What's 1 change you want to see in Game 2?
I think more Josh Green minutes. He brought a lot of energy in the second half and push the pace!
No THJ, more aggressive Luka, and hitting first with Luka and Kyrie setting the table for their teammates.
I think Luka deferring early on to his teammates put too much pressure on them, especially when they were already facing a deficit.
1 change ? score more points than the clippers over the whole game
Bigs gotta play better, set good screens and contain Zubac at all cost. Luka needs to be better at both ends.
Clippers hedged and recovered a ton when Zubac was involved in PnR, or he just stayed in drop coverage making it very difficult to make a lob or a skip pass. When shots were not falling for Luka, they also took away his playmaking capabilities. and for that reason, Luka and Kai will have to make tough shots, and other role players need to step up to attack the rim more
Stop conceding switches with Luka. He played hard, but he is just not athletic enough to stay in front of guys and as soon as he gets beat the defense is screwed.
Don't take Gafford's confidence away. Start him give him a redemption opportunity.
Iv'e noticed that if Luka starts off cold the rest of the team is like Oh shit and panics.
That’s so true. No one else ever takes over except Kyrie. They always defer to Luka and Kyrie.
@@jessief2048 Yeah I should have clarified. Everyone except Kyrie panics.
Luka and Kyrie kinda operate on their own rhythm no matter what lol. Luka almost always turns it up in the first quarter and Kyrie wakes up in the second half. The problem is that if Luka doesn't get his points in the first quarter nobody scores lol @@Jorlaxe
@@BabyCalisthenicsthat’s because Luka shoots 8-10 shots in the first quarter. It’s not enough shots for anybody else to get a rhythm
@@jessief2048 Luka’s style demands that he has the ball most of the time so when he goes cold, it’s up to him to chose to stop shooting and stepping back
Play all 4 quarters aggressively.... LET'S GO MAVS
Need more Josh !
Play with force and don't take highly contested shots
and challenge when Harden flops. Put that fear in Harden knowing the refs are watching his non-contact stumbling... old man can't even stand on his own two legs 🤣
All I'll say is, get Exum and Green numbers up and remember the 2nd half.
Haha, as someone who understands Croatian, the pronounciation of Ivica Zubac from Reggie is extremely funny (C in Ivica as k and C in Zubac as ch), I have never heard someone pronounce it this way. Epic, made my evening.
I’ve been wondering how are you supposed to pronounce it
Pizza, mozzarella, paparazzi, the c in Ivica and Zubac is pronounced the same as zz in those words
Americans just can’t believe that a C might sound different in another language. They think everyone is speaking different versions of English.
@@degengam2781 me too, just shared how it's pronounced
Game 2 is a must win for our Mavs.
Give all of THJ minutes to Green and Exum. Play DJJ more.
FACTS period
Not sure in playoffs DJ gives us enough to play. Teams simply layoff him especially when game close and let him dribble attack or shoot wide open 3 which are both clearly his weaknesses. Love is D though, reason he is on low contract and never been a consistent starter. But same can be said for Exum, PJ, Gafford, Liv, Green, Maxi and Hardy. If you compare our third to ninth players to other top contenders just simply too inconsistent. Gotta hit open 3 and free throws and Gafford and Liv and Maxi and PJ have to be considerably better D in the paint. Luka simply can't be our leading rebounder night in and night out. Gafford and Liv last game 4 total rebounds and Luka gets 13 at 6'7 and not long or a great jumper how is that even possible.
I'm confused. DJJ WAS 0 OF 4 WITH ONE REBOUND on 18 minutes. Exum was 1 of 4, 2 reb, zero assist on 16 minutes. You got to play better too get more minutes. What world are you living in. O yeah the world that believes Tim Hardaway is the cause of everything bad in the world. Damn Biden and Tim.
Loved this analysis and the changes recommended, Nick! Very insightful!
Dallas needs to put THJ on the shelf for this series period.
THJ really wasn't the problem
He’s their only shooter tho
He only played 15 minutes chill out.
Why tf is Jason Kidd experimenting right now???
Because he doesn't know what he's doing
He is not a coach. The only thing they can do is waiting for Luka and Kyrie to figure it out and waiting for our centers to be more physical and important, specially Gafford.
I think they do a much better job game 2. But I think game 2 is must win. The all time record for teams who go up 2-0 is steep😂. Of course the 2021 clips was one of the teams who overcame a 2-0 deficit.
I say that but I think we go 2-2 after game 4. After that I think we end it game 7, @ clips home court.
Because he’s too analytical to be a head coach. The goal of a head coach is to win. He lost 5 games trying to figure out rotations. He can’t think on the fly like coaching requires. He intentionally lets his team loses. That’s a scary thought. He’s the team’s major weakness.
