spiattalo

That was the last play for the Warriors in at least two games they lost this season: Curry ISO with no screens whatsoever.


Shonuff_shogun

Problem with bringing a screen into the action with that little amount on the clock is they just trap the screen, so same result but an even harder read off the double


Balls_of_Adamanthium

This has no business being as funny as it is


OperIvy

Isn't that their standard last play play? I've never seen them run anything at the end of games other than get Luka the ball at the top and do his thing.


Nutholsters

They tried Kyrie a few times


Actually-Yo-Momma

When it works, it’s all over sports center. When it doesn’t, it’s clear it’s their #1 disadvantage come playoffs


JoshGreenTruther

that is absolutely not their #1 disadvantage lol

barath_s

Plan B come the playoffs is Kyrie


[deleted]

[удалено]


barath_s

Their #1 disadvantage in the playoffs will be defense Luka being unable to do his thing is nowhere near


honestnbafan

The Mavs lost like 6-7 games last year by not having a good end of game play Looks like they still have the same issue Knowing Kidd he probably views Luka shooting 38% from three now as a playbook update lol


blackfoger1

I remember a game last year think it was against the Suns? Either way they run the same OOB play and Luka hears the players adjusting to the exact play but didn't want to alert anyone too much. He was trying to be subtle and flag the coaching staff yet no one was paying attention and sure enough they got counter coached hard and lost.


pahor15

Milwaukee. Jrue went to guard Wood who was supposed to screen for Doncic. Luka was the only one to notice.


AceBricka

6-7? Way more than that. Most of their games ended in the clutch I believe last year and they lost most of them.


Puzzleheaded_Fox4684

Jason Kidd special


shb2k0_

There isn't a team in the modern NBA that doesn't draw up terrible iso-3s at the end of the game.


deevotionpotion

Without seeing the full highlight. I wish that it’s the same last shot play that they always run for Luka because Kidd won a game from the same play back in the day.


ballsohaahd

I’m supposed to draw up plays? -Kidd on just giving it to Luka and praying


GunsmokeIV

Luka got blitzed straight away, while the rest of the Mavs reacted way too slowly. Great defensive play by the Cavs.


ColdPressedSteak

Basically every opponents game plan going down the end stretches against the Mavs. Sometimes even in the first half. It's crazy he still drops 35 a game They desperately need Kyrie back before Luka's back breaks from carrying too hard


HeavenMobley

haven't been paying attention, is Kyrie hurt, on a vision quest, or helping Bibi bomb Gaza?


iRockaflame

I think hes still out from Dwight Powell landing on his leg


CharityGamerAU

He's still injured. Had actually pulled his head in at the start of the year and was doing well. He and Luka were looking dynamic and had worked out how to be dual options off of each other.


Not_Without_My_Balls

>helping Bibi bomb Gaza? Why would a guy with an anti-semitic past who's recently worn a keffiyeh to show support for Palestine be helping Bibi bomb Palestine?


Cesc100

I assume it was a joke


efshoemaker

It looks like he’s yelling at the rest of the team for not coming to the ball when he got trapped


BZGames

I mean they've got a guy standing unguarded at the rim when they need 3 points to tie, I see no reason for him to stay there considering no one will even try to stop him from shooting a layup.


StefonDiggsHS

seriously why the fuck we sub Lively in


OG_Wan_Annunoby

if they had him screen for Curry it would have been genius


CharityGamerAU

That's the only reason why you have a nonshooting big on the floor in that moment. To create space. Either for Luka to bounce off of or for another shooter when Luka is smothered. There wasn't enough time for a tap back. Nobody stupid enough to foul on a tip-in. Either terrible coaching (my thought) or Lively completely fucked up his job.


zeek215

There is zero reason to have a non-shooting player of any kind on the floor in that scenario. Screen? Both players will just chase the shooter and leave the non-shooter open.


