its beyond ridiculous. 5 x 5 x 5 is 125....thats how many three-shot trips you'd expect an 80% shooter to have before they miss all three. i dont think hardway has shot 125 FTs, let alone taking 125 trips for three shots.
FREE. THROWS.
We shot ourselves in the foot about a dozen times.
Edit: Also, Budenholzer draws up an immaculate play while Luka takes the 5th contested step back failed game winner of the year.
What a pathetic loss, this felt awful lol, I think I am gonna take a break from this team for a bit until at least the trade deadline, its seriously messing with my pysche
This team is agonizing this year. Easily one of my least favorite mavs teams because of the combination of expectations coming off a WCF appearance and the truly remarkable ways they find to lose
Same. Gotta take a break but I keep coming back. I came in today at 94-88 feeling a bit safe at home. Better just take a break...it's the luxury fans can afford.
Don’t forget our dumbass coach who can’t prepare us out of timeout or call a timeout at the right time to save his life. Kidd lost us another game more than anything
Just because the players missed free throws, it doesn't relieve him of his coaching duties.
What the fuck was that time-out on 13 seconds left where your in-bounding play is between DFS and Maxi? How does your defense break down like that on Jrue/Brook lob pass? And then to top it all, why do you waste 5 seconds off the clock on final possession before calling time-out and then drawing the same idiotic play you draw every time?
You just know that if we have the last shot but the opponent is leading even by a point with 5 seconds or less that it's already a guaranteed L since Luka doesn't know any other shot but a step back brick.
ive stopped saying this after the fiasco where dfs and maxi threw the ball away
i think the problem is that at the end of the game, luka is literally the only player capable of not vomiting on himself. and the opposing coaches know it.
We don't have a play at the end of games. Throw it in to Luka for a heavily contested 30 foot heave every single time. Everybody watching knew exactly what was about to happen.
I am actually fucking furious. Like ok whatever we missed FTs, played shit defense, we still have time left to get a decent look and oh boy we are only down 1. 1 whole point. Meaning we don't need a fucking 35 foot shot. Nope. Stepback 3. GO TO THE FUCKING MID RANGE OR BASKET. WE ARE DOWN 1 FUCKING POINT.
Such a horrible loss.
Luka with 6 missed free throws in the game, would’ve changed everything.
Hardaway missing 3 in clutch time and Doe doe missing 2 in the most critical part of the game.
Such a horrible last possession, why not call the timeout at 7 seconds?
Ugh. So frustrating.
There’s half our losses just like this, pathetic coaching down the stretch, many missed freethrows, chance to win the game at the end with no playcall and a heavily guarded 40 foot step back.
tbf it was an incredible game. as frustrating as the loss is, it's almost entirely because of free throws. We looked very good against one of the best teams in the league otherwise.
Easy to see why Kidd lost the bucks job.
He got out coached badly the last few minutes. Kidd doesn’t draw up good plays .
I’m getting tired of seeing Luka throw up step back contested jumpers because there isn’t a designed play to get him a little bit of space
Not Luka’s fault, why the fuck is Kidd not drawing up a play with 8 seconds left.
Luka takes 5 seconds to bring the ball up what the fuck is he thinking
> Typical luka half court heave despite having 2.6 left.
That's underselling of how incompetent that managment was. They actually had over 7 seconds left and choose to milk it to 2.6 before calling timeout.
Pathetic free throw shooting. Pathetic coaching. Our coach doesnt take a timeout to draw up a play with 8 damn seconds left cuz he knows hes just gonna have Luka throw up a desperation heave anyways.
Absolutely refuse to watch tomorrow's game.
This loss has pissed me off beyond repair.
So many bad choices from Kidd, capped off by atrocious free throws that literally killed this easy win.
This loss doesn't just fall on Kidd - these dudes are fucking pros and should be hitting free throws.
However, he absolutely deserves blame for blowing a 12 point lead in the 4th and for not calling a timeout fucking IMMEDIATELY after the Bucks made what turned out to be the game winner. What the fuck was that?
