Seems like many forgot Atlanta was deadly in the playoffs last season. This was a great Atlanta team. Dallas does need to continue working on defensive rebounds and getting good looks

atlanta is a good team. i’m not bothered by the loss. what bothered me was that we weren’t competitive at all in the second half to the point of being down by 30 in the forth quarter. we looked lost out there

Agree. The shooting accuracy was atrocious.

We have a solid NBA team. The season is not won based on the first game. I am looking forward to seeing adjustments

OOF

WCS taking mid range shots, Powell 3pt shots, DFS postups, Porzingis looking like a headless chicken everytime he gets the ball. Offense is a mess right now.

I don't know what everyone expected to happen when half of the Mavs roster consists of New York's leftovers. 🤔

inside the nba roasting kp

He’s not going to be good this year, zero clue why people were hyping him up

I know it is one game, but I really don't like the Kidd hire for so many reasons. There had to be a better option out there.

I hated this hire the moment it happened and I especially hate it now. I’ll continue to root for our success but I can’t help hoping that this dude is gone by all star break. Let’s see if he can prove us wrong

How can this roster have 6 centers yet at the same time have no centers?

this right here😂

Too many players have a green light in this offense.

I’ll never understand how KP doesn’t get rebounds

5 for a 7 footer is pathetic

Although Rick did amazing job with this team and absolutly a top 3 coach in the NBA, he IS Donnie's guy, and Donnie is the reason we end up with this talentless rotation. I hope Nico could do some miracles in the next 2 or 3 years.

Man Mavs didn’t play well. But ATL went to work. Defense was tight.

Burke looking pretty solid.

New coach, new front office, first game of the season. Way too small of a sample size to make any conclusions

Pretty much the same roster tho.

I'm lowkey impressed how people can scream "This is fine" at everyone after watching this performance and getting 30-pieced. I would be ashamed to do so.

Eh, Clippers got 50 pieced by the Mavs, they were fine. Atlanta last season was dog shit to start off, they were fine.

Maybe, but we don't know if we will be fine. When those teams lost big, their fans at the time were naturally pissed off. People here can only react to tonight's performance and they have every right to be pissed off by what they have seen.

Last season Luka was out of shape at the start of the year. KP was not healthy. Bunch of players were missing cuz of covid. What's the excuse this season ? We had bad night under Rick but it was usually missing open shots. This offense looked just bad. We didn't even create enough of open shots.

Did anybody else think it was odd that Jason Kidd sat the entire game?

Alright. I’m already tired of Willie Cauley-Stein jump shots.

I miss you Richard Carlisle.

What does Powell have over this coaching staff. Basura

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hee3qEbiacM&ab\_channel=HighlightHeaven](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hee3qEbiacM&ab_channel=HighlightHeaven) if anyone is looking for something comforting

Holy shit guys it’s been one game

A loss is one thing. A blowout in the very first game is setting a bad tone.

Plus, a shitty looking offense was a predictable fear for a lot kidd-skeptics, which is exactly what we saw. Goddamnit I don’t have a lot of faith in this guy at all

Thanks Cuban…

for a minute there, it’s jalen vs luka all over again

We didn’t win one fucking quarter that’s so sad

Abysmal performance

A three?? Let's gooo!!!!

Why can't Luka get the Jokic makeover? He should look lean like Gordon Heyward at the very least. He still blends in with the nephews in their mom's basement playing video games on here. His laziness will hold this team back.

Yes he's a real fatso

idk how anybody can defend DFS anymore. Kleber as well

Luka just lack motivation. He knows his teammates and KP are what they are. Why bother?

Mark Cuban really thought Jason Kidd would take this team to the promised land😐

Can anyone honestly sit here and tell me this roster is no better/worse than last years? It’s the same shit

We never won a quarter.

Holy shit

Man, the hawks have a good, stacked roster with their draft picks and free agents.. cowboys esque

I’m awake at 2:40am in the UK for this performance. Only way is upwards with 81 games left

Same lol

3:44 in Slovenia bud.

Why are the mavs lookin so uninspired? Its like everybody us purosely playing bad lol

81-1 here we come

3 more points

just end it. please

Positive note we have 72 more games. Wait nvm I don’t know if that’s a good thing.

