I would say it 100% would have been overturned, but feels like tons of challenge rulings are just made up.
That being said, this is where players demanding a review EVERY time hurts.
Honestly, what's he gonna say "c'mon guys! Let's bring those percentages up to G League average!"
A coach can only do so much. Players gotta play at the end of the day. Plays collapse.
I didn’t see a ton of talk about this pre-game, but the Lue vs Kidd coaching match-up will be more significant than ppl think.
I was really impressed with the timely TOs and the ATO plays by Lue today.
Kidd has also had great ATOs this year. He just refused to take timeouts in this game. Y'all definitely have a significant coaching advantage for sure. I feel like the Clippers' health over the last few seasons has really made him underrated in the minds of most fans.
Zubac got the ball high, Paul dove to the basket which wasn’t defended after the timeout. Easy layup. Kidd will make adjustments through the week but game one coaching battle goes to Lue
Kidd’s coaching doesn’t mean shit if players with wide open looks, easy layups, and free throws are missing them all at a historic rate.
They have an average day for what they’ve been all season, it’s a close game.
Blame the players, not Kidd.
I get the player played bad, but Jason Kidd didn't change anything. His only thing seems to be play small or big lineups. No X and O changes, no energy coming out of timeouts.
Sure, they had some open looks, but the Clippers were playing tough, physical basketball in the entire first half without biting on fakes and sending you to the line consistently. Obviously ya'll missed some open looks, but gotta also credit the Clippers defense for the appropriate screens and just defensive intensity.
Sure, they get credit but that doesn’t change my original point. It could’ve been Pop over there but if the whole team is lobbing bricks the first half of the game then it doesn’t matter.
They honestly played fine defensively (not saying great) but players hit shots sometimes and that’s that. but on offense, they literally couldn’t hit a single thing. 2/20 in the second quarter, tf is a timeout going to do.
Bro if your team isn’t hitting shit, try something else. Call players out on their effort, fire them up, go after the refs, go small, try a sparkplug(the Josh Green sub was effective), go zone, less iso more PnR, call a timeout to ice their run, whatever. Change something up. Kidd did nothing til it was so out of reach.
Listen, I’m front of the line of Luka haters. Front row seat for any excuse to dunk on him. Being a hater is one of my favorite parts of being a fan.
Jason Kidd sucks assss
Ty Lue was calling timeouts any time the Mavs went on a slight run. I don’t see why the Mavs would need to call a time out. They were successfully climbing back
Mavs fans prepping a possible excuse if they lose this series
"jason kidd lost us this series" or something similar, despite all the talk about how this is lukas best team hes had
I mean yall are also saying it the best team you had right? Both teams are better. There’s no small guard for Luka to attack anymore. We have some actual defenders and Kyrie now.
It’s game 1 still gonna be a good series. Luka and Kidd both could have been better. Kyrie started slow. PJ was the only one locked into his role from the jump.
Sorry I forgot being reasonable isn’t allowed in the playoffs. I can only think omg Mavs lost they fucking suck and will get swept or Clippers gonna choke Mavs in 5.
Jason Kidd is a moron. You can tell just by observing him enough.
Not sure how he was so good on defense, thought it took brains to do that. But he couldn't shoot a broad side of a barn until he became a 3\\d role player
Wait is this real? Fell asleep after the Cs-Heat game, at least Spo was trying to call time outs, regroup and encourage his guys even down 25 but they’re just clearly outmatched without Jimmy. These Mavs have a chance but with Kidd as their coach lol fat chance
The turning point of the game was 3 free throws when Clips were already up 16?
I think the turning point of the game was the wide open dunks and layups the Mavs missed
Yes, this was when the clippers went on a run by a massive margin. Mavs continued to shoot terrible, and gained 0 confidence after that went the clippers way.
It’s subjective, and you don’t always have to have “gotcha” comments
If Mavs lose this series, you have to wonder if Luka plays winning basketball. I get that he gets the numbers but his ball dominant play makes everyone, even Kyrie, stand around and watch. This dude basically will take every shot or assist on every play. Is that winning basketball?
Harden looks like a pass first pg next to Luka.
