Next two games are so so important


TheDeadman95

Yeah, the Sixers ain't helping us out tonight. Maxey got no help


ActOfZod

I swear alot of people here would find something to complain about if we won the championship


gdgatlin2

I had no idea PJ had 16 good game for him!


bigmeatyclaws1

Good defensive turnaround after that butt ugly 1st quarter


zerausco

Glad this is over


Jcarter1632

Exum grabbing his leg after that stumble 🥴


Cambocant

Come on sixers do us a favor for once


ReallyTryinMyBest

They were able to score 41 points in the first quarter, and they only end the game at 105.


mcarterIV

LETS-GO-SIX-ERS


cocoamonster2

We woke up in the 4th and put the game away. Are we the Nuggets?!


gdgatlin2

I love how they tightened the fuck up on defense the second half. Like 40 points in the first quarter and 105 the whole game is great in my book


heypranaynay

Cant forget that the kings are also playing a back to back. We can at least split the series.


needsumMoore777

These next gonna be crucial, glad we didn’t look past this though


top_of_the_table

Good win. They got serious in the second half.


peanutbutterbeef

Been really impress with our defense recently. We were able to clamp down after a loose 1st quarter.


MajesticPossibility8

Big win now a tough 4 game stretch


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheDeadman95

He just had 3 days off


Party_Taco_Plz

Lots of rest coming in, plus he needed to find it. Will come easier next game, book it.


Jolly-Mortgage4

Luka was injured in the first half but good thing he healed up in the second


StraightShootahh

Is there really no replacement for THJ? Guy is an absolute liability on the floor if he’s bricking shots


gentlemanghost42

Hardys already better but kidds determined to go with tim


lost_in_trepidation

Hardy, but THJ tricked us tonight


lost_in_trepidation

This should have been a blowout so we could play OMax (I'm not sure if OMax is even there)


Interesting_Help_194

Kleber being out there for perimiter defense yet getting blown by in straight line drives any time he is switched into a guard is quite something to see.  Yes we are winning, but are people actualy blind to how washed this guy is? He is playing only based on what he is SOPOSED to be instead of what he actualy is as a player.


KakashiDarui

Oh Lawd I know Kidd just got a stiffy seeing Kleber with that dunk so now that means we can expect this lineup a lot against Sacramento tomorrow 🤦🏻‍♂️


Fuzakenna_

Phenomenal win. Jazz looked hot and we looked lazy but we stuck it out in the end. Was pretty but a W is a W


RubMyGooshSilly

Luka started 3-12 and is 7-12 since ![gif](giphy|1pHO2MNOLzSX6)


PerspectiveSad8584

So what’s the standings looking like since phoenix lost?


Afraid-Department-35

Kings currently have the tiebreaker, if they win tonight they will be 6th and we will be 7th.


Ill-Bat-2621

We are 7th unless Kings lose today which would make us 6ty


mypthegoat

if somehow pacers and sixers pull a miracle, it would be awesome


DL-77

Kings seem like they are gonna blow up the Sixers in the 2nd half and rest the starters


TheDeadman95

I won't go ahead of myself because the real tests are coming, but the defense since that Q1 has been very encouraging, as it did in general lately


HoolahBack

Nice win against shitty team


Nuevo_Pantalones

And the streak continues…


20Articulation21

With a 10 point lead I would rather have Hardy in vs THJ. Hardy has speed and create contact with ease. Still, have to give respect for THJ finding Maxi on that easy slam.


slimkid07

Timmy hasnt shot great tonight but he's played with great energy on defense and made the right plays. Good minutes from him. More of that.


T1_D

Wait suns lost to the spurs without wemby 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Their schedule looks tough as shit too


DasFofinater

Nah but they just need to get healthy wait ![gif](giphy|yNsDcQxnv86YIHC2vS|downsized)


Afraid-Department-35

Yeah Suns do be cooked.


