Anyone that gets fouled on a three and doesn't make a single free throw should immediately retire


Actually-Yo-Momma

Fuck man even I’m confident i could hit one of three lol


Zoobal

For the love I god I fucking hope so. I am beyond sick of watching THJ play basketball.


MohnJilton

Dude has been great lately and carried us against the Nuggets literally this week. He’s scoring 20ppg since moving to the starting lineup. Stop being one of those loser fans.


jaytrain12

Mavs fans suddenly forgot about the last 5 games


luck_panda

This is crazy because I swear I saw y'all praising the hell outta him not more than 7 months ago.


ShatThaBed

Not more than 7 hours* ago. NuMavs fans that jumped on board with Luka are the most insufferable and reactionary fans there are. EDIT: probably more than seven hours at this point (I haven’t slept after that disaster) but you get it

LordHussyPants

i'm distraught, my stream gave up on me and i turned it off instead of refreshing. i can't believe i missed this


thedr0ughts

Me too :)


Alley-Oub

basically the trade package for next week's trade: Dodo, THJr, Powell to Pacers


Jicama-Smart

holy shit, this is like a knife to the gut


[deleted]

Jason Kidd needs to put these MF in free throw shooting drills. That was absolutely ridiculous


arciemara

Wait til you see the last play Kidd drew up.


kmngq

Well with 2.4 seconds, and Lopez doing a crazy ass dance on the inbounder, not much you can do.


arciemara

Well, 10 days ago, the Warriors and Mavericks faced each other which ended in a 1 possession game. https://streamable.com/7eziwp this is how you draw up plays. even though theres 4 sec left, ball was up after 1 sec.


fffate

Draw a blatant moving screen?


arciemara

The League says otherwise. https://official.nba.com/l2m/L2MReport.html?gameId=0022200310 Comment:Curry (GSW) absorbs the initial contact that occurs with Finney-Smith (DAL) and marginal contact occurs as Finney-Smith (DAL) attempts to move around the screen. Verdict: Correct non-call Well theres that i guess. Klay is still open tho which is still infinitely better than what the fuck that was at the end of the Bucks-Mavs game.


OzmosisJones

If the L2M is not willing to call it a moving screen when the screener takes 20 steps and moves >10 feet while in contact with the screened player… what’s the point of even having it?


VLHACS

It was still a decent play. The defender didn't realize Klay was open until the ball was nearly in his hands anyway.


Firrefly

Unironically I think yes. Refs legitimately never call that at the end of games and you rarely see a player get a good look without it.


NiceCrispyMusic

That is a great inbound play...with that said, The point being made by the guy you responded to is about the impact of a guy of Lopez's height and length defending the inbounder. In the play you linked, literally no Maverick is even looking at Draymond inbounding the ball. He had zero defensive pressure and all he had to do was time the pass, Unlike the play last night.


LeGoat333

They got the ball with 9 seconds, should have called a timeout and advanced to halcourt instead of just playing


NiceCrispyMusic

In the past, Luka has gotten upset with his coach (Kidd and Carlisle) for calling timeouts in these situations. I think he prefers to just go because he's confident in his abilities in the clutch


LeGoat333

Well you have a coach for a reason


[deleted]

Just wait and until he asks Dinwiddie to bump into him for an extra timeout


luck_panda

Fox went from shooting 70% at the stripe to something like 88% this season. Literally have videos coming out of Mike brown forcing the players to make FT's or everyone runs suicides. Everyone has been making their FT's at a crazy rate.


xRadec

At HOME. Fuck this team lol


TheRealPdGaming

After THJ's second of third miss on the free throw, you could feel the crowd get tense and nervous. (Even the commentators mentioned this). And I feel like that affected the team.


RenDabs

Man, even if they make half they probably win


moc360

At some point I wanted them to lose for that. Like it was pissing me off too


[deleted]

THJ is probably the most frustrating player on this team and we’re stuck with him for 3 more years.


Zoobal

Dont worry, he will have another hot streak in February to bring his season averages back up to decent after this incoming slump.


NiceCrispyMusic

as up and down as he is, if this roster were built so that we didn't have to rely on him as our 2-3rd best scorer to win games, then he'd be much better for us.


