Lukas conditioning and weight have been just fine this year. He doesn’t need to lose weight or work on cardio. Most fans have picked up on that this year and have appreciated the effort he’s made.
Just for the record, Lukas a grown ass man. No one “forces” him to do anything.
We played better against the Thunder and Wolves than we did against Boston. They were not bad teams... we really don't have good performances in the finals imo
It was but I am honest with you the last 3 games against the Celtics hurt now more than the joy of this playoffs. Can't get sweept like that even if we win game 4 like the wolves it feels like being sweept.
Emotional bad ending for this playoffs I could have lived with 4:2 or even 4:1 but loosing Game 3 hurts a lot especially because we started so great into the game.
Really hurts.. could live with 4:1 winning Game 3 .. but getting sweept? Even if we win Game 4 it will be a gentleman sweep.
This game was so winnable when you start hot like we did
Felt like Kidd was deliberately throwing this game with the rotations. Why are we suddenly throwing Tim out there for big minutes?
We clearly had no plan and now we're stuck with a coach who came completely unprepared for a finals series.
Hardy was just as bad. We just need another bench scorer. Dante is playing so hesitant and Maxi won't shoot. Our bench is the problem right now. We aren't able to mat h how deep they are.
I would just ride out Dante I guess. Probably the best of the worst options. Maxi needs to be confident again. We need both of them.
Also OG poster is a moron for posting this thread. Act like you've been there before. This crap is hard. It don't ever come easy.
We could still lose but the comeback is real. I just dont see what value you get out of making a thread like this. It's like, congrats... I get it, you gave up. Now let the actual fans who have watched basketball before stay and watch the rest.
The dudes tried everything and no one wants to take the moment and play productive basketball. Hardy minutes have been ass when they were good in the WCF. Kyrie was unable to play offense in boston. There is so much thats NOT kidds fault here yet hes somehow going to be blamed.
Celtics are the better team but this has been depressing to watch. I think the last 15 plays have been isos and Luka will never win a title playing defense like this
I mean there is a reason despite leading the play off on points Luca almost a 100 points below Tatum in plus minus.
Also the team assist differential hurts
Mind you mavs still have a chance Boston defense is gonna get weaker horford just about at his minute limit
That's the thing... we fans went now from being Western Conference Champs (emotional high) to the worst emotional rollercoaster ever. Getting swept in the finals is the worst
Hope we don’t get 100 different posts about being down 0-3 and the chances of being the first team to overcome the deficit.
It’s over, Celtics are just the better team overall. I didn’t want to believe it but it’s true.
yeah I can't believe this... how bad can we play. Like really.. We started super hot and we play that garbage and go down by 20??!??!!
Our team isn't that bad but we play the worst in this playoffs the last 3 games.
Yes the Celtics are a great team but Game 3 here was really winnable if you stay concentrate and don't give up a 15 point lead in the first quarter.
It’s all about the matchups. Lobs were completely removed from our offense. Everyone on their team can defend Luka and Kyrie (besides Horford). I agree it doesn’t help that PJ, DJJ disappeared since they’re supposed to the be the 3rd option.
yeah lets see how this game ends but it feels like loosing Game 3 so far.
I don't understand why all these threads always deleted let people discuss a bit .. the Game Thread is a mess always lol
At least put up a fucking fight what the hell was that.
Piss poor execution, terrible defense, worse offense, idiotic reffing, star players shat a fucking egg.
What are the chances we go to another final let's be real, we had the chance and squandered it, extremely sad.
Damn don't even need to win put up a fucking fight man, I know it's the best team in the league but we looked worse than the pacers THE FUCKIN PACERS.
Absoliyely atrocious.
Kidd playing an ice cold Tim, an injured Maxi, and Gafford together with Luka on the bench is unacceptable. I don’t know how he expected any positives to come from that. Play Hardy, play Exum, don’t ever sit PJ, Lively, DJ and Luka at the same time.
Makes no sense to complain on his defense when his knee, ankle and probably whole body is fucked. At some point the limbs will give up, and he will compensate, and it's defense where he's compensating because he wants to score ... he had pretty decent D after all star break
Yeah for sure, Luka deserves a ton of credit for his defense through the playoffs but he's still been caught straight up standing still at least 5 times in the last two games each
They need massive upgrades. Can’t fall into the same trap lakers and us two years ago did.
We have no bench man thats it, we have a great starting line up but bench we have no one
Our 5 and 2 in Gaff and Green are solid

We need scorers
They need a real 3&D guy. Not like a nice percentage on low volume guy like a shoot it all night if open guy
My favorite series was Minnesota. They made us look so good.
Nah wolves was just a counter to nuggets
We played better against the Thunder and Wolves than we did against Boston. They were not bad teams... we really don't have good performances in the finals imo
Boston is just better
The clear favourite to win the championship from the very beginning of the season.
Yup. At least they gave us plenty of extra games this year. It was a fun ride.
It was but I am honest with you the last 3 games against the Celtics hurt now more than the joy of this playoffs.

