These last couple games is the at least competitive hornets team I imagined going into this season

YizWasHere | Hornets

93 | 2 days ago

Seriously, it’s not even clear to me what changed but suddenly everybody simultaneously remembered how to play basketball. Mark Williams being back has obviously been a big factor and I think we probably benefit a lot from the extended break with those 2 postponed games, but it’s a pretty random swing in the right direction.

NotManyBuses | Charlotte Bobcats

72 | 2 days ago

Mark is clearly our 2nd best player.

2)Nick Smith Jr in the starting lineup gives us the secondary playmaking, spacing, and decision making we’ve been missing.

no more Nick Richards + Salaun bench lineups mean that we can play actual basketball instead of just slow disjointed PnR. Salaun minutes were absolutely killing us

YizWasHere | Hornets

13 | 2 days ago

Yeah I agree on the NSJ point. We were forcing Brandon into too many ball handling situations, NSJ has actually looked a lot more comfortable in that role and his playmaking has impressed me. Mark has also done a great job as a facilitator and a traffic control guy with the DHOs. Miles has really stepped up too, Mark’s presence might have a hand in that.

devomke | Bucks

8 | 2 days ago

I mean - Brandon hasn’t really had a ton of choice given the stretches where he’s had to take that role.

He’s so damn good but so damn young lol he’s still got a lot of room to grow.

deemerritt | Hornets

6 | 2 days ago

The issue to me is that Brandon was being forced into that role but we also aren’t letting him take mid range shots. To me it’s gotta be one of the other. His mid range was nice last year when he was the primary guy.

NaturalThunder87 | Thunder

He was the #1 ranked recruit in his class, or at leas a consensus top 2-3 player in his high school class. The pedigree is definitely there. His lone season in college was underwhelming, mostly because it was marred by injury and when he did play it usually wasn’t spectacular, in part because he was playing somewhat injured.

Past couple of weeks we’ve been resting all our starters and running all three G-League two way contracts and still kept games competitive. Coach Hardy can make almost any team work.

Dhr7468 | Thunder

-2 | 2 days ago

It’s our top two players and 3 out of 5 starters.

Lol69HaHaHa | Nuggets

1 | 2 days ago

Ok for starters we havent even seen Chet and Iheart start together (from what i heard Iheart was supposed to only start against certain matchups, though i dunno what the actual plan is).

Regardless its also arguable weather Chet or Jdub is your guys 2nd best player. I know Chet was better prior to his injury, but in general its close.

And even ignoring that, you guys are deep af. The bigger hit is just that you didnt have the size to comoete with the Mavs, along with missing Shai who carries your offense.

The Mavs for sure dont drop off that abdly cause Kyrie is there, but Kyrie didnt seem 100 at the time (coming back from an injury like that, i doubt he is 100 even now).

Luka needs no explanation, but Lively is arguably the 3rd most important Mav. He is their best defender for sure.

Dhr7468 | Thunder

-2 | 2 days ago

Cmon from a talent perspective, it’s not close at all between those two groups of injured players. And yeah we’re deep -with wing and perimeter defenders-we’re not deep at center and ball handlers. We had no rotation centers plus our only real creator. I love Jdub, he does a lot of different things well, but he’s just not there as a primary, especially compared to Kyrie. And you can point to some of the mavs bench but Ajay Mitchell yet another ball handler is out too. The mavs still had Kyrie Irving who’s way better than Jdub in the primary handling role. And still had one of their centers healthy in Gafford. I honestly think the hornets team they played today with LaMelo is better than the group we put on the floor Friday. Acting like it’s crazy to beat that version of the Thunder and then lose to the hornets makes no sense, which is what the original comment said.

Lol69HaHaHa | Nuggets

2 | 2 days ago

Nah i honestly dont think its crazy either way.

Just pointing our that this most certainly is not the best the Mavs could put out there.

Gafford is great, but youd really prefer to have both him and Lively.

And like i said, Kyrie isnt exactly 100%. Maybe rn he is close to 100, but not when they played the Thunder.

More just a casse of 2 top teams having some of their best guys out.

zcn3

-2 | 2 days ago

The Mavs have had weeks to figure out how to play without Luka. That was the Thunder’s first game this season without Shai, and JDub’s first game ever as lead ball handler. Last year we still had Giddey in that role, who played great in Shai-less games. It takes an adjustment period when the roster is missing its lead facilitator. You should know this as a Nuggets fan.