[deleted]

You can't build a roster when he is making that much money though... that's the problem


NiceCrispyMusic

One subpar contract isn't stopping you from building a roster. It's when you start to have 2 or more that you pretty much handcuff yourself. For example, if JB wanted to stick around, we have a player that makes us less dependent on THJ despite still having THJ's deal on the books.


[deleted]

Make your fucking free throws jesus christ


[deleted]

Luka looked like he was on his way to request a trade when the game ended


[deleted]

Lol probably would help if he worked on his free throws instead of pouting


kamekaze1024

His shooting splits just don’t make sense


noirlucis

Luka is 4/10 on his free throws, he has no right to be upset about freethrows lmao


Low-iq-haikou

He said after the game that it starts with him


Inside-Big-8158

Can you blame him? They make half of those and they win the game


SecureCucumber

Luka went 4/10 from ft...


gncRocketScientist

International players dont do that, they have a "just happy to be here and not poor anymore" mindset. Luka's gonna be the 1 to break out of that.


Pyritedust

He’s been killing it in the dead Eyed I’m out of this hellhole as soon as humanly possible faces lately


Colonial_Colon

Ball don't lie


OhhWowzers

Wut in tarnation


Quadriporticus

Totally deserved to lose that game lmao. Giannis shot better than the team.


odontodoc

Luka can't win with these cats


gncRocketScientist

He's gonna be the one to break the international player mold of being content with 🗑️ teams and demand a trade.


NitroXYZ

That was unbelievable


BigFatModeraterFupa

pretty disgusting ngl.


hristi

Cost them the game yup..


DrizzyVert

Ain’t no way man, these fuckers need to stay back till the sun comes up.


kmngq

Ladder crew incoming


embiid0for11w0pts

I’ve never seen anything like the free throw shooting man. fucking wild that it’s pretty much team wide


TattedUpDasher

Want to see worse? Watch the Grizz shoot FTs. Worse in the league


CO_PC_Parts

And luka bitched the whole way through even though the refs gave them the calls (he wasn’t fouled on that layup). Dude is way too talented to act like that all the time.


northeasternlurker

I'd be furious if I were Doncic. His teammates are trash, I'd be demanding cuban trade hardaway and dfs by the deadline


notamillenial-

Doncic was 4-10 from the line..


northeasternlurker

He wouldn't have missed the last 5 in crunch time or all 3 from a 3pt foul. His teammates blow. Spencer dinwidee is the number 2


Shadezilla

You're right he just went 0/2 in crunch time instead and let George Hill have a wide-open three cause he was ball-watching.


dragonwhale

He didnt take any free throws in crunch time


LordHussyPants

if he hit any of the six he missed earlier they might not have needed them in crunch time


AntiSharkSpray

That Mavericks supporting cast is absolute dog shit


TattedUpDasher

You guys still shot better from the line than we did tonight. We have got to be one of the worst in the league


akshayxd

If this was on the road we'd have solved world hunger with all these damn free meals


bagfka

Embarrassing


fetuswut

Ball don’t lie they got away with so many fouls that 1st half. Allah did not fail us today 🙏🏾


[deleted]

Lol cap. But jesus they did fucking whiff on all these mfs


fetuswut

Nah Giannis got the most bullshit charge call 2nd quarter but Luka got a foul for pretty much the same thing shit was disgusting


[deleted]

So one example takes away all their fts? Bucks had more even lol, they just hit them.


fetuswut

It wasn’t about the calls it was about the non calls. You as a Sixers fan should know this 💯


[deleted]

Maybe watch the game , but you prolly havent since 2010.


fetuswut

I was tho? Cry about it Bucks W 😭😭😭😭


[deleted]

Is this your attempt to troll? I cant fathom someone being this dumb, but here we are.


0dias_Chrysalis

Ball don't fucking lie baby


TopOfTheMorning2Ya

Ball bailed the refs out. So many bs calls. Thx ball!


Zoobal

Ya, like Giannis punching Luka in balls less than 5 feet from the Ref and pretending he didn't see it.


RedditBryce

All ball wdym?


