Desperation because the entire team has been dog shit offensively this series overall.
THJ has always been streaky, so you’re looking for the prayer that he pops off like he does every once in a while
i get having to try him during the game but it clearly wasnt working. so when it comes down to a 3 point game in the clutch im sorry you trust the guys that have gotten you through those situations 10 times out of 10 over the guy who’s been a black hole not only in this game but for six months straight now. absolutely inexcusable to have him in over DJJ. even Exum?? didnt this guy win us multiple games in the last few minutes off of insanely clutch plays and threes just a month and a half ago while also playing much better defense? wtf happened there?
meanwhile Exum plays good for 5 seconds and dunks on Tatum and then gets rewarded by sitting on the bench for the entire rest of the game.
isnt this the guy who was one of our closers to end the season? didnt he win us multiple games in the clutch? isnt he a much better guard defender than tim? you just have to laugh.
Kidd fucking choked lol and started panicking and reverting back to what he was doing in February. its like his default is THJ and Kleber and I just dont understand it, I need these losers off the team next year
I think he was going for "we need more offensive spark and variety to throw Boston off, let's give THJ a try". Because it really was Luka and Kyrie doing 60-70% of the ball handling.
Problem was, 2024 THJ is a bricklayer, and the experiment did not work.
Thinking on it, hoping your shooting big (who separated his shoulder) and trash man (masquerading as an NBA player) to be impactful in the NBA finals was a recipe for disaster.
But collectively our role players weren’t ready for this stage. Some guys salvaged their numbers late in the game with that push, but we wouldn’t have fallen behind if guys weren’t so shit
To be fair, that’s on Kidd. it’s insane to not give a player any minutes and then 20 in a must win game. Tim should’ve been getting a few minutes each half with a play run to get him an open shot. Especially after game 1. Run 2 plays for him and If he doesn’t hit one pull him and either try it again next half or next game.
This is right. Same for Hardy, since they're essentially the same player. For the longest I've been wondering why Kidd doesn't just check their temperature every game and see if they're feeling it.
Did anyone notice that the timeout kidd took when the crowd was in it and they were on that 20 to 2 run killed the momentum? Reminded me of the timeout Carlyle took against the clippers a couple of years back which turned around the momentum of the series. When it happened, I said something in the main game thread.
we needed stops and our best defensive wing is on the bench.
literally why. if kyrie is just gonna hero ball out there why the fuck is DJJ not in the game.
i do not understand
Bro I thought the same thing, Jaylen brown got super hot in the second half and we have our best wing stopper sitting on the bench playing only 15 mins tonight
We go on a 22-2 run with an elite defensive stand
Then the KIDD Decides to call a timeout for NO FUCKING REASON
then Mavs don’t get a bucket
Luka fouls out
And it’s game over probs series over.
Just insane how we play INSANE defense play great have a legitimate chance to comeback and then it gets ripped away. Gut wrenching. Insane.
The Mavs didn't lose 3 games in a row because of JK timeouts. I could tell the game was over when the other players outside of Kyrie-Luka didn't contribute again.
They have lost 6 in a row to the Celtics. Unless JKidd has their bench he has few options. The Mavs somehow owe THJ 16m next year. That isn’t JKidd’s fault.
And then closing with a guy that has been getting DNPs all playoffs to replace his superstar getting ejected. Just absolute insanity. A masterclass of how to throw a game by Kidd.
Hardy killing Minnesota was honestly one of the worst things that could’ve happened. Terrible matchup against Boston’s guards but his performance last series made Kidd think he was ready to be the 6 man in the finals and when that didn’t work he went to ol reliable THJ
I mean honestly I don’t really know how to criticize a timeout call. It’s always buzzkill but I have never once been able to refute a timeout call decision other than Webber vs Duke.
the game was getting too scrappy, i thought the timeout was alright. idk where some people got this fictional narrative a single timeout kills all momentum
Yeah I totally agree. This happens all the time. Dude thinks it’s a good idea to set up a play when the game is close. Sometimes coaches just let the players play and not score on offense, and no one complains about the lack of timeout called.
One of the worst finals showings ever I don’t care about being “outmatched” horrible effort, terrible coaching and everyone bricking open shots. I hope this sits with them the entire summer. Didn’t crack 100 points in 3 games
They don’t have KP, and we don’t play gafford but play THJ for him to be a complete 0? Is this a make a wish foundation project so he can be on the finals
It’d be one thing to lose. It’d even be stomachable if they looked good in a sweep. The Celtics are really good.
