3s not falling and they're already in huge trouble.

We can expect more or less the same thing this year with a hole at center. So im not expecting them to compete for real this year. They'll just probably play it out and see who they get next year and where they are at with the development of the 2 rookies.

Yep thats quite concerning to be honest. But if that's their plan, cool.

That's embarassing... at least we haven't to see Kidd on the bench too much time, 2/3 months and he will be fired.

Whoever believed that Kidd will give chance to Exum...

Yes it's only preseason ,but you could still see that the rookies are out of their depth(could be nerves),but they're gonna need time and patience... they're not ready helping the team and they were hyping them up like they'll be the difference makers...i'm up for giving them time,let them develop but let's face it, they're gonna make mistakes and I Don't think this team is good enough to let them make it and get to the playoffs...what's the difference between this years team and last years?? Rebounding ,interior D ,predictable O(ISO,3 Point shooting,no inside threat,no set plays)...Don't think Kidd is good for this kind of roster,he was suppose to be a Players coach but he didn't even talk to Timmy about 6th Man role

a.) change coach
b.) bring better players

Mavs didn't do either.

Easier said than done.

A.) What coaching candidates do you have out there?
B.) What better players can you get for THJ and a few 2nd rounders?

List them down below. Talk is cheap Bob. Let's see your list.

Ayton was available for cheap and whoever comes instead of Kidd will be a big improvement.

LOL it's the preseason. It's a glorified pick up game for these teams. Promoting NBA basketball for rich arab camel f*ckers who can pay a premium for tickets to watch an exhibition game. Kidd is just watching how these guys play together IMO. Seems like zero pressure for them to win these types of games.

Yoooo.. Powell got hit in the face. Never seen that before.

Both rookies got their welcome to the NBA blocks

Well done to throw the rookies under the bus :lol:

I'm Just bummed by the fact that it looks like Powell Will be playing heavy minutes again,when he's a 15 min a game guy...what's the deal with Holmes...are they shopping him or is he really that much worse than Powell??

Minnesots 7 assists to 5 for the Mavs ....Curry ,.Hardy and Green arent going to work as the 3rd ball handler .I thought thats why Exum was brought in for

Luka playing off ball more this game. Told you guys they're not serious in winning this one. If they were, Luka would have 15 FG attempts in the 1st quarter alone.

Thats's true but also if they aren't serious why doesn't Holmes Play instead of Powell...they know how Powell world with Luka,how about trying out Holmes

Just means Minnesota is taking their preseason alot more serious and have high expectations for their team

Yes, 25 points in the half is clearly not enough.

Lively did look a bit better there towards the end of the 2nd Q. Boxed out Gobert and had some small deflections with also good PnR game with Doncic.

Minnesota 18 assists in the 1st half ....to 6 for the Mavs /POOR sharing of the basketball

Nobody have even mentioned Holmes, they apparently don't have any plans with him. Exum looks to be last year's Dorsey.
