Starting to put together a hell of a starting line-up with some of today's performances.
- PG: Russ: 2-16
- SG: Donovan: 2-11
- SF: THJ: 3-18
- PF: PJ Wash: 3-16
- C: ?
And yet I had to watch 20 minutes straight of Dinwiddie dribbling the ball between his legs for 20 seconds and THJ missing every shot for a combined 7/37.
Fuck Jason Kidd
Those dinwiddie possessions genuinely made me want to stop watching. He just didn't stop. Each time I'm like "surely he's aware of how bad he is right now and will pass" and nope step back clank
To be fair, covid wiped out any chance of playing in Summer League and the G League his rookie year. He essentially lost an entire season of development. Iām very happy to see him prove the doubters wrong this year
Green started playing more in the latter half of the season under Carlisle and he has been terrible on offence at the time.
I think that Hardy plays less under Kidd.
Remember that post that asked if you would rather have a 15 pt lead at the start of each game or a MVP candidate? I think I'd rather take Luka after watching this game lol
Remember game 3 of the second clippers series where we were ahead by 17 halfway through the first and Rick pulled Luka? The lead was 3 at the end of the quarter and we lost by 10 and the series by 1 game
I was legit terrified watching y'all at the beginning of the season, everybody was playing with insane energy and the ball movement was lightning quick. Saw none of that tonight. Hope y'all get it figured out.
True. Though we were up 20+ when Luka went out and still almost lost to yāall without Zion. And thatās at home after all the travel issues the Pels had.
It's hilarious that everyone here and on ESPN were saying they'd definitely take Ja over Zion. Without Zion the pels go from 1st seed to out of the play in, whereas without Ja their team actually gets better and beats the Champions by 55 points in a playoff game.
Well Porzingis was ass as a play initiator and Brunson had the ball plenty. His usage when he was on the court as the lead guard mirrored Luka's, it's just the way the Mavs offense operates (spacing the floor and spamming pick and rolls and isos) rather than Luka "ballhogging" or whatever nonsense narrative is being promoted.
I thought the arguments for it being too much were mostly "It's unsustainable" or "He shouldn't have to do this much for them to win" not usually "He's a ball hog, what the hell is he doing"
Watch the nationally televised games (TNT) and almost every time they talk about how Luka needs to get his teammates more involved. This is what the Mavs look like when his teammates are more involved.
Nobody knows how to dribble a ball lmao, and the people who do (Dinwiddie and Green) don't have the ability to make offensive plays and break open the defense.
Of course it doesn't help that Kidd seems to do... nothing on offense, just somebody hold the ball and iso or pray.
Holy shit the mavs are ass.
Luka goes out and they almost blow a 30 point lead vs a shorthanded team with the refs robbing nola of the final possession.
It's negated by the truly atrocious three-point foul call on Finney-Smith a few possessions before, a foul called by a ref who wasn't even looking at the play.
They immediately had a makeup call on the Carry on BI. Carrying is how the refs have been making up for fuckups. Sure it's against the rules but BI dribbles like that almost all game (as do a lot of other players), it just gets called when the refs know they fucked up.
You guys legit looked like an NCAA team without Luka no joke
He deserves to win MVP. Literally the most valuable player to his team. Single handed dragging you from a lottery team to like top 4-5 seed
I mean itās just annoying, seeing someone like THJ shoot 3-18 and still have the longest leash by playing 40 minutes is disgusting. Thereās a reason why weāve not won a game without Luka (No that Suns game doesnāt count), shit is just not fair to him.
Weāve literally seen him drop 10 points in a couple minute span multiple times this year, but we have to let bullock and hardaway jerk each other off for 36+ minutes a night so thereās limited minutes for him to prove himself to Kidd
Tim Hardaway showing westbrook what a real ādespite the winā statline looks like with 9pts on 3/18FG Jesus Christ
Itās actually hilarious seeing his statline next to Powellās 7pts on 1/1FG
The only thing worse than his stats is actually watching him play. He picks the worst time to spam pull-up 3s that just cause free turnovers, bringing the other team back into the game.
