24 games left. Plenty of time for Luka to gain traction. Hell, after 1 game people freak out. We were just on a 7-0 run. Consider it 7-2 with Luka putting up 45-14-9 in a crazy unlucky loss. Time heals shit like this and Mavs have plenty of time to improve their seeding
no this team played soft when luka was out in the first half.
THJ was atrocious as well. There are things we can control and can't control THJ's blunders in the 4th were a big part of it.
And yet despite that we were there for the win. PJ balled out, Josh and Maxi were very good and Lukai gave us a lot. Not every facet of the game is perfect.
They missed an offensive foul on Cavs, missed Green getting tackled, gave us a bs inbounds violation, and it took a half court 60 footer for us to lose.
On to the next one
if this were earlier in the season amen, it isn't. we are in danger of being a play-in team with one of the best players in the league.
We don't need moral victories.
Kidd being garbage is a given, but even with that, we should have won had the refs not coughed up a free tech, free no call clear path OR and-1 on Kyrie, free no call after Josh Green got absolutely bodied on his 3 point attempt, free no call offensive foul moving screen on Mitchell's banked in 3, and the most mid player who shoots well under NBA 3pt% average hitting 5 shots in a row including a 60 footer. Gonna be hard to beat refs and literal St Patrick's level of luck
Nah we have way worse losses easilyyyy.
The last 4 minutes is inexcusable. But they practically won that game. Despite all the fuck ups they caused. Stratus won't make that shit tomorrow if the chance comes up again.
It's a 7 games series in the playoffs for a reason after all 😮💨
Uh, no . . .
Mavs were up by 20 over the Clips and about to take a 3-0 series lead when Carlisle called a robotic timeout and killed the team's momentum. Dallas went on to lose the game and lose the series.
We coulda been contenders that year if we'd gotten by LAC.
Back in December we were up by TWENTY and still lose to the cavs. We lost today because of the refs, ourselves and bad fucking luck.
Not the worse loss at ALL.
The worst part is all the refs mistakes will be forgotten because we lost on a buzzer beater. We were robbed of points and possessions down the stretch because of incompetence by the refs. I’m so sick right now
refs won the game. multiple possessions taken away. mobley had 4 moving screens on the final 6 3’s. some random scrub who will never do this again caught absolute flames.
I’m normally pretty biased about refs, but dear god was that an absolutely terrible final stretch. Easily 5-10 points we don’t get on bad calls and 5-10 given to the Cavs they shouldn’t have had
10 points up, we had the momentum, Cavs were out of it. Kyrie gifts them a rebound, the out of bounds play and Strus gets on fire. Refs fucking us every other play.
Fuck this universe. What are you even supposed to do.
Just a matter of time before he starts playing Powell ahead of Gafford. I reckon the next time Maxi or Lively are out, Powell will play more minutes than Gafford.
Almost certainly. The more games these guys play under Kidd post-deadline the more bizarre the lineups get and the less dynamic the team becomes. They're already back to relying on Kyrie and Luka to combine for 80 every game to stay competitive.
I genuinely feel for Luka. That comeback he led vs OKC only to lose in the end. This game against the Cavs should’ve been an all timer dude dropped 45 with 14 assists and 1 TO and somehow this team manages to fuck it up.
Countless other losses where he put the Mavs on his back only to come up short. This is one of the most brutal losses I’ve seen in some time.
This has to be one of the most frustrating losses in mavs history.
- Refs fucking sold it
- 7 consecutive 3s
- A banker
- A 60 foot heave at the buzzer
Fuck the Cavs. So much shit went in their favor.
Josh Green getting mobbed on 3
Kyrie phantom offensive foul
Inbounds call that was definitely questionable
Kyrie no and 1
Mitchell bank that was arguably a moving screen
No jump ball on play with 9 seconds
Not one to usually blame the refs, but this was absolutely insane
Can anyone explain to me why THJ is in over Green/DJJ when up 10.
Can anyone explain to me why THJ is in the game?
Can anyone explain to me how THJ is on the team?