@@jessief2048 Seems like at least from my perspective that Kidd is just using trial and error of what works and what doesn't until he hits something that works. He is not theoretical like some coach are, he can't come up with some on the fly counter plan to the opposing team during the game.
We’ve seen it in the season when gaff is the smaller center( height) he struggles livley does better and can contest zu a lot better
Kidd should play both Gafford and Lively. Put Gaff out on Harden and Lively under the bucket. I mean, Kidd sat them both on the bench to play Maxi for 30 minutes and score just 3 points.... so, if they're both on the bench, there's no reason to not put them on the court together if they're not swapping out with each other! Get over your small ball BS Kidd as clearly that didn't work!
Yeah Gafford is a small center he gets dominated by big centers Nurkic, Jokic, Valencunas, Zubac
Kidd needs to make the adjustment
Better wish may have 6 or 7 players of each team on the court 😂@@republicofcasuals
@@rli1233 Are you having a stroke? Do you need me to call you ambulance? 🤣
Good stuff…more Reggie on the pod, Nick!
If the mavs want to win they need "The Landlord" needs to raise the rent in the paint on both ends
Finally!! Yes start d live
I have a feeling Gafford is going come with fire.
The lob from the corner is a very interesting take!
Lively on Zubac, DJJ on PG and PJ on Harden; no THJ and we roll
What? That's how they started last game lol. The successful adjustment was swapping DJJ-Harden and PJ-PG at half time (Mavs won second half). I do agree that Lively should start and guard Zubac though.
Gafford and to a lesser extent Lively need to stay on their feet and stop selling going for blocks. If you make Harden drive right he’s not gonna score it as well. Stop jumping at the ball trying to swat everything. This is why Zubac was dominating.
Gaff stayed grounded on a lot of zubac’s shots wym
@@NC-jc8wjHe bit a fair amount too.
Gafford just has to stand his ground and stop allowing Clippers Big back him down like he did.
Gaff shouldn't be looked at as to why we lost... he played 14 minutes and only 2 fouls. Maxi played almost 30 minutes and scored 3 points.... BOOM, right there is why we lost. Also, Lively played 19 minutes and was sitting on the bench with Gafford while YEP... Maxi is out there doing NOTHING as the whole team throws up bricks (Kyrie excluded). Why not put Gaff and Lively out there together if you're going to bench both of them together.... Kidd better get over his Maxi love and small ball BS!
You don’t watch mavericks clearly 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
In the interview before game 1 Zubac liked his Gafford matchup .... and it showed.
Luka must be aggressive, score himself, and never pass to DJJ or Maxi in the corner when he’s right under the basket. It’s a wasted possession. They always lose when Luka “tries to get his teammates involved.” Unless it’s Kyrie, Exum, or PJ, don’t pass to them.
Attack Harden! Doesn't matter who does it. And how is he getting these calls agai? I thought these times are over
Mavs went to foul line more then the clippers in game 1
I'm talking about kicking out the leg on the three, shoving djj off ect. not about the teams as a whole
They have a better coach and it showed.
why pass to Maxie he doesn't want the ball lol
Dude! That is exactly the first thing that came to my mind when Nick said throw the lob to Maxi. Maxi at this point is a zero on offense.
this is actually good for mavs. for rest of the series luka is going to on mad beast mode. he will never forget or forgive this game. :)
You noticed ot too huh? Dude was livid during half time. The fact they came close after going down 26 shows you they could have been blowing them out without that 2nd quarter. This team now will up the intensity 10fold. This emberassment will fire them all the way up. That's what this team did after that 6 game losing streak. Remember how nobody got 100 against them for a 7 game stretch? This is exactly what they needed. Reality check to lock them in.
@@de4ds1ghtcsgo94clippers didn’t particularly play well either. Powell and Pg had an off game. So don’t believe that was the best the clippers can play. They started taking bad shots with the lead they had all 4th quarter
That has been a worry for me.. that the mavs 3 important role players ( gafford, lively and PJ) has not really played in a playoff atmosphere..might get gitter which i think they did. luka and kyrie looked rusty, by the time they got going it was too late..
And i also noticed when the mavs get a long rest period they come out with no energy..( at all the time) but most of the time..
better rotation...any kind of game plan
Oh, that team is on a mission now. They got emberassed
Kidd got out coached what I was afraid of and start Lively against Zubac
They didn't notice that Gafford is not big enough to guard Zubac AND that Gafford is not a one-on-one defender, he's a help defender. Lue is being merciless. They are going to hunt Luka this series.