Lol69HaHaHa | Nuggets

-2 | 2 days ago

It does seem like something is missing this year compared to last year on the Thunder and Giddey seems to be it.

You should know this as a Nuggets fan.

Well there aint really an adjusment period, just an expected L.

Like depends tbh. Some games they manage to execute and others they dont.

Dont get me wrong, i get that.

But i view it as just 2 teams working with what they have.

Kyrie is nice and all, but he aint Luka. Especially fully healthy Luka.

Julian_Caesar | Mavericks

1 | 2 days ago

Except that the original comment was very obviously making a joke about the Mavs beating a good team but losing to a bad team. It wasn’t making a serious comparison between particular lineups.

So when the guy says “without XYZ, but sure” he’s clearly trying to make excuses for the Thunder losing to on the grounds that the Thunder lineup in question wasn’t very good. He’s not participating in the obvious joke, he’s trying to downplay the Mavs’ win.

And since he’s now changed the subject from “haha Mavs inconsistent” to “ackshually the Mavs win over the Thunder wasn’t impressive” then he’s fair game to get “ackshually’d” right back by the fact that the Mavs are just as depleted (if not moreso) than the Thunder right now.

Dhr7468 | Thunder

The original comment is wrong because the Friday version of the thunder isn’t good as the comment pointed out. The hornets lineup today would probably beat Fridays thunder. Very similar dogfight. Feels like you read stuff into the comment that wasn’t said.

Nah Klay got iced out. They didn’t give him the ball to shoot the whole second half then the first time they do is the game tieing shot and act surprised he misses it. Especially that one inbound he was wide open and dude threw it across the court instead. Felt like the team was intentionally avoiding giving him the ball and our 3 point shooting this game showed it. Every garbage shooter we had were chucking up 3s but not passing.

Terrible_Shelter_345

Kidd has a thought that is valid of conserving our stars. Kai and Luka will often get completely gassed by the late 4th when the game intensity goes up and they’ve already spent all game putting the team on their back.

Kai and Luka will see full court pressure bringing the ball up so I completely get it — I don’t understand though why the flip side has to be dinwiddie or Naji Marshall trying to get Kai the ball in a post up iso against Lamelo who is like 7 inches taller

It’s really bad. This mavs squad has no idea what to do to score down the stretch besides Kyrie and Luka isolation

Known basketball terrorist Jason Kidd found wandering around the woods after absconding into the night with his last remaining timeout.

GG Hornets, that was a fun watch with the 300 lead changes, even though the refs were ass on both sides.

Mavs with the unethical basketball:

²³⁄₂₆ ft and ⁶⁄₃₂ from 3 while the hornets: 13/18ft and ¹⁷⁄₃₉ from 3 missing 3 key players and still won.

Grimes gets around 25 minutes a night and has actually been super impactful this year. Easily our 3rd-4th best all-around player many nights since Luka has been out. Hardy, while not as consistent, still typically gets around 20 minutes and is our firecracker off the bench. He’s had an increased role this year with Luka out. So both guys are critical given the current state of the Mavs.

I legitimately expected and everyone else the mavs to win with gafforod pj, kyrie, klay. really says a lot about the mavs quality of roster construction if grimes is 3rd best player.

This Mavs team is doing everything they can to prove the Luka haters wrong. We were looking like legitimate contenders before his injury and are now looking like one of the worst teams in the league

Kyrie is not the “1b” to Luka 1A option that people thought on Mavs subreddit this game confirms it

We know he’s not a great defender, not necessarily his fault he’s just undersized

That being said if you aren’t a great defender 11-24 with 4 turnovers to 3 assists as your 1st option won’t cut it

brinxtruck | Celtics

4 | 2 days ago

Dude 11-24 is efficient when 8 of those shots are 3s and you make 3 of them. 33 points on 24 shots is super efficient. This is just crazy hating

Western-Election-997 | Mavericks

-2 | 2 days ago

Alright if I give him that then how about the 3 assists to 4 turnovers and being a -5?

And then defensively we know he’s not a great defender

cleaninfresno | Mavericks

This is crazy hate when our trash ass coach has no other way of generating offense and keeps defaulting to Dinwiddie floor general iso as his go-to.

Kyrie brute forcing a mini takeover and Gafford are the only reasons the Hornets didn’t blow us out.

