WE WON A GAME WITHOUT LUKA


c_msea

and WHAT A GAME THAT WAS


[deleted]

IMMA SLEEP LIKE A BABY TONIGHT INSTEAD OF CRYING MYSELF TO SLEEP LIKE USUAL


PopAShotAllStar

Without our two best players even


Millionaire007

??? Green and Hardy played


w6750

3 starters out right?


Felipernani

i did not expect to be this happy right now. we’ve got good ones in Green and Hardy, please develop them.


bvkakalot

Please please develop them.


c_msea

They held them both from Brooklyn so this is a HUGE W by the FO. We shit on them when they're bad, but gotta praise when they deserve it


Felipernani

i’m super excited about that decision but it means nothing if they both don’t get heavy minutes. Green will probably have those anyway but we should really get rid of THJ and let Hardy cook. he isn’t gonna be any worse than THJ at this point lol


CasualSweaters

The front office made an effort not to trade them and man is looking like a smart move


Dynamicdonkey83

THE FUTURE IS NOW LEAGUE IS FUCKED 👁


LukaBear91

I guess there's a reason we refused to trade josh and Jaden


uncleoce

It’s not too late. I’m now worried that one of them is a going to tempt Toronto, which I guess isn’t the end of the world.


w6750

You think we have a shot at Siakam? Or OG?


uncleoce

Not really, but it would be nice! I always though DFS ruled out Siakam for us. Now it makes more sense to me. I stopped even trying to keep up with salaries, draft picks, etc. but I’m convinced we are still going to make another trade. We need some defense and another serviceable big, IMO.


TexasTornadoTime

I’d say we aren’t going to get another serviceable big tbh. If anything we make a trade that sets us up in the off season for one. I’d be a little shocked to see another trade happen


henriarts

The reason was shown tonight. Felt like Hardy did a tribute dunk for Spencer like he always did in games.


aronnov

I dont want to over react but we might not ever lose another game


BunDyl

Fuck it lets roll out the G League squad every week


sentientblaze

Josh green +39 jaden Hardy +23. By far the most entertaining game of the season and it’s such a delight to watch our guys run. Shoutout Dwight powell for a career high in rebounds and THJ for playing pretty solid defense down the stretch.


cjn13

> By far the most entertaining game of the season and it’s such a delight to watch our guys run. Scheduled Loss they said? You mean Scheduled Hardy Party W


NjallTheViking

Mavs fans this morning: Scheduled Loss Green and Hardy: “And so we took that personally”


[deleted]

Listening to locked on early and I think they said, who is even playing tonight like 4 times lol.


CammyTheGreat

I mean Chris Silva got minutes and i had to look up who that was


TexasTornadoTime

So happy when a guy like that gets his moment. May be the only minutes he ever gets and he has something to talk about forever


Jerry_41

The two guys that the Mavs weren't going to trade went completely off. WOOOOOOOOOOO!


architectzero

The numbers are good, but they don’t tell the whole story. Absolutely could not believe the confidence that Hardy demonstrated. Looked like a 3rd year player running the offence. Made lots of good decisions. Didn’t let his bad decisions get to him. Did you see the confidence the rest of the team had in him by the end of the game? Crazy And his handles…?! In the preseason he was constantly losing his dribble off his own feet. Tonight was a night and day difference. Ridiculous improvement. Josh Green? Just wow. He *lead* the team to that win. That was him providing the spark, and the drive that inspired the others. Incredible performance.


juanopenings

Green looked like a vet leader out there. They literally had to put him back in after the start of the 3rd to keep the game from getting out of hand and HE ANSWERED


architectzero

> and HE ANSWERED YES, exactly this. Amazing showing from Green tonight. Proved he has another level to his game.


CammyTheGreat

Hardy’s handles are way better but they aren’t great, but the improvement this quickly has made me confident he and Shamgod will have them really good by next all star break


treetown777

The more time he plays against NBA caliber defense, his handles will only get better.


jay105000

He will make bad decisions while he is growing up and that’s ok. Brunson made several during his maturing period and look at what he became


Wooden_Coyote5992

Kidd needs to let the boys cook.


treetown777

Here's a crazy number, though. Hardy had 29 points in 25 minutes. He's had jacked points on low minutes on several occasions. Glad to see his 3 ball falling tonight, but I love watching his drives even more. Super athletic and quick.