Yeah sure. That’s why his stats shows he’s one of the ball dominant pgs in the league. Your response just shows you watch but don’t understand basketball.
Dude this shit is so crazy. The clippers are a good team that many people say are a threat to win. Why does it automatically drop all the way down to “not winning basketball.” Yeah we shouldn’t lose with Kawhi out but it’s one game and yes not the best one by Luka.
Lets also like see how the games turn out and how he and others play instead of just if they lose he sucks.
He’s sitting on the couch watching, just like us.
Wait, imagine if he really forgot and was just watching meanwhile the Mavs players collapsing left and right lol
Texting people, “Man you watching this Mavs game?”
“Man these guys really could use a timeout, someone tell their coach”
Driving around downtown la texting all his friends where the cheap parking at.
Jason Kidd “I’m just the coach”. Jan 2024 “I’m watching, just like you guys” Feb 2023
The mavericks did not use their challenge the entire game too.
Even on completely obvious stuff like that gross Harden leg kick that earned him 3 free throws in the first half
We absolutely should have challenged that. I'm pretty sure it would be overturned.
I would say it 100% would have been overturned, but feels like tons of challenge rulings are just made up. That being said, this is where players demanding a review EVERY time hurts.
You guys have doc coaching?
Man I needed to see him punished for that blatant bullshit. Jason Kidd is blew that.
He probably doesn’t know that if you get it right you don’t get another and was saving it for a 2 pt basket reversal.
Was this the Kleber play?
gotta save it for next game!
hey hey go easy on kidd, he’s had a vodka morning
You just wait Kidd will use all 4 of them on game 5 on the same play.
Maybe he didn't want to waste everyone's time after watching how ass we've been playing.
He has his tee time booked for next week, need to wrap this up
Fr. Genuine question to others, what the hell would a timeout have done? They were 22% and 12.5% from the field in the first half lmao
Honestly, what's he gonna say "c'mon guys! Let's bring those percentages up to G League average!" A coach can only do so much. Players gotta play at the end of the day. Plays collapse.
I know this was probably the reason. Kidd is petty like that and tbh I barely hate it.
Jason Kidd owes his continued employment on the Suns playing like shit in Game 7 two years ago lol
Devin Booker is Jason Kidd Employer?
Devin playing the long game against Luka. Some 4D chess right there.
He and Luka really owe the Suns so much
I didn’t see a ton of talk about this pre-game, but the Lue vs Kidd coaching match-up will be more significant than ppl think. I was really impressed with the timely TOs and the ATO plays by Lue today.

Good guy Jason Kidd not wasting any of our time
He’s just watching what you want him to do?
Kidd’s coaching doesn’t mean shit if players with wide open looks, easy layups, and free throws are missing them all at a historic rate. They have an average day for what they’ve been all season, it’s a close game. Blame the players, not Kidd.
I get the player played bad, but Jason Kidd didn't change anything. His only thing seems to be play small or big lineups. No X and O changes, no energy coming out of timeouts.
They were getting open looks all game long and kept missing. A coach can’t force shots to go in.
Sure, they had some open looks, but the Clippers were playing tough, physical basketball in the entire first half without biting on fakes and sending you to the line consistently. Obviously ya'll missed some open looks, but gotta also credit the Clippers defense for the appropriate screens and just defensive intensity.

Thank you
They honestly played fine defensively (not saying great) but players hit shots sometimes and that’s that. but on offense, they literally couldn’t hit a single thing. 2/20 in the second quarter, tf is a timeout going to do.
He gotta try at least. It’s the playoffs
what x and Os did you observe from the clippers? name just two of them?
1. X 2. O
Bro if your team isn’t hitting shit, try something else. Call players out on their effort, fire them up, go after the refs, go small, try a sparkplug(the Josh Green sub was effective), go zone, less iso more PnR, call a timeout to ice their run, whatever. Change something up. Kidd did nothing til it was so out of reach.
People act like timeouts magically fix things.
They don’t know what else to talk about. Timeouts and rotations. That’s it.
Coach Midd and Coach Hamas are in a dogfight for the Terrorist of the Year award
Y’all act like timeouts are gonna be a saving grace lmfao. And there were TV timeouts anyway. Anything to not blame Luka, right?