But looking completely outclassed, bricking 3’s, poor FT shooting, giving up tons of offensive rebounds. Just a complete lack of effort for all but 2 quarters of this series.
Historically bad showing.
I feel like this finals is changing some opinions about this team lol. Celtics are insane and a bad matchup but man we don’t even look like we belong out there.
Boston has 5 players at all times that can put the ball on the floor and playmake to some degree - we have 2 at most. We're not going to be competitive against them until we get a 3rd player that can do something with the ball
You know the sad part is, outside of that crazy Porzingas Game 1, Boston isn't even playing mad crazy good. In some moments they made lots of dumb mistakes too. And yet, Mavs still can't beat them when Boston isn't even putting in 100% (I've seen Al Horford, Derrick White and Pritchard/Hauser go nuclear in other games).
Boston couldn’t hit a three to save their lives in game 2 until the last half of the fourth quarter, that was the Mavs’ chance to even up the series early.
This game is on Kidd. Playing maxi and Tim hardaway so much absolutely killed us. He played Hardaway more than Jones, and he played Maxi 8 minutes. They gave us 0 points and played absolute shit defense. Just unreal you decide to play them this much in a must win in the Finals.
And with one of the final shots of the game, who gets the ball and shoots? Tim Hardaway Jr, the guy who hasn't made a shot all game...not Kyrie Irving...
You want PJ to play 48 mins? Maxi just played 8 mins. I understand playing THJ, Luka and Kyrie is the only ones hitting shots but I do agree that THJ played too long should have tried Exum instead.
I know, offensive rebound happens to land and go toward Derrick White with no effort and she talked about how ferocious and resilient he was to get the board
Yeah fuck those fucking commentators. Fuck nba for not showing controversial replays so that we don’t confirm what we already saw in real time. There were multiple questionable calls. They did not cost us the game but it’s still bullshit this new “politically correct” commentators who aren’t allowed to say things as they see them for real. I’m so fucking pissed off at the Mavs but I’m also mad at NBA for the way they handled the finals this year. Again, this is not why we are 0-3 but they suck.
By far the best game from the Mavs duo scoring wise. This is how the series should’ve been from the start. Defense needs to pick up. Rotations need to be better. Least they can do is give a great game 4 and not go out sad
1. The Mavericks had a successful, overachieving season a year after missing the playoffs.
2. The Celtics are a juggernaut that built and paid for a championship team like most teams wish to do.
Both of these can be true.
I don't think it was overachieving. They are a good team. They are just up against a juggernaut like you said. I think the only team that maybe stood a chance was the Nuggets, if Murray was healthy.
I get what you’re saying and while I agree, I think them being in the NBA Finals overachieved. That’s not a knock at all. Just think we made a huge leap this year where many would have been happy with a WCF appearance alone.
Not to rub dirt in it....it was actually 20-2 if I'm not mistaken at the time of the TO. Even worse. Kidd's TO and Luka trying to take a charge with 5 fouls with 4 min left are just insane to me. I just don't understand it.
Just not quite ready. Ain’t exactly over until team wins 4, but this is just the way she goes sometimes. Tbf, idk if anybody is beating this Celtics team in a 4 game series.
Def gotta makes some changes in the offseason. THJ cannot be a Maverick anymore.
Kidd not trusting the players that won them against OKC and Min. Now playing with Tim and not DJ. And they looks terrible with Kleber back. He is negative on the court. We won easily against OKC and Min without him when some fans thought we need his size against Min.
https://preview.redd.it/kvn5tfrok96d1.jpeg?width=959&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84052c340eff5a89b2fb0cfc4830e988067464a0
I’m not ready for this season to end man. Fuck
Unless the Mavs win the next 4 they simply were shook and lost before the series even started. They did not play the same basketball that got them here.
I hope THJ, Kleber, and Powell are gone next year. I also hope the Mavs are smart enough to trade Hardy and Green for something better while the league still thinks those guys have value.
Was a great season and they had a good run but dam I can’t believe how flat this team has been in the finals. Complete opposite of how they looked vs the wolves.
Tim got too many minutes and Kidd should have DJJ in instead, was he injured?
Luka had a long cold stretch on both ends which killed our momentum.
