CryptoCuban's becoming like Jerry Jones! Terrible team and yet value goes up typical 😮😢
The NBA is so bad. College Basketball just had 15 million people watch the national championship. Their lowest rating ever. Guess what? The NBA hasn’t gotten 10 million viewers, playoffs or regular season, since 2019.
Between Load management, pompous political commentary from Kerr and Popovich, Outspoken on everything LeBron, China and Covid, they have successfully destroyed the NBA.
Now they can’t get 5 million people to watch a game. 😂
HAHAHA … GREAT JOB MAVERICKS FRONT OFFICE ….
So it's Brunsons dad fault? Isn't it his and the staff's fault for not identifying what it would take to keep a star player? If the Dad WAS the key to everything, well, they should have done their due diligence.
Brunson or no Brunson … don’t really matter. Stop talking nonsense lol
Mack DESERVES everthing he gets and soo much more. He's not just a freestyle rapper. He's a movement, the positive raps and NOT full of vulgarity and drugs, guns and money refrence etc. So refreshing
perk gives hope to all the retards out there that want to be a sportcaster
The only way Luka can win, Mavs to play Euro style. A big 7 footer who can pass, rebound, shoot, block. Wait there is one available: Victor Wembayana!
Stephen A: I'm disappointed with Luka because he looks depressed. Is this the level of analysis. 🤦
Did Brunson's dad pull a Shark Tank on Cuban?
The fact that Mark Cuban is talking about the Brunson deal isn't a great sign for how the front office feels about Kyrie.
Luka doesn’t know how to play off the ball. His and Kyrie’s defense are horrible.
They're in Dallas 😂
100m in New York in like 250m in Dallas
Why can't Cuban just live up to his mistakes? He's never going to be able to come back from this.. The writing is on the wall now that Luka is probably going to be asking out sooner than later. Now Luka is making sure the Knicks get this pick so they have even more ammo to go get him and pair back up with his hommie Brunson. 😂
They should tank for a draft pick! Jarace Walker would help this team so much! The FO destroyed this roster with mistake after mistake and no way to fix it. Next season could even be worse!
Mark Cuban I blame Santa Claus 🎅
Jason kidd is not a good coach. He's known for causing petty issues between teammates. He's not the guy. All bucks fans knew this
😂 Dallas gave up their entire team cmon man.
second half has been a catastrophe first half they was doing well
“Give me a team of orphans and Ill give you a championship” – Coach adage
Brunson best free agent trade in years for anyone
I used to like Mark Cuban. After all this he lost a lot of respect.
They fell in the Ky trap😢
Kyrie drama always messing up teams
I’ll be mad too if my mom was controlling my trade marketing names
yeahhhh… they're idiots for not keeping Brunson
Oof… Mark blaming it on Dads now… .
Losing Brunson was fine, you can develop Hardy to take his place.
Mavs never should let Dinwiddie and DFS go. What they needed was to add interior size. Like Miles Turner or Sabonis.
CWood can block a shot here and there, but he doesn’t present fear when guys drive like a Rick Mahon or Rodman. You know you’re gonna punished going into the paint. Mavs give up too many paint pts and too many rebounds.
If I went from the WCF to fighting for a play in, I'd probably be upset like Luka too.
I think besides missing Brunson obviously the Mavs really also miss DFS alot he was basically the best defender on this team that showed he can make the best players on the opposing team work for there points now we stick with Orange cone’s letting everyone torched them out there🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Mark Cuban 💀 failure to see Jalen Brunson great talent over four years with the Mavericks without any care.
Jalen Brunson has gone to the Knicks and taken the Knicks to the playoffs.
While the Mavericks season is suffering, it is Mark Cuban's fault.
Conviction need Trae young… plot twist o.0
omg 5W more and they would be 5th, that mean Lakers, PHX, Minisiota all have Catastrophe season ?
Here’s the answer – everyone on the roster outside of Luca and Kyrie is really an NBA backup
the best season of KP 78 78 27.6 7.6 reb 1.0 ast 10.1 ppg so shut the fu up man
Are they saying brunson better that Irving
Mark Cuban is to blame instead of letting Kyrie go to the laker he traded all the youth away for a rental SMH and may even loose luka for doing that stupid trade
Luka mavs with Brunson were surprising but never considered title favorites. Losing Brunson, all they traded for Kyrie, and Kyrie? Luka is going to be miserable for a while, and misery loves company, Mark Cuban.
Kyrie is delusional to say he was the reason for the NETS to be in the six seed.
Bruh, Brunsons really took over the Knicks😳
Luka mood cant be stopping Woods Powells and Klebers to rebound and defend the rim…
And since when are DFS & Dinwiddie stars? they be more like comets, off and on. Dumb Cuban has to finally BUY two willing bigs or clutch defenders and finish the job.
Who else is here after Mark's interview?? 🤣
The line up was trash at the start of the season. THEY WERE NEVER GOOD. No amount of GM magic tricks could save them over the short term. Also…Kidd's coaching is subpar.
The conference finals appearance was a fluke lol. Let's stop acting like the Sun's didn't have a melt down.
Dallas could’ve signed Brunson before playing on his last year of the contract.