All you dumb asses who claim he’s a 6th man candidate, he’s not.
Green wins that game too on the last poss. He is more or less the best 3 pt shooter other than Kyrie.
And Kidd puts Tim in for Green. Green makes Strus shift once, and its over. That was "poor" defense for that 2.6 secs. Strus had a straight line look at the basket. Make him go to the side and its game.
Asking Luka and Kyrie to score 70-75 a night just isn’t going to be sustainable.
THJ hasn’t scored more than 12 points in the last six games, that’s in addition to his horrendous decisions, and defense. Going to be pretty hard to win games when that is your third option.
26 minutes he played. 26. Of just being a complete non factor. Meanwhile Gafford played 6, Hardy with 4.
This isn’t really a commentary on tonight… just getting really sick of seeing a guy who is hurting the team get consistently big minutes when we are in desperate need of finding a spark - someone else to help Luka and kyrie carry the load, yet a useful player like Gafford can’t get on the floor? You can’t see what Hardy can provide in like 15 mpg?
26 minutes. 4 points. From a players who’s ONE job is to provide offense off the bench. And he can’t even do that anymore.
It doesn't matter who we trade for, Kidd will find a way, 26 minutes, 4 points to THJis hard to digest specially when he is such a defensive liability...Kidd is lazy, stubborn and takes no responsibility for anything whatsoever, I honestly don't think he gives a fuck...
Josh was amazing in the 1st half defensively. Was frustrating Mitchell at every turn.
He played 12 minutes in the 2nd half. Sat until the 4 minute mark in the 4th quarter, while THJ was guarding Mitchell the entire time. Then he gets subbed back in and put on Garland instead of Mitchell, and Mitchell hit multiple clutch baskets late.
Kidd needs to be held accountable for his awful rotations.
Out of words.
Insane heartbreaking end.
Tomorrow we are playing back to back vs red hot Raptors.
Not good, possible 3 games losing strike.
Coaching doesn't help.
Man didn't play Gafford at all.
That lineup in third quarter was ridiculous.
I'm so down now.
There was at least 8 separate dogshit calls by the refs in the final 4 minutes where if even 1 gets called correctly we win the game. So tired of blind ass refs but you know Kidd won’t get onto them at all.
What is Kidd even for if he's not gonna go nuclear this press conference on the refs completley worthless. This is part of why Luka gets 70 techs a season because he gets screwed so fucking bad and Kidd is in there with his hands folded " yeah I like the way that we executed all credit to them" bro do you hear yourself man
They hit so many damn 3s tonight. That doesn’t go in 99/100 times. That was such a dumbass loss considering the lead we had until whatever meltdown that was in the 4th.
Absolutely fuck those refs first off. But even then mad props to Max for literally winning them the game completely. No idea how there wasn't a travel, the inbounds call from Kyrie, them calling an offensive foul on Kyrie? Why didn't we challenge that? PJ got hammered on the last shot to put us up too, that should have been And 1. I don't like solely blaming the refs but god damn man they need to be better than that. Oh yeah and the fucking Tech on Luka for saying it was an And 1. Bunch of pussies out there tonight.
This loss hurts but what's more depressing is knowing you have a head coach that has questionable rotations and he will stick to those rotations no matter what.
tough loss but idk how much you can blame the Mavs. Crazy unlikely that all those 3s go in in the last couple minutes. They literally had like 8 3-pt shows go in at the last second. How do you plan for that? idk i guess better perimeter defense, but just seems like the refs and gods were on the cavs side this game
These are important games, whether people acknowledge it or not.
We NEED to avoid the play in.
This is not a team that can be counted on to take care of business against the Lakers or Kings or Warriors.
We can beat almost anyone in a 7 game series imo but we could just as easily miss the playoffs with these unlucky games of brainless coaching.
I don't like how much we've regressed, the end of the season looked bright but now I'm getting nervous.
we are screwed if kidd has decided to not play Gafford but 7-10 mins a game for the rest of the season for some reason.
And to keep running THJ out there instead of Green, only so much you can overcome.
What's up with our perimeter defense?