Until Kidd thinks that Maxi Kleber is a NBA center we have a big problem and 0 chances to win this series.
Feel out game is over. Time to get down to business. GO MAVS!
how in the world could we lose we have dpy Maxie and all world point of attack defender Tim Hardaway jr. guarding their best attack. how could they score on them because that has to be why there out there it sure isn't there offense? lol
@Reggie, I agree he needs to play Josh Green more in lieu of THJ, he brings more energy, more efficient with his shots and run fast break with Kai real good, plus he plays better defense than THJ. I’m not being hard on THJ but he is a liability on the floor not offering no offense or defense. Maxie is not good on offense and defense rebounding, but we do need his big body. I feel Maxie should always be in the game with a BIG so we don’t lose Offense on the floor when they take Kai or Luka out the game.
GETTING A WIN TONIGHT💪🏻💙
1 change = NO THJ MINUTES
Josh's energy needed 100%
Maxi should not be in the game at the end of the game. All them minutes for less then 5 points and only get 4 or 5 rebs.
Maxi kleber is basically old pj Tucker at this point.
but Kidd and the casuals would rather lose with Maxie Tim and Dwight than win without the loser's.
@@degengam2781 don't miss the Forrest for the trees lol
Thanks guys 🦝🦝
Whatever you're goin through Nick I wish you well sir 🦝🦝
Series are long. The energy and the prep that we showed in this first game was terrible but it can still change. Keep calm and do not lose the hope.
Starting Lively could go wrong though..if Gafford makes the necessary adjustments then he’ll be fine. If we throw Lively a different look in terms of starting you could find yourself with another big Zubac game. It’s why you usually don’t make big adjustments until you get back home.
Harden is just better at this point guard as the system thing. Luka needs to be a quick study.
I have a lot of confidence that we tie this 2-2 after game 4. With that said, Game 2 will show us a lot going forward. If game 2 is still the same, yeah were getting swept or go 4-1. If we have close game on game 2, win or lose then we go 2-2.
Mavs better be ready tomorrow its a must win game
In the regular szn Luka had a 37% pass rate when he drove to the basket. In game 1 that went all the way up to 56%. I’m sure this is what he was referring to when he said he needed to be more aggressive.
Great great point I thought at least 4 times in the first half he gave up fairly easy short shots to try and get teammates going. Seems if Luka gets going early teammates shoot better if he's missing other than Irving everyone is missing. Got to turn it around and make shots.
Good luck next season
I was yelling why the hell we wait so long to put Green in!?!?
Let’s go clippers! Hyped for game 2 series is simple can the role players be two way players if not cant beat this clippers team 4 out of 6 games.
;)
@@Lukamty did it 4 out of 5 to so needed one less game boy was I wrong
Not enough movement on offense, big guys got backed down to the basket, rebound better on D Clippers got too many offensive boards. And we were cold, they were hot. They had the energy and we did not
Dude, what are you talking about? Harden was cooking Luka.
Make the Dam free-throws omg that was nerve racking
Run the clippers off the line and stop letting “bad shooters” shoot
One thing I can take from this game is that both Luka and Kai will be on another level next game. This game gave me “everybody talks when they’re up”. I think the embarrassment is what they needed after coasting til the end only losing a few games. I think this is what they needed and if they’re half the leaders I and many other MFFL believe they are, then they will galvanize the troops and come out swinging Thor’s hammer from tip in game 2. If not then this team is for sure a bunch of frauds and we ain’t going no where until we get a legit 3rd scorer and experience for everyone not named Luka and Kyrie. Let’s pray that the latter is NOT the case 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Didn’t the Mavs talk before they were even up? Excuses are tools of the incompetent
I was not expecting Zubac to get 20pts and 15rbs. We can't let that happen moving forward. Gafford & Lively need to step up tonight.
They need to ramp up intensity to match experienced playoff teams. The 2nd unit needs to bring it up a notch or two
They were having a good time thrashing teams end of season. Once the shots were not falling they were embarrassed. They will come in workman like and roll.
Well as one of the people saying they should of rested against the pistons but not the thunder im going to toot my horn I knew this was going to happen
We scored 8 points in qt in the playoffs. No matter anything anyone says about coaches or players or anything, we scored 8 in a qt. If we scored 8-10 minimum more, it’s a different ball game. We played a bad first, I thought defensively we were better in the 2nd but couldn’t score and the second half was more of who we are as a team.
I believe we’ll be better this game. Pf and Gafford, I think this is their first time in the playoffs. Idk when DJJ or Exum played serious playoff minutes so hopefully it’s rust.