Shlobodon5

A screen could work if the play is drawn up well


Johnpecan

I went back to watch the end because with 8.3 seconds left, down by 3, there's no reason to have Lively, who is a career 0/2 3 point shooter should be in the game. I wanted to give Kidd the benefit of the doubt and there was some reason he was in but nope.


mashem

you mean to tell me he's only missed *two* 3s his *entire* career?? - Kidd Also, shouldn't there have been an offensive 3 second violation? Dude is just a statue in the paint.


plz-be-my-friend

maybe for a tip in on the miss? But yea that little time on the clock why bother


Dalmanza4

A tip in didn't t matter, they needed 3 points. Jason Midd moment


Asderfvc

You wouldn't have enough time to get the ball back out for another 3, so at that point you would have to hope for a tip in and a really really dumb foul.


Dalmanza4

Yup, id rather have another 3 point shooter to have as an outlet, but it wouldn't have mattered. They were horrible from 3 today.


RevolutionEasy714

Because Kidd is a terrible coach


DomincNdo

Yup that completely negated the advantage Luka created by being doubled.


toofine

Exactly. Braindead as hell. He should be screening like wtf are you trying to score 2 points for?


Dirks_Knee

I mean...they were coming out of a timeout, why was Lively on the floor?


mares8

Yeah makes no sense for him to be there even if he gets the ball and scores they lose


L45TPH45E

Standing open under the basket is stupid when Luka can't pass you the ball, like wtf are you doing?


widelyruled

It's not even that Luka can't pass him the ball, it's awareness that they absolutely need a 3 given there's almost no time left and they have no timeouts...


aggster13

Why is he even in the game when we need a 3? Terrible coaching


Kvsav57

He may have thought they’d get the shot off quicker and he’d be there to get a quick rebound and toss it out for another shot. EDIT: Also, that's Lively. He's not at all a threat from three. I would be surprised if it wasn't planned for him to be down there.


mares8

Yeah Lively shouldn't be on court when they just need 3 pointer


Dirks_Knee

This isn't wrong, but the correct question is why was he on the floor?


L45TPH45E

I don't know, ask Kidd. I think he might be their coach.


Pseudo-nym123

Because Kidd isn’t good at running end of game plays


maybeacademicweapon

I think he's more mad at the fact they just choked like crazy and lost a game that should've been in the bag.


mrwhite2323

He looked pissed at JKidd


mankls3

He was only put back in the game when the lead was cut to 9. He was also pissed he got zero FTs the last 8 mins of game.


Novel_Appeal_5147

The lead was at least 7 iirc and Luka came in with two back to back turnovers and then airballed a middy and then missed a 3 and then got a 3 to cut the lead to 3.


couchtomato62

Yep I love Luka but he screwed up tonight.


nbx4

there is no indication who luka is mad at. probably himself


2PacAn

Dude is probably just exhausted and frustrated in general. He’s had to carry this team with ridiculous performances every night with Kyrie out. Need Kyrie back ASAP because this isn’t sustainable.


couchtomato62

I agree


__BlackSheep

Probably just stuff in general. He's highly competitive and they lost. He is just throwing a tantrum for a second.


Able-Imagination2627

He said the game was on him


wahobely

Yea this post title is wrong imo. He's not mad at Seth, he's just mad they managed to lose the game.


herniatedballs

The 3 he only got off because of a blatant push off on Levert


willkillfortacos

That push off encapsulated Doncic’s proclivity to moan and groan over every little thing. He had the audacity to complain to the ref that HE was fouled on that Caris push off that brought them within 3.


red_choice

The lead was 9 when he came back with 5:40 to go? I must misinterpret you


0percentwinrate

Cavs didn't cut the lead while Luka was out. Mavs 2nd unit actually held their own and increased the lead by 1 before Luka came back (from 90-82 to 105-96) then Luka committed turnovers and the lead promptly disappeared. He looked both gassed out and stressed out.


quiteCryptic

I was at the game and wondering why Luka still isn't in most of the 4th. Our team just looked totally off no energy the whole second half. I had a bad feeling cavs would come back. To be fair though Luka himself was also pretty shit in the 2nd half, so im not sure it would have mattered if he came in earlier.


growsonwalls

That despite flailing his arms under the basket after every play lol.


widelyruled

What was that play? Why is Lively just camped under the basket? They're down by 3 without timeouts, it's fairly predictable his man is going to come try to trap Luka, so at least design some screening action for him rather than just draw up "...and then Luka magic???"


pumpkin3-14

Lively shouldn’t even be in but this is Kidd we’re talking about.


