How is this on coaching, though? The players only had to shoot 50% from the free throw line (which is still bad) and still get the W.
10-24. Team deserved to lose this game.

Fucked the time out timing leaving the Mavs with only 2 seconds left. Fucked the play call which led to yet another 50 foot heave from Luka. I also felt like he mismanaged a bunch of subs/time out calls throughout the game, but those last 2 mistakes were the most egregious ones.

They make their ft's, they win at least by 10.

Yes, the inbound play calling could be better, but FTs is what cost us this game.

No doubt Luka, THJ and DFS choked the game away on the line. But we just saw an actual NBA coach in an end of game situation paired against Kidd’s complete end of game failures. The whole end of game strategy is “hope Luka wins the game”

Brutal free throw shooting. It will continue to cost us games. It is a shame they fought so hard. When DFS was fouled, I had no confidence in any of the 5 players in the game. Not going to win many important games if you can’t make free throws.
Luka was pissed about something when he took that shot. Maybe Wood was suppose to pin down? He drifted out. Not sure if that was it. https://twitter.com/townbrad/status/1601...40672?s=61&t=y0V2WWY4o9mC1WEtij_oFA

The lack of plays and deffensive readiness and substitutions after time outs is why the coaching lost the game more than the bad shooting. Even if they missed all the free throws, if you played better defence and had plays to run we still would have won.

Agreed. But he won't because it makes too much sense. I'd also publicly embarrass his FT coach: https://www.mavs.com/team/coaches/peter-patton/ They got this dude from Minnesota. Real smart move from Cuban poaching talent from the *checks notes* the statistically worst franchise of the last 20 years (https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/worst-n...t-20-years)

Tough plane ride to Chicago. Hope this team sticks together and responds to this. There was a lot of good defense and tough offense tonight. Keep that up and get the rest fixed.
Don’t fall apart. Respond!

Luka is in the MVP convo no doubt. But his team's lack of success record wise places him third behind Tatum and Giannis unless this team turns it around.