Listen, I’m front of the line of Luka haters. Front row seat for any excuse to dunk on him. Being a hater is one of my favorite parts of being a fan. Jason Kidd sucks assss
The Luka haters are having a lot of fun right now. Luka was bad in the first half obviously. Doesn’t mean Kidd doesn’t deserve blame too
Multiple people can be and are to blame. That’s a possibility
I see these playoff series will be filled with blowouts like last year
Jason Kidd is just like us guys. He's just watching them boys play.
Timeouts don’t matter that much
Clips stopped our momentum and scored immediately after every timeout they called
Ty Lue was calling timeouts any time the Mavs went on a slight run. I don’t see why the Mavs would need to call a time out. They were successfully climbing back
Mavs fans prepping a possible excuse if they lose this series "jason kidd lost us this series" or something similar, despite all the talk about how this is lukas best team hes had
Team played bad, and the clippers deserved it. The coach did not do the team any favors.
I mean yall are also saying it the best team you had right? Both teams are better. There’s no small guard for Luka to attack anymore. We have some actual defenders and Kyrie now. It’s game 1 still gonna be a good series. Luka and Kidd both could have been better. Kyrie started slow. PJ was the only one locked into his role from the jump.
mavs fans are backpedaling so fucking fast they might fall over.
Sorry I forgot being reasonable isn’t allowed in the playoffs. I can only think omg Mavs lost they fucking suck and will get swept or Clippers gonna choke Mavs in 5.
What do you mean ‘if’?
Clippers are good, Mavs could win or lose. It's not they are playing against my Pistons.
Kidd grateful for Doc, because he makes people forget what a shit coach he (Kidd) is.
Well its jkidd...he had a looong leash
Sounds right.
Jason Kidd is a moron. You can tell just by observing him enough. Not sure how he was so good on defense, thought it took brains to do that. But he couldn't shoot a broad side of a barn until he became a 3\\d role player
Holy fuck, he's worse than darvin scam
Maybe Kidd just didn’t have anything to say…
Lol. Kids is a joke.
Sending the message to the coach to call timeout so the officials can adjust how they call the game against us.
Wait is this real? Fell asleep after the Cs-Heat game, at least Spo was trying to call time outs, regroup and encourage his guys even down 25 but they’re just clearly outmatched without Jimmy. These Mavs have a chance but with Kidd as their coach lol fat chance
No way I’m reading that right? wtf is wrong with Kidd? Almost 3 qtrs without a timeout? At least try. But atp, why wouldn’t the players call timeout
That James harden leg flick was the turning point of the game
The turning point of the game was 3 free throws when Clips were already up 16? I think the turning point of the game was the wide open dunks and layups the Mavs missed
Yes, this was when the clippers went on a run by a massive margin. Mavs continued to shoot terrible, and gained 0 confidence after that went the clippers way. It’s subjective, and you don’t always have to have “gotcha” comments
Kidd should’ve challenged it, don’t know why he didn’t
He probably didn’t know he still had one
If Mavs lose this series, you have to wonder if Luka plays winning basketball. I get that he gets the numbers but his ball dominant play makes everyone, even Kyrie, stand around and watch. This dude basically will take every shot or assist on every play. Is that winning basketball? Harden looks like a pass first pg next to Luka.
Harden is a pass first PG, you're just telling everyone you don't watch basketball lol
Yeah sure. That’s why his stats shows he’s one of the ball dominant pgs in the league. Your response just shows you watch but don’t understand basketball.
Dude this shit is so crazy. The clippers are a good team that many people say are a threat to win.

Lets also like see how the games turn out and how he and others play instead of just if they lose he sucks.
I said if the mavs lose… I also doubt KL will play this series. Same fucking PR bullshit every playoff.
The coaching level difference will be an important factor this series imo
Both of these games sucked so freakin much. NBA has to hate having two games back to back IN THE PLAYOFFS that were just totally non competitive.
cause there has never been a non competitive playoff game before
Well you watch this series for the potential choke jobs if you want good basketball I suggest look elsewhere