Luka and kyrie played passive and Luka missed a lot of open good shots in the first half, he wasn’t forcing or anything they were just missing and the role players missed layups, dunks, fts, and open threes meanwhile the clippers shot like 80%.
Just one of those games. We fought back in the second. If anything gets move really mad about this game is that whenever we got the score down to 15-16 or so, lue would call a timeout and their half out inbound was ALWAYS an open 3 or easy layup, we have to stop that asap!
Tomorrow isn’t a must win per day but we need to win that game and play like how we’ve been
That's true. Kidd still isn't really a legitimate professional coach, but the fact that the players couldn't score in double digits for a whole quarter is not on him.
Joking around about the Washington Wizards and how bad they’ve been but they gave up on a rotation player we’ve become dependent on. Maybe we just witnessed why…
Need to have an offensive set to run when Luka is missing shots. Something to generate offense instantly so the game doesn’t get lost early. Luka is a volume shooter in the 1st quarter, if he misses 3 straight early shot clock attempts, they should automatically be running a set on the next possession. Run floppy action / horns something.
Facts💯♨️.. If Luka ball control offense isn’t working then change the pace or adjust the offense .. Get Kyrie in the open court and he need to be aggressive in the 1st half .. Can’t take just 6 shots in the first half whether he was 1 for 6 or not ! He is a 50/40/90 shooter .. Luka should be posting more and get more baskets close or get other involved… Kyrie guard Harden …
EE-WEE-TSA. Not EE-WEE-KA. Nick said Zubac right. Use the same "ts" sound for Ivica as you used for Zubac and you got it.
Play the physical basketball you’ve been playing since the trade deadline. Simple
Luka needs to grow up. Stop acting like a petulant child when things don't go his way. Learn to be a leader.
Plays selfish basketball Bad shooting because of forced missed shots committing turnovers and having tantrums
Jank Maxi whenever he wimps at attempting an open 3
Fr maxi looked scared on offense
everyone expect for luka and kyrie were afraid to shoot those open 3s. they rather drive in a clogged paint and brick those floaters
Clips in Six
Right number wrong team
Mavs lost game 1 of jazz and suns series in 2022. Overreactions abounded then as well.
Jazz game 1 --- 93-99 (pretty balanced game)
Suns game 1 --- 101-109 (Mavs scored 19 in las quarter vs 35 from the suns)
I also think we're overreacting but it was so disappointing seeing them play the way they did yesterday
@hermannkaimann9525 fr. Some overreaction is warranted. But even if we go down 2-0 I still think we can win
Yeah but no one kn those series have the same talent as the clippers buddy. Also the Klaw wasnt even playing!
Mavs also lost both first rounds against the Clippers. This will probably be the same.
Luka and Kai need to come out swinging and make the passes if they are there and take their shots - I felt like Luka gave up quite a few shots at the basket making passes when he should have been shooting. I agree Kai needs to be more aggressive now in the 1st and 2nd qtr - they both will need to feed the bigs more and not force the lob if it’s not there. Swing the ball more until they can get an open shot….get those old guys tired
Wtf are you talking about? Luka was 11/26 and you want him taking MORE shots. Luka's style is the problem
@@pfunk42 WTF are you talking about??? Hell nah I don’t want Luka shooting more, there were several times he was at the basket and should have shot instead of passing because they ended up being turnovers - those would have been advised shots instead of so many 3s that were not falling.
Game 2 will be a close game but that’s about it for Clippers. Harden degrades in a series.
The only change i would ask for, is DO NOT pick up harden full court! let him bring up the ball. let him drop the tempo of the clippers. Save mavs players energy on have court defense.
Once we pick him up full court. we over stretch our defense, leaving large cutting lanes for energytic players like Westbrook and Tyrese to read early and exploit when crushing rebounds. and a lot of room for Zabuc to pick a spot for receiving the ball.
let them play slow offense and we save energy for hardcore halfcourt defence.
I rhink still start gafford this game. Dont punish gafford for an overall bad team game. Yes, Gafford played terribly. But they all did. And i think gaffords poor performance is very closely linked to luka and kais performance. So id start him again.
It isn't possible to make relatively accurate series analysis if you're only familiar with one team lol
must have better inside pressure, cannot allow 20 pts, from clips center.
Luka hedging screens and recovering on his man instead of taking the switch on defense.
That’s too much work. Luka will not move quick enough to do it
As a Mavs fan, you just have to accept the fact that Luka is a bad perimeter defender and that he will just compensate for it on offense.
I want to see guys setting the tone, Luka talking shit to whoever’s guarding him, big men bully their way over Zubac and Kidd throwing a f’n chair to the court after a BS Harden call. Just get on the court with fire and give them hell for 48 minutes.