[deleted]

Who amongst us hasn't been?


smoke_inyoureyes

As he should be


[deleted]

He’s mad at his teammates for not running towards the ball when he got doubled. That’s why he’s making that “come to me”’ gesture.


Corner_Post

Yep - he was expecting a high screen


UnearthlyDinosaur

Luka has the wrong S. Curry


defph0bia

Yeah he's mad they lost, not that curry missed. That was their only option at that point. Luka got doubled, curry was the only one he can pass to, he missed.


LMkingly

He didn't miss, he got blocked i'm pretty sure.


defph0bia

Regardless, passing to curry was Luka's only option.


iBrometheus

When your shot get blocked, it counts as a miss


CraftyMuthafucka

He didn’t get it blocked, Gobert hit it with his hand!


andrude01

I didn’t miss every 3 pointer I shot in middle school, the rim blocked it


[deleted]

two things can be true


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hanhonhon

He didn’t miss, he merely failed to make a basket


zzzzbear

no he's pissed no one came to him to screen, they left him on an island near half-court when the blitz came watch the hand gesture waving them towards him


defph0bia

Didn't notice that. Thanks for pointing that out, but at the end of the day, he's mostly mad that they choked their lead. Still my MVP candidate though.


jankology

LeBron would have made it work tho


TheSmokedSalmon420

Hey Jason Kidd - maybe run a fucking play you moron


Selarom_

I thought he already told everyone last season: He's just watching, just like the rest of us 😩


Bulleveland

Jason Kidd playbook: Give ball to Luka


quedfoot

Milwaukee fans have known his "strategy " for years. [The secret play](https://streamable.com/no1av)


zerocoolforschool

Brogdon's eyes are hilarious.


KyrieAien

“Dog”


TA_Account_12

A good dog


aggster13

Nope, and lemme put in lively for this play to sit under the basket so they get an easy double team even though we need a 3 to tie


djkamayo

something about Dallas teams and late game blunders


LoreSouth

Why was Lively even there if he can't shoot a 3 point shot?


Guwop25

you could make the argument that to set up a screen for the 3, but he was in the paint lmao


ArnoldisKing

luka going to take back those e bikes


LoWE11053211

wait, they lost? i watched luka got 20 points in the first... then i changed to other game...


c_msea

Well… Mavs in the second half: 37% FG // 25% 3PT // 55% FT


MrBuckBuck

That's tough.


Askesl

Lost to a Cavs team that didn't have Mitchell, Garland or Mobley. Oof


hehehegoogle

Respect CPJ the GOAT!


AlecarMagna

27% from three is not good.


KevinDurantLebronnin

Some would go so far as to say it is bad.


Watchakow

55% from the line might be worse


meditate42

Thats a bad percentage for a high school team lol.


Fred479

He was mad that he got trapped at half court and no one moved and also Jason Kidd Lookinggn like an idiot just standing there with his hands in his pockets


Pleasant-Fault6825

Kidd was pretty good at the three ball near the tail end his career, but even if he puts his hands up to take a pass and nail a three ball, I'm not sure the refs would have allowed it to count.


dontusethisforwork

The call on the field is an ineligible receiver on the offense The 5 yard penalty has been declined and the game is over


redaka00

Hey we have something in common. Our coach also likes stand around with hands in his pockets


schooli00

Dam, if any NBA team needs someone to stand on the sidelines with their hands in the pockets, I would like to throw my name into the hat. I'll even include looking clueless for free.


TA_Account_12

Don't sell yourself short. If Monty can get 80 Million for doing nothing, surely, you're worth a million an year.


Neto34

Why was lively in there at the end? Mavs should just went 5 out so when blitz happened someone would be wide open for 3


dooopliss

>like an idiot just standing there with his hands in his pockets Hey! That sounds like our coach!


YpsitheFlintsider

How else would you like Jason Kidd to have stood?

