  1. Losses like this happen. They suck, but they happen. Two seasons ago we lost every game against the Kings. We know this team has flaws and some guys played real dumb today. This won’t be the only game like this. Tomorrow is a new day.

  2. One of the must gutless games I’ve seen he Mavs play in years. 2 Abysmal offensive games in a row now.

  3. Incredible coaching by Coach Mosley. Not playing Paolo like Zion was a masterstroke. Sometimes it just can’t be helped.

  4. These games aren’t so bad if you stop watching before the 4th quarter. Just too many black holes on the offensive end

  5. Don’t worry. From the way Luka left the court after the game, he knows it better than anyone here what kinda night it was. Regardless if he rests tomorrow, I’m sure he will be back stronger.

  6. that looked like the worst game of the season. no energy from start to finish. no one wanted to play

  7. I came very close to missing the game and now i’m just? Why god? Why didnt u just let me miss this one?

  8. Everyone’s got rose-colored glasses from last year’s playoffs. Bullock largely played like shit all of last season. Only offense is being able to shoot uncontested threes at a 30% clip.

  9. Stop normalizing that shitty excuse on Bullock’s bad games. Dude’s supposed to contribute every fucking game, we don’t need to always wait for every mid/late season for him to heat up.

  10. 10 games in I can say this. They’re a 50 win team, but they don’t look like a team that will get back to the WCF. Rebounding is an issue even when Wood is healthy, and these cold steaks where people just stop moving and give zero effort need to be figured out if we’re going to have post season success.

    Edit: and Spence is awesome. He can be the 2020s Jason Terry. He’s making a home here and I dig it.

  11. Key Takeaways:

    * Not a shocking loss tbh lol. How to beat the Mavs: Be a subpar team and/or rest your best player
    * Off game for Luka, maybe due to fatigue. Forced a lot of bad shots, felt like he was holding the ball too much as well
    * No Wood off the bench was felt, THJ was bad. Green needs to be more assertive on offense, he’s our only other wing who can drive and score/kick
    * Defense was good but I mean…look who we’re playing
    * Offense is still Luka/Dinwiddie dribble 15 seconds and do something…Kidd needs to find ways to get others involved more

  12. Kidd’s gotta be more willing to ride with whoever’s hot on any given night. Maybe he stuck to the rotations since we’re on a back to back, but I would’ve liked to see them close with Green over Bullock, since Green will at least try and create something off the catch.

  13. This roster is atrocious. Excuses pouring out from people. 6-4 after 10 with an easy schedule and numerous issues which haven’t been addressed.

  14. The roster is already lacking scoring and playmaking. Any time missed by Dinwiddie or Wood will be a disaster. Wish Cuban wasn’t too poor to afford Brunson.

  15. Reggie bullock has scored 5 pts in the last 4 games. If he didnt make the money he does, he would be in frisco with the legends