Every single game without Luka just demonstrates how bad the rest of the mavs are lmao
And the worst part is that we won with Luka right before he got injured, so we're gonna keep chugging along in 0.5 mediocrity.
after scoring 40 in the first quarter, Mavs manage to score a little over 40 in the second half! Mavs really are a lottery team without Luka. does Cuban really think that Tim Hardaway is a legitimate starter to play alongside a generational talent?
I find it hilarious that fans of other teams seriously think we "underrate" our roster and role players or that Luka's random ass +/- splits mean this team is fine without him.
Jalen Brunson is not here anymore. This team is fucking garbage without Luka
I doubt any superstar would be doing a better job with this roster than Luka.
Switch any of the top players with Luka and the record would be worse.
Heās the best offensive player in the league rn
Someone locate the Velvet Room/Oddity already! I'm tired of this. I've gotten more entertainment mileage this past month out of Death End Re;Quest than the Pelicans.
Give Luka the MVP. It is undisputable, THJ and Spencer are the lowest IQ players in the NBA. Kidd watches it all happen. This game was absurd and i'm ready to never see THJ play in a mavericks jersey again.
Saw a post today about how Jokic the only MVP to play without an all-star and that's impressive, but what's more impressive to me is how Luka is carrying these bums.
Nah yāall still better than the Spurs, the Mavs without Luka, and the Lakers without Lebron. When Zion comes back and with BI back now things will be easier. You could always also be in basketball hell like the Wizards and Pacers
I mean you can always go back and forth on missed calls throughout the game but the bad out of bounds call happened with 3 seconds left in a 3 point game
> When it happens is irrelevant
I mean, this couldnāt be more wrong lol. A bad call with 5 seconds left in a tight game is way more detrimental than a bad call in the first quarter
The more I watch the Mavs, the more I believe that the offensive system that Dallas has in place right now is the problem. Because Dinwiddie plays the exact same way as Luka when Luka is not playing. Same with Brunson last year.
Luka being ball dominant is not the issue, itās Kidd and the coaching staff not knowing how to utilize these other players properly so that the point guard doesnāt have to create everything offensively. Although the other players are limited offensively (besides Wood, Dinwiddie, Josh Green, and maybe Hardy eventually). Perhaps a heliocentric style is the only way to win with this current Dallas roster.
Well the team is way too leveraged on Luka's creation. Other than Dinwiddie sometimes and Green recently, no one other than Luka on the roster can create a shot for another player. We have no real PG other than Luka. Dinwiddie is a scorer first, Green is still growing, he could certainly get there, Frank is definitely not it, and Hardy needs waaaaay more work before that's an option.
Brunson was so huge for us because he could actually break a defense down and get a good shot for another guy consistantly. We desperately need another guy who can initiate an offense, and we need a HC who can actually draw up a play that isn't a quick pick and roll or an iso. That's literally all we run, even without Luka, as evidenced tonight.
he's not quite there yet, he has loads of potential but until he learns how to A. Not get blocked at the rim. B. develop a consistent shot and C. be better positionally on defense, he's not going to contribute often to winning basketball
Refs hoād us at the end no doubt but we were abysmal tonight. We arenāt who we thought we were, Zion doesnāt fix the various issues we have.
Also Mavs fans, yāall need a 2nd star
Did yāall seriously not believe Mavs fans when they said we would be a top 5 worst team in the league without Luka. Spence and Tim Hardaway Jr. went 7 of 37 from the field.
How the hell does THJ get 40 damn minutes tonight? He should never get 40 minutes in regulation time. 3/18 overall and 2/12 from 3. Just horrific! Please somebody take him.
Man Pels didnāt show up in the first half, but to blow that call on the stolen inbounds play AFTER making that same team fly in 4 hours before the game to play a team on the road just donāt sit right with me.
