. Kyrie is the only slasher that plays off of Luka well.

Not true ,Exum takes it to the basket with authority but he gets limited minutes in JKidds offense.

No idea why Exum doesn't get more game time for you guys. He looks really great when he's out there. Really confident in taking the ball and taking guys on.

Couldn't stay up and went to sleep at the half, before I went to sleep Kyrie was totally off, looks like he turned it around.
Sucks to lose, but at least they are competitive.
Officiating was really bad in the 1st Q, looks like it stayed like this, 10 FTA must be a season low, no?

we have no game plan will continue to hurt us. No matter what is the situation, our offense is only Luka or Kyrie 1 on 1, or through pick and roll.

Yes, this team is still figuring it out, and more trades will need to occur.

Losing and now having to face the Kings tonight makes things even more difficult. Hopefully we figure things out tonight.

Good games by the Mavs, unfortunately they missed a lot of 3s in the fourth quarter. Damn.

But make it closed with 24 minutes of Powell was awesome, i can only immagine how we play with another NBA player in those 24minutes. Wow.

Grant very solid but those 3s in the 4th were too much important for us.
I don't think trade away THJ is a good idea right now, he is on fire this year. OMG.
Luka & Kyrie very good.
Lively good against a very big team. Great.
Josh bad but not as bad as Powell of course.
DJJ can't make nothing tonight. Happens, he is what he is. We can't rely too much on him.
Exum solid again. He earns more minutes.

We need another big. Absolutely.

DJJ was getting killed under the rim, and no whistle, and I'm looking at twitter, looks like some D-whistle type call were going to Giannis/Lillard.
I'm not sure how it went in the 2nd half, but officiating got into Luka's head in the 1st half and he was pouting and complaining.
Hope fully they have energy left for the Kings tomorrow, I want Green and Hardy to step up, they did well against them last year.

Yea frustrating loss. Kyrie started off poorly, but came up as usual. Luka, Lively, and Grant played their parts as well as could be expected.

The big teams are a problem, and Kidd isn't savvy enough to adjust. We need another reliable big and a starting SF. DJJ has been a pleasant surprise and was due a bad game, but he was available for the min for a reason. If we target a SF with some size or rebounding prowess, that would be a huge help.

Things are not bleak, we have 4/5ths of our starting 5 in place. If THJ can stay this way, we have a darn good 6th man, and Exum, Curry, Powell have utility.

It's up to Nico to find a way to attain those 2 pieces mentioned above we're lacking. I don't think we need to invest a lot in a Capela, Lively has earned the chance to start and have growing pains. But we need a good enough backup. DJJ would be great with THJ as the wings on the bench. So if we have to give up Curry, Hardy, Green to get a decent big and starting caliber 3, do it

The team we just lost to, I think we could use both Robin Lopez and Pat Connagton

We will never know if Holmes can help because our coach prefers 24minutes of nothing from Powell then makes a try with him. 24 MINUTES. Absurd.

The S5 is good enough, we need another big and another wing who can play when Lively, Grant and DJJ have foul problems/bad night/ecc ecc

There will be a lot of good deals at the TDL but the question is, will they make a push?
They have blind faith in Powell because he is Cuban buddy

The refs sucked but we played in Milwaukee.
It's normal.

Giannis and Lillard are 2 of the most protected players in the league.

This game was an embarrassment.

I would hate to watch Giannis play basketball for 82 games a year. No matter how dominant he may be (and facilitated by the way the refs call his moves)... that is just ghastly.

The same clown refs who didn't call this.



Then call this...



Super, super late.

Brook Lopez just literally barrels into Powell and it's a foul on Powell.

This was a bad loss after holding the double point digit, but between the refs clearly favoring the Bucks and Connaughton hittings 3s lately, it was tough.

Luka missing 2 FTS. Then Giannis making 2 Fts after a cheap foul wasn't great either ha.

In the last 3 games Josh Green has scored 5 pts in 85 minutes of playing time and Dante Exum has scored 20 points in 42 minutes played. Do JKidd and his coaches see these stats and is this acceptable to them.

Yes, It's a no contest right now... But Kidd will not change rotations and Green+Powell still remain a 48minutes combo guys.

Yea Kidd and the FO can't get their egos in check. You don't need to compound on mistakes by continuing to play guys and extend them. Just cut bait