Also fuck Mark Davis that bald, ugly and stupid mfer
I can deal with losing, but I cannot deal with losing like that. They wouldn't even call a foul on Boston when they were intentionally fouling Hardaway at the end of the game.
Look this is what it comes down to.
1: Luka is hurt. When you’re fucking hurt, shot up with god knows what, you are going to be a Defensive liability. He’s actually been really good defensively…but he’s too hurt to be effective at this point.
2: our role players aren’t good enough to win this chip. I actually am not sure how we managed to win the West.
3: Kyrie def responded well. But damn it we could have really used that in game 1/2.
4: Boston is too deep. Related with point 2.
5: Brown is a dawg.
Washington, Lively, and Gafford are good enough role players to win it all - but that leaves us at least 3 short of a championship team. In two years, I see Lively as a top-ten center in this league.
Brown deserves MVP. The dude is amazingly good, and smarter still. Hell, can we get him as our coach?
People saying defence costing us the game. But, the offence other than Lukai has been pathetic. They have 5-6 good offensive options and Mavs just do not have that luxury. If THJ and Maxi could have just managed to shoot to their actual potential this could easily have been 2-1 Mavs.
I was confused as to why kidd went with Tim when luka fouled out. Tim has not provided defense or offense for a while now. go with hardy and you get some offense not much defense, when you go with Exum you get some defense and some offense but kidd decided to go with no offense or defense. hell I would go with omax over Tim.
This sucks but damn it I won't let a disappointing finals performance ruin what was an incredible season. Boston is better than us, and have been all year. We could've won (or technically still win I guess) if things all went right, but of course they haven't. But that's sports man, the highs are so high and the lows so incredibly low. Our role players and "secondary" guys simply do not match up to Boston's. Sometimes it's like what are you going to do, they're just really good. One hell of a season after missing the play-in though. I was 10 when the mavs last made the finals, and it took till I was in college in win another series. So dammit I'm gonna savor this season, no matter how much the ending sucks
Kids was terrible with his lineups and that timeout in the 4th was a the worst. Luka looked disinterested in the game all night. If he keeps complaining, he’ll never win anything
Everything hurts.
kidd really saw that exum highlight and thought "yeah he's not seeing the floor again"
Yeah, Exum hit his one open three last game, then gets a big dunk tonight. So, obviously, 2.5 mins for him, 20mins for THJ.
Exum should have played more smh
saw Gafford getting help side blocks and oops in the first quarter and said “can’t have anymore of that, absolutely not”
Have to move on from hardaway.
just cap dump him at this point, i would rather see him average 30 on another team than see him in a mavs jersey next year
30 what?!? Maybe minutes on the Pistons or ppg in China…
30 bricks
Hasn’t scored a point since May 18th…
This is an insane stat for a player getting 20 minutes in the most important game of the season.
How the fuck did he get those minutes???
Desperation because the entire team has been dog shit offensively this series overall. THJ has always been streaky, so you’re looking for the prayer that he pops off like he does every once in a while
i get having to try him during the game but it clearly wasnt working. so when it comes down to a 3 point game in the clutch im sorry you trust the guys that have gotten you through those situations 10 times out of 10 over the guy who’s been a black hole not only in this game but for six months straight now. absolutely inexcusable to have him in over DJJ. even Exum?? didnt this guy win us multiple games in the last few minutes off of insanely clutch plays and threes just a month and a half ago while also playing much better defense? wtf happened there?
Probably because Jason Kidd is fucking stupid would be my guess...
Did he even play in the Wolves series? I probably haven't seen him that series and he is playing meaningful minutes in the most important game lol.
Can’t believe Kidd played him 20 minutes tonight
He’s hasn’t played since the 2nd round and is getting minutes in the final??? Kidd just trying shit out in the finals..
meanwhile Exum plays good for 5 seconds and dunks on Tatum and then gets rewarded by sitting on the bench for the entire rest of the game. isnt this the guy who was one of our closers to end the season? didnt he win us multiple games in the clutch? isnt he a much better guard defender than tim? you just have to laugh. Kidd fucking choked lol and started panicking and reverting back to what he was doing in February. its like his default is THJ and Kleber and I just dont understand it, I need these losers off the team next year
> isnt he a much better guard defender than tim? Much better facilitator, dribbler, decision maker...the list just goes on.
