AD is the reason we lost, man had 10 points and went scoreless whole second half, Bron had 18 in the 4th quarter

[@borisgerjovic2504]

Cuban, where di you find that Kidd. The task of a team with 20 points lead is not to hold the lead but to extend the lead, otherwise your guys are not scoring anymore and we all suffer as we have suffered tonight. It' nice for MAVS to have a loyal fans but you might be covering our costs for psyho clinic sometimes.

Tf you talkin about

[@erwinsantos-cz7tu]

nice game your always KING of pressure LBJ..... Mr. No killer instinct....🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@misteryteam5970]

Lakers are similar with Manchester United. Legendary team, but often choking when against the big team.

[@cvc2907]

You can see the pressure of taking free throws with the game on the line for Lebron. The guy has the mental fortitude of a midget.

[@danieljohnston3708]

Hey, that's offensive to midgets!

[@squaresided]

AD falling down 2 seconds into the clip 💀

[@iamrjv]

That is what we are always trying to say gentleman. It's always the killer instinct to take the ball, get to your spot and get a shot to get the W. We can all say your are one of the greats but when it's time to win it how will you respond. You have Kyrie and you still chosen to pass it to AD with two man up on him 😅

LeClown had to take threes in those final three minutes - simply because he was too exhausted to drive to the basket (9:07), plus the fact that he would have missed most of his potential free throws as well due to that. However, that stunningly beautiful pass attempt to Anthony Davis (9:16) right into a double coverage - which resulted in a gorgeous turnover - is one more textbook case to underline the fact that the self-crowned king and GOAT just always makes the right play!

[@tayderenteria4560]

Lakers tried but werent good enough for the mavs true dedication from luka and his team 😂❤🎉

[@doublerr1884]

Let's go Mavs 🙌🥰🙌 I like both teams but the family is Dallas 💐🥰💐 #DoubleRR #DaAfricanPrincess #Rhanni #Lisa🎉

[@craighay9086]

Lebron missed two vital free throws, took an unecessary 3 pointer, and made two terrible passes, one to nobody, and one interception. Lakers need rid of that guy...

[@TheLifestyleCentre]

Bruh Mavs need some big body mf to play paint. Team can’t just rely on 3-point shooting and only Kyrie attacking the paint. Mavs down the stretch has been horrible.

[@averyrestless3786]

LeBron really doesn't like trying to shoot game winners unless forced, as evidenced by that weird pass to AD into double coverage. That's why he'll always play 2nd place to MJ.

[@infinitrixtv5847]

See, he is being hated for doing the right play. He saw AD close to the rim, so what will you do with that? Jordan always does that because he is a ball-hog. Failure is part of the game, but they will learn their mistakes and build their winnings from that.

[@VVVY777]

LeBron made his "right play" again by not attacking the tiny guard on him, and passing to his sugardaddy AD despite 3 defenders being right there. Of course, follows it up by trying to hit the backboard again.

[@ambientnoiserock]

Terrible pass by LeBum

Yeahh situation is always not to engage it. They are on the lead for one point. Lebron must do a toe to toe and that situation they are big.

[@bridgettegates8899]

To watch both my all time favorites LeBron n kyrie go at makes Me cry 😢

[@SDesWriter]

Dallas is for real. The defense is getting a little better and the offense is lights out. The Luka / Kyrie experiment is officially a success. They are both showing up most nights, but if one struggles or is out, the other almost always comes through to keep them in the game. They just need a couple of the younger players to mature a bit and they will be a legit top 4 team in the West. Kudos to the Lakers. They are playing well, even if it's not showing up in the win column. They also are out there having fun. It's good to see them enjoying the game and not turning on each other when it doesn't go their way. It's just about the injuries from this point on. If they stay healthy, they'll be in the playoffs and maybe fight their way to home court advantage. The Kings haven't found their footing yet and GS looks like they're going to be a bubble team at best. Denver, Phoenix, Dallas and TBD in the top four, and this year I highly doubt we'll see a play-in team making any waves. The East still looks vulnerable so a healthy winner from the West has to be the favorite.

[@edmondramos1073]

Thanks Lebron... He passed the ball in a difficult moment. It is the moment time. He wasted all their effort.

[@zachfine3949]

Lebron was awesome but made poor decsions at the worst time. And AD has become a brick machine with his jump shot...

​@@abnerallen2334lol them 18 points became meaningless after them bricks he shot and tht turnover the last 3 possessions. Lakers went from up 2 to down 3 😂

[@abnerallen2334]

@@tdup191 so you gonna hold a 39 yr old in his 21 yr who dropped double digits in the 4th to keep us in the game accountable, but not the 6'10 pf gettin paid 60 mil a yr who supposed to take over for Bron once he gone? Okay sure. AD the same reason we lost to Denver 1st game of the season

[@TheInferno0099]

​@abnerallen2334 i don't know whats hard to understand obviously AD having a bad game is a reason they lost but it's lebron's fault as well for those terrible plays down the stretch he's still playing like a top 10 player this season so he needs to be help accountable as one every other star player would blame themselves if they did what Bron I'm pretty sure he would as well but who knows

[@taintneverstopme8639]

So many times ive watched Dallas's defense absolutely collapse in the 4th along with not making anything and constantly blowing huge leads...unbelievable

[@barney5583]

taintneverstopme8639, if it wasn't for lively going out it never would have gotten that close.

[@ericgreen6466]

Way to go Mavericks

[@glennservana1640]

That was a kyrie dagger 3pt shot when he was in the cavs. 😮

Appreciate the greatness of Lebron choking in crucial games, he will surely be missed when he is gone