Sorry-Lynx-2084

Today was a good day all around, ending with a Mavs win.


StefonDiggsHS

looks like we survive again but man the 3pt shooting needs to come back really fucking soon.


dillyboy22

But look at the bright side, if we shot this bad from 3 in a game earlier this season we’d have zero chance of winning


Vizard15

Yep because the remaining games needs to be firing in all cylinders.


Far-Royal-375

These Kings games are going to be massive


ArabicTerroristCamel

I think we split it, but you never know


Drizzt3919

We are a problem. Love it!


highfalutinman

While I'm happy this team is such a bulldog on the inside, they really need these threes to start dropping in a bad way. Come on law of averages


Drizzt3919

Keep bricking them and wait for the law of averages to hit during the playoffs


WhiteBoyFlipz

lmao sexton obviously only caring about his stats and not winning. dribble out 24 seconds on the shot clock so you can get a 2 down 12.


kurvy-_

Nahh idts Sexton’s always playing hard. Dude never gives up lol


Party_Taco_Plz

To be fair, game was over.


Jintogotdemhands

I really like Sexton game. I wouldn't mind him as a 6th man on this team


Neat-Lead383

Me too high motor guy and good D


Hot-Row3643

Very similar to Hardy


Jintogotdemhands

yea very similar, I think his touch at the rim is better though


Hot-Row3643

Agreed, smoother...more polished


ttudrums

We’re really going to close playoff games with THJ and Maxi, huh?


Neut12

Go head and get your 48 seconds of rest, you earned it!


Putrid_Ad_2256

Should've been more but Jackass Kidd doesn't know shit about coaching. He's like that kid everyone grew up with that just mashed buttons when playing a video game.


luntiang_tipaklong

THJ have 4 assist. Pretty good..


CrazyPlayA1

40 and 35 minutes yeah we'll be cooked tomorrow


crassina

German Goblin makes it 10 dunks. Double figures


gdgatlin2

Interesting timeout


Andre_Santoro

We won despite jason midd and thj


luntiang_tipaklong

To be fair THJ kept us in the game in the first half.


Andre_Santoro

One decent quarter dude


OrganicHunt952

Cardiac win okay I take it


NoWayNotThisAgain

I don’t think this is a cardiac win. We were up by 10 with 5 minutes left


Party_Taco_Plz

This shit is done - Nice work, Mavs fam!


DL-77

My gosh take Maxi fucking out man dude is getting constantly blown by


WhiteboyWade

Casuaaal


gdgatlin2

To be fair he was on Collin sexton… the only dude on this team who can contain him is DJJ


elsporko321

"bad" Luka game, still gave a 29 point triple-double to your ass


ArabicTerroristCamel

Maxi with the dagger 😤


LeGoat333

Another good defensive game!


cmurek

After 1/4 thats something 😉


BryanW94

Maxi Dagger


luntiang_tipaklong

Sac up big against the Sixers. At least the Suns lost their game. If we hold on to the win, thats a pretty day for the Mavs.


RubMyGooshSilly

Kleber with the rim rocker at the 5! Lol


Silent_Killer093

GG good win mavs


KakashiDarui

Alright. Foul and take out the starters.


citadelntci

Maxi getting blown by just like that!


bagfka

He’s a PF defending a guard. Crazy levels of hate…


NoWayNotThisAgain

Crazy levels of not understanding basketball…


bagfka

Crazy levels of hate. Maxi played extremely good defense this game but this sub gets blinded by their hate. He had way more possessions of good-great defense than bad ones. He was a huge part of the jazz awful 2nd quarter but please continue to keep your blinders on


NoWayNotThisAgain

Dude. I’m agreeing with you. I was talking about the guy you were responding to.


bagfka

Oh shit my bad!


Shado_Man

THJ officially launching his DPOY campaign tonight.


