Ethical tanking baby

Flaky-Mathematician8 | Heat

75 | 6 hours ago

I assumed Kidd threw in the towel by blowing all his timeouts before the last minute in a close game lol

mcg20k | Mavericks

48 | 6 hours ago

Thats just kidd lol. Did inexplicable things like that constantly even when the team wasnt dogshit.

Western-Election-997 | Lakers

31 | 6 hours ago

His go to play in a 2 point game at the end of the game was a miracle Luka 3 from halfcourt

Amazing how bad he is at drawing up plays at end of close games

Saint_Skeeter | Lakers

9 | 6 hours ago

“Contest w/o Foulling” vibes

Ironredhornet | Pistons

Hamm at least turns into Prime Pop in the IST

jyuuni

At least he’s learned to not fake spilling a drink anymore.

MSHinerb | Mavericks

1 | 3 hours ago

Dude doesn’t draw up plays. 90% of timeouts he’s not even in the huddle with the players.

YouStillTakeDamage | Heat

17 | 6 hours ago

Took a timeout just to say “pass the inbounds to a Heat player”, this is truly elite tanking.

Proof-Umpire-7718 | Lakers

7 | 6 hours ago

Should have gotten one of his players to shoulder check him while he was carrying a water bottle to get another timeout.

Vurtune011 | Heat

9 | 6 hours ago

Is that what was happening? Kidd’s decision down the wire was turbo confusing

Nuclearsunburn | Heat

5 | 4 hours ago

Highly ethical lol. There are some nice pieces on that team though, PJ continues to be a player I have wanted on the Heat forever and always kills us. Max Christie is also a guy that can stick around on a winning team.

StormTheTrooper | Mavericks

3 | 4 hours ago

We have some good pieces. Other than those two, Lively is a C that is improving every year (even if I’m starting to get frustrated that he doesn’t add at least a hook to his moves) and somehow we found an UDFA gem for the bench in Cisse.

If we indeed got Lamelo for AD, it would pretty much catapult us at least back to play in contention next season.

YouStillTakeDamage | Heat

105 | 6 hours ago

Tyler started 0-4 then went 12-14 including the bucket to take the lead in the clutch. Also had some nice defensive moments and worked well within the flow of the team.

God that was good shit to watch (ignore the terrorism of the first quarter)

Also why the fuck did Kidd take the last timeout so early lmao

Afraid-Department-35 | Mavericks

44 | 6 hours ago

Because Kidd is a bad coach.

cl353 | Heat

26 | 6 hours ago

or or extremely good tank commander?

AashyLarry | MIA

11 | 6 hours ago

Tyler looked so good man. That floater is a magnet ball.

Can’t wait to him and norm play off each other.

Renegadeforever2024 | Raptors

Miami miracle run gonna happen again isn’t it

youdingaling | Heat

46 | 6 hours ago

Dread it, run from it…

Number333 | Heat

39 | 6 hours ago

Ain’t a miracle run if we actually have homecourt in the 1st Round for once!

Books66

5 | 5 hours ago

Its that heat culture…did you see the jerseys

Zhirrzh | Heat

3 | 3 hours ago

Not a miracle run this time, we’re going to be top 4 in the East. This is us when we just got Tyler back (but Norman Powell and Wiggins were out) and we’ve missed Bam several games too. We haven’t had our best 3 players together yet. And we’ve had one of the toughest starting schedules in the NBA. The team is legit.

I wish we could force him to change that username. Seeing a Raptors flair under there makes me want to hurl.

DaBiggestHeatFan | Heat

His positivity for my team makes me forgive him for it

AashyLarry | MIA

I guess, but you gotta wonder what the backstory is behind the name. Did he just switch teams one day? Lol

shangalang69 | Raptors

its a bot

BowserBuddy123 | Heat

0 | 2 hours ago

I can’t tell bots well on Reddit. But his comment history is botty as hell. He seems to comment on every player/game/team and always just makes benign observations.

Kon has been really good from three

Bane is a good fit in Orlando

Man, makes me wonder how many peeps are bots on Reddit.

shangalang69 | Raptors

1 | an hour ago

idk how many there are but thats a really obvious one once you notice it is one of the first to comment on damn near every new thread in r/nba. makes very generic comments in the same format and often has weird looking typos that humans wouldn’t make.

cl353 | Heat

5 | 6 hours ago

it was disgusting without norm and herro not having his legs lol

carelesssportsfan89 | Spurs

64 | 6 hours ago

spo is on the dark magic this year with his offense lol

kmishra9

3 | an hour ago

It’s like when he popularized zone by taking the Bucks and Celtics out of what they wanted repeatedly. Now, hilariously, our ORTG and overall half court offense is so good the only way to slow us down is zone, even though we’re doing a fantastic job of attacking it and getting better. There’s no good answers against our offense right now, only less bad options.

