Hopefully Luka & THJ play. Unbearable otherwise.

Kidd is so desperate, his rotations are chaotic as hell.

Some players start a game and have DNP the game after some players the opposite.
He is done, i hope the new owner group will fire him soon as possible. With Cuban and his buddies too.

Luka not on injury report.

Exum-out
Timmy-questionable
Green--questionable
Kyrie---questionable

He really always looks like he's oblivious to what is going on and as if he's mind is drifting somewhere else. Very weird contrast between how you perceived him as a player vs how you do as a coach now.

The last 5 games the Mavs have avged 102 ppg and given up 109 ppg . For the season the Mavs are outrebounded by -4 1/2 rebounds a game.
Without a trade .... I'd do a 3 guard lineup of Luka ,Kyrie & Dante Exum and move DJJ into GWms spot and have him come off the bench. Exum is a better POA defender,rebounder and can get his own shots that Green isn't getting done. If you dbl up Exums minutes he's out rebounding both DJJ and GWms.

Mavs need a 3rd ballhandler in their starting lineup as their offense is starting to stagnate and on the Mavs if they score less the chances of winning get rougher .

Dante isn’t gonna start if he’s only hitting 23% from deep.

Exum is one of those rare players where injury extended his NBA career due to people thinking he had potential and even last season with Partizan he was at best the teams like 4-5th best player and a average at best Euroleaguer and he still got back into the NBA somehow

We like him, he's obviousely not lottery talent, barely 1st round, but he's fine 3rd string PG, and wing defender.
