I don't fully get why we're picking on Luka. Everyone should know he's injured. He still got a triple double and he hit a better free throw percentage than the overall team. He wasn't the main reason for the loss. It was a team loss. Maybe Kidd, for not sealing that in the last quarter.

It is true it wasn't fully his fault and he is injured I get that, but he's still a top 3 player in ball, #1 in my opinion, maybe a little bias but still, he has played well even with the injuries in the first series he needs to not be a negative at least he has to be at least a little bit effective and like 75% of what he is.

Cause he is our Franchise Player. He can not scream at the refs the etire game. I am not lying. Go back and look at his first shot... he was already complaining. And he never stopped. Noone is expecting a 30P TD every game. But if he shoots 9/20, we win. If he turns the ball over just 3 times, we win. Its easy as that. And its not only Luka, Kyrie didnt do anything in the 4th Quater as well. Everybody knows that Kyrie takes a backseast in the 1st half. But we at least need him to be Kyrie in the 2nd Half. He wasnt...

@uberrobi Putting the clapped out THJ in with 4 minutes was a mistake you don't make and if he was wanting him to catch fire, it was the wrong part of a game to attempt to do so. If we had a chance at winning which at that time we did seeing how we were only down 2 points, coaching decisions need to be much better as that seemed to just make the strain on Luka and Kyrie that much greater.

@@Stavo1420 He played THJ, cause OKC respects his 3. They sagged of DJJ all the time in the 2nd half to either double, or clogg the paint! They didnt help off of THJ. Thats the difference. Kidd tryed something to help our abysmal offense. It didnt work. If he does nothing people complain that he isnt doing anything to help the team. If he does something, people complain that he did something they think was wrong! Perfect example of "Dammed if you do, dammend if you dont!" If you are that great of a coach and know exactly what to do all the time, go get a coaching job! Everybody can talk big AFTER the game.

I have no issue with people shitting on Luka, he deserves it. My problem is with the massive amount of clowns pretending like "its the only reason they lost" and "hes dragging them down he should not play" He was a PART of the problem not the WHOLE problem: 1. The team shot TERRIBLY from FT and the game would have been won if they just shot at league average rates. 2. Kyrie didn't show up on the offense YET AGAIN. 3. Kidd is refusing to do any on the fly adjustments and is refusing to run plays for Kyrie. 4. Luka needs to take better shots and stop wasting time complaining to the refs. If any one of those doesn't happen they win. As for "hes dragging him down let him rest" so you wanna throw the series and the playoffs entirely? Wtf do you think the Mavs are? They're not a particularly deep team and they're playing in the loaded western conference, It's not like Boston who are hilariously stacked and playing in a weak conference... The thing that could have helped the Mavs A LOT would have been if Exum was playing well and picking up the slack for Luka but sadly he's been mediocre AT BEST in the playoffs.

Another thing that’s annoying is when they go small he puts PJ at the 5 and goes small. You literally have a height advantage with your 2 bigs. Gafford & livley need to learn to post up better and attack the paint not just easy lobs. If it wasn’t for PJ it might be a sweep by now.

Even with poor reffing yet again there was really no excuse to blow this one with the defensive performance we gave, this one was lost on the offensive end

Nobody is perfect man, we make mistakes now we move on to next game and win the series. However, this whole kyrie 4th quater misconception was never okay. Never in the nba do you have two stars and one of them only scores in the 4th and i know he usually comes through but its still weird, and i know he is getting doubled but its like everytime kyrie gets the ball he is looking at luka for a permision slip to score the ball and its honestly just annoying. You have two stars to dominate the whole game and kyrie said in the conference that he didnt want to take lukas shine like wtf, so to not take lukas shine you are in prison until the 4th? Like wtf.

Marcel, I am very pissed about the game 4 loss. It was a very winnable game and we had a chance to possibly finish it tomorrow and get some rest for Luka. But instead, we forgot how to play and gave OKC the momentum. I'm expecting a good bounce back game. Need this victory so badly.

The bigger problem is Luka has no off ball game and is too injured to create space as primary ball handler. Kyrie should be brining the ball up court every time until Luka recovers.

How Kyrie finished with 5 fouls is beyond me

What going on with Kyrie he passing instead of scoring

When you have a quarter billion contract, big things are expected from you and criticism will come your way and rightfully so.

The same praise you would give the mavs for advancing with a healthy team is the same amount of praise they would receive if they win now.. stop acting like you would give some sort of "extra" credit if they win while luka is hurt. Because no one is discrediting the thunder for not beating the mavs 4 straight with an injured superstar and subpar play from the second star

Last night was uninspired. Do better, guys.

the way they threw the game 4 i am just not watching game 5 if they won i will watch game 6 after clippers series i was expecting mavs and kidd to change the offense and they are never changing it all 4 games went same way kyrie is being wasted in the corner for 70% of the time if i was kidd i would give him the ball same amount as luka even if he is not shooting lights out he is not gonna do worse because he is not injured he can get to his spots and if he is not shooting then he will make better decisions than luka, if luka is hurt than okay take a backseat and kidd should knock some sense to his head that he has to forget about the referee just forget the referee exist and go back to possession every single defensive possession luka is not bigger than jkidd he should be told that he needs to take responsibility, and lastly luka needs to help the offense when he doesn't have the ball he just doesn't care at all when he doesn't have the ball i have never once see luka take a corner shot playing off ball never, and no this is not me hating anyone this is what most of mavs fanbase is saying for a month now