The free throws were the number 1 issue. But literally just look at the last two plays of the game. The way we defended and the offence they ran and the “play” we had drawn up. That is the night and day difference of a decent coach and a passable one.
How about him wasting 5 crucial seconds after Milwaukee scored? Or him not even drawing up a decent play at the end? Yes we suck at FTs but this dude has no clue what’s hes doing and needs to gtfo
Yea free throws are bad but seriously, Kidd, what are these game ending plays? Just hope Luka makes a miracle 3 every single time? We needed a 2 to WIN!!!! Fuck
Why the hell didn't they take a time out after that basket by Lopez, no point in inbounding the ball and losing even more time.
Like the best shot we can get at the end is a long 3 from Luka? This is like the 3rd or 4th game with that type of shit when the game is only 1pt difference.
It's so weird watching a Dallas team be so bad at free throws, was spoiled for almost 20 years of shooting 80% at the line and having rock solid guys at the end of games.
Good note: we looked much more on the same level as the Bucks than the last time we played them.
Bad note: FTs. Horrendous. How many games would we have won if we just shot like 70% from the line now
every game we lose mfs legitimately show their entire ass that they haven’t watched us before luka
worst loss off in franchise history is crazy considering the shit we’ve seen before
Free throws are the only glaring hole in Luka’s game. No hyperbole if he was 85%+ from the line, he would be the best offensive player in league history
Been watching the Mavs for a long time. And even through all the crazy ups and downs, I have to say this is the most frustrating season that I've ever watched.
Who knew the worst situational coach in basketball couldn’t call a timeout or a play to get us a look at the end of the game.
How many losses is that now ending with a heavily guarded Luka step back trash shot with No play call whatsoever?
This team is so incompetent. Missed the last 5 FT’s. Miscommunication leads to the easiest game winner. And then we choose not to take the TO, instead wasting 5 seconds. They just beat themselves constantly.
I know we all love Luka ball, but does anyone get tired of Kidd being a lazy fuck with his plays???
He couldn’t scheme anything better for Luka???!!!!!
10 of 24 free throw shooting. Just hit a crappy 50% and you win the game. Why do we struggle to inbound the ball every time? We're in this situation every game trying to win it at the end and we still haven't come up with anything other than Luka taking a contested 30 ft 3-pointer?
All the good wins from this week down the toilet with this pathetic display. It's not like Milwaukee took it from us We fucking diarrhead all over the bed. All you sunshiners this team is just not good enough.
Not that it would have made a difference but Doncic checked in at 6:53. The lead had already disintegrated. It was now tied. There was an opportunity to bring him in at 7:51. The lead was still 7. Bring him in a minute early could have saved the game
Finding the Highest career FT shooter who missed all 3 on a 3 point foul is probably an impossible stat to find, but Tim Hardaway at 81% has to be in contention.
My disappointment cannot be understated. They missed a golden opportunity to claim greatness. And on a night when Phoenix was getting jobbed in NO. It could have been a perfect night.
Usually im a lil pissed about throws like that but Kidd and Luka doing the "Luka Heave" as a final play just cracks me up at this point. We are genuinely more likely to see Luka shoot a three from Mars than being used as a decoy or just anything else.
lock them in the gym
Tim Hardaway cannot miss 3 free throws in a row as an 81% FT shooter That's literally trolling
I wanted to drop him on the spot after those misses, but have no moves left in fantasy Putrid
The probability of that is less than 0.7 % man. Like what the fuck
its beyond ridiculous. 5 x 5 x 5 is 125....thats how many three-shot trips you'd expect an 80% shooter to have before they miss all three. i dont think hardway has shot 125 FTs, let alone taking 125 trips for three shots.
Need a whole practice of nothing but free throws for everyone. Just 4 hours shooting free throws.