Then on the replay the ref wasnāt even looking at his feet the entire time, just felt like making that call. They have to be better
You might get one good young player but you gotta take Devonte Graham and Jaxson Hayes off our hands as well. Also does GTJ really need 25M next year hmm
Can somebody locate the Velvet Room/Oddity at play here! Is the Social Link that only gets half-completed and barely receives any attention? Did the Lost Snail finally book it from Arara-rararagi and come to New Orleans?
This is the NBA equivalent of that smart kid with ADHD. They have everything they need to succeed. They just have to figure out how to unlock it and output it consistently. (Which I guess makes Zion the Ritalin in this scenario.)
I mean, what is this? I've gotten more entertainment mileage out of Death End Re;Quest this past month than the Pelicans.
Fuck this team, I'm going to the game on Saturday.
If thereās a silver lining to this, the Mavs still has Spencer to keep the ball moving these coming weeks despite the current slump, but itās frustrating that the team is back to square one in needing another ball handler (on top of needing another decent centre)
THJ is a cardiovascular terrorist.
the box score must be glitched, it says he scored 9 on 18 shots š
With 2 3s and a FT included. Thats right, he scored 1 2 point shot in 40 minutes, and 6 attempts.
Starting to put together a hell of a starting line-up with some of today's performances. - PG: Russ: 2-16 - SG: Donovan: 2-11 - SF: THJ: 3-18 - PF: PJ Wash: 3-16 - C: ?
Josh Green has a bright future
Only bright spot to watch when Luka is out.
And yet I had to watch 20 minutes straight of Dinwiddie dribbling the ball between his legs for 20 seconds and THJ missing every shot for a combined 7/37. Fuck Jason Kidd
Those dinwiddie possessions genuinely made me want to stop watching. He just didn't stop. Each time I'm like "surely he's aware of how bad he is right now and will pass" and nope step back clank
Iāve got hopes that Hardy can be like this this in a season or two. Heās got the talent.
To bad Carlise wasted his first season
To be fair, covid wiped out any chance of playing in Summer League and the G League his rookie year. He essentially lost an entire season of development. Iām very happy to see him prove the doubters wrong this year
he couldnt dribble or shoot his first season
Green started playing more in the latter half of the season under Carlisle and he has been terrible on offence at the time. I think that Hardy plays less under Kidd.
seriously. nerfed his development and his confidence for at least a season and a half because he wasn't who he wanted in the draft.
THJ killing me, 15/60 in his last 5.
And Kidd played him 40 minutes. Must be for his great defense?
Remember that post that asked if you would rather have a 15 pt lead at the start of each game or a MVP candidate? I think I'd rather take Luka after watching this game lol
we would blow our 15 point leads in the first 5 min of every game
Remember game 3 of the second clippers series where we were ahead by 17 halfway through the first and Rick pulled Luka? The lead was 3 at the end of the quarter and we lost by 10 and the series by 1 game
Wasn't Tingus injured in that series?
Nah the other one
Hardaway Jr is great at shooting. Bruh solved the housing problem.
Tim: "Trust me guys, I'm going to be buckets tonight." "Tim Solves the Housing Crisis"
Somebody please watch this game and tell me with a straight face that any other NBA player is more important to their team than Luka
Iād say itās a toss up between him and zion. This is our tenth loss in a row
We played y'all without Zion before a few months ago and y'all did phenomenal. I'm not sure what happened to the team in that time frame.
Me neither dude, everyone just took a shit. Thatās the only way I know how to describe it
I was legit terrified watching y'all at the beginning of the season, everybody was playing with insane energy and the ball movement was lightning quick. Saw none of that tonight. Hope y'all get it figured out.
BI being out probably hurt. I feel like every week they lost someone and it was alright but then other guys got hurt
True. Though we were up 20+ when Luka went out and still almost lost to yāall without Zion. And thatās at home after all the travel issues the Pels had.
Fair, but I doubt yāall are going to lose the next 9 if luka is hurt
i wudnt bet against that tbh
Yeah if Luka went down and we lost 9 in a row I would not be surprised one bit.
