    I love it. Wish we gave AR and DA a rest, make the ratings fall even lower. Bunch of idiots...

    Poor scheduling puts undue strain on the players and can cause players to sit out

    Which result in poor ratings

    NBA needs to do a better job

    Bezos should've had Silver at least flip the two games and had Boston on night 1 of the back to back.

    That drone camera in the arena was stupid and annoying. Looked like a big spider crawling across my screen at times, super distracting. Technology can be taken a step too far, I sure wouldn’t want that thing flying over me if I had paid big bucks for floor seats.

    When it aired a lot of people were up in arms because "nothing happened."

    If you ever feel down or stressed out about our ball club. Just go to the Mavs forum just to remind yourself how good we have it.

    If only we had a young, rangy, athletic wing with a high motor to give an opportunity. :speechless:

    Preemptive WMC:
    - stop chucking dumb 3's
    - play some f***ing D
    - stop turning the ball over
    - LeBron is old
    - DA and Rui suck
    - bench is beyond USELESS
    - JJ is lost...

    We have terrible transition defense even after made baskets. Fortunately Sacramento sucks so they didn't make us pay but good teams will and have. And our leaders are the worst culprits. They'd rather sit, sulk, or argue instead of getting back on defense.

    100%. lebron's been this way the whole time he's been here, and luka's had a tendency to prioritize lobbying officials over getting back on defense, too.

    to me, this is a thing the coaches should be able to solve. it's simple. and it's infuriating watching jokic's chubby a** hustling back on defense all the time while our guys act like it's not a priority.

    The team has come back down to earth, the roster was never good and it’s caught up to us. It’s almost remarkable how have managed to develop no youth or athleticism through the draft, like we have next to nothing to show for the last however many years. And I’m not counting on a 2nd rounder rookie to save us, but come on, we’re being blown out regularly, we have one athletic wing, play the kid, develop the kid, we have zero to lose. We don’t need to be playing 6 guys almost entirely all the minutes.

    i agree we should be playing him, but the elephant continues to be that lebron and luka play the same position/role defensively, and you can only have one of those.