Western-Election-997 | Mavericks

Gafford was generating offense and Klay can too if they pass to him

2PacAn | Mavericks

2 | 2 days ago

He’s an elite second option but a bad first option. It also kills us that Dinwiddie thinks he’s a second option now when he really shouldn’t even be seeing more than 15 minutes a game.

Luka is the first option and the drop after him is huge. This team isn’t even close to a play-in team without him.

AggravatingFinding71 | Pacers

Thompson has lowkey been one of the biggest disappointments from offseason moves. It’s just being overshadowed by how bad Paul George and Julius Randle has been.

Thompson just exists on the court pretty much every night.

ain’t his fault they ain’t utilizing him. it’s more apparent for PG or julius because they actually make plays for them and have them involved, so it’s more noticeable when they do bad. most of klay’s bad games have not been to his own accord. but even so, he makes up for it in defense. which is funny. apparently he’s only a defensive player now. they ice him out. bro only had 5 shots this game, lmao.

AtreusIsBack | Mavericks

8 | 2 days ago

Klay needs Luka, it’s that simple. Luka knows how to run the offense and find Klay with enough time on the clock that it’s not a forced shot. Klay had 5 shots this game. He simply wasn’t passed to.

cleaninfresno | Mavericks

5 | 2 days ago

Because Luka is the only one that understands how to play with him.

Kidd runs no plays or makes no attempts to get him looks. Every other player on the court like doesn’t see him or understand how to get him looks. He needs Luka to get him shots and when he does it spaces the floor so much and opens everything up. When you don’t have that he’s just running around out there getting stuck to like glue and not getting a chance to do anything.

jfrodriguez1983 | Mavericks

I’m so sick of dinwiddie man. Fine if you need him to play a few minutes but 30 mins Dinwiddie is brutal. Need Luka and Exum back soon or we are in trouble. Hospital Mavs! What shitty ass injury luck the last 2 seasons!

Nobody ever answers this question. Dinwiddie is doing the best he can in a role no one expected him to be playing for this much of the season. I don’t understand the hate at all.

cleaninfresno | Mavericks

2 | 2 days ago

The issue is Kidd is forcing him into the Luka role of holding the ball at the top of the key and trying to run the entire offense and create good looks out of nothing on the fly.

Dinwiddie is fucking vet min player. That shouldn’t be be his job even with injuries. He spends the entire possession frozen in place trying to read the floor and direct traffic, does a bullshit back and forth pass to Gafford/Lively/PJ that literally does nothing, and then either forces up a bad shot or throws a grenade because the shot clock is over.

A good coach would not need a Luka role to win games. A good coach would recognize the roster currently doesn’t have the personnel to but all the playmaking and decision making in the hands of a vet min player and maybe idk RUN SOME PLAYS? Motion? Screens? Try to get Klay more than 2 fucking 3 point shot attempts the entire game? No?

jfrodriguez1983 | Mavericks

1 | 2 days ago

I didn’t say about not playing him. I can acknowledge that we need to play him and still be sick of him. That’s why I said we need Luka and Exum back soon or we are in trouble.

The last minute of this game was literally unwatchable. Shit timeouts, poor offensive execution and a coaches challenge that was doomed to fail from before it was called.

The Mavs getting shit on by the Hornets is the dankest timeline. Even if it makes me laugh out loud at Mavs fans. This isn’t the way.

Imagine Dallas rumors of trying ti trade Gafford for a perimeter defender then he drops 31 and 15 with 7 blocks. No big deal.

Western-Election-997 | Mavericks

Kyrie has to start taking some blame I know he’s a fan favorite but 11-24 with only 3 assists to 4 turnovers is not going to cut it against the Hornets

1 minute to go down 2 and he walks ball up court slowly and tries a no look pass to Naji that goes out of bounds, effectively game over

jfrodriguez1983 | Mavericks

10 | 2 days ago

Kyrie is way way down on the blame list. The guy just came back from being out with a bulging disc and him and Gafford were the only reason this wasn’t a blowout. Absolutely no one else stepped up

Western-Election-997 | Mavericks

1 minute to go down 2 and he walks ball up court slowly and tries a no look pass to Naji that goes out of bounds, effectively game over

Obviously Kyrie’s a big part of the blame there, but Kidd 100% should’ve called a time out there

40 seconds left, down two… Call a TO and draw up a play for a quick bucket so you at least have time for another possession
