Thank you Kidd, Harden made 5 buckets against Maxi Kleber. Thank you **** stupid moron.

Worst coach of the world. I Hope someone beat your ass tonight. Piece of ****.

Lol this is comical. We got 2 shotblockers on the bench while Harden made like 6 buckets in the paint in crunchtime.

Exactly, when we took the lead we should have went back to our bigs!

[GermanFan120]

Fire Kidd.

[tleikheen]

Kidd LOST this game ,the Clippers destroy smallball lineups ...WE KNEW THIS GOING INTO THIS SERIES

[ChipotleWest]

I mean there's just no way if I'm playing on the Mavs I'm not sitting there thinking "why no Lively, why no Gafford, wtf is he doing"

[41Dirk41]

**** off Kidd. You and your full of **** head. Stupid moron. Ralph Winchester of my ass.

[ChipotleWest]

Oh NOW you wanna put Gafford and Lively in, F*** YOU!

[41Dirk41]

Incredible. This **** small ball.

You are Just a **** alcoholic. Not an NBA coach.

[tleikheen]

I knew that Maxi playing Center was going to cost the Mavs at least one game this is it ,Kidd just wouldnt see it and outcoached his ownself

[41Dirk41]

Can we fire Kidd after this game? Please.

Chief Winchester searching for his special son.

Breaking news: prior to G4, Kidd made a deal with Lue that if he does not play Kawhi Mavs won't play Lively and Gafford in crunch time.

[41Dirk41]

Win this series has no sense because Kidd will always play small ball and we have no chances.

[Darren]

The Mavs has to find replacements for Kidd and Maxi. The Mavs still needs a stopper. The Mavs has missed too many free throws.

[joesha1698]

if we can spot this team 30 points and still nearly beat him, we have to come out ready to play and stop coming out settling for jump shots. we also have to play better defense. The strategy of just giving Harden layups late in the game because we're worried about his 3 point shooting is stupid. I rather him take the step back.

[AJace]

Hopefully some reporter will have the balls to ask Kidd in the post-game about the decision to leave Kleber out there in the fourth quarter.

[tleikheen]

We should win or lose with DLive or Gaff at Center and never lose because Maxi is playing Center ,it makes no sense having rim protectors and play a OLD ,and constantly hurt Maxi as our rim defender.

Exactly I'd rather lose knowing we played with our full potential.

[Dirk]

Ughhhh.

All that effort to get back in the lead... and then Paul George hits crazy shot and Washington just seemed like he was defending Harden too far out... they really need to adjust that defense, because it was crazy the number of floaters given up - not sure if Maxi is to blame as well, but we know that Harden would throw a lob if Maxi comes out. I assume if you (Washington) give him more space and he takes the 3 pointer... it's still better than those wide open shots.

I am not sure if Luka is hurt or not, but it has felt like at times he has dragged the team down and unlike many times during the regular season... he hasn't been able to really make up for it. Missed two critical free throws as well. In this game, because of the fouls or whatever... he really was a statue many times. It simply feels draining when your main guy is complaining or looking frustrated with life so many times.

I'd say the Clippers look "more mature" and "stable", but then again... they gave up a huge lead and their guys also seem very on and off... so who knows. We're still yet to see a good game from the Mavs... maybe game 5?

[tleikheen]

I should be saying the Mavs lost because of their horrible 1st quarter ,but this loss is on Kidd who wasted a valiant effort by the Mavs players by playing smallball in the 4th quarter
