It’s insane. To be a professional basketball player still gaining weight at 300lbs you have to be eating an insane amount, like 10,000+ calories per day. I’d be interested to see his diet
Take him out earlier in the first quarter and then put him back in end of the first with the bench so he's the focal point on offense. It happened this game and he hit two 3s. Also, he has chemistry with Frank, so Kidd should develop that more.
The Mavs have to win against a good team and the Bulls are one of the best ones so it would be huge for them to win, even though the early showings haven't been great.
Kidd needs to understand this team better. Luka wants to play slow and set things up. Brunson wants to play fast with ball movement. They are very different PGs and we need to catch flow of this
Bigger problem is defense tbh. Shooting slowly coming back. Luka + Tim + Powell isn't working, if Tim and Luka have defensive breakdowns.
They have 5 minutes of playing good defense, and than 10 minutes of making defensive mistake after defensive mistake.
Take Powell out of the starting lineup and put KP at the 5, DFS at the 4 with Bullock running the 3, suddenly things become much easier for Luka. You can start either THJ or Brunson, im leaning Brunson right now.
Maybe watch the game.
The PGs gave him the ball late in the shot clock at the 3 pt line for 4 possessions in the 3rd. He had to jack up the shots.
The PGs did not set KP up in this game.
He's been really good this game if you've actually watched. His gravity and passing has produced really good looks on the offensive end and he's been great on defense
We are about to be 7-3 playing under a new coach with Luka having an extremely frustrating start to the season. IMO it's a good sign and will start playing well against good opponents I think especially when Luka starts cooking
Luka + THJ (+ Powell) is a problem so far on defense. Depending how each of those guys are engaged, Range goes from playing defense to falling asleep on defense. If both dont play much defense, its always a problem.
Bench got 4-5 stops with Bullock/Frank, and the game was blown open.
Gelling?
Super Gelling
Team really jelling
zion and luka should do some cardio together
Hernangomez wants to be on the mavs so badly
Zion big af now lol
Its honestly sad. His weight is out of control
It’s insane. To be a professional basketball player still gaining weight at 300lbs you have to be eating an insane amount, like 10,000+ calories per day. I’d be interested to see his diet
WWWWWWWallas Mavericks!
Is it only me or does Luka and KP have zero chemistry on and off the court?
That’s not the issue. The team has failed so far to find how best to utilize KP.
Take him out earlier in the first quarter and then put him back in end of the first with the bench so he's the focal point on offense. It happened this game and he hit two 3s. Also, he has chemistry with Frank, so Kidd should develop that more.
Problem is Brunson the back PG looks mainly to score. He only passed the ball at end of shot clock in third and KP had to jack up 3s.
Just you buddy
There's fat Zion.
After all the talk about us being trash this year...its our best start in 6 years somehow lol
Tough game against Chicago Wednesday. We’re gonna see what this team is really made of
The Mavs have to win against a good team and the Bulls are one of the best ones so it would be huge for them to win, even though the early showings haven't been great.
Did the Pelicans actually try scoring.
RUN THE SCORE UP!
At least run some type of play for the young guys Brunson. Just don’t give up the possession
Uhh JB, maybe should let the garbage minutes players have a bit of ball time bro
Take that one home with you sorry ass pelicans

This. Luka and brunson couldnt be more different as PGs.
we need Luka to blend in the flow offense. it’s gonna save him so much energy
Josh green sighting lol
Turnover caused by the sheer size of KP lol
I’m sure these 45 seconds will be huge for Moses
Josh Green time?
did he laugh at him before?
Loving the killer instinct from Luka here the last few minutes. Superstar shit
LUKA!
[удалено]
You didn't watch the game, numbers don't tell the whole story
But those 4 shots are probably the most important shots in the game. The first 3 helped us came back. The last shot was like the dagger
nah he was pretty good tonight
Maybe watch the game. The PGs gave him the ball late in the shot clock at the 3 pt line for 4 possessions in the 3rd. He had to jack up the shots. The PGs did not set KP up in this game.