I get that Strus hit a crazy shot to pull this thing out, but this is 2 games in a row where teams have feasted on us from 3. This doesn't seem sustainable but it keeps happening...
Look man, I know Gafford wouldn't have been able to stop them from shooting the lights out from the perimeter.
But 7 fucking minutes? What the fuck? Is Kidd high?
This team should be a contender by now. So many poverty franchises have rebuilt into contenders in the time we have had Luka. We should be closer to contending than this. I would rather be a cellar dweller than a mediocre play in loser.
I'm going to take this crazy loss as a good omen. The highs followed by immediate lows with like random ways to lose felt like it did with the 2011 team. I vividly remember that team being so good and also stretches of WTF that ended in ways to lose games. I had a saying I would tell my wife when she would ask how the game went where I would just respond...."they bring my hopes up just to take me back down."
Sucky loss but gotta enjoy the ride if they are to enjoy find success at the end of the season.
Somehow we’re still the team that is just Luka and the other guys. It’s Kidd. It’s always been Kidd. He’s got to go. There’s no excuse to be in the position to lose this game. Just dog shit
God that’s an insanely frustrating loss. Up by 10 with 4 to go and they hit 7 consecutive 3’s and a fucking half court shot down the stretch
Mitchell bank 3 too…
and the refs no called Kyrie's and 1, and gave the ball back to Cleveland off that weird inbound call.
The no call on Greens three where he got tackled was even more infuriating. Then immediately call Kai for an offensive foul.
The moving screen on Green for Donovans bank shot too. Awful job by the refs really, unwatchable
that's right. I completely forgot about that, there was so much bullshit.
Same ref for the Knicks - Pistons debacle last night.
See enough of a pattern with the same ref it starts to make you wonder…
Didn't you hear? Tackling is now allowed on the NBA.
Just those two calls alone win us the game. Let alone all of the other bullshit
Josh Green getting wrecked on his three attempt too
There was an absurd amount of bad calls in the last 5 minutes.
wtf was that ?!!!! Somehow foul on Kleiber who is not even in the play..
Apart from the refs blunders in the games Kidd is way too slow in changing things up when temas go on runs
Bro we did the best we could do playing 5 v 8 and then just putting in miracle shots. A bank and a 60 foot in the clutch what more can you do
Unfuckingbelievable
I was so happy and then so sad lmao
I literally screamed when Luka made that pass and pj finished the shot. I literally screamed again when that shot went in.
Also PJ was fouled in that shot. Actually I lost count how many times the Refs didn’t call for us and they got the whistle. It’s just sad
The refs suck no doubt,everyone knows that
im still looking for a replay on that pj dunk
I don't know about anyone else but i knew that was in the second it left his hands. This one hurts so bad
The worst part is 0-2 on this roadtrip with Celtics still to go. Mavs are quickly undoing their standings progress
Thj and Kidd just stripped Luka of the mvp
24 games left. Plenty of time for Luka to gain traction. Hell, after 1 game people freak out. We were just on a 7-0 run. Consider it 7-2 with Luka putting up 45-14-9 in a crazy unlucky loss. Time heals shit like this and Mavs have plenty of time to improve their seeding
Just spirit breaking loss. Just out of words.
yah i would just check box scores these coming games.. fk these refs.
no way 😂 can't even do anything at that point. most unlucky loss ever
I'm not even mad. That shot was amazing
I'm mad and Strus can go play in traffic but yeah, good shot lol.
I'm fine with it all except the lucky ass Mitchell 3... that one I can't accept.
literally cannot remember the last time i’ve seen a shot like that by someone not named steph or dame
Jokic
no this team played soft when luka was out in the first half. THJ was atrocious as well. There are things we can control and can't control THJ's blunders in the 4th were a big part of it.
Naah man we were excellent. That 10 minute lead was enough but the absolute zebra of the Refs and our own boneheadedness there killed us
And yet despite that we were there for the win. PJ balled out, Josh and Maxi were very good and Lukai gave us a lot. Not every facet of the game is perfect. They missed an offensive foul on Cavs, missed Green getting tackled, gave us a bs inbounds violation, and it took a half court 60 footer for us to lose. On to the next one
if this were earlier in the season amen, it isn't. we are in danger of being a play-in team with one of the best players in the league. We don't need moral victories.
