Kyrie is great in interviews!

[@reggstar123]

Fr my boy intelligence is top tier

[@natashakuzmanoska9656]

and in basketball :)

[@FlexBeanbag]

He really is. He's become one of my favorite players

[@derrickrush6550]

I don't agree with stretching the floor with Maxi {{{PLAY LIVELY}}} And Gafford man

[@higherway1036]

J Kidd over playing his hand expecting Kyrie or Luka to bail them out. Instead of coaching he's hoping

[@danielhernandez7922]

Lively anchored the D in that comeback but bro puts Maxi back in when we come back.

[@DunningKrugerJnr]

Everyone has 20-20 vision in hindsight…Maxi lineups have been great at times, yeah tonight we didn’t win but that doesn’t mean we should dump on players or the coach

[@DunningKrugerJnr]

@@higherway1036 you really don’t know enough to comment on the chess match…have a look at my username and think about your comment

[@mayowa11]

nah play maxi. but next game we know to have lively in for harden weak ass floaters 🤣🤝🏿

[@themostrandom8424]

Imo Kidd should try PJ, Maxi, and Lively/Gafford with Lukai to end games. Those free shots from Harden is frustrating no contests at all.

[@djcontagious2929]

I wanted to know y he didn't bring back them 2 bigs in the last 6 minutes

[@dk7836]

It’s alright 1 game at a time . Don’t panic ! Go Mavs

[@jessief2048]

Kidd lost 6 games in March with the exact lineup that he played to end the game today. Either he’s really slow or he’s intentionally shaving games.

[@putman815]

Why Lively was on the bench while harden dropped a few floaters on Maxi was crazy....

[@tfd1646]

@@putman815bro seriously, I was thinking & yelling the exact same thing towards the end of the game where the fuck was lively, harden had multiple easy floaters

[@jessief2048]

@@tfd1646 I’m really thinking Kidd losses intentionally.

@jessief2048 I’m not even a mavs fan man but you guys played a great 2nd half great coaching from kidd and great comeback and the fans were just phenomenal man but we just out played yall bro it’s that simple sometimes like game 2 we played our ass off but yall just played better don’t be a sore loser

[@jessief2048]

@@valdemarperez6062 True. I’m OK. I could be a Sun’s fan.

[@ethantran599]

#firekidd. Stupid watcher playing small ball so Harden can have layup after layup after layup, all 6 of them.

[@DunningKrugerJnr]

Tony Brothers played a hell of a game for the Clips

[@morishogo144]

Doncic is choked. Old Harden is giving him lectures.

[@cognitivedisability9864]

[@sgtthomas4528]

Luka also had 5 fouls

[@Levski011]

Kai played great though...Luka needs to provide more help to Kai and they will be fine...get well Luka love you guys.... love the whole team lets goooo Maaaasvs!!!!!!!

[@user-io6qc9cm2w]

Jason Kidd must be fired because he put Maxi in the floor instead of lively or Gafford so that Dallas is lost

[@cognitivedisability9864]

For real man, when he put lively and gafford both in at 24 sec left I almost screamed at the screen.

[@Tariq-uj4wr]

The elephant 🐘 in the room : Why is Derek Lively not in the game late when Harden casually walks around LuKa over and over and hits floater after floater over Maxi ? That looked like a steady to me. The same “steady diet” Kidd said “we can’t give them”. 😂

[@THEJONATHANONEILL]

Faith in motion🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️

[@diablothegreat5932]

Kidd must be in love with Maxi. Why else play a washed undrafted player that nobody wants.

[@jcsantos8431]

Funny thing is those floaters from Harden are not tough. Tough is when someone contest it. Just acknowledge that you made a coaching mistake! This is why fans are fed up with you. No accountability from coaching! Kyrie you're great! No one is blaming you. The whole team sucks from the get-go. Just go get it if Luka is not starting well. Also, what is point of you guys allowing Lively practice those 3 pointers during shoot around when you are not going to allow it in game? His defense and 3-point shooting would be lethal like Myle Turner's. If only Maxi's height is 6'11 or 7ft. Damn! From the beginning the players failed to their part. But for the last 5 minutes, it's on the coaching and yet, no accountability!

