Thanks RB.
Thanks Kidd.

We need to introduce a Wes Matthews award for the biggest choke or tank job in a loss. I nominate Reggie.

He’s not playing good defense and he’s not hitting shots. Not sure why he’s out there.

[BolsDamols]

Death. Taxes. Boucher dominating the Mavs.

Return of Maxi has been huge. One of the few bright spots.

Josh Green is an amazing foul specialist.

Blow this team up.

[dirkfansince1998]

DFS handling or passing the ball. The gift that keeps on giving.

[KillerLeft]

Yikes, Kleber. Just dunk that first one, for crying out loud.

[IamDougieFresh]

The last time things felt this hopeless was the stretch Luka missed last year.

[Kammrath]

We have seen this script before.....Wood will get benched. Kidd will the ride the unholy-trinity of SD/DFS/RB and the team will lose. 

[BolsDamols]

Brunson is not walking through that door folks

[IamDougieFresh]

Place Mr. Kidd under arrest for fraud.

Trade everyone and start over.

Never seen a team with so many loses to teams missing their stars.
Must be a record.

I just wish he won't pass up open shots. take them and live with the results..not like his teammates are making them anyway

Yeah, they gave him an open lane to the rim on the last possession and he had no idea what to do. Super frustrating. 

He did do some good things tonight though.

And of course not a single off-the-ball postup in the second half for Luka

Two of Bullock's open threes in the 4th were the result of Maxi passing up an open wing three.  And if you want to make fun of that late Dorian turnover, that's probably on Maxi there and probably should have never gotten to that point as he turned down an open lane earlier in the possession.  Way too timid.

[dirkfansince1998]

To be fair. Mavs played way better with Powell or Kleber at center. Wood was bad. He had a quick scoring run in the 2nd half and Kidd probably should have gone with the hot hand but he also was a disaster on the defensive board. Not sure if he had one successful boxout in the entire game.
If he wanted to make Kidd´s case about winning plays, rotations and fundamentals he couldn´t have done a better job.

They love the 3 ball.