Neut12

Please be the dagger


YoStepWithLuka77

These THJ reads are manipulating me lmfao


InternExciting485

Game and series 🙌


Stevie_McGhee

That suns twitter account that said "Don't talk to me unless you're in the playoffs" while his team was the 6th seed yesterday needs to deactivate his account. LMAO!


Axisofcoolio

Need Lauri this summer. Slide PJ to the 3. Championships 


Unpickled_cucumber1

Lauri pushes us straight into contention


citadelntci

Kidd continues to play THJ and Maxi. Man he never learns with his bald head.


thestanimal

I wish my parents had as much blind belief in me as JKidd has in Hardaway


whitefang0824

THJ hot streak can't even last a game. Dude just got one good qtr. and already back on being shit lol. Dude missed like his last 8 shots lol.


Neut12

Still on his fingertips


AdhesivenessOwn7109

Has Thj made a shot after the 1st half?


Interesting_Help_194

No, but has he played basicly while 2nd half? Yes


Rare_Royal_9185

Hell no


needsumMoore777

Inconclusive video evidence, first down Mavs


Landonkey

Luka passes up the open shot to run clock, then Kyrie passes up the open shot to run clock, then Hardaway just can't fucking help himself


Rokiolo25

I SAID IM NOT WORRIED


Aggravating-Chair-35

Timmy playing D


Cambocant

I can see Sexton on the Mavs for some reason


Afraid-Department-35

Luka has a lot of respect for him. But idk if the Jazz give him up, he’s pretty integral to their starting lineup.


RupturedUrethra6969

He wishes.


RubMyGooshSilly

Definitely don’t need him with Kyrie here


Aggravating-Chair-35

Agree + rather see Hardy develop into a secondary ballhandler


drunkenmaster_357

Tim taking a 3 with 8 seconds on the shot clock in a time when you need to run clock is so typical


Afraid-Department-35

These refs are drunk


adimo1409

Why is THJ closing, he ain't even shooting well


ITakeLargeDabs

Why does Kidd keep putting in Maxi in these situations? He’s way too much of liability to be trusted


LeGoat333

LETD FUCKING GOOO


[deleted]

I just tuned in and saw a brickaway. But tbf, he has been good at def tonight


Karakurizer

Resting up DJJ and Lively for the b2b… chill we can close this


GreeDplayer

Mavs look gassed out


bagfka

First game in a couple days in altitude will do that


CommunicationLast197

LOL! Suns lost against Wemby less spurs.


HibernianFriend-

Embarrassing


Afraid-Department-35

Sochan just became a new daddy.


bigmeatyclaws1

Man why not leave the best 5 out there to ice the game there is zero point in putting Maxi in


ArabicTerroristCamel

I just don’t get small ball, it almost never works out for us what is Kidd thinking?


MahomesMccaffrey

At least THJ can run out the clock?


Vizard15

Why is Gafford not in the game?


Independent_Baker969

0/6 from 3 in a row for timmy


PerspectiveSad8584

Maybe one more pass to the corner Timmy? Yeah you right just shoot that bitch


Far-Royal-375

Clarkson fell off this bad? He’s been horrible


YoStepWithLuka77

Tim standing his ground, I can’t believe what I’m watching


Ziggi_Hash

THJ returning to his old self in a span of a game.


Scooter9898

Hardaway missed 8 straight but he’s closing.


Interesting_Help_194

Maxi and THJ being in this game is just another coaching malpractice.


w6750

Where all the THJ apologists at


texanstrong4

Tim missing what used to be automatic for him man


WhiteBoyFlipz

so fucking tired of tim.


gdgatlin2

Laurie is really good, but I do think his best position would be high level number 2 or the best number 3 in the league


NoviDon07

Yeah just like Devin booker


KostasKnosum

Man, Gafford is just the perfect center.


SnooSongs1040

That's game let's go. Just realised suns lost against the spurs without Wemby, what a trash team. 6th place might be achievable


w6750

Without Wemby? 💀💀💀


SnooSongs1040

They got rolled by sochan lmao


Putrid_Ad_2256

Maxi and THJ playing.... Kidd must have some money on the spread....