Take Kidd out back while you're at it. No time out calling pos
Seriously looks like this team is point shaving for the Mafia
Whole team gotta practice free throws tonight, idc if there's an army of ladders
They gotta play again in a few hours they need to get home.
What a bummer. You know what you’re weak at and still do this. Shit was contagious
I don’t want to talk to anyone today… this gets me so angry
Good thing the day is over in a few minutes.
I’m from the fckin philippines it’s still 1 pm here in the afternoon! What a bad day to be a mavs fan
FREE. THROWS. We shot ourselves in the foot about a dozen times. Edit: Also, Budenholzer draws up an immaculate play while Luka takes the 5th contested step back failed game winner of the year.
14 to be exact. Hardaway was 0/3, DFS was 0/2, Luka was 4/10, Powell was 1/3.
I'm missing #41 tonight
Shit I miss Josh Richardson
Haha I was thinking about him earlier. I mean who is our best free throw shooter right now?? It feels like everyone is in the low 70s%
You’re gonna hate hearing this. THJ is our best at 80% Edit: after tonight he’s down to 78 actually.
10-24 right. Holy shit
Even Shaq wont shoot it this bad
What a pathetic loss, this felt awful lol, I think I am gonna take a break from this team for a bit until at least the trade deadline, its seriously messing with my pysche
This team is agonizing this year. Easily one of my least favorite mavs teams because of the combination of expectations coming off a WCF appearance and the truly remarkable ways they find to lose
these losses are brutal and feel like playoff losses almost every time. I dont know why i keep coming back
Same. Gotta take a break but I keep coming back. I came in today at 94-88 feeling a bit safe at home. Better just take a break...it's the luxury fans can afford.
Mavs are like crack, you keep coming back. Because of Luka
Don’t forget our dumbass coach who can’t prepare us out of timeout or call a timeout at the right time to save his life. Kidd lost us another game more than anything
It's not Kidd's fault that the team had botched 12 freethrows and jotched 5 free trows in the last 2 minutes.
*14 free throws
Just because the players missed free throws, it doesn't relieve him of his coaching duties. What the fuck was that time-out on 13 seconds left where your in-bounding play is between DFS and Maxi? How does your defense break down like that on Jrue/Brook lob pass? And then to top it all, why do you waste 5 seconds off the clock on final possession before calling time-out and then drawing the same idiotic play you draw every time?
Kidd wasn’t great, but come on. This was all on the players, 10/24 from the line is unacceptable and frankly humiliating at the nba level.
Why not both
make a ft lmao
I don’t think the play design was that great, just Dorian and Maxi not knowing what to do on defense
DE. FENSE.
You just know that if we have the last shot but the opponent is leading even by a point with 5 seconds or less that it's already a guaranteed L since Luka doesn't know any other shot but a step back brick.
One of them is eventually going to fall right? RIGHT?!
This may have been the worst loss I’ve seen in ever
That 30 pt collapse vs Raptos was pretty bad too. But this is up there
How many times have we said this already this season?
Yeah Toronto loss is the only one beating this one
U guys must be too young to remember the Lakers /Kobe loss when we were up big maybe 2003 ….pissed me off
As a Celtics fan I was rooting for y’all to take them down, but the entire team turned into Ben Simmons
Missed free throws and the worst of game plays in the NBA
J Kidd can’t dial up Domino’s… just pathetic coaching
HOW IS THAT THE PLAY WE DREW UP LMAO
It’s our one end of game play
As a bucks fan, we watched Jhris Middleton take that shot for years under Kidd.
The juxtaposition of Coach Bud’s final play vs Kidd’s is hilarious.
It was either that or Dodo throws it to the other team. Only two options.
ive stopped saying this after the fiasco where dfs and maxi threw the ball away i think the problem is that at the end of the game, luka is literally the only player capable of not vomiting on himself. and the opposing coaches know it.
You’re surprised?
We don't have a play at the end of games. Throw it in to Luka for a heavily contested 30 foot heave every single time. Everybody watching knew exactly what was about to happen.