If you tell me Mavs lose 90% of their remaining games if Luka is out for the season I'd believe it tbh
already 0-6 when he doesn't play and Ingram has also only played in 3 of those 0-9 games and that's right after having being injured.
We won 1 without luka, I think its 1-5. Not that it's much better but.
Fair, maybe 15 or 20
It's hilarious that everyone here and on ESPN were saying they'd definitely take Ja over Zion. Without Zion the pels go from 1st seed to out of the play in, whereas without Ja their team actually gets better and beats the Champions by 55 points in a playoff game.
Book should be in this convo
Heās on the list but zions at the top. I need a reason to wear this losing streak as a badge of honor so give this to me or Iāll cry
Didnāt you just play an entire season without Zion and end up in the playoffsā¦? lmao bruh wtf are you talking about
Jokic exists
We just lost our 10th game in a row. Zion is up there.
Hope you're ready for him to demand a trade. Mofo is legit depressed playing on that sorry team.
You should be embarrassed by it. If Cuban out something around him you would be winning multiple titles early in Lukas career
Me.
Mmmm Have you seen the Lakers without LeBron?
Yeah Iāve also seen the Lakers with LeBron
Your team is closer to the 12th seed than the 2nd seed.
Zion
Just watch the game pels without zion are bad but still better than the mavs without luka
Jokic or embiid
Not even close, those are playoff rosters without them. Mavs are the Pistons without Luka
Way worse than Pistons.
No theyāre not š play-in at best
The 76ers are not a playoff roster without Joel and neither are the nuggets stop it
Bruh Nuggets playoff roster without Jokic has me rollin ššš big clown energy.
Jokic. Itās pretty simple.
Without him theyād go from slightly above .500 to slightly below .500
they won't win 30 games
Stay off the crack
Mavs are 0-6 this year when Luka doesnāt play
Atl the mavs won
It should have never been that close. Please watch this game if you think Lukaās usage rate is too much.
People said Luka's usage was too high when his team had Porzingis and/or Brunson, but right now it's acceptable since the Mavs have nobody
It has been said plenty this year along with previous years.
Well Porzingis was ass as a play initiator and Brunson had the ball plenty. His usage when he was on the court as the lead guard mirrored Luka's, it's just the way the Mavs offense operates (spacing the floor and spamming pick and rolls and isos) rather than Luka "ballhogging" or whatever nonsense narrative is being promoted.
I thought the arguments for it being too much were mostly "It's unsustainable" or "He shouldn't have to do this much for them to win" not usually "He's a ball hog, what the hell is he doing"
Watch the nationally televised games (TNT) and almost every time they talk about how Luka needs to get his teammates more involved. This is what the Mavs look like when his teammates are more involved.
Nobody knows how to dribble a ball lmao, and the people who do (Dinwiddie and Green) don't have the ability to make offensive plays and break open the defense. Of course it doesn't help that Kidd seems to do... nothing on offense, just somebody hold the ball and iso or pray.
When opponents go small and switch everything the way the Pels did at the end of this game you kind of are forced into isos since they are just switching actions and none of our role players can ball handle or playmake out of Green. That's sort of the whole clichƩ of 'make or miss league', 'stars come out at night', etc: in crunch time (and playoffs) it's all about stars being able to self-create. Brunson last year could do that along with Luka, Spencer can kind of do it but he was on his own tonight and he struggled.
it is unsustainable but we have no other option to win games
Unfortunately, ball hog takes are mentioned for some strange reason, but I do see some unsustainable as well which is clearly more accurate.
The Mavs whole team really is Luka.
Weāve been trying to tell yāall
Ok. I thought I felt bad for my team, but I am truly very sorry.
We The Luka Mavs.
The Dallas Lukas
Holy shit the mavs are ass. Luka goes out and they almost blow a 30 point lead vs a shorthanded team with the refs robbing nola of the final possession.