[@user-ev6pe8ib7e]

Maxi was great

[@Tariq-uj4wr]

The Mavs need @ least 2more players than are certified, who can easily get their own bucket & also play defense. As Great as they are, Luka & Kyrie are human. They look exhausted @ times.

[@Cxrtified_Dark]

Hear me out starting lineup pg:Luka sg:kyrie sf:pj washington pf maxi kleber C: Derrick lively I think maxi and lively quickness and paint defense can help clamp James harden in the paint and pj can lock up paul George it also gives in advantage in transition

[@samancegroupfinancials363]

HE IS SO SELFISH THAT DO NOT EVEN WNAT TO GIVE KYRIE HIS FLOWERS!!

[@DunningKrugerJnr]

lol wut? 😂

[@keatonhayes1900]

I need some financials done and your blatant hatred has me wanting to employ you.

[@tornadoesbigo]

Luka is NOT THE BEST PLAYER ON THIS TEAM, and it’s not even close

[@dk7836]

KYRIEE!!!!!

[@ekimsnevets]

There’s a lot of stupid comments in this thread

[@Lena-ks5ni]

Kidd's rotation became really wierd, doesn't he learn from his mistakes??? Always repeates the same ,can't believe!

[@Dzad00]

If baffles me how many comments their are about Kidd playing Maxi in the 4th. 1) Maxi has done the best job at C in the series so far. 2) Maxi played the 4th bc of Luka. Luka was on a bad knee and in foul trouble so the Clippers were forcing him to guard Harden. Harden was obviously getting around him fairly easily which immediately put the Mavs defense in rotation. Maxi is just simply better than Lively and Gafford and rotating and recovering. Harden was killing them with 10 foot floaters (nothing at the rim). Lively and Gafford aren’t blocking that.. it’s called a giant killer for a reason.

[@DunningKrugerJnr]

Yeah the low-IQ anti-Kidd takes are tedious

[@god2246]

Kyrie did good tn well bounce back

[@jamesluka-rr1mu]

Kidd is so dumb that he uses again maxi at C ..remember they lost 6 games using the lineup..this coach never learned..No defense in the inside when you use Maxi as stretch 5 ..instead of Gafford or Lively..Jkidd no plan at all to play defense on Harden..

[@user-ev6pe8ib7e]

To bi s Trebnjem zgubil😂

[@Jo3Black78]

They need to start shooting 3's ... or the Clipss will win the next 2 games ....

[@db2921]

Not shooting but making 3’s They are a below avg team making but highest attempting

[@thomashicks2147]

Luka is trash on the defensive side of the ball and the brothers from the Clippers know it, the refs kept Luka in this game, when Kawhi gets going it's a wrap, Dallas will not win another game!4-2 Clippers

[@truthbrotha1244]

A few things... 1) Doncic is hobbled. He will most likely find a way to be much better, nonetheless. 2) Doncic did not get the benefit of the whistle... he should have had an Embiid-type FT game with 20 the way the Clippers were fouling him. I have a feeling the whistle will be different in game 5. #NBA 3) You're kind of a racist, huh? LMFAO

[@sharp4ce378]

he wasn’t the previous games.

[@dk6173]

If anything the Clippers look more fluid without Kawhi. So I hope Kawhi does play and the Mavs take advantage of that.

[@DunningKrugerJnr]

That comment is trash…Tony Brothers played a heck of a game for the Clips…you’re either a troll or a Clippers fan

[@chefFamos]

@@truthbrotha1244 stop making excuses luka has been garbage entires series long he needs to learn first he suck he is one of the worst 3p shooter he cant shoot and maybe just maybe he could be an avarage fat nba player if he stops with those bricks and goes for easy layups
