J Kidd hanging on to belief in his team in tough times is paying off. Focus on things that matter and positive contributions by his players. This thing is coming together.
Great win. Dinwiddie is a terrific facilitator and can go off at any time. Hope the Mavs push the pace more and put themselves in that position to get out and run by pressuring the ball more often (the way Grimes took that gamble slapping the ballbaway from Simons) so you see more of those outlets and slams.
This Mavs team now has gained great experiences from these 2 win streak. They could probably win many more games without Lukai as they develop trusts in each other. We have the deepest bench in the NBA so no trades needed.
Great point! Cato discussed this on a recent DLLS Mavs podcast, specifically discussing teams winning without their stars and the experience role players have gained to continue winning in spite of.
Something’s that’s going under the radar is how good omax is looking as an energy big he rebounds like Rodman I swear dude is crazy big and athletic I love his effort he’s still learning but if he keeps this up our biggest issue (PF) Is addressed from the inside that gives Nico even more leverage in deals even underrated plot line this year.
Yeah I watched him be wide open and ignored. A lot. I saw his frustration at the half expiring he was wide open and Hardy drives in for a brick. Hardy is great just needs better vision.
@@jesusfernandez573 you must learn the game. Watch the box score. No play for Klay? It's not true. How many plays for Klay? How many makes? How many misses? Klays misses are the only things limiting his play. Just like in Golden State. He's still working hard on Defense. I expect him to contribute a lot in the playoffs. When he is hot he will get lots of plays. Not when he is cold like tonight.
@ he's capable for sure. We still have a bunch of games to win to make the playoffs. Got to go with the hot hands. There's 2 Nuggets, then 2 OKC coming up. Klay minutes will depend on shooting %.
Klay Thompson never got written into the offense. He was brought here to be a decoy. Kidd is the worst coach in the NBA. Luka is the worst pg in the NBA from a team player perspective. Half of the team just stands around on the court and watches either Luka, Kyrie, Dinwiddie, or whoever is running the offense. They just stand there, and watch! And Klay, so to get some sort of play, ends up just shooting the ball anytime he gets to touch it, and he usually has someone in his face, because again, they just stand there. No cross court passing. No player or ball movement. These guys are all just trying to get recognition. Lively and Gafford are the worst passing centers in the league, good grief! Fire Kidd immediately!
They were all actually picking and cutting to the basket all game this time. They not good at it so lively and gaf was not trying to force a pass that's not there. But at least they tried to cut this game
@@g19kev that’s your argument? They tried things differently for ONE game and barely win against a lottery team. Brother you just proved my point. Acting like this team is just better without luka is absurd. Lively is actually one of the best passing bigs too btw. OF COURSE klay is a decoy. Kidd is in no way the worst coach in the nba. He’s not top 5 but he’s perfect for handling the egos of who we have and smart enough to get this team to two WCF and the finals. Trust me the grass is not greener in the coaching world. Basically every fanbase hates their coach besides Boston houston Miami and ORL. I shouldn’t be surprised, mavs fans always overthink shit when Luka doesn’t play. Oh we’ve been losing games without our MVP candidate and his top 25 player partner?! Crazy right?

Hardy and his “mmhm”s😂😂
So proud of Hardy! He has swallowed his pride and adjusted his mindset to be successful in the NBA in a way so many others haven't. He's got this.
Great win. Dinwiddie is a terrific facilitator and can go off at any time.

Wheels up on PJ Washington. Looks like he is the main man now
Shout out to y’all for uploading this earlier than normal
PJ is the 3rd Big Man for the Mavs Big 3.. Luka, Kyrie and PJ (Mavs Big 3)...

Thanks, Lively, for acknowledging Hardy! 🎉. I almost cried when he said the win was for his beloved mother.
Wish they would get Klay more involved but Im happy these boys are being resilient
He hasn’t been consistent
@mariadoloreszvab I dunno, seems like with Luka and Kyrie out it would give Klay the opportunity to get up more shots so he can become more consistent
I have always been a Hardy fan; folks say this and that but he was the top scorer and the last 4 games he scored more than most🎉
MFFL💙🤞🏽
🐎🐎
Play Klay Thompson!!! J. Kidd you are dumb as bricks play the G.O.A.T. shooter in the 4th 😡😡😡
No play for klay that’s why they struggle lucky they still won Kidd must replace a good coach

I'm not mad klay playing like some cold 💩 because I know he going to be the x factor in the playoffs 💯

He’s not consistent; does not make a lot of shots.

@@g19kev could you be more wrong 😂
@coltondodd3086 And what are you basing this off of? This one game where they at times tried to play differently, and won? Bro... 🙄
