Jason Kidd needs to take his 2011 championship ring with him to Boston and tell the guys:
“In a week from now, I want you guys to have this. But yours will be better, because it’ll say “Greatest Comeback of All Time” across it.”
If that doesn’t motivate you idk what will.
The Southwest Division might be the hardest division in basketball next year to win.
- Mavs who just made the finals
- Healthy Grizzlies
- Pelicans with a Big 3 of Zion, BI, and Dejounte
- A building Rockets team
- Wemby in SA
Yeesh.
Jason Kidd as Bucks HC:
2014-15 - 41-41
2015-16 - 33-49
2016-17 - 42-40
2017-18 - 44-38
Coach Bud’s FIRST YEAR?
60-22.
In 2017-18, Kidd’s bucks had a defensive rating over 110.
In Coach Bud’s 1st year, it was down to 105.3 and they were the BEST defensive team in the NBA.
’s updated MVP Ladder:
1. Nikola Jokic
2. Luka Doncic
3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
4. Giannis Antetokounmpo
5. Jayson Tatum
6. Domantas Sabonis
7. Kevin Durant
8. Devin Booker
9. Anthony Davis
10. Kawhi Leonard
I see the path now
THJ and 2nds for Grimes - clearing 11-12 mill in cap space
Re-sign DJJ to that amount of space
And then find a way to bring Jerami Grant to Dallas using Maxi, Josh, trade exceptions and picks
Mavs fans, just letting you know now, you should expect a loss on Wednesday.
Mavs have lost every Game 1 in this year’s postseason and every Game 1 in 2022.
Kidd usually takes Game 1 to observe the opponent and then make adjustments
So don’t get discouraged
DIRK’S FEVER GAME ⬇️
In the 2011 Finals, Dirk came down with a 102 degree fever before Game 4. LeBron and D-Wade mocked him.
While not as dominant as MJ’s flu game, Dirk dropped 21-11-1, leading the Mavs in scoring and tied the series at 2-2.
Mavs would win the Finals in 6.
To celebrate the 3 point contest tonight, let’s rewind back to 2006.
Dirk competed in the 3-Point Contest many times early in his career, but came up short frequently.
However, that changed in 2006, when he put up 18 points to beat Ray Allen.
He is the only Mav to win the 3PC.
Proud to say I’m officially rebranding to DirkMuse! I know I said I didn’t want to be another muse, but after realizing that there somehow weren’t any DirkMuse accounts, I pounced.
First it was the stats, so Luka averaged Damn near a 34 point TD
Then it was the wins, so he lead his team to a 16-2 stretch over their last 18 to take the 5 seed, their division, and a 50 win season.
What has the goalposts moved to this time?
DJJ really chose a team with:
- an injured superstar every year
- just lost their 2nd best player
- one of the oldest teams in the league
- no picks until 2030
Over a team that:
- just made the finals
- almost everyone besides Kyrie is 27 or younger
- has no income tax
#ok
Just had a dream about tonight’s game
It was me checking real app and seeing the score and stats
I don’t remember everything but here’s what I saw.
Luka drops 33-8-7.
Kyrie drops 31-4-4.
PJ drops 14-7-2.
Someone drops 11-8-0, I’m going to guess that’s DLive.
106-101 Win
@nbainsidergoat
As a mavs fan, it’s kind of insane how great Nico has been. In 2022, we made the WCF with pre all star Brunson, Dinwiddie, DFS, Reggie Bullock, and Dwight Powell as our starting center. No disrespect to any of those guys, but the roster now is completely night and day
Superb job
First take has talked about
- Celtics Game
- Vogel Firing
- And they are not gonna talk about Caitlin Clark and Jamal Murray MORE
No mention of Mavs-Thunder because their golden boy OKC didn’t win.
Not surprising.
Mavs fans y’all need to pull yourself together.
- Luka and Kai both shot tour dates
- No Lively
- PJ went 2/9 from 3
- Dwight Powell minutes
- Wolves shot 52% from the floor and 46% from deep compared to our 42% from the floor and 35% from 3.
And they won by 5.
We’ll be fine.
Mavs next 10 games:
Feb 12, Home vs WSH
Feb 14, Home vs SA
(All-Star Break)
Feb 22, Home vs PHX
Feb 25, Away vs IND
Feb 27, Away vs CLE
Feb 28, Away vs TOR
Mar 1, Away vs BOS
Mar 3, Home vs PHI
Mar 5, Home vs IND
Mar 7, Home vs MIA
Record Predictions?
Mavs can offer way more money than the lakers can (4 mill to 1.5 mill I believe)
We can offer a similar amount of playing time (I’m assuming he will be in a 6th man role for either team)
And we can offer him Luka who he’s had his best stats of his career with
No-Brainer IMO
I didn’t expect this post to bang 😭
Here’s some guys I missed
- Luka is 25 (obv the big one)
- Hardy is 21
- OMax is 21
- Lawson is 23
I think Josh and/or Hardy get traded this off-season, but I feel like we are set up for success now and for years to come.
If the first take schedule is correct, Mavs-Thunder will be talked about after
- Celtics Game
- Vogel Firing
- Caitlin Clark
- Pat Bev Suspension
- Nuggets game tonight
If the thunder won, I guarantee you it would be one of the first 2 topics discussed
Mavs vs Timberwolves in the WCF is literally a dream come true
Moms family is from Minnesota
I love Ant and his game
Timberwolves fans deserve a deep run like this
I have literally ZERO problem rooting for the Timberwolves if they beat us
That said I’m still mavs all the way
Game 6 cycle
- Mavs go down double digits
- Mavs make a run to cut it to 5 points or less
- Mavs then turn the ball over 3 straight possessions
- Refs start giving OKC free throws
- Repeat
@xpjhx1
It’s fine this is the first time since the bubble that they’re relevant so they’re making sure we all know that they’re a playoff basketball team again
@YungLaker24
@spacegang30
He just cooked them. That statement with “28 other coaches seasons would have ended with the Draymond punch” is GENERATIONAL cooking.
Sickening how much hate I’m seeing Luka get from Mavs fans on the timeline.
Yes, he deserves blame, but the dude is playing through an injury on both legs against a really good defender and a physical team and everyone is just destroying him.
Enjoy a generational talent, damn.
Dort just fouled on 3 straight possessions.
Luka drive.
Kyrie drive.
Luka pass to PJ.
0 called.
Thunder fans should be lucky Dort doesn’t have 4 or even 5 fouls
ALL THOSE CLIPPERS FANS TALKING SHIT
DALLAS TO CANCUN??
“FAKE INJURIES AND ILLNESS MAN”??
HOWS IT FEEL TO GET BITCHED BY 30 BY “FAKE INJURIES AND ILLNESS MAN” AT HOME???
35/10/7 ON YOUR HEAD
@Bravo_0ne
Yeah but if you put him in maxi’s spot, like at the backup 4, I don’t think it’ll matter. He’ll always be next to someone like Gafford or Lively, and he can block shots on his own.
And he can get you 20 a game off the bench at any night
Now. TBF, KAT still has his career to be played. Do I think he could surpass Dirk when it comes to 3 point shooting? For sure. But he won’t surpass him in mid range. Also, take into account that for Dirk’s era, mid range was the emphasis of scoring, not 3’s. Dirk was lethal.
Mavs open up with the 4th shortest odds to win the 2024-25 NBA Finals with +900 odds.
Super exciting to see respect given to this team.
Thoughts on the top 5?