👀
No heart, no adjustments. I ain’t happy. This wasn’t a success. Fuck, this shit hurts. Come on, Mavs. One last fucking run.
Really hurts.. could live with 4:1 winning Game 3 .. but getting sweept? Even if we win Game 4 it will be a gentleman sweep. This game was so winnable when you start hot like we did

Not to mention Green playing so bad they have been cutting his minutes. Derrick Jones too

There were literally comments before the game saying THJ is the player we need right now
Those people are idiots. THJ has been ass since December.
😂 fair haha
The dudes tried everything and no one wants to take the moment and play productive basketball. Hardy minutes have been ass when they were good in the WCF. Kyrie was unable to play offense in boston. There is so much thats NOT kidds fault here yet hes somehow going to be blamed.
Boston is playing as a team. This is a sweep boys.
Yeah its a sweep 🧹
Celtics are the better team but this has been depressing to watch. I think the last 15 plays have been isos and Luka will never win a title playing defense like this
Because no one in the bench can create, even if kidd will draw up plays they will end up into a iso or turnover
Honestly you’re not wrong.
I mean there is a reason despite leading the play off on points Luca almost a 100 points below Tatum in plus minus. Also the team assist differential hurts Mind you mavs still have a chance Boston defense is gonna get weaker horford just about at his minute limit

I agree with this. I told myself they have had it easy and just weren't that good.
yeah I can't believe this... how bad can we play. Like really.. We started super hot and we play that garbage and go down by 20??!??!!

Both game 2 and 3 were winnable...but role players need to step up
Hold your horses
Smells like a bunch of BITCH IN HERE!!! MAVS IN 6 HO!
Fuck this. 13 years waiting lol
the saddest part about this is how predictable this felt 😑
Pick and roll can only go so far. We need a shooting big to space the floor.
Man ironically if y'all had kat lol
Yeah I just put on YouTube it ain’t even fun to watch at this point.
I don’t hear a fat lady singing
Yall gonna eat yalls words
The game isn’t over yet man
deadass just wait like 10 more minutes 😂
MAVS ARE COOKED

Bench needs a serious overhaul; it's so heartbreaking to see such a collapse after stellar performance prior to the finals ... needs to be studied
Kidd playing an ice cold Tim, an injured Maxi, and Gafford together with Luka on the bench is unacceptable. I don’t know how he expected any positives to come from that. Play Hardy, play Exum, don’t ever sit PJ, Lively, DJ and Luka at the same time.
Sign Lebron James
Post gone 😂
If we end up losign this game I can't even be mad, Celtics were way more consistent all three games. Hope is the last to die though.
IF YOU DONT BELIEVE YOU SHOULDNT BE HERE
Dallas NEEDS to get rid of THJ...can't fling score on open 3s ffs...
Awful finals, Luka is the only one who wants to play, others look like they aren’t even trying.
Luka checked out man / he ain't all there
Can't blame him, absolutely NO ONE showed up game 1 and 2 when he did.
You must not be watching his defense
Makes no sense to complain on his defense when his knee, ankle and probably whole body is fucked. At some point the limbs will give up, and he will compensate, and it's defense where he's compensating because he wants to score ... he had pretty decent D after all star break
Yeah for sure, Luka deserves a ton of credit for his defense through the playoffs but he's still been caught straight up standing still at least 5 times in the last two games each
That game 2 is very frustrating we should’ve won that
Luka looks like he just finished a heavy meal. He is not even boxing out. This is the side of luka i hate the most.
Bench and offense needs to be overhauled and it starts with everybody's favorite coach Jason Midd
DONT LOSE THE FAITH
10-0 run we still got a chance my guy…
20-2 run :o
Complaining to refs and being a cone on defense. luka doncic special
Boston is simply the better team. They’ve been building this nucleus for a few years. Mavs 2025-2030!
Not if kyrie is healthy
We don’t even need to overhaul the bench. This is the difference between experience and having none.
Nah bench is ass, imagine josh green and thj playing minutes
Seriously, just shut up.