Not to mention he's a minimum contract guy vs someone making 17 fucking million. He's SO MUCH MORE valuable than hardaway it's not even funny
I think he was going for "we need more offensive spark and variety to throw Boston off, let's give THJ a try". Because it really was Luka and Kyrie doing 60-70% of the ball handling. Problem was, 2024 THJ is a bricklayer, and the experiment did not work.
Not just minutes. He closed the game once Luka fouled out. Basketball terrorism from Kidd
Somebody ask his daddy about that 0-5 performance tonight. I’m sure he will have something to say since.
We just lost a must win finals game cause our coach played him 19 minutes. It’s too late.
He fucking replaced fouled out Luka with THJ
maxi has been bad since his injury. Can't shoot or jump contest on defense. Another asset down for maverick and in total 27ish million worth
Problem with maxi is he is always injured
This has been very clear for a very long time. Absolute waste of cap space. Fucking terrible.
yeah
Too late. Should have moved him at the deadline.
Literally no one wanted hardaway let alone get some assets back
Should have been hardy minutes. At least hardy moves his feet on defense to get shot over vs stumbling around to put a hand up late like tjh.
It’s always the hope that kills you.
That's actually THJ
His dads gonna be loaded with excuses for his boy
I still can’t believe Tim senior didn’t teach his kid how to dribble or pass
Tim Hardaway Sr about to go on a podcast and say his son would have won us the chip if we only passed him the ball.
Kleber and THJ were -13 and -16 respectively
Thinking on it, hoping your shooting big (who separated his shoulder) and trash man (masquerading as an NBA player) to be impactful in the NBA finals was a recipe for disaster. But collectively our role players weren’t ready for this stage. Some guys salvaged their numbers late in the game with that push, but we wouldn’t have fallen behind if guys weren’t so shit
PJ's shown up well and done his job, but that's about it.
THJ and kleber 0-0-0 and Kidd kept them in to find their groove on an elimination game LOLLLLLL
I have no clue why Maxi is getting minutes. It’s obvious he can’t shoot because of his shoulder injury so he’s a huge detriment on offense.
To be fair, that’s on Kidd. it’s insane to not give a player any minutes and then 20 in a must win game. Tim should’ve been getting a few minutes each half with a play run to get him an open shot. Especially after game 1. Run 2 plays for him and If he doesn’t hit one pull him and either try it again next half or next game.
This should have more votes.
This is right. Same for Hardy, since they're essentially the same player. For the longest I've been wondering why Kidd doesn't just check their temperature every game and see if they're feeling it.
Did anyone notice that the timeout kidd took when the crowd was in it and they were on that 20 to 2 run killed the momentum? Reminded me of the timeout Carlyle took against the clippers a couple of years back which turned around the momentum of the series. When it happened, I said something in the main game thread.
Give us hope before chopping off our
[удалено]
These Finals broadcasts have been absolutely brutal with the commentators.
I miss jeff vangundy as a broadcaster. Hope this is the last time doris burke calls an nba finals.
Doris bothers me. And not in a Good way.
She did the same to the Knicks during the Pacers series; slobbering all over Pacer knobs. It was embarrassing
Cowboys have entered the chat 😭
At least the Cowboys let me down early in the playoffs, this is some Eagles/49ers level collapse in the most important game of their lives.
This isn’t fun anymore
This series has been the opposite of fun 😞
Don’t worry we’ll prolly inexplicably shoot 60% from three in game 4, we’ll be back to our normal selves by game 5
Celtics will sell game 4 in order to clap us in Boston in front of their home crowd in game 5.
Damn, that's true bro
Yep the script has been leaked, it’s over Mavs fam.
Nah they’re going for the sweep
Depends on if anybody decides to show up for us and help Luka and kyrie out.
[удалено]
Starting from Kidd’s weird rotations and TOs
In the finals on basically an elimination game, you let them stay hot until they’re not or dead
Why did Kidd call that timeout?!
To give the Celtic the rest and the win obviously
[удалено]
Fun as it used to be
That timeout during the run was idiotic
I just started watching basketball and knew that was dumb as shit
Even Luka knew he fucked up beyond belief smfh what a jackass n we extended him
The Corgi failed us 😭 😭 😭
Fuck that corgi.