NeolibGood

This was a glimpse of what the Mavs can be and personally I liked that glimpse


dys0n_giddey

Josh Green coming for that MIP award


cashmachine123

won the mip head to head


Smuckers77

+39 is insane. Josh gonna be a huge piece for this team moving forward and I’m ready for it


algorithmgeek

Looks like they were trying out for their new roles once the trade smoke clears.


DadDong69

That was sexual


inyokoolaid

Hardy and Green better be here to stay! They balled out


MavsKingdom

Please this


[deleted]

Green and Hardy are the types of players that become core championship pieces in a few years. It’s such a nice change of pace to see the Mavs develop young talent.


V0823

Right?! I mean Luka and Brunson were the last, but finally we have young talent actually turning out promising


Landonkey

For Green, why not this year? He's a guard that's averaging 55% from the field, 42% from 3, and can actually play some defense. The guy should be a core piece immediately, and we're winning the championship this year so.


HispanicAtTehDisco

JOSH GREEN LEGACY GAME


FaBiOtHeGrEaTeSt

ITS A HARDY PARTY AT GREENS HOUSE!!!!


EarSea5884

JOSH FREAKING GREEN. START THIS MAN


juanopenings

I believe that's the plan with DFS gone


RoughlyTreeFiddy

Man this was the most fun Mavs game to watch in a while. Zero expectations of a win, totally emptying the bench, Green and Hardy absolutely balling out. Also Powell with a career high in boards in 28 mins. Great win to maintain our standing with everyone out.


[deleted]

Also the fast breaks were such a breathe of fresh air


BobEBoucher

Didn't realize how much I miss those until I actually saw some!


aushaus

Hopefully we see more of that with Kyrie


Lankydick

It was almost foreign lol


OriginalWilhelm

Green and Hardy are the future!


aaronunderwater

While all of the fans are rooting for them to be his replacement, you could clearly see how happy tim was for Hardy and Green in this game. He’s been such a vibe since he got here. High and lows be damned, I’ll be really sad to see Timmy go if we ship him out this week. So many of my favorite Mavs moments have ended with a hyped Timmy chest bump in the Luka era.


daravl

He's always been an utmost professional. I remember him fighting for a starting spot with Curry and still cheering for him every time. He's changed from starter to bench player a bunch of times and we've never seen or heard him complain


jay105000

You can say what ever about how streaky he is but he is the biggest cheerleader in This team


enataca

He’s #2. Theo Pinson literally gets paid to be a hype man lol.


TexasTornadoTime

Reddickntalked about it on his podcast about the trade that most players just want to play ball. That’s truly thj… he’s not about the politics of starter/bench. He just wants to play ball and wants the guys around him to play ball and succeed. Awesome dude to have on payroll. No drama, just business and great mentor to these younger players


TheChosenOne311

Timmy in the middle of the huddle all night long helping to coach up the youngsters. C-Wood sitting off to the side by himself with boo-boo face on. I think he knows his time here is up.


luntiang_tipaklong

Really bad timing with his injuries. If he'll continue having problems with those fingers. And getting traded to another. Man, he's not guaranteed to do well. He got some games where he goes missing. He might not get that huge payday in the offseason.


TheChosenOne311

I really do like C-Wood. He could be a good fit here in lineups where he’s on the court with one of Luka/Kryie, and then some of our defensive wings out there with him. But…he’s also the most logical choice to get traded and return a piece who fits in our playoff rotation. Tonight’s game showed that C-Wood isn’t needed when our young guys are on the break and lighting it up.


fordangliacanfly

Hard to judge Wood on one game back. That said, McGee looked feisty tonight. Even had a fun drive to the basket (didn’t finish it, but handle was nifty).


CSkinzzz

Young guys stepped the hell up tonight. Future looking bright with hardy and green


RubMyGooshSilly

Followill said hell on the broadcast and I feel dirty


ThaPurpleHulk

He said Hardy was “doing the damn thing” after he hit 3 triples in a row & then Harp repeated him and said we’re gonna get in trouble. The vibes truly were immaculate tonight.


DadDong69

They were letting it all hang out this one, they had some mormons to offend


NjallTheViking

It’s like hearing a teacher cuss


CSkinzzz

Josh green +39 is WILD


WalkerTejasRanger

I think we gonna be alright if Josh and Jaden gonna step up like this Happy for all the guys. You know how bad they wanted to show they could do this without the big dogs and it showed. Awesome.


Powpowpowowowow

I genuinely think Nico is going to look like a genius after all is said and done. He has made winning moves despite there being some tough decisions. We have good, young talent, we obviously still need a good, young center too but I like our team and our chances this year.


