Why didn't he cahllenge it? I don't get it. He's waiting for something more important than your best player going on the bench?

The refs would have probably some small contact.

He’s just in all Mavs threads whining about Luka whining.

I can never tell when Luka is fouled because he cries on literally every single possession

The Mavs and Luka are doing the right thing by hunting CP3. If you force him to work and play defense, his offense suffers.

JKidd not challenging that weak foul on Luka really hurt the Mavs. Luka is +19 right now, they need him badly.

I absolutely hate the “rip through” if you aren’t a 90% FT through shooter you shouldn’t even bother, waste of a possession. I understand why CP3, Durant, and Harden do it. Those guys are basically guaranteed to make both freethrows.

Luka…I beg of you remove it from your game.

Kidd not challenging that call could cost Mavs season a bit earlier than expected.

That refereing on luka is just so bad. I understand he makes the "bribed" sign for the refs

Why is everyone so concerned about Luka sitting? He sat most of the third and the Mavs didn’t lose any ground

Like you are whining every time Luka does anything? Maybe you dislike him because you see yourself in him?

Dallas wasn't in the bonus, he wasn't going to get FT's anyways

This would've been a blowout if only Mavs didn't miss a lot of open shots

Facts. This season in general honestly.


Incredible tough job but there is zero consistency. Some quarters they’re calling touch fouls, some quarters they’re letting them play.