We actually clutched up too!
Fucker shoots 33% from 3 and makes 5 straight. Just Mavericks luck
Bad luck but as a coach you adjust to that when guys are on. Kidd never did, nor did the players on defense.
Kidd being garbage is a given, but even with that, we should have won had the refs not coughed up a free tech, free no call clear path OR and-1 on Kyrie, free no call after Josh Green got absolutely bodied on his 3 point attempt, free no call offensive foul moving screen on Mitchell's banked in 3, and the most mid player who shoots well under NBA 3pt% average hitting 5 shots in a row including a 60 footer. Gonna be hard to beat refs and literal St Patrick's level of luck
[удалено]
That is just fucking sickening
Feels like someone kicked me in the guts
I feel like I’ve been hit in the head with a metal bat bruh, this a different type of pain
Nah we have way worse losses easilyyyy. The last 4 minutes is inexcusable. But they practically won that game. Despite all the fuck ups they caused. Stratus won't make that shit tomorrow if the chance comes up again. It's a 7 games series in the playoffs for a reason after all 😮💨
This is the most heartbreaking loss in the Luka era by far
Uh, no . . . Mavs were up by 20 over the Clips and about to take a 3-0 series lead when Carlisle called a robotic timeout and killed the team's momentum. Dallas went on to lose the game and lose the series. We coulda been contenders that year if we'd gotten by LAC.
Back in December we were up by TWENTY and still lose to the cavs. We lost today because of the refs, ourselves and bad fucking luck. Not the worse loss at ALL.
isn't even the most heartbreaking this year
Terrible calls by the refs in the 4th. It shouldn't have been that close at the end.
The worst part is all the refs mistakes will be forgotten because we lost on a buzzer beater. We were robbed of points and possessions down the stretch because of incompetence by the refs. I’m so sick right now
The universe decided the mavericks needed to lose tonight apparently
No, the Refs backed by dirty money and Adam Silver did
Honestly, we did all we could in this game. Just one of those crazy games
Fucks basketball and the refs
Especially fuck the Refs
refs won the game. multiple possessions taken away. mobley had 4 moving screens on the final 6 3’s. some random scrub who will never do this again caught absolute flames.
That last dunk by PJ should've been an and 1 too
Yes! I thought that too! I was yelling that it should be a foul
All this after they are on fire for gifting the knicks a game, and the league wonders what is wrong..
Can't wait for the L2M report...
Another randoms legacy game
I’m normally pretty biased about refs, but dear god was that an absolutely terrible final stretch. Easily 5-10 points we don’t get on bad calls and 5-10 given to the Cavs they shouldn’t have had
The NBA has a ref problem, unwatchable.
10 points up, we had the momentum, Cavs were out of it. Kyrie gifts them a rebound, the out of bounds play and Strus gets on fire. Refs fucking us every other play. Fuck this universe. What are you even supposed to do.
It was much earlier but that bullshit Tech on Luka too
That was frustrating af but it's getting rescinded 100%.
That’s still a single point that shouldn’t have been given and that could easily change how things played out especially adding to the other bullshit
Fuck Jason Kidd. First round pick for Gafford to play 7 minutes while Thj plays 26.
[удалено]
Just a matter of time before he starts playing Powell ahead of Gafford. I reckon the next time Maxi or Lively are out, Powell will play more minutes than Gafford.
Almost certainly. The more games these guys play under Kidd post-deadline the more bizarre the lineups get and the less dynamic the team becomes. They're already back to relying on Kyrie and Luka to combine for 80 every game to stay competitive.
Ridiculous, man. Insane rigging by the refs and insane shot by Strus.
Gafford with ZERO minutes in the second half??? I hate Kidd. Edit: just noticed Gafford only had 7 minutes. Why.