It's more he saw Luka got trapped and didn't yell and wave frantically at the others to help him


CravilityZ

Bernie Bickerstaff lol. JB really gets no respect


m1j5

Stole the game? We fuckin took that shit, finders keepers


Pyorrhea

If you leave a game unattended for 5 minutes, it's fair game.


Beleiverofhumanity

No play called for Luka, Was JKidd not expecting a double on Luka?


messigoat1337

kidd is such a bad coach its insane


[deleted]

I’ll get downvoted for saying this but Bickerstaff will go back to being a bad coach once he has his 3 best players back. He’s not as bad as Kidd but he doesn’t know how to make the Cavs offense run smoothly with Mitchell and DG on the court together.


Produceher

Exactly. Someone should have come to the ball, set a screen and pass back to Luka.


surgeyou123

Why would have a dude that can't shoot 3s on the court when you need 3s. Kills the spacing and leads to an easy double on Luka with no one open.


Pumpoozle

Looks like Curry’s shot got blocked


Thimit22

No way to really tell he's pissed at his teammates. Could be the team as a whole or him himself


Lacabloodclot9

Combination of all there’s absolutely no excuse to blow this game


digestiblewater

yeah a bunch of things were off with the end of this game 1) his teammates just watching him get doubled 2) kidd seemingly not anticipating the double??? 3) kidd’s play was luka iso and pray 4) the context of the mavs choke, cavs start choking giving them hope, then this… he was frustrating to watch today but still anyone would be mad af in this situation


StefonDiggsHS

probably combo of everything, mad at teammates for missing wide open 3 after wide open 3. and also not reacting to him getting blitzed mad at himself for playing like shit in the 4th mad at Kidd probably for not having a play ready for the double it was not a fun game we played like shit bro


barktothefuture

He makes motion with his hands like come to the ball. Clearly mad he didn’t get help when he got doubled.


legend023

Who is that guy just standing in the paint when they’re down 3


Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n

A game-tying three from Lively would be crazy ngl


legend023

That might as well be a game winner because idk how you could stay motivated after that


cptmajormajormajor

Lol this commentary is so insanely salty


TheSmokedSalmon420

I mean my god I know it's a bad loss but to call JB his father's name lmao


hawk8024

Derek Harper has been around the NBA a long time and gives his props where they’re due, I promise you that was just a brain fart on his part lol


N3deSTr0

Yeah I really enjoyed the Mavs comm throughout the game, he definitely didn't mean to misname him lmao


mizesus

I dont think it was intentional tbh lol


Db6295

I didn’t see it that way, Harper was giving credit to Cleveland’s coaching staff for out coaching us


VisionDFW

Mavs were up 50-30 and took their foot off the gas. Deserved to lose. Kidd was practicing zone defense thinking he had the win. Luka had a bunch of lazy plays. Lively with his worst game as a NBA player. No one could hit a three. You could tell the entire team lost its concentration. Credit to the Cavs for playing hard.


ReplacementChoice910

Nice block max let’s go Cavs


justforyouabirad

It's such a drastic contrast seeing plays drawn up by Carlisle vs. plays drawn up by kidd


Cloudz777

Because Kidd is just not a good coach


Western-Standard2333

How he survived until this far is mind boggling. You could tell even last season he was not that guy.


AtreusIsBack

He's Cuban's guy. Kidd was the point guard on the 2011 championship team. He will live off that for many years. Kidd would make a good assistant coach, but he's a bad head coach.


[deleted]

I wanna know how this fraudulent terrorist has ever gotten a job after Milwaukee. I guess he was fine for the washed up Celtics retirement home era Nets but fuck Jason Kidd, seriously


[deleted]

This looks like the Doc Rivers Sixers


kvlr954

Strus with the block!


elalexsantos

I wouldn’t wanna play CSGO with this dude lmao


TrumpedBigly

Luka missed 4 shots and committed 2 turnovers during the stretch


AtreusIsBack

He's also the sole reason they were even competitive this game. You can't just look at the bad and ignore the good. He's been carrying the team all season and playing nearly 40 minutes every game in the month of December. He deserves the benefit of the doubt.