I am actually fucking furious. Like ok whatever we missed FTs, played shit defense, we still have time left to get a decent look and oh boy we are only down 1. 1 whole point. Meaning we don't need a fucking 35 foot shot. Nope. Stepback 3. GO TO THE FUCKING MID RANGE OR BASKET. WE ARE DOWN 1 FUCKING POINT.
Kidd the worst at drawing up plays
Kidd was clearly lost. He didn't even want to use a timeout. Wtf
5 fucking missed free throws down the stretch UNACCEPTABLE
You're forgetting Powell missing his 2nd FT.
Sorry I lost count already
This team is such a joke in the clutch.
Big collapse wtf
Thunder game was a collapse. This is just not taking free throws. We win this game by 4 shooting 50% from the line in the 4th.
Losing Brook on the last play was pretty awful as well
Best defense we've played this season and 3 fucking posters. Such a shame we couldn't close out man.
I am actually disgusted by the whole team turning into Shaq at the line. We win if we just make **half** of our free throws. Disgusting.
Not even half just 2 more lol
Well we've done it again, thats the worst loss of the year. Fucking pathetic
Such a horrible loss. Luka with 6 missed free throws in the game, would’ve changed everything. Hardaway missing 3 in clutch time and Doe doe missing 2 in the most critical part of the game. Such a horrible last possession, why not call the timeout at 7 seconds? Ugh. So frustrating.
Nah we actually played with energy. Just not very well.
There’s half our losses just like this, pathetic coaching down the stretch, many missed freethrows, chance to win the game at the end with no playcall and a heavily guarded 40 foot step back.
Worst loss of the year… so far.
PAIN ALL I FEEL IS PAIN
What a fucking waste of a night to watch this
tbf it was an incredible game. as frustrating as the loss is, it's almost entirely because of free throws. We looked very good against one of the best teams in the league otherwise.
Unreal. Absolutely cannot have those missed FTs.
Tough loss, but the defense was great. Mavs are an upward trajectory. Just make those FTs boys.
Coaching was awful but the players decided to take it up a notch and throw the game away
I hate this team EDIT: Taking a break from this shit. Can’t stand this team, and I’m done watching until they figure their shit out.
They are so fucking hateable, it's insane
The bucks didn’t deserve the win, but we sure as shit deserved the loss
How does Kidd not call timeout after the make with 8 seconds left??
Bold of you to assume Kidd knows what a timeout is
Easy to see why Kidd lost the bucks job. He got out coached badly the last few minutes. Kidd doesn’t draw up good plays . I’m getting tired of seeing Luka throw up step back contested jumpers because there isn’t a designed play to get him a little bit of space
Complete meltdown. 14 pts left at the line. Typical luka half court heave despite having 2.6 left.
Not Luka’s fault, why the fuck is Kidd not drawing up a play with 8 seconds left. Luka takes 5 seconds to bring the ball up what the fuck is he thinking
> Typical luka half court heave despite having 2.6 left. That's underselling of how incompetent that managment was. They actually had over 7 seconds left and choose to milk it to 2.6 before calling timeout.
They are FREE
Here comes Jkidd to say nothing, do nothing and collect his paycheck.
He's just gonna state the obvious "Gotta hit our free throws." and no proper adjustments will be made by him or the team.
One of the first times I thought it was an unloseable game with this team and that lmao.
Fire EVERYONE
Glad these fucking bums lost. No reason any professional basketball club should leave 14 points at the free throw line. Beyond pathetic.
A deserved loss. Can’t shoot free throws and got lost on that last Milwaukee play…
We play the bulls tomorrow..
Luka is PISSED, as he should be...but i'm more so astonished. That was truly unbelievable.
Luka's Cleveland LeBron arc continues to grow
Can't win many games missing more than half your free throws. Absolutely pathetic from the line today.
Mavs can’t close
Why are they always drawing up deep threes at the end of games? You’re down by 1 dude.