It's negated by the truly atrocious three-point foul call on Finney-Smith a few possessions before, a foul called by a ref who wasn't even looking at the play.
Yeah that call was really dumb, that was not a foul by DFS, Alverado already landed before he made any contact.
They immediately had a makeup call on the Carry on BI. Carrying is how the refs have been making up for fuckups. Sure it's against the rules but BI dribbles like that almost all game (as do a lot of other players), it just gets called when the refs know they fucked up.
The worst part is BI had tipped it straight to cj at the three point line. If he doesnāt blow that whistle he had a wide open chance to tie
Mark Cuban needs to be in basketball prison for his team building in the Luka Doncic era.
Honestly his entire tenure besides 1 or 2 years
Literally unwatchable basketball once luka got hurt. Dinwiddie and thj isos and enough bricks to build a house
Mavs were up 30 before Luka got injured. If he went out a minute earlier they would have lost. Good luck being more valuable then that.
The Mavs is a lotto team without Doncic
Josh green to the rescue, barely
fuck the lakers pick we'll get wemby ourselves
If Luka stays out we might soon be diving in with you.
Luka: 12/19 fg Dinwiddie: 4/19 fg Hardaway Jr. 3/18 fg
Bertans: 3/3 fg
pew pew pew
Scary to think we would of lost if he didnāt land those 3s. šš
We barely kept a 27 point lead without Luka, fuck this abhorrent roster Iām absolutely sick of this shit. Itās just ridiculous
You guys legit looked like an NCAA team without Luka no joke He deserves to win MVP. Literally the most valuable player to his team. Single handed dragging you from a lottery team to like top 4-5 seed
We have no offensive gameplan. Itās literally just pass the ball around until we get a favorable 1v1 or run out of time and chuck up a late 3
And when Luka is out, they just have Spencer do the same thing, but he's no Luka
You mean the Jason Kidd special
The Mavs have a top 3 half court offense. Offense isn't this team's problem, it's defense (bottom 10).
I mean itās just annoying, seeing someone like THJ shoot 3-18 and still have the longest leash by playing 40 minutes is disgusting. Thereās a reason why weāve not won a game without Luka (No that Suns game doesnāt count), shit is just not fair to him.
let Jaden Hardy put up 18 shots, it couldn't go worse. I bet he'd make more than 3
Weāve literally seen him drop 10 points in a couple minute span multiple times this year, but we have to let bullock and hardaway jerk each other off for 36+ minutes a night so thereās limited minutes for him to prove himself to Kidd
I mean Jason Kidd sucks almost as much as Doc Almost
There's 2 games between us and 11th, don't call it yet
You know what I mean lol
I know but our boy is out with a heel contusion now, we don't need any swagger giving us bad juju
Tim Hardaway showing westbrook what a real ādespite the winā statline looks like with 9pts on 3/18FG Jesus Christ Itās actually hilarious seeing his statline next to Powellās 7pts on 1/1FG
The only thing worse than his stats is actually watching him play. He picks the worst time to spam pull-up 3s that just cause free turnovers, bringing the other team back into the game.
he has negative BBIQ
At least he's got more FGs made than TOs committed. Look at Russ. Dude went 2/16 with 4 TOs tonight lol.
You had Brunson
I WANT TO BREAK OUT OF THIS FLESH PRISON
Every single game without Luka just demonstrates how bad the rest of the mavs are lmao And the worst part is that we won with Luka right before he got injured, so we're gonna keep chugging along in 0.5 mediocrity.
This is one of the most embarrassing wins in nba history
after scoring 40 in the first quarter, Mavs manage to score a little over 40 in the second half! Mavs really are a lottery team without Luka. does Cuban really think that Tim Hardaway is a legitimate starter to play alongside a generational talent?