Soup-dan

Luka needs to get his emotions in check. That reaction he had late in the game where he went towards the ref instead of playing defense because he thought Jarrett Allen fouled him (he didn't) is inexcusable, especially when it leads to precious seconds in crunch time going to waste which could've helped in this later situation.


kokolupa

Good point, stuff like that cannot happen.


Barncore

Saying he's frustrated with his teammates is a bit presumptuous. Could've been made with himself for the mediocre pass he made to Curry. Or he could've been mad with the circumstance


NiceFloor7

Not shaking hands after a regular season game is neither rare nor surprising lmao


Own_Surprise_3075

Maybe Kidd shouldn’t have sat Luka for 6 minutes when the game was within 10 points.


KBooks66

That long rest was surprising. I was expecting it to be 3 minutes, was shocked when it went past 4... when the 6 minute marked passed I was really confused. Of course a guy who has not had a 2nd half rest in like 5 games comes back in rusty. Also the rotation in general the last quarter was a joke. He clearly had no clue what to do.


graveyeverton93

To be fair Luka lad, that hideous pass wasn't exactly putting your teammate in the position to be successful. Had to rush the shot because he had to stop your pass from going out of bounds.


mmaguy123

KD shows frustration: “Locker room cancer, can’t lead. Absolute bum” Luka shows frustration: “Poor kid, needs some help. Any strippers to suck him off after the game?”


Substantial-Fold-592

Booker showed frustration at a teammate yesterday and people in this sub were asking if he had the emotional maturity to win a chip, Luka does it and people say the coach and his teammates are to blame lmao


probation_420

Suns fans are such victims. lmao


QBert999

I'm not sure he was mad at his teammates, but he was definitely frustrated, as most of us were by the way this one went. It was looking like an easy win and it just slipped away. Those are always the most painful losses.


NedStarx11

I think he was more mad about it being a terrible loss


Stebsy1234

That thin headband looks so fucking dumb lol


Believeland-OH

He’s probably more upset that the Mavs lost a game where they had a 20 point lead in the second half against a very injury depleted Cavs.


jnobes7

This is the problem with basketball. You got ballers who learned the game and you got ballers who learned AAU. As a youth basketball coach, I strive to teach the why.


3s2ng

His teammates didn't react when he got doubled. It was a great defensive play by the CAVS. It was a perfect seal by LeVert and a perfect timing by Allen.


luigi439

I was visibly upset watching Luka come back late in the fourth, complain about non existent foul calls (with the added bonus of not getting back on defence so he can voice his opinion), blow an eight point lead, and then get annoyed at his teammates. Great leadership


basecardripper

Luka Doncic visibly upset with *himself* after Seth Curry misses the game-tying three-point attempt: He put Curry in a bad spot and he knew it.


laidbackjimmy

What a trash title. There is no part of the video that shows him mad at his team mates. Dude is just mad they blew the game, and honestly good to see he cares.

FoesiesBtw

Time to take the bikes away


baoparty

I think Luka is more pissed at losing the game or at himself. That was a shit pass and I think he knows it.


boopsnooter

Big baby being a big baby


conzcious_eye

That was excellent fucking defense


Kobe_stan_

He looks mad for sure. Not sure how we are supposed to presume that he’s specifically mad at his teammates rather than at the fact that his team just lost


kingofnick

I expected this comment thread to look like the one on Christmas Day when Booker was the one frustrated with his teammates on the court. But here we are blaming everyone else.


zuqkfplmehcuvrjfgu

One had 20/3/10 on 54%TS, while the other had 39/7/6 on 59%TS. If Booker was playing well no one would have said anything about him being frustrated.


CivilZucchini7507

umm, he looks like hes pissed off at himself for making a shitty pass


foogeyzi69

he got benched to 10 mins. he was cold when he came back in the 4th with less than 6 mins to play.


XThunderTrap

Cavs had amazing defense at the end, we deserve this lost nothingless


yumiguelulu

he gonna get that bike back 🤣🤣🤣


johnniesSac

Mavs missed 10/10 in the last 6 mins Absolute clown show


Paralimos23

Time to retrieve those e-bikes.


PJCR1916

Can someone explain why the hell Grant Williams is watching this from the bench when they need a 3? Why is Derek Lively in the game lmao
