They didn't look sluggish, to me at least and i actually thought they played with good energy. I think Ham simply outcoached Kidd, which is a tragedy on it's own lol and they missed way too much. Lebron plowing into Kyrie at the start also wasn't ideal.
Also worth noting. They had 2 bench points at the half if i remember correctly (Grant 2ft's). THJ absolutely needs to go back to bench because they lack firepower. But Kidd apparently gave him a choice to start or be the 6th guy, obviously he wanted to start. Kyrie, Luka and THJ vs Lakers big size and athleticism? Yeah, what could possibly go wrong.

I have a feeling that Kyrie is tired, he didn't only miss shots but he couldn't get any kind of separation either, so majority of his shots were very difficult.

Easy to blame the coach. 1st quarter was going good with Lively playing. As soon as he was out and rotation players get into the game, Mavs defense fell down. Defects were shown.
4/80 for Wood still gets me every timeozwizard8 wrote:Archx wrote:Dirk wrote:Would be cool if they approached games in LA as not exhibition games.

- Mavs won 3 games against Lakers and if you ask Laker fans they're saying Kidd outcoached Ham.
- Lakers won 1 game against Mavs and Mavs fans saying Ham outcoached Kidd.

Kleber-Powell looks bad. Not playing Holmes makes me think Holmes is not doing good at practice. There is a reason Holmes could not find playing time last year as well.
Btw, C.Wood still sucks. Some people here was cursing Kidd for Wood

Well, tbh if you judge by their last game, both can't co-exist with any player that is not Lively. Mavs were shooting 27% from 3 on a high volume. They shoot in their averages and the outcome could have been completely different.
I'm actually ok if Mavs just get healthy and not make a trade but instead fire Kidd. That's the best thing Mavs could do at the moment. Get a proper offensive coordinator in and actually run plays for days like these when Timmy randomly decides to go from looking like Ray Allen to Smush Parker.

You cannot say fire Kidd without mentioning who is the successor. Doc? Hell no.

Doc? Where did you find him?
My pick would be Pablo Laso.