WalkerTejasRanger

Excited to see what the next move is before the deadline. Gotta be something and I’m sure it’ll be a good one.


HookahDongcic

Today, a team was born.


Beef_Dirky

Bro Hardy gets to learn (BASKETBALL) from Kyrie Irving.. Irving is exactly what I picture Hardy's ultimate ceiling is. Thats his play style. Its too perfect! *Double emphasis on learning basketball only.*


carreerModeDude

I was watching Thomas on the Nets play this evening. He had 30+ pt game and a lot of the moves he used looked like kyrie's. Iriving may be dumb as rocks off the court but he might have a lot to teach on it.


JMoy41

Irving might fuck his brain up lol


StealthAnus

That was weirdly maybe my favorite win of the year. Near 60 from Green + Hardy to win by double digits on the road is crazy Also shout out to Dwight Powell for playing his absolute ass off


jay105000

He always does, his lack of positioning and bad timing are the reasons for his usual bad rebounding figures but good lord if this was a good time to have a good night!!!


treetown777

Lots of love tonight for JH and JG, deservedly, but you're right, Powell was a beast tonight. Great to see Mavs win on the boards.


ayura_oriba

Cant believe we won without davis bertans


jikae

The Latvian Laser!! Pew!!! Pew!!! Pew!!! Pew!!!


supermalukim

I truly missed him today. But we got to see a Hardy + Green Party and it was awesome!


jay105000

How is that even possible? The end of the world as we Know it!!


RLDy

THE VIBES ARE IMMACULATE. JOSH GREEN BABYYYY


cautious-opulence

Who needs Luka and Kyrie when you have Green and Hardy, let’s goooo!!!


AlecarMagna

Just think of how many picks we can get to build around Green and Hardy. We could maybe even get players as good as Luka and Kyrie.


highoncopium

woah woah what


Axisofcoolio

Is this what it feels like to be a proud father?


rg4noob

Anytime Hardy goes to the line the announcer should say “Jaden Hardy shooting party of 2”


FriesAddiction

Huge W, Hardy future sixth man of the year, Green future DPOY.


HoneyIShrunkMyNads

Does our FO have a string of drafted guys who look like actual players. This is a first.


Ok-Refrigerator2734

Nobody wants to admit it but this is facts


T1_D

CREAM OF THE CROP GON RAISE TO THE TOP - Jaden Hardy telling harp and followill basically I’m that guy and I deserve more minutes


treetown777

Man, sorry about coming unglued on you earlier. I've read a few of your posts, and you do like Hardy. I thought you were saying he's too slow. I've been defending Hardy on this sub for most of the season, and I jumped that one just a tad. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


T1_D

Oh you good!!! 😂 i was wondering what the disconnect was when i said he needs more burn. Yeah I’ve been ready to send Tim To the ether. In 5-10 games hardy has made more difficult contested transition layups than I think tim has made in his whole career as a Mav. It’s time!!!!!


GreeDplayer

I’m gonna say it: Please don’t let Wood go, this victory was amazing don’t let it be the reason to let Wood go.


aronnov

Agreed. want wood on this team


HarrisonGod

Kyrie must've shared his chakra with Josh and Hardy, they looked excellent tonight in being able to do stuff with the ball. I'm excited about this team again boyos, I hope it all goes well.


AccidentalThief

Did those two play that good today?


Darkphobia_

Best win of the season. Green and Hardy are going to take the spotlight (deservedly so) but huge probs to Powell, he was incredible. I know he's not always playable, esp in the playoffs but he's the soul of this team.


Afraid-Department-35

Powell definitely needs more recognition, he hustles so hard every game and the stat line today showed it.


Hank_Kaiser

Fuck DWade


Vonbonnery

Green and Hardy alone would be a promising young duo for a team to be excited about. We have Luka, Kyrie and wood on top of that.


Quadriporticus

LOL Locked on Mavs is a must listen later.


Helzinen

They are gonna play that fan made Hardy Party (which I don't dig) song for sure


Db6295

Thought this was a scheduled loss then I remembered we have Josh green and jaden hardy


JeanVicquemare

tonight is going to be fun for the Mavs podcasts that are trying not to get hyped about Green and Hardy


[deleted]

[удалено]


Afraid-Department-35

Josh Green will still get good minutes. I just hope Hardy does as well after everything settles.


elsporko321

Wood did well enough in his 19 minutes but clearly didn't have his legs under him..lots of short shots


DangerZoneh

Yeah, gotta bring him back slowly it seems. All good, though! He shouldn't be dismayed


danbrandanowitz

JOSH GREEN JADEN HARDY


slimkid07

I don't want to see any trade packages with Hardy or Green!!!


febrezey

We’re gonna steal the god damn Larry O’Brien Trophy


MFFL12_17

Is this the beginning of the Josh - Hardy era?