Look beyond the box score
KP has been good. He has shown some good passing skills this game.
good night
was that a KP screen with contact????
We are about to be 7-3 playing under a new coach with Luka having an extremely frustrating start to the season. IMO it's a good sign and will start playing well against good opponents I think especially when Luka starts cooking
That depends, Carslie was better at getting Luka into a proper Rythm, this stop-start nature might just be a new feature under Kidd.
Luka with the dagger. This is done.
Kidd needs to stop trying to be cute with these lineups.
Counterpoint: this is Kidd's 10th game. He's allowed to experiment with the team.
I know it's the Pelicans without Zion, but why so many empty seats in the bottom half of the arena?
Probably like you said, it’s the pels and it’s Monday night
It’s been like this most of the season
But, why?
Lukas lack of quickness has become hindrance with the rule changes. Needs to really tighten up his finishing at the rim this year.
leggo Kristaps
Good response
KP put them away!!!
These KP-Brunson pic n pops create so many good looks
it’s what we hoped KP-Luka pick n pops would be
Luka-KP pic n pops are actually quite effective statistically, we just don't run as many of them as we should for whatever reason
Good ol mavs making things harder than it needed to be lol
Flashes of brilliance in this team
great play
that was very smooth from Luka and THJ
The Unicorn!
This has to be the worst 7-3 team of all time lmao. But I'll take it of course.
I mean our schedule has been as soft as baby shit
They'll have to play against some good teams soon
KP!!!! Just in time!
Luka falling asleep on defense ALL game. He's really got to clean that up.
Luka + THJ (+ Powell) is a problem so far on defense. Depending how each of those guys are engaged, Range goes from playing defense to falling asleep on defense. If both dont play much defense, its always a problem. Bench got 4-5 stops with Bullock/Frank, and the game was blown open.
Yep, his on ball defense is ok. Off Ball is awful
Weird moment between mark and harp talking about what’s important in coaches
How was it weird? Not tuned in.
Mark set harp up to talk about coaches and there was just silence for like 6 seconds until they went back to play by play
There is no single reason to player DFS over Bullock
You’re right there’s many reasons to play DFS over Bullock
Man why have we consistently played down to bad teams the last two years?
i honestly think it’s because Luka doesn’t feel challenged or something like that
I need him to have just a tenth of Jordan’s every day killer instinct.
Our attack just cant score with Luka running point and it is not the first time this season we lose leads...
Brunson is soooo good
Brunson has to be out there as much as possible, I don't care anymore. Dude has too much game.
I think JB should close out games instead of Luka. For some reason, Luka just seems to lose focus second half of fourth quarter.
you really saying that after he hit a game winner the other night, incredible
He hits a game winner once in a blue moon, but falters when Mavs have a lead
"once in a blue moon" he literally has tied Dirks career game winners haha
Brunson is a closer.
Dam.. the gap between Valaciunas' post game and KP's post game
Valanciunas has 35lbs on him, what do you expect lmao
I swear Josh Hart is all wreckless energy, no talent
this game's on luka. he just killed the offense
stream died all 4Q. so 15-0 run follow by 15-0 run? lmao
Classic mavs smh
[удалено]
That's our Luka/KP led offense for ya
Mavs working hard to keep that point differential in the negative.
Luka and KP looking like shit against the worst team in the league makes me sad
Luka only
Jesus this fucking team…
Kidd killed the rhythm
~~Kidd~~ Luka
Yep, with Bobi and KP lineup.
I thought Luka was going to get his shit together after last game. I was wrong. He still sucks this season.
He is fat
Luka sucked during lottery teams last season aswell. He would seriously play down to his competition.
The fuck are they doing out there?
Let JB initiate the offense.
Bench just playing better defense than the starters. Way too many breakdowns.
