RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - donzingis38 - 02-12-2024 Gafford looks small in this game for some weird reason RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - SleepingHero - 02-12-2024 The shot selection is disgusting. Throwing up prayers. Only Josh and Kyrie are trying to generate good shots. Gafford too. Its like Luka is allergic to passing the ball to PJ this game? Luka is allergic to making a good play this game is a better way to describe it. He's totally checked out and is playing ref ball. I don't know why I'm continually surprised when he's done this for 2 years now. Kidd is maybe trying to tank the team to build some sort of adversity with the lineups he's running. He left Luka and Kyrie in for almost the entire 1st quarter and tried to run 3 and 4 guard lineups twice now and kept PJ on the bench. This is just embarrassing as a team that DLive says "we're a darkhorse". Dark horses don't perform like this against a bottom feeder.

Can already tell that it is going to be a love/hate relationship for me. Love the offense. Brandan Wright vibes. Rebounds and dunks all day long. But I almost get KP vibes when I watch him on defense. No matter what else he can do the pick and roll / perimeter defense is a deal breaker for me.

That’s why he will be the back up and lively will be the starter. Remember, the starter is injured right now.

At this rate he'll need 30 shots to make 6! RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - KillerLeft - 02-12-2024 I think it’s very clear that the chemistry of the group is going to take a while now that these new guys have been added. We are going to have to be patient. They have not played together. RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - SleepingHero - 02-12-2024 Gafford with incredible timing there on the Deni block RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - dirkfansince1998 - 02-12-2024 (02-12-2024, 09:32 PM)SleepingHero Wrote: Gafford with incredible timing there on the Deni block It was a foul. But I am not complaining. When he isn't asked to step up beyond the FT line and can play help side defense he looks great. RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - SleepingHero - 02-12-2024 Luka going for highlights instead of winning The Wizards aren't even defending the Mavs and the Mavs are shooting 37% from the field. 7 point lead. Luka and in turn the Mavs, hasn't learned anything. RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - Jym - 02-12-2024 Luka treating this game like it's the 2nd quarter of a game where we're up 20 RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - BigDirk41 - 02-12-2024 Kidd needs to be fired. He never has his team ready to go against the bad teams. RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - Mavs2021 - 02-12-2024 This is a true team. Everybody good on Saturday. Everybody shit today. Bagley leads all players in +/-. RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - donzingis38 - 02-12-2024 Mavs really gonna lose to the Bullets RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - dirkfansince1998 - 02-12-2024 Easy to see why so many of us thought that Avdija would have been the best possible trade deadline addition. Great performance. He can run the pick and roll. Can attack closeouts. Has great timing on cuts. RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - SleepingHero - 02-12-2024 Luka 1 for 5 on 3s. How many of them have been transition/early shot clock threes for no reason? THJ 1 for 6 on 3s and can't buy a single bucket. He's just throwing anything up there and hoping for the best. How many lazy passes have these guys thrown tonight? NO sense of cohesion on offense or defense. And it all starts and ends with Luka. It's year 6. NO other legend of the game takes games off like this. E M B A R R A S S I N G RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - KillerLeft - 02-12-2024 They are still learning how to play with each other, but the low effort didn’t help. On the bright side, I thought the Kleber/Washington lineup worked well for the 2-3 minute stretch it got. I’ve got that one circled for the playoffs, and I hope Kidd does, too. RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - BigDirk41 - 02-12-2024 It's Luka and Kidd. Kidd needs to hold his ass accountable, but he won't.

Washington was a bright spot on defense. The Kleber minutes weren't horrible either. It's hard to look good when you have black hole THJ chucking shots and Luka not caring about anything.

The Kleber minutes weren't horrible either. ‘Keep shooting, Timmy!’ —Derrick Lively II, doubtlessly parroting what he hears from the rest of the Mavs bench, coaches and players alike, all of whom believe in 6th nan Timothy Hardaway Jr. RE: Game 54: Washington Wizards (9-43) vs. Dallas Mavericks (30-23) - rocky164 - 02-12-2024 It’s ridiculous that Hardaway is leading the team in shots taken at 11. There is no way he should ever have more shots than Luka or Kyrie. It’s one thing if he was hot and making shots but this is aweful. He shouldn’t even sniff the court in the second half. Give his minutes to Hardy. |
