it would have been easier to just make a list of players who're available tonight tbh.

Starting at PG tonight: Jason Kidd.

That’s actually hilarious. I’m going to do that next time.

We’d probably still be better off if Kidd suited up tonight vs. Brandon Williams or whoever is going to play.

I'm working on lining up my excuses as to why I won't be able to walk into the bedroom (the only TV able to use the MavsTV app) and watch the game. Ham-string? Twisted ankle? Disinterest? Not able to withstand the punishment? Something.

This is a tough watch.

Omax not even looking like an NBA player in games like these might be one of the most depressing things of this week. And that’s saying something

He rarely looks like an NBA player.

He and Hardy are the most disapppointed basketball stuffs of the season.

I'm sorry Jason, let Kyrie plays 40 minutes a game is just a suicide and you know it.
But i understand why you can't say that.

[david75090]

Not an unexpected outcome.

[Nowitzki Way]

No need to debate if this team should tank or not. They couldn't win if they tried.

It would still be fun to make the play-in.  Get 5 more wins, and it is possible.

I've been beating that drum since day one, but I digress...

I got enamored with his build which reminds me a lot of one of my favorite players ever, but O'Max seems to lack any feel for the game.

I am not watching, but Omax would be my pet project if I was on the coaching staff. He should get minutes.

He just has no idea how to play. Because of this he is really slow to react. He looks confused on defense and offense. He consistently leaves open places to wonder into traffic. When he does catch the ball at the three point line, his body and feet are all over the place that it is a miracle he ever makes a shot. You need to see if you can get him comfortable and see if he can play with feel. I feel like he is way to mechanical on the court. He runs to a spot when we get the ball and his head is not on a swivel. He needs to play by feel. I am not sure if this is because of his lack of knowing how to play or if he gets confused, but they need to turn loose the beast where he is the guy who just does things. And does them well.

At the moment, I don't think he has it. He plays really hard though and he is a great kid. Then he has 2-3 moments a game where you see him do something and you say "wow". Those are the exceptions though and not reality. It would be a shame to not highlight him with minutes and see if you can release something in this lost season.

The development would certainly bolster the organic tanking prospect.