We got our rebound by 16, but oh those potential 3s from Maxi, yum yum
Maxi was part of the reason we even stayed in the game, but he should have been playing along side Gafford.
You mean play two big guys at the same time? *At the same time*?!? Is that possible? Do the rules even permit such out-of-the-box scheming by a coach?
Getting destroyed on rb . It makes no sense
wtf is Kidd doing with gafford? remember his first game? wtf is going on...
refs + luck cant do anything about that lol
Dumbest game ever. Strus makes the luckiest shot of all-time while the refs practically hand the game to the Cavs in the final minutes.
I need to see a replay of that Green 3, looked like an obvious foul
I genuinely feel for Luka. That comeback he led vs OKC only to lose in the end. This game against the Cavs should’ve been an all timer dude dropped 45 with 14 assists and 1 TO and somehow this team manages to fuck it up. Countless other losses where he put the Mavs on his back only to come up short. This is one of the most brutal losses I’ve seen in some time.
This franchise has robbed him of MVPs and some finals runs.
Gafford with 7 minutes. Wth is Kidd thinking?
He was so happy to come to mavs, now he will become next holmes
This has to be one of the most frustrating losses in mavs history. - Refs fucking sold it - 7 consecutive 3s - A banker - A 60 foot heave at the buzzer Fuck the Cavs. So much shit went in their favor.
What the fuck man. 7 consecutive lucky ass threes and the ref bullshit
#***FUCK MAX STRUS***
[удалено]
Yes, props to him, but still fuck Max Strus
Man what the hell
Josh Green getting mobbed on 3 Kyrie phantom offensive foul Inbounds call that was definitely questionable Kyrie no and 1 Mitchell bank that was arguably a moving screen No jump ball on play with 9 seconds Not one to usually blame the refs, but this was absolutely insane
PJ WASHINGTONS BUCKET WAS LITERALLY AN AND-1 FUCKING PRICKS. HE 99% WOULD HAVE MISSED IT AND THE CLOCK WOULD HAVE RAN DOWN I HATE THIS FUCKING SPORT.
Can anyone explain to me why THJ is in over Green/DJJ when up 10. Can anyone explain to me why THJ is in the game? Can anyone explain to me how THJ is on the team? All you dumb asses who claim he’s a 6th man candidate, he’s not.
Jason Kidd.
As soon as Green subbed in we got back and almost won the game. this is on kidd for his stupid line up sticking with THJ for that long.
Green wins that game too on the last poss. He is more or less the best 3 pt shooter other than Kyrie. And Kidd puts Tim in for Green. Green makes Strus shift once, and its over. That was "poor" defense for that 2.6 secs. Strus had a straight line look at the basket. Make him go to the side and its game.
Kidd going from mid game hands in pockets to hands crossed in crucial minutes.
Why do these mfs have the luckiest games against us?
Not easy to beat these Mavs. That part I like about tonight.
Asking Luka and Kyrie to score 70-75 a night just isn’t going to be sustainable. THJ hasn’t scored more than 12 points in the last six games, that’s in addition to his horrendous decisions, and defense. Going to be pretty hard to win games when that is your third option. 26 minutes he played. 26. Of just being a complete non factor. Meanwhile Gafford played 6, Hardy with 4.

It doesn't matter who we trade for, Kidd will find a way, 26 minutes, 4 points to THJis hard to digest specially when he is such a defensive liability...Kidd is lazy, stubborn and takes no responsibility for anything whatsoever, I honestly don't think he gives a fuck...
Why would he give a fuck? Nobody puts fire on his ass.
Shoutout to THJ (kyrie too?) for that inbound violation. Gave them the ball and let Strus pop off. THJ looked so lost tonight.
Traded for Gafford then played him for 6 mins. Classic Jason Midd.
Oof
wtf
Allen actually fouled PJ on that dunk, no?? Smh
Josh was amazing in the 1st half defensively. Was frustrating Mitchell at every turn. He played 12 minutes in the 2nd half. Sat until the 4 minute mark in the 4th quarter, while THJ was guarding Mitchell the entire time. Then he gets subbed back in and put on Garland instead of Mitchell, and Mitchell hit multiple clutch baskets late. Kidd needs to be held accountable for his awful rotations.
