bullock have been

SOOOOO bad, hard to overstate.

[SwisherPrice]

The last shot was so bad. Kidd's "offense" is a joke. Remember what the Kings were able to draw up against the Mavs last season with pretty much the same amount of time and the same spot on the floor?

[BolsDamols]

the Kings

Don't look now, but them Kings now have a better record than the Mavs