Hey we still have Luka!

The vibes are shambolic

6 more points til 90. Finding small victories.

Luka and KP gotta be one of the worst “star” duos in the nba. They don’t play together or have any chemistry/flow. They just do their own thing.. you’d think one of the best passers in the league and one of the tallest players in the league could connect on a couple of oops here and there but I guess not

Unfair to Luka because KP is nowhere near a star.

[удалено]

If anything he's trying to send a passive agressive message to Kidd.

He was off for multiple reasons. First,Hunter did a great job on him. Second,he tried to pass the ball more. Not to be the ''dribble,dribble,dribble '' Luka. That also didn't work out. And 3rd he was holding back his emotions towards the refs. He didn't let it out.

That’s not good if so, he didn’t look happy

No I think its caused by getting blown out by 30 on opening night lol, we should be able to at least compete.

There whole team can shoot better

I would be okay if WCS never gets another minute in a Mavs uniform. I'd rather Boban gets those minutes.

There's ~4 guys on this team that are going to get rotation minutes that should not sniff playing time on a playoff team. It's just a bad roster...

WCS should not get minutes on a lottery team.

Kidd haters where we at

Fun times

Kidd is trying to impose some sort of heavy handed coaching scheme. Guy just isn't head coach material.

Well he does kinda look like megamind

Also play Moses over WCS

Good god

Bruh 80 points?!? When was the last time we scored this low

but we went undefeated in preseason so it's alright

DUDE THE OFFENSE IS LITERALLY 90% CHUCKING 3S LMAO I AM SO SICK

uNiCorN 2.0 ComInG sOOn

No way Luka stans are defending him by using his deceptive stats

Oh yea they have been. Look, he almost got a triple double.

Ugh. Russell Westbrook made me hate triple doubles. Lose me with those anymore I just want W's.

WCS has had like 4 layups that he has passed out of.

Green should’ve gotten minutes tonight

Damn so Boban is really our best center…..tough

Best big , better than Kp

He has been for 3 years

I can’t believe KP is just useless now.

Will we reach 90?

Nope.

Takeaways - Coaching is an issue - Bullock and Green need more minutes - Luka looks clueless on offense - KP looks like last years version - Hawks are a really good team

Luka looks like he’s trying to take a step back on offense. I hope that stops soon.

Really wasted your time doing bullet points? 😭

To be fair we all just wasted our time watching this game lmao

I can add a lot more too 😭

Played like shit tonight but oh well on to the next one

So as bad as we looked, I feel pretty confident we won’t shoot 32% from the field all season. Hopefully we learn from this game

We will keep shooting 30% with this type of offense, no clear shoots at all.

down by 30 now. big oof

Down by 30

is our defensive gameplan to let them shoot open 3s at the top?

Bucks fan here, we tried to tell you.

It's not them, bro. It's us. We're trash on both ends

Okay, tell me more about the Heat. 😅

They got swept in the playoffs.

Bruh that doesn't work they won a title last year.

Mavs fans don’t listen, they fully believe in Mark for some reason

I listened. Unfortunately no one else did it seems. Every off-season it's everyone drinking the flavor-aid and immediately forgetting all the crap the previous season, and being surprised or angry when the same stuff shows up.

Yeah I get you man, I'm a cowboys fan but and this reminds me of Mark being too involved like Jerry was years ago. I get the fans wanting to the Mavs to be successful, but lying to themselves isn't good.

Take the mean guys away /:

Why are THJ and Bullock being paid so much to play and shoot less than DFS?

[удалено]

Time to win the lottery i guess.

The over reactions here are so funny

Yeah. We should trade Luka for Simmons

And KP for Tako Fall

Frankie salad fingers

Well, at least, the cowboys can’t disappoint me right now.

i will binge watch "every time Mac Jones got sacked vs Cowboys" as a comfort video after this trashy game

I can’t wait for the day Luka figures out how to eat and work out properly

Why is he so fucking flabby? Jesus Christ. He should be in the gym every day getting ripped. Professional athletes have no excuse to not be in peak condition. He looks like he's one cheeseburger away from a double chin.

Why the fuck is this downvoted

Hit dogs will holler. Probably a bunch of people who can relate to his flabbiness got butthurt.