Go inside, out with Gafford, Lively, and Powell - not small. Doncic and Irving are great at pick and roll. Finish, lob or pass. That’s the Mavs strength. Lose going to hoop and being aggressive rather than being passive. At least they’ll set the table for game 3. And can they play Hardin on his left hand? Duh!
I want Lukai to score the first points and pace!
Start Lively/Green over Gaff/Jones. Lively just hands straight up changes shots, plus the fact that he is 100% not afraid of the playoffs, means he is not lost mentally.
Jones on the bench puts him specifically on Westbrook, who is 100% for sure the point of attack for the LA second unit. For the starters, LA has three points of attack players, which makes the entire reason Jones starts over Green mute.
I think Gafford can dominate Plumlee, while Lively outruns the bigger centers by a mile.
Kidd must call out refs if Clippers are camped out in the lane over 3 seconds. He also needs to challenge any questionable early touch fouls on his Centers.
Let's start Gafford and Lively!!
All Dallas needs to do is keep the ball moving on Offense not allowing Clippers to rest on our Offense. Watch Clippers vs Kings last game wore them OUT.
Jkidd should play Josh Green more rather than TH Brickaway coz he plays defense and he hustles.. the clippers will just abuse THJ on the defensive end
Were you watching the game? How'd you like PJ getting beat back door on an ATO?
im a clippers fan how did yall feel about luka yelling at kleber
Not good. Luka should have outgrown the outbursts by now.
Not the first time. He’s had to call him to set the high pick when that his Kleber’s main job on offense and should be on his way based on eye contact. Kleber is in a fog 70% of the time.
he yells at everybody including refs and coaches on both sides. nothing new
I am a Mavs fan. How do you feel about Luka yelling at all your stadium (wich is not yours) and taking game 2? Bye.
Give the ball to Kyrie , he unlike Luka will make the ball moving and teammates involved
Series are long. Do not give up on Luka because he is going you change your mind. We Can still switch the energy
Ya make sure that the guys who couldn't collectively score in double digits, missing layups, are getting the ball more.
@@Musso88 Why cant they ? Maybe because they never see the ball , and stand in the corner for 99% of the game , while Luca plays alone. How can you expect anything from anyone when Luca plays alone ? Should they throw towels to the basket to get double digits if they never see the ball ?
@@genatch”never see the ball”😂 everyone who wasn’t kyrie or Luka shot: 0/4, 4/10, 1/4, 1/3, 1/5, 1/4, 2/5. No matter what way you want to spin it to put the blame on Luka, those shooting numbers are inexcusable
I’m still going say it Mavs in 5.
The fact that you guys you keep acting like yall figured it out in the second half after the clippers started to coast, is comical!
You guys are in trouble!
Clippers in 5!
Ooof... so close
?
Better luck next rebuild clips 🤣
I’m sad boyz do we even stand a chance vs the mighty clippers ?
It all comes down to how bad the role players want to win. They can't be scoring 6, 3 and 1 and expect to win a championship!
The team had enough time to prepare and therefore there's no excuse for how they showed up! No leadership when things aren't working!
Shame on them!
I’d like to see Clips not shooting 46% from floor and 50% from 3. That is rediculous.
Someone needs to win on the road. No need to over react to a game 1 that the Clippers supposedly had to win.
Mavs came out the game passive and Clippers ate them up.
Find a 10 day shooter contract player
play better defense
Nick, what do think about TH Sr and his comments on the Mavs? He made no mention of THJ's sour and awful play over the last few months. 😂
How about Luka move the ball early
I’d say start maxi not lively 🙄
😂PLAYOFFS DEFENSE IS REQUIRED AND OUR OFFENSE NEEDS TO BE DINAMIC NOT STAGNET. I hate to see Dallas offense like all of them behind the 3pt line without cutting trying to create for others or making plays by penetration, if the 3 is not going... go to the cup. We need smalls squeezing between players bringing the D with them. Intelligence in passing the ball will serve great dividends
Gotra have more energy and physicality. Attack harden and zubac. Box out and help Gafford on the boards . Thj isnt gonna work in this series
“Changes” ???
Yeah you should change your name to “LOCKED ON LUKA”
Luka this, Luka that, Luka, Luka, Luka LMAO
Hear me out, start Gafford and Lively, punish the paint, and more quick passes. No reason for Luka and Kai to take step back 3s right away.
Kai didn’t take step back 3’s. That was all Luka. Kai shot 3-6 from 3, while Luka shot 4-12. Luka ALWAYS takes step back 3’s. Not Kyrie
We lost 1 game..... So, we have 3 to 6 games to go to figure things out so keep your shirts on! 🤣
