Thank you Nico.
NO Consistency! This team is done beyond done it’s time too break it up already this will always be the outcome where back to 5 players In the roster with 2 ways
It’s called the Luka effect
This team needs to trade Naji, Gaff, Klay so we can tank to the bottom five. If this team doesn’t try to tank than we officially have the dumbest management of any sports franchise. I don’t want to see this team win more than 7 games the rest of this season
Kyrie should sit out this year, ain't no reason to play him Dallas is trash
no shutting down players.. according to owner Dumont speeches … Dallas demands their players to play through every injury. Just like Kobe, Bird, Jordan, etc… or his players don't deserve to wear a Mavericks uniform.
Nick talking about Naji in the playoffs made me mad about the trade all over again
The only question at this point should be wtf is happening with the medical staff. This is not just "chance" anymore….
There’s only like 5 players left in the roster with out…. Bs
Trade everyone and the garbage of a coach already
Cooper Flagg not in shape 😢 sad to see..injury prone …sad
Shut down the whole team. 🤣🤣🤣
man this season is rough. Mavericks and Cowboys riugh years. But i think a good offseason and good health both teams can be playoff bound next season!!
Off to Google the theme music so I can get pumped on my drive to work
Mavs tanking again. Losers.
you dont shut players down. thats robbing from the fans. you play your ppl until they cant anymore.
Disgusting owners. Karma seems to work
We're getting closer to the one year anniversary of the Luka trade. How do you plan on celebrating Mavs fans?
Some how we don't talk about Lively when it comes to injuries lol Is he safe for this? Or is he one of you favorites 😂 At least Gafford and AD plays lol
Pretty much the exact injury situation as last year
How about that Caleb Martin game?
Honestly mavs need to make sure flagg is rested before each game, as well as the coaching staff making it clear to some of the players that if your not a high scorer stop trying to drive in the paint on a 3v1 i saw it a few times last night from guys who couldn't finish the job tonight, this created un nessesary shots and giving the ball back over this was a game they could have won even without flagg but ego's are getting in the way of actual ability and that needs to be addressed
Fire the whole medical staff! They’re obviously allowing guys to come back to soon!
ayton smart and jake have all been positive value contracts and lakers record is fake in the way it should be way better bc dealing with injuries entire season.
Fire jason Kidd now asap..
This team has been plagued with injuries ever since Nico fired Casey Smith was one of the most crucial blunders Nico made
Tonight was my first game this season I went to and everyone died 😂
Relegate the team to the Ge league.
No one is going to want to play here with fans like these.
🤡 content loading.
Every horse will die if you force him……i wonder when they will start to talk that they are fat all of them😅😅😅
NICO WAS RIGHT!! 😂😂😂
(I hope he's okay btw…🤗)
(p.s. : 😡😡😡)
How fun it was for you to host and for us to watch this podcast till just year ago 🙆♂ Nico should be in jail, what he did is pure evil crime
Damn I slept all night after work and I wake up to Cooper got hurt? No!
Lakers would be a bottom tier team without luka this year. Kind of like the mavs 🤔
Time to trade Gafford. Keep him out till 100% healthy then trade him and Klay for a 1st round pick. They need to learn their lesson and understand that players that are injury prone can't help you win games.
DISBAN THIS TRASH OF A TEAM & THROW THEM ALL TO BEIJING LEAGUE🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
This team is cursed
Ngl this is why I don't like Kidd.. He listens to the players too much.. use your common sense and rest players since you can't make the playoffs.. I disagree with slightly you rest Cooper on some days..What is the point playing him?