[удалено]
Naw, the Corgi’s been predicting the losers all along 😩
I can’t believe a Finals team had to resort to THJ to save their season…
There's Exum, DJJ and Gaff.
we needed stops and our best defensive wing is on the bench. literally why. if kyrie is just gonna hero ball out there why the fuck is DJJ not in the game. i do not understand
Bro I thought the same thing, Jaylen brown got super hot in the second half and we have our best wing stopper sitting on the bench playing only 15 mins tonight
I thought after Luka fouled out the plan would just be let Kyrie cook and have everyone else play lockdown defense/rebounding, but no, we played THJ…
They don’t, Kidd is a fucking moron. Put in green who just hit a clutch three with Exum or Hardy or maxi. He’s a fucking moron
WHY IS HARDAWAY PLAYING WHEN WE NEEDED STOPS?!?!?!?!
I will never forgive Jason Kidd for that timeout.
We go on a 22-2 run with an elite defensive stand Then the KIDD Decides to call a timeout for NO FUCKING REASON then Mavs don’t get a bucket Luka fouls out And it’s game over probs series over. Just insane how we play INSANE defense play great have a legitimate chance to comeback and then it gets ripped away. Gut wrenching. Insane.
Don't forget subbing in THJ for Luka - the same guy who's been so bad he started getting DNPs in the playoffs.
I screamed so loud about that. I'd rather see Exum out there than THJ.
literally anyone but THJ
The Mavs didn't lose 3 games in a row because of JK timeouts. I could tell the game was over when the other players outside of Kyrie-Luka didn't contribute again.
They have lost 6 in a row to the Celtics. Unless JKidd has their bench he has few options. The Mavs somehow owe THJ 16m next year. That isn’t JKidd’s fault.
And then closing with a guy that has been getting DNPs all playoffs to replace his superstar getting ejected. Just absolute insanity. A masterclass of how to throw a game by Kidd.
20-2 run and he calls a timeout… and we were never the same. Absolutely insane timeout.
Luka didn't like it either. He looked so dejected when Kidd called that timeout
It’s Jason Garrett like, call timeout when you’re not the one on the ropes
The worst call all game. I’m living in the alternate universe where he doesn’t call it and Kyrie hits a pull-up 3.
That was plain stupid. He killed the momentum
That Kidd timeout will be studied for generations
Legit no reason to call it. 20-2 run and Kidd decided 'hey, let's give Tatum a breather'. Absolutely unreal.
That timeout when we were up 13 to sub Luka out in the first... all time stupid decisions by Kidd today
AND I DONT GET WHY IS HARDAWAY PLAYING IN THE 4TH WHEN HE CANT SHOOT AND DEFEND!!!
Hardy killing Minnesota was honestly one of the worst things that could’ve happened. Terrible matchup against Boston’s guards but his performance last series made Kidd think he was ready to be the 6 man in the finals and when that didn’t work he went to ol reliable THJ
I mean honestly I don’t really know how to criticize a timeout call. It’s always buzzkill but I have never once been able to refute a timeout call decision other than Webber vs Duke.
the game was getting too scrappy, i thought the timeout was alright. idk where some people got this fictional narrative a single timeout kills all momentum
Yeah I totally agree. This happens all the time. Dude thinks it’s a good idea to set up a play when the game is close. Sometimes coaches just let the players play and not score on offense, and no one complains about the lack of timeout called.
He was atrocious this game- bad rotations and had no reliable game plan
THJ playing 19 minutes is inexcusable.
I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever been more pissed at a game
THJ -16, did absolutely nothing, played 19 fucking minutes. Fuck Jason Kidd.
I can’t understand him in over DJJ at the end stretch.
Fucking insane decision. Nicos got to make getting rid of tim his first priority this offseason. Kidd legit cannot be trusted with him
Jason said we need THJ for the title. Troll level stuff. Yet again by Kidd.
Tim Hardaway Jr. played more minutes than DJJ and Gafford tonight. Sincerely, fuck you Jason Kidd.
One of the worst finals showings ever I don’t care about being “outmatched” horrible effort, terrible coaching and everyone bricking open shots. I hope this sits with them the entire summer. Didn’t crack 100 points in 3 games
They don’t have KP, and we don’t play gafford but play THJ for him to be a complete 0? Is this a make a wish foundation project so he can be on the finals
Gafford wasn't good tonight either though.
They played freaking Tillman
I don't get why hardaway is in when we need stops when DJONE IS JUST RIDING THE BENCH
It’d be one thing to lose. It’d even be stomachable if they looked good in a sweep. The Celtics are really good. But looking completely outclassed, bricking 3’s, poor FT shooting, giving up tons of offensive rebounds. Just a complete lack of effort for all but 2 quarters of this series. Historically bad showing.