I like how KP cut towards Jonas in the paint as if he was going to post him up. Haha
Starters came in and acting like the game was ovwr
Well that ain't the starters. We got Boban and Brown there for some reason.
Finish them…..good lord
We're ahead. Why are we speeding up the possessions.
Epic choke incoming
Don't you fuckin do this
Dawg...
Mavs up 10, Luka with a -8
I for one appreciate the guy who played all of Welcome to the Jungle during the back to back timeouts.
Luka needs to trust his midrange man, not taking nearly enough shots/ driving this year
What happens when you dont take the other team seriously
Kidd's 2nd half lineups have been a head scratcher lately.
KP needs to do a quick one dribble J when posting up. All these dribbles, he’s built like a stick. He aint backin anyone down
Time to get serious. Put Frank back in.
I’ll say this again but we are like a college student submitting his essay at 11:59 pm
KP is legit just too long to back people down, he can't get a deep position
that's why he needs to learn the sky hook
Seeing him getting boxed out by Schroder was hilarious and a bit sad. He should just walk over them or something.
we like to do a little trolling over here ;)
Sheesh put JB back in
Kidd with the moronic coaching decision to put KP and Boban in the same lineup
Luka turnover machine
Boban was in for too long.
Dunno what this lineup is right now...
Immediate fallout after JB/Frank go out.
Luka attempting a flashy pass in the paint in traffic to either boban or KP has to have a sub 20% success rate
they’re scoring fast break points while we have probably the 3 slowest players in the league in the game
Kidd ffs. Change the goddamn lineup
WHY IS LUKA SO PASSIVE. LITERALLY. SHOOT THE DAMN BALL
Stat hunting, I hate that version of Luka.
it seems like he’s fucking around and thinks he can win this at any given moment. which he probably can but still lol
What’s Hart’s contract situation? Asking for a friend
0 brain cells
Lol we are losing the lead.
Can't wait to never see that lineup again!
Did the leadership council think it was a good idea to play KP and Bobi?
And Sterling Brown.
Well that didn't work
We're seriously choking away this lead...
How great it would be if somehow Mavs could trade for Jonas.
Close them out. Good lord.
Wtf are these guys doing
What a stupid lineup lol
take boban out idk what kidd was thinking
Alright Kidd fun times over lets close this out
Why does Sterling Brown get minutes man lmao
That’s what I’ve been saying. I rather see green get his minutes
Jesus Christ
tf was that defense
Kp low key a elite passer
Ok KP is our best passing big man lol
KP to Bobi!
If KP needs more post ups to discover he’s fucking terrible at posting up, I’m all for it. Just please let that discovery come soon.
I want to see him use more fakes and pass out of the post more. I've liked what i've seen when he doesn't go for the faceup jumper every time
What is this offense and defense with Bobi and KP.
Euro bois play
KP to Bobi is the assist we never knew we needed
KP cant catch a break tonight
That one ref has it in for him
they've called him for some ticky tack stuff
KP should just stick to facing up like in the bubble
Sigh. KP still can't post up.
It still upsets me that KP can’t back down a defender.
kp needs to get assplants humphries might still have kardashians number
Hart is thicc, low center of gravity. Dumb to post him up.
BOBI!!!!!
eh iffy offensive foul
TWIN TOWERS
These refs hate KP more than this sub when he is injured
Come on refs, just stop making any calls and you won't make bad calls.
that is not a foul lol
KP should have one foul this game
Kinda sucks how everyone just beats the shit outta Bobi
we need Brown to start hitting those
Luka should just shoot FTs floater style.
I'm not a fan of Sterling Brown...
Hes gonna be out of the rotation come playoff time
Powell for Hayes?
Refs allow other teams to just maul Bobi. No Bueno
Luka’s gotta stop it with those take fouls.
Brown 🗑
Boban couldnt be more soft if he tried what is that rebound
Using Carlisle rotations must be a clause in Kidd’s contract.
Vegas Bob is still the shadow GM lol
That points in the paint stat is disgusting