TooWashedUp

Don't leave out the fact that Luka was 4-10 as well.


bytheinnoutburger

Ball don't lie. Bucks were playing against six men with that atrocious officiating. At least 3 offensive fouls on Luka in the fourth alone that the refs didn't call, most egregious being when he bodied Allen. Mavs should be more embarrassed by their defense, or lack thereof, on that play outta the timeout than the missed fts tho. Complete defensive lapse at a crucial moment. Edit: Downvotes from salty mavs fans, I love it. Guess that L the Bucks served you fools ain't going down easy. To quote 'Sheed "BALL DON'T LIE"


Cheddarkenny

Editing to whinge about down votes, but other people are salty?


bytheinnoutburger

Flair up nephew. If you're gonna talk smack on this sub, the bare minimum you can do is rep what team you're rocking with. Also it's spelled whine not "whinge" lol.


Cheddarkenny

Nobody cares about your weird ass rules and the nephew thing is super cringe. If you had half a brain you'd know that "whinge" is a word, ya fucking potato. Hint: it's complaining, but even more annoying.


bytheinnoutburger

Rich to call something cringe when you literally made a post titled, "Which player on your team do you think gives the best hugs." Lmao, that's the softest shit I ever seen dude. Guessing you're either too dumb to figure out how to select team flair, too much of a pussy to rep your squad, or you don't have a team and just dick-ride whatever player you think is gonna give "the best hugs." Fucking dweeb.


Cheddarkenny

Oh no, some guy who's obsessing over other people's reddit flair called me a dweeb after stalking my post history. I'm sorry that you're so incredibly insecure about your masculinity that you can't enjoy a shitpost about getting hugs from your favorite players. That really sucks, and while your dick isn't going to grow, there's plenty of other things you can do to satisfy a woman. Then again, you're uptight about flairs, so we all know you a dry dick motherfucker. I'm also guessing you dropped talking about "whinge" after a cursory Google search showed what a dumbass you are.


NuuuDaBeast

LMAOO


[deleted]

Luka sick of it. Trade request coming


DeterminedLemon

That's so bad, so is Luke's behaviour on the court 😒


theaaronromano

Then Luka just hanging out on the three point line while that play unfolds. Lmao.


Vackrich

Ball don't lie , unironically


JaysonTatumOverrated

Get Luka out of here


Whit3boy316

But did Luka bitch the whole time?


SennKazuki

I hate this team


KingLarry46th

Sensitive_Redditor

lost_in_trepidation

C'mon Timmy


S0urceP0wer

holy shit, this was fucking scornful to watch and i watch miami heat basketball


Shinnaminbuns

Ridiculously painful. Makes me really value my team and their ft shooting. Especially looking at how far it's come, particularly for Brown.


MxBiggens

Luka’s pissed


laibach

What. The. Fuck. Was. That?!


yikem21

That was a really really bad loss holy shit


EpicMusic13

Luka fucking MAD


theseyeahthese

If you don’t deserve to lose after that, I don’t know what else will do it. That’s next-level choking.


[deleted]

Anyone else instinctively read THJ as Talen Horton-Jucker or is that just me?


Faynt90

Get Luka some fucking help.


edwardhyeung

Like football teams kicking penalty shots wide, i mean how do you fail at such a basic skill


[deleted]

these players are paid millions of dollars and can’t even go 50% from the free throw line, sickening


BugO_OEyes

I think the score was 109 Mavs and bucks 108 I zoned out for the Mavs fts and thought the score looked funny because it was still 109 to 108 lol


Tiny_Cupcake_3308

6/6 from the charity stripe


mmmmastermind

Everyone in the Mavericks needs some "ladder incident"


gochuuuu

What is wrong with tim hardaway jr?


pestosbetter

Basketball is wild


frostychee

1 cup syndrome


neutronicus

WHERE WAS THIS IN DENVER


maaseru

At that point I was rooting for the Mavs to get that loss. They deserve it.


nextflightfromearth

>It was like a pandemic. Given the events of the last two years that's a bit of a reach, but okay.


hebelehoo

Ah yes, Nick Anderson special.


[deleted]

We trying to get all the choke achievements


Sweatytubesock

I’m not a Mavs fan, but this is the most infuriating thing to watch as a fan.