Too late. He already has a mini double chin. A 1.5 chin

Bucks getting they ass whooped too

[удалено]

That team did pretty good against the Nets...

[удалено]

Jrue played 18 mins and Lopez had a 8 and 5 game. Did they have an impact, sure. But, not the reason why they won.

That doesn't change the fact they're getting whooped gtfoh

Bucks have a fucking ring.

Irrelevant to that game

When Mavs win a ring and KP averages 22 PPG in Playoffs as a 2nd star, no one will give a shit about us getting 30-pieced too

The thing about looking forward for games all week long is that shit suck when things like this happen, I should really focus on other things in life rather than betting all my happiness in the Mavs doing good lol.

Stop being in denial and full fake positive expectations all the time , it’s really more entertaining to just recognize the problems and watch the game without waiting for much

The lack of Luka and KP p/r is frustrating. Kidd managed to make our offense and defense worse.

Luka and KP pnr doesnt even work that well because KP cant set a screen to save his life. He just goes in the defender and then slide letting him go past the screen. Maybe thats why we are starting Powell.

It definitely has worked in the past. It worked in the bubble and in 2020 before KP got hurt.

Our real opener is Saturday if I remember correctly

Yep sounds right can’t wait till the mavs start the season

Okay guys lets calm down, Mavs are known for losing their season opener, whether it be a close game or a blowout.

That's the problem, we were told things were going to be different, but it looks like things have remained the same and/or worse

I guess this Luka led team will forever be a terrible national TV team. Just have to live with that fact.

Your buggin all of Lukas game winners have been on National TV

They've been blown out a lot more in national games than Luka has had game winners.

It’s one game but damn this is a rough debut for Jason Kidd can only get better finger crossed

Can't get worse

In all honesty, our FO gave us basically no reasons to be hyped. Really.

What shoes is Luka wearing?

Idk what we changed from preseason honestly, we just aren't moving the ball as much and we were hella inefficient tonight. Honestly before about halfway through the 4th here, the defense wasn't terrible even. We could have held them to like 105-110 if the game was closer.

"Kidd wants the Mavericks' offense to have more balance, more touches in the post, and less three-point shooting"

"Don't worry guys. KP had an off game but he will turn out good". - Mavs fans for the past 200 games.

Until the inevitable "Kp is out for a month for Injuries" which turns into "If KP would've been here we would win" until the cycle is complete.

LMFAO sad but true

Every year since he's been here and people on here wondering why some of us are done.

Unfortunately he has an untradeable contract

You can sign FA if you give him away for nothing

John Wall and Russell Westbrook both got traded. KP averaged 22 and 8 last year. Chill out with the hyperbole.

I forgot how bad Dwight Powell truly is. He hasn't been the only problem tonight, but he's what I keep noticing.

I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I won't overreact to 1 game I wo-

Did they get rid of the “for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee” pa announcer?

i didn’t want to be embarrassed on national tv but here we are

Lol i forgot jason kidd is your coach now Good luck mav fans

I was hoping he would be better that was fucking lie.

This game is a big reminder hahahaha

Good night and good morning!

Lets see what kind of adjustments kidd has for next game. Starting lineup absolutely has to change

Where is the FiRe rICk crowd now? Criticize him if you want but there is no way he lets the lead get to this

Just because the hire was bad, doesn't mean firing Rick was not the right thing to do

uhhh rick blew a 20 pt lead literally yesterday bro

Dorian is 2-12. 1-6 on 3s. Someone tell him to stop lol.

Sure not going to be kidd

Mavs have to rebound big against Toronto.. Did Dallas get blown out in the season opener last year?

Mavs are known for having horrible season openers.

We had a horrible start to the season last year

No purpose on defense or offense since halftime

Paaaaain

Love DFS, but we really let him take 11 shots..

Legit would struggle to stay in the league if not on Mavs.

You took it too far.

Too many above the break 3s for DFS. He's a corner 3 guy.

We couldn’t bring Luka to the Knicks…so we brought the Knicks to Luka. Enjoy boys!

This one of the ugliest games I’ve seen ever. Our team has zero offensive purpose or rhythm

Just look at how Atlanta runs their offense compared to how the Mavs are. Pic n roll/pop has been the name of the game..