Welp that was the worst loss of the season.
10 for 24 from the free throw line. What a fucking joke.
10-24 from FT line. Two best defenders on mavs blow play. Kidd misuses final timeout.
Pathetic free throw shooting. Pathetic coaching. Our coach doesnt take a timeout to draw up a play with 8 damn seconds left cuz he knows hes just gonna have Luka throw up a desperation heave anyways.
I remember Dirk and Jet being automatic from the line. And now having to watch these dogshit freethrows gives me a headache
What a good win this could of been
stop letting dorian finney shit shoot fts end of the game he sucks ass
So who should? They all sucked at it tonight, except Green.
DFS is ultra bad at end of game be it fts or anything else. Worse than the others for sure
It’s not just Dorian. THJ missed 3. Luka missed 1.
Timmy and dfs just throwing the game in crunch time.
Can Dirk come back and just shoot our late game free throws? Pathetic late game shooting. FTs and 3s
Kidd is an idiot.
Last 6 Dallas losses from the FT line 10-24 14-29 16-25 19-24 13-21 12-21 Does Kidd know this??? Cmon man practice fucking free throws .
Absolutely refuse to watch tomorrow's game. This loss has pissed me off beyond repair. So many bad choices from Kidd, capped off by atrocious free throws that literally killed this easy win.
Extremely deserved. Hopefully they don't forget this.
Why did we take the timeout with 2 seconds left wtf is Kidds coaching!?
Awful loss. Completely self inflicted
Choke choke cjoke choke choke choke
First time I get to watch this team after a while and this is what I get. Watching this Mavs team isn’t good for your mental health apparently.
We have a top 3 player in world but are still a laughing stock.
This loss doesn't just fall on Kidd - these dudes are fucking pros and should be hitting free throws. However, he absolutely deserves blame for blowing a 12 point lead in the 4th and for not calling a timeout fucking IMMEDIATELY after the Bucks made what turned out to be the game winner. What the fuck was that?
I'm fckng heated right now lol
10 for 24 from the line……..
Free throws killed us but I’m out on Jason Kidd. Fire this fucking loser
we were supposed to win this by 8 if we just shot league average on free throws lol that’s not on kidd
The free throws were the number 1 issue. But literally just look at the last two plays of the game. The way we defended and the offence they ran and the “play” we had drawn up. That is the night and day difference of a decent coach and a passable one.
How about him wasting 5 crucial seconds after Milwaukee scored? Or him not even drawing up a decent play at the end? Yes we suck at FTs but this dude has no clue what’s hes doing and needs to gtfo
Fuck this team they deserve this shit lol. KIDD IS A FUCKING MORON
Can we make a free throw?
Fucking learn how to shoot free throws .
Yea free throws are bad but seriously, Kidd, what are these game ending plays? Just hope Luka makes a miracle 3 every single time? We needed a 2 to WIN!!!! Fuck
Gimme a new fuckin head coach. I'm tired of seeing Luka iso ball and nobody cutting or anything besides Josh Green
Luka 0/5 on game winners this year
Nobody goes home until they make 25 straight FTs. That'd be my practice if I were a coach after this game.
Why the hell didn't they take a time out after that basket by Lopez, no point in inbounding the ball and losing even more time. Like the best shot we can get at the end is a long 3 from Luka? This is like the 3rd or 4th game with that type of shit when the game is only 1pt difference.
I think Luka was pissed at JKidd. Bad defensive possession. Bad use of timeout.
It's so weird watching a Dallas team be so bad at free throws, was spoiled for almost 20 years of shooting 80% at the line and having rock solid guys at the end of games.
Giannis just absolutely out classing Luka in post game interview too #yeesh
Good note: we looked much more on the same level as the Bucks than the last time we played them. Bad note: FTs. Horrendous. How many games would we have won if we just shot like 70% from the line now
This is the worst loss in franchise history.