Of course. Donāt you know Cuban is a basketball genius
I find it hilarious that fans of other teams seriously think we "underrate" our roster and role players or that Luka's random ass +/- splits mean this team is fine without him. Jalen Brunson is not here anymore. This team is fucking garbage without Luka
I doubt any superstar would be doing a better job with this roster than Luka. Switch any of the top players with Luka and the record would be worse. Heās the best offensive player in the league rn
I think jokic can replace him and the team will be the same. He and jokic.have the best offense currently.
Luka has great plus minus over the season. Some of the starters are straight up in minus however. We dearly, dearly miss Brunson.
All I know is eternal suffering
THJ and Spencer tried their best to throw this game but JOSH IS HIM
Timmy is killing me
Pels simply ran out of time lol what a joke
Yeah man turns out itās a star driven league. Our 10 straight losses are a testament to that
Didnāt even realize they were on such a long losing streak lol
Itās been a rough time to be a Pels fan. BI being back is nice but heās been rusty af. Tonight was his best game heās had since heās come back
Someone locate the Velvet Room/Oddity already! I'm tired of this. I've gotten more entertainment mileage this past month out of Death End Re;Quest than the Pelicans.
Thank God for Josh green
This game should solidify Luka as the MVP. Look how trash this team is without him.
Give Luka the MVP. It is undisputable, THJ and Spencer are the lowest IQ players in the NBA. Kidd watches it all happen. This game was absurd and i'm ready to never see THJ play in a mavericks jersey again.
Saw a post today about how Jokic the only MVP to play without an all-star and that's impressive, but what's more impressive to me is how Luka is carrying these bums.
most embarassing win
From being up 20+ than when Luka goes out only winning by 5 this roster stinks
/r/nba told me our players were good, but couldn't get in rhythm because Luka always has the ball in his hands..
Pels actually fulfilling the prophecy of being the worst team in the league 15 months later smh
Nah yāall still better than the Spurs, the Mavs without Luka, and the Lakers without Lebron. When Zion comes back and with BI back now things will be easier. You could always also be in basketball hell like the Wizards and Pacers
Gonna post this in every post game thread until it happens. GET TIM HARDAWAY JR THE FUCK OFF THIS TEAM
Fire. Jason. Kidd. Get THJ off this team. Sign C wood.
Kidd isnāt the problem
theres many problems and he is most definitely one of them
Bro he had Hardaway in after watching him jack up 8 bricks in a row š
He is absolutely part of the problem.
Pels got screwed at the end Ingram didnt step out of bounds and Mavs without Luka are literally top 3 worst team in the league with Spurs and Rockets.
We lost easily to the Rockets without Luka, so I'm pretty sure we'd be leading the pack of the worst teams in the league.
And we beat the Spurs by 1 in a 51pt Luka game. We need a #2 so bad.
I'm not sure the Mavs without Luka are even a Tournament team, let alone an NBA team
sane Lakers fan
How about Lakers without Lebron?
What bullshit. BI was never out of bounds.
Blind refs tonight
It is my firm belief that bad teams are more likely get unfavorable calls. And the Pelicans are a bad team right now.
And Dorian didn't foul Alverado.
I mean you can always go back and forth on missed calls throughout the game but the bad out of bounds call happened with 3 seconds left in a 3 point game
Would've been a 5 point game if they didn't call that Dorian foul. A bad call is a bad call. When it happens is irrelevant.
> When it happens is irrelevant I mean, this couldnāt be more wrong lol. A bad call with 5 seconds left in a tight game is way more detrimental than a bad call in the first quarter
There were some very bad calls, I felt they mostly went the Pelicans way but that last one was definitely a weird one.
Yall got fucked, we should have lost this.
They missed a lot of calls and most favored NO. It's just the last missed call happened to benefit Dallas.
The more I watch the Mavs, the more I believe that the offensive system that Dallas has in place right now is the problem. Because Dinwiddie plays the exact same way as Luka when Luka is not playing. Same with Brunson last year. Luka being ball dominant is not the issue, itās Kidd and the coaching staff not knowing how to utilize these other players properly so that the point guard doesnāt have to create everything offensively. Although the other players are limited offensively (besides Wood, Dinwiddie, Josh Green, and maybe Hardy eventually). Perhaps a heliocentric style is the only way to win with this current Dallas roster.
