[Lowlight] Klay Thompson attempts the game-tying 3 from the logo, with plenty time remaining on the shot clock (with a replay). Mavericks and Grizzlies commentaries
Tank Commander Klay!
he understood the assignment. Losing close games, every once in a while winning one, before going into hardcore tanking mode in February and March is just perfect. Vet move by Klay.
Are your fans wanting to tank? With AD, Lively, and Kyrie coming back it will still make this team competitive
They don’t have another first until 2030 and this core outside of Flagg is old. They need to do something to get him a costar that somewhat aligns with his timeline
And guess who owns next year’s pick
Damn you OKC!
They have the rights to swap 2028. Charlotte has DAL first in 2027 top 2 protected. Rockets / BKN have 2029 rights Spurs 2030 swap rights.
probably. they’re clearly not that good, and this is i think the last year for a while that they have control of their own pick for
Irving comes back around allstar/ post all star. They have no room to claw back lol.
We’ve seen them with AD and Lively, they have 0 chance.
Along with what the other guy pointed out, they have their pick this year, it’s the perfect time to tank.
Irving is not coming back this year. For what?
Melton got injured last November and he still isnt back. Kyrie will somehow be back in 8-10 months?
That was the forecast back then. Not saying he will.
Im just trying to picture out to him how bleak it is for Dallas to even try to be competitive
We need to tank it’s the last pick we control until I believe 2030. It was always nonsense to push for the playoffs with Kyrie out. Luckily Nico built a tanking team without knowing it: very little playmaking combined with almost no shooting, injuryprone star player and Dlo sometimes helps out as well.
I never thought that this team would do any damage. Delighted with the season so far.
Not a serious team.
Speaking from a bit of personal experience, embracing the tank is way more fun than any false hope
When Kyrie, AD and Lively come back the Mavericks will begin their preseason while everyone else is finishing their season and securing their playoff seeding
Mavs are tanking anyways might as well let Klay take it
I honestly don’t think I can watch the Mavs ever again, I’m still so heartbroken. Couldn’t even negotiate AR out of the deal. It’s so over.
So that’s why I seen so many clips of klay in his feelings tonight
Sheesh that was a terrible decision
17 seconds left on the shot clock and far past when they can even get a 2 for 1, what in the actual fuck was he thinking lol
The shot was also extremely deep and also contested as well lol. ….
Probably got mad Flagg faked him out with the hand off and threw it up lol it’s baffling
That’s more a garbage play from the coach
Klay has always had pretty dogshit decision making with the ball in his hands. He shot and defended more than well enough to still be a hall ot famer and win some rings but even then you did not want him taking the ball up in the half court or directing your offense.
He’s a hall of famer and one of the best shooters ever, but he’s also a generational black hole.
This is always how he played, he just doesn’t have the foot speed and lift in his legs any more to get seperation.
He needs to take a page from Ray Allen, who changed his shot diet as he got older to be more of a catch and shoot specialist. He can’t shoot these wild contested movement 3s anymore
Ray transitioned so well
every time i see Cooper Flagg pass the ball its either a turnover or just a bad pass
Ya got highly selective eyes
Bad decision to shoot but what was that pass from Flagg?
No real reason to go quick 2, with that little time left. It would be guaranteed free throws the other way. Gotta fire it up… You’d hope for a better look of course.
Hang it in the Louvre.
Klay doing Klay things
❌ washed Klay, ✅ tank commander Klay
Klay has been off for a few years now. If the Mav’s win the lotto again, it would be expected to be honest.
Actually I get this? Was a really bad possession, they didn’t seem like they were going to get anything going and he decided to take it and pray for a rebound.
Dude really is washed so badly
Wasn’t he irritated the possession before this because too because coop looked him off.
As a mavericks fan since the 2000’s, I say this with all my heart….get klay Thompson tf outta Dallas!😒
In this scenario (down 3) you don’t run the clock all the way down and then shoot a 3 to tie at the buzzer. You only wait for the last shot if you can win. So I don’t think it was bad to shoot as fast as possible, however it should be a much better shot than a logo 3.
I love KT, but life is not fair for him.
Klay was hitting all game but got iced out for majority of the fourth. Steph would have been getting him shots all night when he’s on like this, but mavs didn’t seem to try and feed him. So petty Klay said fuck it and pulled from the logo lol
This getting buried because Warriors fans are as soft as Klay
Klay just needs to hang em up before his knees give out on him some more.
He can’t run, can’t jump, can’t track back, can’t shoot, looks stiff.
Like yeah he hasn’t been the same post-gsw, but someone needs to protect him from himself
Nah. He just at the stage where he needs an actual elite shot creator and not Flagg’s fake outs. His main issue is he’s no good at shot creation imo
Klay’s always been at that stage to be fair.
Dawg I’m literally pointing out his own health lmaooo
When Klay played us(Thunder) we kept blitzing fast breaks back and forth past him and his legs were cooked.
If that’s not a sign telling him that his knees don’t work anymore then oh well. Blow those ligaments away
Are you talking about the game from this season? The one where he has no playmaker to cover his biggest flaw?