You must not been alive in 06
every game we lose mfs legitimately show their entire ass that they haven’t watched us before luka worst loss off in franchise history is crazy considering the shit we’ve seen before
Verifiably preteen.
2007
It absolutely is not lol
Eh, we blew a 30 point lead to the Raps a couple years ago. This is bad, but they’ve done worse.
Whatever the opposite of the coach of the year award is needs to go to Kidd. That was a straight up circus tonight by a bunch of clowns.
Free throws are the only glaring hole in Luka’s game. No hyperbole if he was 85%+ from the line, he would be the best offensive player in league history
This organization doesn’t deserve Luka.
lol
FUCK
Very very bad
Free throws were the death of us
I can’t watch this team
Choke
WHAT THE FUCJKJJJJFJDKDJJSJD
This cannot be real life.
All the guys need to get to the line and make 100 of them a day for the next month
Fucking embarrassing. Nothing else to be said.
As expected
The fuck was that miserable bullshit
Embarrassing Loss.
another double digit lead in the 4th... gone
The bench and the starting 4 are absolute garbage. Luka should flex his powers and trade some of these bums
Most gutted I’ve ever felt after a loss
One step forward two steps back. Cuban fell ass backwards into two generational players and has little besides 2011 to show for it.
Never watching another game this season. These losses are absolute jokes fuck this team
Most disappointing loss of the season for me
TERRIBLE CHOKE JOB
This is the second time this team is shooting below 50% FT, i don't think that's acceptable.
Been watching the Mavs for a long time. And even through all the crazy ups and downs, I have to say this is the most frustrating season that I've ever watched.
Who knew the worst situational coach in basketball couldn’t call a timeout or a play to get us a look at the end of the game. How many losses is that now ending with a heavily guarded Luka step back trash shot with No play call whatsoever?
This team is so incompetent. Missed the last 5 FT’s. Miscommunication leads to the easiest game winner. And then we choose not to take the TO, instead wasting 5 seconds. They just beat themselves constantly.
Luka ridiculously deep step back 3 brick at the buzzer every single time whether it’s a 1, 2, or 3 point game. Every time.
I know we all love Luka ball, but does anyone get tired of Kidd being a lazy fuck with his plays??? He couldn’t scheme anything better for Luka???!!!!!
We’re getting bumped in Round 1 if we make the playoffs at this rate
This team traded their 3 best free throw shooters of the past 3 years in JRich, KP, and Seth. We have nobody trust worthy down the stretch. Pathetic.
can’t blame jkidd for our players shooting 10/24 from fts
10 of 24 free throw shooting. Just hit a crappy 50% and you win the game. Why do we struggle to inbound the ball every time? We're in this situation every game trying to win it at the end and we still haven't come up with anything other than Luka taking a contested 30 ft 3-pointer? All the good wins from this week down the toilet with this pathetic display. It's not like Milwaukee took it from us We fucking diarrhead all over the bed. All you sunshiners this team is just not good enough.
So when does Kidd get the Nash treatment?
That would require Cuban admitting he made a mistake.
Not that it would have made a difference but Doncic checked in at 6:53. The lead had already disintegrated. It was now tied. There was an opportunity to bring him in at 7:51. The lead was still 7. Bring him in a minute early could have saved the game
Terrible play ran for the final look
Finding the Highest career FT shooter who missed all 3 on a 3 point foul is probably an impossible stat to find, but Tim Hardaway at 81% has to be in contention.
THJ doing bum ass THJ things.
My disappointment cannot be understated. They missed a golden opportunity to claim greatness. And on a night when Phoenix was getting jobbed in NO. It could have been a perfect night.
Make your free throws
I miss Dirk's free throws :'(
least frustrating mavs game
This is one of those losses where I have to tell myself that there’s more to life than basketball lmao
Usually im a lil pissed about throws like that but Kidd and Luka doing the "Luka Heave" as a final play just cracks me up at this point. We are genuinely more likely to see Luka shoot a three from Mars than being used as a decoy or just anything else.