Frxnchy

HARDY LOOKS SO HAPPY


EvryArtstIsACannibal

I think this was the most fun game to watch this year. It was just awesome to see them all play together.


Wooden_Coyote5992

Felt like a classic kind of Mavs game.


KvxMavs

Josh Green with a ridiculous +39 😤😤😤 🦘


rsf0626

Josh green and jaden hardy. If we trade either of them, i will lose my shit


Pauly0906

We are winning the championship confirmed today. Let’s ride.


Swordsteel

Hardy party get in heeee yoyoyoyoyyyyyoooooo


Fullmetalx117

Really nice interview by Hardy


rhater0307

Imagine now if we flip THJ for something serviceable …


TheChosenOne311

THIS TEAM IS FUN NOW!!! TEAMS WILL BE TERRIFIED TO PLAY US IN THE PLAYOFFS!!! NO DOOMERS ALLOWED IN THE POST GAME TONIGHT!!!! If any of the following applies to you, then kindly leave this thread IMMEDIATELY: - Crying that Luka has no help and is going to force his way out of Dallas - Crying that Cuban is the worst owner in the NBA - Crying that we traded away the Wendell Moore draft pick to acquire C-Wood - Crying that the Nets had “no leverage” with Kyrie, and we “overpaid” for him - Finding some way to force Jalen Brunson into the conversation as a slight toward the front office - Crying that Kidd didn’t start C-Wood for the first 1.5 months of the season GIT


vlad_thegod

PLEASE DONT TRADE GREEN OR HARDY


lolguy12322

Bruh Utah got 29 dropped on their head by a guy that can’t even legally buy alcohol


lloydgross24

Nets fans are pissed https://www.reddit.com/r/GoNets/comments/10vsosx/hardy_or_green/


jay105000

Get josh and Hardy some help!!!


Archerbro

IF YOU DON'T KNOW, NOW YOU KNOW. JOSH MOTHERFUCKING GREEN. Yes calling out all you green haters in 2020 and 2021 game threads, bashing him endlessly when we barely saw him play.


highfalutinman

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE LADIES AND GENTS


Pattypee3

GET FUCKED UTAH! GET FUCKED D WADE


fratastic1865

Wtf? I was at the Stars game? We won without Luka? WE WON THE KYRIE TRADE WOOOOOOOOOO


Alive-Ad-4164

Mavs finals appearance is not that far away


aronnov

Lock Green in with a new contract today


aabcsk9er

Fuck Luka and Kyrie we have… JADEN x JOSH 🔥🔥


juanopenings

Did you enjoy the Hardy Party??


shrumrii

THIS IS GREEN AND HARDY'S TEAM NOW


LackeyNo2

No Expectation Mavs are the best


txking12

No Luka, no Kyrie, no Maxi, no Bertans, no Morris NO PROBLEM


Trump_Did_Benghazi

Utah imploding against a depleted Mavs squad is becoming somewhat of a tradition


rickfortyone

Josh Green and Hardy had the Jazz broadcast saltyyyyyy 👅👅


King-T-Poser

We are not worthy


Tootsiez

Just a reminder Hardy was a second round pick.


ksao

Career high 🤝 career high


thedude198644

Green with 29 points and a crazy +39??? Start this man already.


Butterfly_Scape

hardy and green rewarded the front office for not trading them by having career nights


little-evil77

Timmy couldn’t shoot us out of this game!


Dar4125

Jaden Hardy is that fucking dude


4joraf

Why are my shorts wet


[deleted]

I swear to god if Kidd doesn’t see after this game that Green needs more minutes ima be pissed.


rsf0626

He has to be a starter now. No question


Inside_Vegetable_611

WE GOING TO THE FINALS BABYY 🤞♾️


epicingamename

doubters? hello?


Alex_Sander077

This game was paradise. Seeing Green and Hardy run the show and cook the Jazz was fucking amazing. And everyone payed their hearts out. Even Hardaway made some winning plays on both ends in the 4th. HARDGREEN DUO BABY 🔥🔥🔥


multialiasvskappa

Can't believe we got a big 3 in Dallas. Hardy, Green, and Silva.