Here’s your Mavs Post Game Summary. Brought back for our 9th season

This was originally started when the Mavs first started to actually be a lottery team in 2017 so it’s only right to bring it back now that they’re back in the mud

Did the Mavs Lose? ✅🏓🪖

Has AD been traded yet? ⛔

Tank Rolls On 5️⃣-1️⃣4️⃣

Anthony “Street Clothes” Day-to-Davis” Games Missed: 1️⃣4️⃣

Cooper once again quiet most of the game with only 8pts up until the final minutes of the 4th where he gets 2 clutch buckets and finishes with 12pts 🏳️💺🧊

PJ playing like he’s the franchise player instead with 25//7 & 2 Blocks 🉑🔥✋✋

Gaffney with a double double of ¹¹⁄₁₁ 🔟🔟

Max is probably our most consistent player with another 3 3’s finishing with 15pts 👌💦📊

Klay with 13pts to lead the bench 🛥️6️⃣

BWill with 12/2/5 👍👍

Just gotta keep racking up the losses to keep pace with the rest of the bottom standings. The Pelicans winning tonight does help a ton in closing some distance. We got the Lakers next 🪖😞

it’s almost poetic to see these again in these dark times

Proof-Umpire-7718 | Lakers

7 | 6 hours ago

Happy to see that Max is playing well.

He had an awesome start with you guys then regressed a bit, but he seems to genuinely be a greatly promising role player.

Our next game should be interesting. I think we both want the Lakers to win, or is this a game you’d like to make an exception for in regards to tanking?

StormTheTrooper | Mavericks

2 | 4 hours ago

We love Max. Every thread in our sub will either treat him as untradeable alongside Flagg and Lively or in the tier of “only move for some godfather offer”. I don’t think there’s more than 10% of Mavs fans that doesn’t just treat him as our long term starting SG

Nice-Divide2451

6 | 5 hours ago

LMAO seeing you post this brought me back I was a senior college what now like 8 years ago? I remember seeing your comments on PGT’s ever day about tanking for Luka, sorry these are back to being about tanking again, but I appreciate the nostalgia trip mister CheetahSperm18 hopefully you aren’t also a Cowboys fan

SmallAd9435

Wtf is Gaffney?

Cmon AI

CheetahSperm18 | DAL

6 | 4 hours ago

It’s a running joke for Daniel Gafford because one game (against the Thunder in the 2024 playoffs iirc) where the commentator kept calling him Gaffney

blackwood1234 | Thunder

lawschoolthrowaway36 | Lakers

Just an absurd decision by PJ to launch a contested three with 5 seconds left down 2 points.

Mavs continue to beat themselves in crunch time. No clue what these guys are thinking.

Candid_Sand_398 | Heat

He was a human highlight reel tonight.

Standard_Pause_3238 | Pistons

27 | 6 hours ago

The Heat’s offense is very captivating. It’s a lot like the Grizzlies offense from last year

EightFortyDaysOf

43 | 6 hours ago

Likely bc they hired the offensive coach responsible for the grizzlies offense last year haha

Standard_Pause_3238 | Pistons

18 | 6 hours ago

Oh shit I didn’t know that lol.

I love the approach though. I respect any team that takes on a new style of play.

EightFortyDaysOf

12 | 6 hours ago

Yeah bam & Powell even had a segment on one of the shows (the Amazon one I think?) where they broke it down a bit

clear831 | Heat

5 | 6 hours ago

Attack from 5 out set, players rotate till they get a miss match or open shot.

Nuclearsunburn | Heat

6 | 4 hours ago

Well to be fair last year looked like a clogged toilet so we had to do something. Amazing what adding a new system and a gifted second scorer like Powell can do for you.

BowserBuddy123 | Heat

2 | 2 hours ago

They’ve talked about being embarrassed after our playoff meltdown against Cleveland. Then Cleveland was themselves embarrassed against the Pacers. They knew they needed to change stuff up. Worth noting too that after maybe a 10-12 game stretch of wretched basketball after the Jimmy trade we ended the season great last year before our playoff drubbing. Hoping we can all go undefeated into Friday and our teams show out. Will be cool to see the Duncyard dawg again.

cl353 | Heat

10 | 6 hours ago

its influenced by the same guy the grizzlies let go late last season

Standard_Pause_3238 | Pistons

Reminds me of hockey offense. Constant movement & always trying to find space. Really fun to watch.

cl353 | Heat

8 | 6 hours ago

theres a really good video on it by Thinking Basketball on youtube. its basically just trying to get max advantaged iso constantly which explains y jaime is so successful this season lol

Ironman2131

4 | 5 hours ago

When the Heat are making shots the offense is a blast. It got gummed up a bit by zones recently, though, so adding another shooter like Herro will help out. Plus it’s not like Miami can’t just run more PnRs if they want.

Candid_Sand_398 | Heat

3 | 4 hours ago

I feel like they have gotten better every time in scoring against the zone.

Bkeets3 | Heat

24 | 6 hours ago

Gritty game from the Mavs. They need some better coaching, ridiculous how uninvolved Cooper is in the offense. Nembhard needs a starting role.

Dear-Rate7490

12 | 6 hours ago

lol every non Mavs fans realize this when Mavs come into town

BowserBuddy123 | Heat

1 | 2 hours ago

It’s also crazy just how little movement there is on their offense. It’s so stagnant.

Afraid-Department-35 | Mavericks

15 | 6 hours ago

JKidd once again unable to draw up ato plays. And Coop too unselfish, he should have taken the final shot.

cl353 | Heat

13 | 6 hours ago

ware is my father and also herro’s going for that dpoy bonus incentive in his contract lmao

sebastianqu | Heat

Fontecchio really tanking his 3P% this game. All good, though. Good teams find ways to win, even when things don’t go as planned.

clear831 | Heat

Salary fillers are nice tbh, but we really dont have the assets to make a big move either so are pretty useless

sebastianqu | Heat

2 | 6 hours ago

We’ll need to send a few picks to the Lakers first for the privilege of dumping his salary.

Seref15 | Heat