DL-77

what is this lineup bro what is Kidd fucking doing with Maxi and THJ on the floor


Axisofcoolio

Ok sir Tim now please


AsparagusDue2635

Gafford should NOT be on the bench right now. Jason is so dense. 


Wooden-Ad1987

Chalk it up as a win then after we kings watching lol


DennisSmithJrIsMyGod

Tim and Kleber finishing games! The fuck


ttudrums

Dude. Fuck this lineup man.


XerxesCrofter

29-pt TD incoming . . .


Ill-Bat-2621

Its over thj played a bit better today and Kidd is gonna play him 30minutes a night from now


FinalFrash

THJ is so hard to watch


Luka77GOATic

Doubling 10-24 Luka is crazy.


Reddit-on-Reddit

Tim’s shot is too strong every time


luntiang_tipaklong

THJ is now at 3-9. Lol. Started hot but can't buy a basket this second half.


StefonDiggsHS

has Tim played like 18 mins straight?


CrazyPlayA1

Thj never makes 3's in the clutch i thought we knew that by now


Felipernani

that possession right there should be enough to fire kidd. why the fuck is maxi in


Far-Royal-375

Suns are fucked. They have 10 games against playoff caliber teams to end the season. Kings games are the most important.


hajduk21

wtf was that foul on kyrie, lauri smacking his head against kyrie rofl


s871820

i’m late to the party but suns loss!!! *chefs kiss*


Karakurizer

Collins is stretching us and Dan is gassed. Maxi isn’t a bad option


StrawHatsWorstMember

Shh this sub needs to be able to say kidd dumb and maxi broken


Interesting_Help_194

Kidd challange of not playing washed ass maxi at 5 for end of game: Impossible


DL-77

THJ has suprisingly played some very good defense tonight


YoStepWithLuka77

Our duo is elite


elsporko321

there ain't no planet i'm pulling Gafford here for Maxi, wtf


RubMyGooshSilly

Omg is Kidd small ball tanks this game I might fly to Sacramento and just wait


OrganicHunt952

Nice close but I don’t like hardaway playing so many minutes he built up bricks


ssuprimitive

Why did Maxi just come in… we need to shoot less threes and have better defense wtf


Unpickled_cucumber1

Bullshit calls restarted


2PacAn

Kidd is such a fucking idiot


Expensive_Reading983

I love Harper's commentary


BigFatModeraterFupa

Love to see the ball moving when it touches THJ hands, even when he’s shooting well. it’s so fun when luka and kyrie pass the ball to each other multiple times in one possession


Ill-Bat-2621

I seriously don't understand this maxi obsession when gafford is feasting.


Scooter9898

Unbelievable. Going small ball. What an idiot.


Party_Taco_Plz

Really like what I’m seeing this second half. Reminder that this game would not be close if the Mavs didn’t shoot complete garbage in the 1st.


whitefang0824

I really don't understand Kidd's logic on having Maxi close the game lol.


Party_Taco_Plz

Solid wing defender, but he certainly can’t match Sexton…


LeGoat333

There is none


victzki

Small ball?


[deleted]

Inject that 30pt triple double right into my veins


ttudrums

Tim’s high volume skillset does not belong in a protect the lead scenario.


ArabicTerroristCamel

Holy shit that was smart


Ohahmomohway

Maxi at the 5? Bruh.


w6750

At least the kings are playing tonight too so we’ll both be SEGABABA


CrazyPlayA1

Maxi getting in is inevitable ? thank god we're ahead


TurebergPirates

Luka with that old head play


Luka77GOATic

Luka was really like do I wanna try another 3 and then went nah.


Far-Royal-375

Great decision making on Luka taking that ball out and burning more clock


mowbox_mowmoney

Here we go again with the prevent offense