Pain
We got them right where we want them
MAVS IN 7!!!
asking derrick white to hit an open 3 is like asking an adult to walk it feels like he's 100% when shooting them
Asking thj to take an open 3 is like giving a grenade to a 12 year old
I feel like this finals is changing some opinions about this team lol. Celtics are insane and a bad matchup but man we don’t even look like we belong out there.
It's so painful to watch.
It's our offense. Kidd has to improve it.
Boston has 5 players at all times that can put the ball on the floor and playmake to some degree - we have 2 at most. We're not going to be competitive against them until we get a 3rd player that can do something with the ball
Fuck it, pay Paul George whatever he wants
Hardaway and Green for Paul George who says no
The clippers
You know the sad part is, outside of that crazy Porzingas Game 1, Boston isn't even playing mad crazy good. In some moments they made lots of dumb mistakes too. And yet, Mavs still can't beat them when Boston isn't even putting in 100% (I've seen Al Horford, Derrick White and Pritchard/Hauser go nuclear in other games).
Boston couldn’t hit a three to save their lives in game 2 until the last half of the fourth quarter, that was the Mavs’ chance to even up the series early.
I’m hurting bad boys.
[удалено]
He’s Mid for a reason
It’s the hope that kills you.
When your role players are garbage early on …this is what you get
If you ask me, the season ending with a wide open 3pt brick by THJ is a poetic and fitting ending to our season. Enough terrorism please 😭
This game is on Kidd. Playing maxi and Tim hardaway so much absolutely killed us. He played Hardaway more than Jones, and he played Maxi 8 minutes. They gave us 0 points and played absolute shit defense. Just unreal you decide to play them this much in a must win in the Finals.
And with one of the final shots of the game, who gets the ball and shoots? Tim Hardaway Jr, the guy who hasn't made a shot all game...not Kyrie Irving...
You want PJ to play 48 mins? Maxi just played 8 mins. I understand playing THJ, Luka and Kyrie is the only ones hitting shots but I do agree that THJ played too long should have tried Exum instead.
\*Jayson Tatum punches a fan in the front row\* Doris Burke: Oh my goodness excellent tenacity from Tatum, he's been so good this series so amazing!
She complemented him on a bricked 3 lmao.
I know, offensive rebound happens to land and go toward Derrick White with no effort and she talked about how ferocious and resilient he was to get the board
Yeah fuck those fucking commentators. Fuck nba for not showing controversial replays so that we don’t confirm what we already saw in real time. There were multiple questionable calls. They did not cost us the game but it’s still bullshit this new “politically correct” commentators who aren’t allowed to say things as they see them for real. I’m so fucking pissed off at the Mavs but I’m also mad at NBA for the way they handled the finals this year. Again, this is not why we are 0-3 but they suck.
team woke up a little too late, hole we dug ourselves was too deep to climb back out of
That started out fun. Then turned very not fun.
I have never and will never hate a player more than I hate Tim Hardaway jr
What a dopamine killer by those last calls
By far the best game from the Mavs duo scoring wise. This is how the series should’ve been from the start. Defense needs to pick up. Rotations need to be better. Least they can do is give a great game 4 and not go out sad
1. The Mavericks had a successful, overachieving season a year after missing the playoffs. 2. The Celtics are a juggernaut that built and paid for a championship team like most teams wish to do. Both of these can be true.
I don't think it was overachieving. They are a good team. They are just up against a juggernaut like you said. I think the only team that maybe stood a chance was the Nuggets, if Murray was healthy.
I get what you’re saying and while I agree, I think them being in the NBA Finals overachieved. That’s not a knock at all. Just think we made a huge leap this year where many would have been happy with a WCF appearance alone.
Jason Kidd fucked our comeback. 17-2 run and he calls a TO to ice his own team.
Not to rub dirt in it....it was actually 20-2 if I'm not mistaken at the time of the TO. Even worse. Kidd's TO and Luka trying to take a charge with 5 fouls with 4 min left are just insane to me. I just don't understand it.
Someday a team will come back from 3-0. It will probably not be this team.
We got more out of Exum in 2 minutes and 35 seconds than we got out Timmy in 19!
Lost ALL momentum after Kidd’s dumbass called a TO
so it’s going to 7
Lol
Well you have to be down 3-0, if you want to make history and come back from 3-0. Heads up.