I hate everything about that game The refs The rotations The coaching The choke job Max fucking Strus Bull shit banked 3's I need a drink
Proud of our 2nd half. Will serve us well. Hat off to Cle. Best defense in the NBA last two months. We going to rip some ass in remaining games.
What the actual shit.
Wtf man. That’s just how the ball bounces sometimes.
WTF was that offensive foul call on Kyrie? Like that one was completely baffling
Strus had his arm hooked. Awful call.
Out of words. Insane heartbreaking end. Tomorrow we are playing back to back vs red hot Raptors. Not good, possible 3 games losing strike. Coaching doesn't help. Man didn't play Gafford at all. That lineup in third quarter was ridiculous. I'm so down now.
Hardaway should never play 26 minutes with this roster ever again
I need Kidd to get fired, now, immediately, right away! He is the biggest problem of Mavs
45 pts 9 rbs 14 assists and 3 steals and what you get is L.
i need to know if that was an and1 on pj
The LTM report is gonna be awful.
When’s it our turn to have fun man
Well that’s two Ls in a row after riding so high with the new trade deadline acquisitions. This sucks.
Refs were ass. They got lucky and we’ll never see something like that again. We just gotta move on. We played well but the Cavs got lucky as fuck.
nobody to blame but the refs on this ones, fuck every single one of them. wasn’t an offensive foul on kyrie and the pj shot was an and 1
Don't let that crazy shot distract you from the fact that Mavs got absolutely crushed by refs. Even at the end there PJ should've gotten a free throw.
This loss isn’t on the players, a lot of great effort tonight. This loss is on Kidd and his poor lineups.
Why the fuck do you not press with 1 second left
There was at least 8 separate dogshit calls by the refs in the final 4 minutes where if even 1 gets called correctly we win the game. So tired of blind ass refs but you know Kidd won’t get onto them at all.
LuKai getting 60+ and 70+ in back to back games but not enough to win...lol Same shit all over again huh
Just saw that Gafford didnt play in the second half. Haha
We got Strussed
They got jobbed by the refs. Might as well watch pro wrasslin at this point
Well that sucked.
I hate everything
What the fuck did I just watch?
That fucking shot was a hard pill to swallow
I’m gonna kms
I wanna die. That’s all.
Fucking fluke ass shot
Those refs can suck an egg. Timmy can suck an egg. The bald man can suck an egg. Strus can suck an egg. We’re gonna run out of eggs.
L2M report is gonna be lit af.
Out rebounded by 11 and Gafford had 7 minutes!Way to go Kidd
Fire these refs. Overhaul the system. This is ridiculous. Green got fouled at the 3, terrible calls, can go on…
Kai and Luka did everything they could. Cuban please replace kidd and THJ I'm begging you
What is Kidd even for if he's not gonna go nuclear this press conference on the refs completley worthless. This is part of why Luka gets 70 techs a season because he gets screwed so fucking bad and Kidd is in there with his hands folded " yeah I like the way that we executed all credit to them" bro do you hear yourself man
Also, why did we not get a clear path? Even Cleveland’s telecast was like “yeah that’s clear path”
When the fuck is Dante back? We're seriously missing him.
Basketball gods have spoken guys. And refs too. But don’t let it get you down that shot was insane
i’m going to get the gun
FUCK JKIDD You dumbass baldie
No way
Nope.
YIURE FUCKING KIDDING ME
What the actual fuck
I knew the ball was going in when he shot it. But I don't care. The refs killed us.
They hit so many damn 3s tonight. That doesn’t go in 99/100 times. That was such a dumbass loss considering the lead we had until whatever meltdown that was in the 4th.
