There are some Mavs “fans” who are upset that their team won this game. I am not one of those people.

burgersfriesshakes | Clippers

I want to see the Mavs make the playoffs and have OKC on the ropes just to see what the reactions from Mavs fans who quit on the team are like.

Tiny_Sherbet8298 | Mavericks

39 | a day ago

You think this Mavs team with Dinwiddie as the lead ball handler will have, statistically one of the best teams of all time, on the ropes?

burgersfriesshakes | Clippers

MJ Washington will find a way

ThvrstnMcSvenn | Spurs

11 | a day ago

They said, “Want to see…,” indicating not what they think will happen but what they hope will happen.

Hopefully that clears things up.

Tiny_Sherbet8298 | Mavericks

3 | a day ago

I read it as if he wants to see the Mavs make the playoffs, cause they will have okc on the ropes.

Which would be fair enough as the Mavs match up perfectly with the thunder, with Kryie playing. Without Kryie there’s 0 chance.

ThvrstnMcSvenn | Spurs

1 | a day ago

Fair, and I figured it may be interpreted incorrectly which is why I spoke up. Wasn’t being pedantic or rude.

Yeah, I agree. They need Kyrie. Dinwiddie being your starting PG isn’t a recipe for success. Unfortunately, Mavs are missing both Kyrie and Exum.

But, that being said, it would make sure great TV to see the Mavs give OKC a hard time.

As long as PJ exists, I’ll be afraid.

Unlikely-Piano-2708

2 | 21 hours ago

The addition of IHart is going to indirectly really mess up PJ. Assuming the Thunder go with their double big lineup of IHart and Chet, that puts JDUB at 3.

JDUB with his ridiculous wingspan is going to shutdown PJ. Dort is going to give keep Klay from having any space.

SGA is going to be rested on defense.

AD is going to have to carry the Mavs on Offense (like tonight) for them to even keep the game close. That’s going to affect his defense.

I just don’t see this OKC team losing more than 1 game (if that) to Dallas.

The regular season matchups don’t mean much since Dallas had Kyrie, (Luka for 1 game), and no AD.

OKC was missing Chet and IHart in all 3 of their losses. Chet also missed their win against Dallas.

What would be interesting about the reactions from fans who had the heart of their franchise unceremoniously discarded and decided to no longer support the organization responsible?

burgersfriesshakes | Clippers

5 | a day ago

I mean what about that wouldn’t be interesting. They got their hearts ripped out, then the team did everything they could afterward to alienate them, then all the injuries that got piled on, but then for the team to actually play well and look good in the playoffs against the favorites, the emotions would have to be all over the place. That would be every interesting to me.

NotLoriBethDenberg

Ah, I misinterpreted your angle. Saying “quit on the team” made me think you were going in the direction of scolding the fans who decided not to support the team after the trade.

It’s less about beating the Hawks. It’s more about seeing the guys refuse to throw in the towel this season. Fans who have stuck around cannot deny the heart and effort being displayed by the players (front office shenanigans notwithstanding). Now with the return of AD, Gaff, and DLive, they’ve been getting some dubs even without Kyrie. Plus, for what it’s worth, the Mavs are 3-1 against the Thunder this season (I know, I know, Chet and IHart were out those games).

_Meece_ | Lakers

Not uncommon to see one team overperform v a contender in the regular season and then do nothing in the playoffs.

But the Mavs also had Kyrie, Grimes for these games. Kyrie was a Thunder killer, he was very good at breaking down their defense.

Trust me it’s for the best. As someone who watches every Hawks broadcast, he has a habit of just sort of going off on random tangents that don’t really go anywhere, so I think Bob kind of has to cut him off to keep things on track.

And don’t get me started on mispronouncing player names. It’s been 68 games and he still adds a random T in the middle of Risacher, ends up sounding like “Wrist-a-shay”.

-Fancysauce- | POR

2 | a day ago

i was of the opinion that the Mavs won the trade short term until kyrie got hurt, and i still am. Short term they got better with Davis’s addition but long term lakers won getting Luka, Nico just did a few things wrong, first was underestimating Dallas’s love for Luka, and the treatment in the press of luka sealed his fate as a clown, BUT he got unlucky af with both injuries.

If the injuries don’t happen Dallas are scary right now, the narrative is way less one sided and they are having way more post season success than the lakers.

NotLoriBethDenberg

2 | a day ago

The narrative was always going to be insanely one-sided, the injuries just exacerbated it. The Mavs did not become a better team in the short term swapping AD for Luka. The team was built perfectly around Luka’s strengths and to support his weaknesses - AD makes the lineup fits worse as the team is currently constructed. All of which makes the trade even more insane and telling of Nico’s personal motives.

Lakers fans will down vote you for saying they won’t have postseason success but they remind me a little of when the Rockets traded Capela and played without a true center. Worked fairly well until the playoffs.

That ain’t the same. The Lakers not only have better players but they’re also bigger than that rockets team. Russ, Eric Gordan and Harden are all 6’5 and under. Also the team that beat those rockets… had LeBron…

I think that’s an oversimplification. You can be a Mavs fan who is disillusioned with the franchise’s current state/leadership and thus not care if they win or lose. Nobody owes a team their undying loyalty - they certainly wont give it in return.

If your mental health rides on whether a player is only a team you can’t control now, therapy is needed and life changes are in order.

NotLoriBethDenberg

4 | 21 hours ago

Therapy and positive life changes would benefit most people.

Clearly fans can’t directly impact a pro sports team. If you care about a team and they spit in your face, a rational thing to do would be to care less, which was my point that the trade drove a subset of Mavs fans to apathy.