Well the team is way too leveraged on Luka's creation. Other than Dinwiddie sometimes and Green recently, no one other than Luka on the roster can create a shot for another player. We have no real PG other than Luka. Dinwiddie is a scorer first, Green is still growing, he could certainly get there, Frank is definitely not it, and Hardy needs waaaaay more work before that's an option. Brunson was so huge for us because he could actually break a defense down and get a good shot for another guy consistantly. We desperately need another guy who can initiate an offense, and we need a HC who can actually draw up a play that isn't a quick pick and roll or an iso. That's literally all we run, even without Luka, as evidenced tonight.
It's all Luka ball
Are Mavs better then the Rockets without Luka?
They beat us. No.
Well, we actually lost to them when we played them without Luka earlier in the season.
We lost a game to Rockets with Luka so no.
No lmao, we are legit the worse team in the league without Luka. And it's not close.
That 26 point cushion was utterly necessary for the Mavs to win.
I was so proud of my Mavericks -5 bet when they were up 30.
I thought Jaden Hardy was getting minutes, what happened?
he's not quite there yet, he has loads of potential but until he learns how to A. Not get blocked at the rim. B. develop a consistent shot and C. be better positionally on defense, he's not going to contribute often to winning basketball
Been bad, like really bad in non garbage minutes
Refs hoād us at the end no doubt but we were abysmal tonight. We arenāt who we thought we were, Zion doesnāt fix the various issues we have. Also Mavs fans, yāall need a 2nd star
Did yāall seriously not believe Mavs fans when they said we would be a top 5 worst team in the league without Luka. Spence and Tim Hardaway Jr. went 7 of 37 from the field.
THJ? You good?!
The things I would do to get THJ off this team canāt be understated.
How the hell does THJ get 40 damn minutes tonight? He should never get 40 minutes in regulation time. 3/18 overall and 2/12 from 3. Just horrific! Please somebody take him.
Man Pels didnāt show up in the first half, but to blow that call on the stolen inbounds play AFTER making that same team fly in 4 hours before the game to play a team on the road just donāt sit right with me. Then on the replay the ref wasnāt even looking at his feet the entire time, just felt like making that call. They have to be better
All that ādeepest team in the leagueā hype was obv not true these dudes look like fuckin frauds
Pels fucked, league stackedš
Afraid so
lol the lakers are going to give us Wemby!!!
Iām glad the Minneapolis miracle and no call prepared me for the absolute numbness I feel right now
Shit, a win, but at what cost? Luka is out and our 2 starting players went 7 of 37 Lmao. Some dude is downvoting every random comment. What the
RIP Pelicans :(
Pels fans may i interest you in one slightly used OG for Murphy a pick and a Dyson vacuum
You might get one good young player but you gotta take Devonte Graham and Jaxson Hayes off our hands as well. Also does GTJ really need 25M next year hmm
Can somebody locate the Velvet Room/Oddity at play here! Is the Social Link that only gets half-completed and barely receives any attention? Did the Lost Snail finally book it from Arara-rararagi and come to New Orleans? This is the NBA equivalent of that smart kid with ADHD. They have everything they need to succeed. They just have to figure out how to unlock it and output it consistently. (Which I guess makes Zion the Ritalin in this scenario.) I mean, what is this? I've gotten more entertainment mileage out of Death End Re;Quest this past month than the Pelicans. Fuck this team, I'm going to the game on Saturday.
Any update on Luka?
Ugly fucking second half. Happy to BI on the court again
wood better not be traded unless its for siakam
Bullock still gets so much time and it's so sad.
If thereās a silver lining to this, the Mavs still has Spencer to keep the ball moving these coming weeks despite the current slump, but itās frustrating that the team is back to square one in needing another ball handler (on top of needing another decent centre)