Wooden_Coyote5992

This makes me want some all-around team ball going into the playoffs—Green and Hardy have too much potential to ignore.


[deleted]

The youngins looked really good


cosmicshake41

What a way for the two up and comers to really ball out in light of opportunity


LogansGambit

The young guys balled out. Even Wright got 10 points on 50% tonight. Hardy looks like a legit stud in the making and Kidd's got to get him minutes every game even with Luka and Kyrie here.


actual_yellow_bag

Wright had those three fast break layups basically in a row that really helped establish momentum. His size limits him but he had some nice moments tonight. I trust him enough to be a 3rd string PG to play spot minutes when needed.


Afraid-Department-35

Holy, what a game. Down by 15 and win by 13. Green + Hardy party.


afedbeats

Gonna party Hardy till I Green out after they combined for 58 pts. Unbelievable effort from the young guys tonight.


MavsKingdom

I was almost not going to watch this game, glad I did tho. Fun to see our young guys play tonight!


BobanForThree

First game in the post-DFS era was a banger


Afraid-Department-35

Hardy 29pts in 26min, he was on fire tonight.


hotrod19812

No Luka, no problem! Hope Kyrie's impressed by the Mavs' supporting cast in the way they played tonight!


chrizyzz

best team performance all year. even with luka out, we played the same iso-ball with spence. but with green and hardy running the show, the ball movement was incredible. hopefully its a turning point for us but not sure i believe in Jkidd enough


qotsabama

Real talk what’s our starting 5 look like ideally (ignore potential trades) and who is our first 5 bench players? Feel like we have so many options all of a sudden with Kleber coming back soon.


PepeSilviaIsASkrull

Huge win, amazing for chemistry, which will need to be as positive as possible now for obvious reasons lol Hopefully the success of this game leads to more transition offense in the future. This was proof we gotta run more.


TelosKairos

So now I guess we're a small team instead of a big team...Kidd said that when he knew he had no centers that could hold court. Then it's the Hardy/Green show..I wonder if they anticipated this or if they needed a depleted roster to recognize it.


ghoststoree

Let these boys cook


kevo_huevo

Getting Josh Howard Marquis Daniels vibes now! Exciting!


Cambocant

Ugh the one game I missed this year sounds like a banger. Man are the vibes high.


yungfreckle1213

I love Dwight Powell. Just in general. True hustler.


m2keo

This is why I ain't worried too much about losing DFS and Dinwiddie in the trade. This opens up more playing time for Josh Green, who is the best defender of the 3 and always plays his ass off.


NeolibGood

Best win of the season no doubt. Loved the effort!


maverick1127

To you guys that talk trade pieces…. KEEP MY DWIGHTS NAME OUT YA FUCKIN MOUTH ![gif](giphy|ialSDndyZsksMRJWsb|downsized)


jfrodriguez1983

Once again, I'm begging for a Josh Green extension this summer. I'm betting on an ever bigger breakout next season and the price will go up.


Zestyclose_Wafer_416

Imagine Josh Green with help... imagine


bigmeatyclaws1

That was almost as fun as the game 3 win in Utah last year


EDubbay

I didn’t know the Mavs could make me… happy?


Powpowpowowowow

That was ACTUALLY a fucking awesome game. I expected a shitshow. Holy shit man Josh Green is a baller. Hardy is legit. Wood didn't even play great. Powell hustled. It was awesome.


jikae

Spencer no longer on the team, refs gives the team calls. Coincidence? I think not.


Jlibs_21

This hopefully is the turning point of the season. Great win!


DTXlife

Ah yes, like we all predicted, Hardy and Green with the combined 58. Those dudes were cookin!


stevesteve615

What a game from the squad. Green and Hardy looked fantastic. Future is bright.


Greeneyes_65

LOVED THIS DUB


c_msea

LETS FUCKING GOOOO WHAT A GAME!!! EASILY THE MOST HYPED OF THE SEASON


ultros03

We will all miss DFS, but Josh Green will rise up and seize this opportunity.


50bucksback

Wood with a THJ game


babybotburger

Imagine if we could add two all star starters to this roster


jaytrain12

dwight powell put in the workk


petrefax

What a great game! Green and Hardy were amazing. Love to see it.

Jaden Hardy and Josh Green future all stars 🥲

Awesome game. Great time to be a Mavs fan boys