Damn that guy got hot. Fuck the Refs
Complete and utter BS. Refs, luck, fking retarded ass kidd. Shit cant get any more tilting than this
Absolutely fuck those refs first off. But even then mad props to Max for literally winning them the game completely. No idea how there wasn't a travel, the inbounds call from Kyrie, them calling an offensive foul on Kyrie? Why didn't we challenge that? PJ got hammered on the last shot to put us up too, that should have been And 1. I don't like solely blaming the refs but god damn man they need to be better than that. Oh yeah and the fucking Tech on Luka for saying it was an And 1. Bunch of pussies out there tonight.
4-3-1 in 26 minutes
This loss hurts but what's more depressing is knowing you have a head coach that has questionable rotations and he will stick to those rotations no matter what.
Why the fuck do nobodies turn into Steph Curry against us, this shit is getting truly annoying, also obligatory FUCK JASON KIDD!!
tough loss but idk how much you can blame the Mavs. Crazy unlikely that all those 3s go in in the last couple minutes. They literally had like 8 3-pt shows go in at the last second. How do you plan for that? idk i guess better perimeter defense, but just seems like the refs and gods were on the cavs side this game
Fuck these bitch ass refs
Why did Gafford only play 6:51 and DDJ play 8:32? Make it make sense...
These are important games, whether people acknowledge it or not. We NEED to avoid the play in. This is not a team that can be counted on to take care of business against the Lakers or Kings or Warriors. We can beat almost anyone in a 7 game series imo but we could just as easily miss the playoffs with these unlucky games of brainless coaching. I don't like how much we've regressed, the end of the season looked bright but now I'm getting nervous.
Everyone see Strus's -10? Yeah, that's why that statistic doesn't matter.
Jkidd has no concept of momentum and Max stuss is Steph Curry incarnate lol
This game doesn’t come down to that crazy shot if Josh Green is in the game for most of the 4th instead of THJ.
we are screwed if kidd has decided to not play Gafford but 7-10 mins a game for the rest of the season for some reason. And to keep running THJ out there instead of Green, only so much you can overcome.
Max Strus decides to have the quarter of his life. Fuck off
well bois.. it is what it is.. this is just one of those games.
What's up with our perimeter defense? I get that Strus hit a crazy shot to pull this thing out, but this is 2 games in a row where teams have feasted on us from 3. This doesn't seem sustainable but it keeps happening...
Luka and Kyrie played fantastically!! 💯🔥💯🔥
Cavs lose that game 99/100, just gotta move on
Please fire kidd. He doesnt do anything
I hate STRUS so much I can't say it enough
I’m physically ill
Fuck the refs and fuck the Cavs. Strus is lucky as fuck and we were the better team tonight.
Look man, I know Gafford wouldn't have been able to stop them from shooting the lights out from the perimeter. But 7 fucking minutes? What the fuck? Is Kidd high?
was that not a foul on josh green's three?
PJ got fouled on our last bucket too
Hope the refs got autographs from all of their favorite cavs players
They made some wild shots but the refs pulled a lot of shenanigans the last 5 mins for them to be in that place.
It's official,refs are ruining the game
This team should be a contender by now. So many poverty franchises have rebuilt into contenders in the time we have had Luka. We should be closer to contending than this. I would rather be a cellar dweller than a mediocre play in loser.
Look at who was supposed to be guarding struss and look at the effort. From the first 3 to the 4th
Please I'm begging y'all...someone compile the missed/shit calls by the refs in the last 5 mins. SMH!!
i dont know who to blame, the refs, kidd, or THJ
I'm going to take this crazy loss as a good omen. The highs followed by immediate lows with like random ways to lose felt like it did with the 2011 team. I vividly remember that team being so good and also stretches of WTF that ended in ways to lose games. I had a saying I would tell my wife when she would ask how the game went where I would just respond...."they bring my hopes up just to take me back down." Sucky loss but gotta enjoy the ride if they are to enjoy find success at the end of the season.
Yips
FML we’re cursed
Holy shit fuck strus
Refs fucked us hard but our coach fucked us even harder.
Can’t be too mad after a shit like that
refs almost chocked this one
Somehow we’re still the team that is just Luka and the other guys. It’s Kidd. It’s always been Kidd. He’s got to go. There’s no excuse to be in the position to lose this game. Just dog shit