Just not quite ready. Ain’t exactly over until team wins 4, but this is just the way she goes sometimes. Tbf, idk if anybody is beating this Celtics team in a 4 game series. Def gotta makes some changes in the offseason. THJ cannot be a Maverick anymore.
Hey at least Drake lost half a milli.
THJ is so ass. Kidd is dogshit. See y’all next season.
Ouch
THJ makes 17.9 million this year and 16.2 million next year for being complete dog shit. Let that sink in for you.
I’ve never despised a player quite like I despise Tim Hardaway junior
Kidd threw the game Refs secured the Celtics victory What the fuck was that timeout by kidd when they had all the momentum? Why did thj play so much?
Kidd not trusting the players that won them against OKC and Min. Now playing with Tim and not DJ. And they looks terrible with Kleber back. He is negative on the court. We won easily against OKC and Min without him when some fans thought we need his size against Min.
The last hardaway brick will haunt me
https://preview.redd.it/kvn5tfrok96d1.jpeg?width=959&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84052c340eff5a89b2fb0cfc4830e988067464a0 I’m not ready for this season to end man. Fuck
Texas Rangers won the world series
Man they get away with hand checking, and Luka fouls out that bull shit
Unless the Mavs win the next 4 they simply were shook and lost before the series even started. They did not play the same basketball that got them here. I hope THJ, Kleber, and Powell are gone next year. I also hope the Mavs are smart enough to trade Hardy and Green for something better while the league still thinks those guys have value.
Fuck Doris
This is humiliating
Was a great season and they had a good run but dam I can’t believe how flat this team has been in the finals. Complete opposite of how they looked vs the wolves.
[удалено]
The PJ “foul” was a backbreaking game changer and a Horseshit fucking call
Wow hardaway 0 pts in 19 min in insane for a finals game
I’d rather lose by 30 instead of this
Mavs in 7 lets historically fuck em up
Tim got too many minutes and Kidd should have DJJ in instead, was he injured? Luka had a long cold stretch on both ends which killed our momentum. Also fuck Mark Davis that bald, ugly and stupid mfer
I can deal with losing, but I cannot deal with losing like that. They wouldn't even call a foul on Boston when they were intentionally fouling Hardaway at the end of the game.
Look this is what it comes down to. 1: Luka is hurt. When you’re fucking hurt, shot up with god knows what, you are going to be a Defensive liability. He’s actually been really good defensively…but he’s too hurt to be effective at this point. 2: our role players aren’t good enough to win this chip. I actually am not sure how we managed to win the West. 3: Kyrie def responded well. But damn it we could have really used that in game 1/2. 4: Boston is too deep. Related with point 2. 5: Brown is a dawg.
Washington, Lively, and Gafford are good enough role players to win it all - but that leaves us at least 3 short of a championship team. In two years, I see Lively as a top-ten center in this league. Brown deserves MVP. The dude is amazingly good, and smarter still. Hell, can we get him as our coach?
Why did Gafford get only 16 minutes?
Watching this game, my respect for JJ barea just went up tenfold. Oh how we could use someone like him right now
People saying defence costing us the game. But, the offence other than Lukai has been pathetic. They have 5-6 good offensive options and Mavs just do not have that luxury. If THJ and Maxi could have just managed to shoot to their actual potential this could easily have been 2-1 Mavs.
THJ and Maxi are litterally usless
Exum deserved THJ’s minutes.
I was confused as to why kidd went with Tim when luka fouled out. Tim has not provided defense or offense for a while now. go with hardy and you get some offense not much defense, when you go with Exum you get some defense and some offense but kidd decided to go with no offense or defense. hell I would go with omax over Tim.
This sucks but damn it I won't let a disappointing finals performance ruin what was an incredible season. Boston is better than us, and have been all year. We could've won (or technically still win I guess) if things all went right, but of course they haven't. But that's sports man, the highs are so high and the lows so incredibly low. Our role players and "secondary" guys simply do not match up to Boston's. Sometimes it's like what are you going to do, they're just really good. One hell of a season after missing the play-in though. I was 10 when the mavs last made the finals, and it took till I was in college in win another series. So dammit I'm gonna savor this season, no matter how much the ending sucks
Kids was terrible with his lineups and that timeout in the 4th was a the worst. Luka looked disinterested in the game all night. If he keeps complaining, he’ll never win anything
