Extend Christian Wood. Good night


Cambocant

Nico should be waiting in the locker room contract in hand


bgilbert09

He wouldn't accept the max we can offer him. He'll get more in free agency, maybe even from the Mavs. That's why we haven't already. Why can't anyone get this and they think the Mavs are just NOT offering more?


Tootsiez

The mavs fans in this subreddit believe any bit of information from any source regarding his extension. He’s playing himself into 22-25mil a year type money with Luka and he’s going to hit free agency in a year with cap raises. Nico has to make the decision to try and trade him at high value if he doesn’t take an extension or ride it out and potentially have another Brunson situation. The right move on paper is to trade him long term. But short term he helps win basketball games. Tough decision.


AdVisual3406

Yes and tell the media to go fuck themselves whilst extending him. The crap they spew about Luka and his treatment on the court is disgusting. The FO should extend Wood hes earned it.


GOtexas1

YES


reddit_reader_25

I think these last few games has shown he is worth more than the mavs can give them. Sigh which means he probably going to free agency.


PM_ME_UR_RESPECT

Dude got 24 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks. He was alllllll over that game.


Powpowpowowowow

If the FO can't see what is CLEARLY working right now we are going to lose Luka later on.


desirox

I’ve been critical of the guy but him coming back in with a sprained ankle and having some big stops was baller AF. Earned my respect


JLaird23

We don't win this game without C. Woods defense


loppol37

That block on lebron on the end? Chefs kiss


iam_watchingyou

The one on Russ (?) after that where he was barely able to stand anymore was amazing too


Taylosaurus

His timing is phenomenal on so many blocks!


SongYoungbae

But we do win this game without shitty ass Lakers bias officiating


ObligationDubai

Thankful for LeBrons 3 point shooting. CHRISTIAN WOOD, DEFENSIVE SAVANT Dinwiddie aggressive mode in overtime Luka being luka THJ vs Brown, the 3 point block which was probably a foul and then the offensive foul called against Brown on THJ in the screen That this fucking game is over


Touchling

Hand on hand isn’t a foul by the book


noyesoohindi

Yeah we literally won a game with that rule. With Luka high fiving Smart.


bob3908

Brown for the game was a huge call


_qazokm123098_

Well that certainly was a professional basketball game I guess. Anyways I would die for Luka and Wood


Epicmitch197

if you are dying for those too maybe lose a limb for Spence or something?


_qazokm123098_

I would die for OT Spence tonight. I would kill regulation Spence


EndotheGreat

That dunk 🥹


idkimhereforthememes

He looked really bad until OT


Cambocant

How we survived Reggie Bullock this game is beyond me


kkmaverick

Heroic efforts from Luka Wood and Dinwiddie 😭


Accomplished-Pear988

Russ rocking the baby🤣


DCJustSomeone

8 rebounds!


EndotheGreat

"Guess I can't grab this rebound, might as well violently land on whichever Laker got it!" -RB's Body Language


aronnov

Luka with two 3 pointers to force overtimes


MordredKLB

Bullock gave it his all, but we still eeked out a win.


Powpowpowowowow

This is why DFS is so fucking important to us lol.


noyesoohindi

And Green. If we have just one of them we can just let Bullock ride the bench.


Pkch42

Get Reggie off the fucking team and extend Wood for whatever he wants


SterlingMallory

It's January and Bullock still sucks. It's not just the time of year anymore.


Pkch42

Let somebody else fix him I’ll take a janitor from HEB over Reggie at this point


Greeneyes_65

There’s an HEB 2 min from my house. Lemme go ask someone


Pkch42

Pick up an application for Reggie while you’re there, he’s gonna need it


Complexity777

All the people on here were telling me just wait for Bullbrick to get good. Its not coming, hes washed.


lackaboughs

I got downvoted on here for saying Josh Green needs to start over Bullock, when I said it around November/December. People were SO SURE he'd get better. Come out and downvote me now lmao, sad Bullock is barely an NBA player at this point. Don't @me


lit282

Reggie bullock makes it a 4v6


Pkch42

4v9 don’t forget about the refs this game. Absolutely horseshit all night, I think two calls in our favor


LogansGambit

There's really no reason anymore to not be playing the young guys on the team for experience over him. Bullock is a negative in all phases of the game. Hell there's GOT to be some cheap free agent forwards out there Dallas could get who would at least shoot better on open looks than Reggie did tonight.


Pkch42

I mean, what young guys? Hardy and McKinley Wright? I agree in principle but Hardy can’t be on the floor when Luka+Dinwiddie+Timmy are out, 4 guard lineups aren’t a thing for a reason. Games are tough enough as is with Timmy being our PF guarder half the time


LogansGambit

Right now, might have to be a combo of throwing both Powell and Wood out so there's some height, and hiding Luka on taller guys that aren't offensive threats, and sprinkling in THJ where they can. AJ Lawson is a complete unknown as well but he's literally same size as Reggie. Also why I said maybe the route of some cheap forward. Reggie's just not worth playing anymore at any significant level.


Pkch42

Yea I agree on the cheap forward, hope we do something before the deadline. It took Kidd 20 games + half the team being injured to give Wood his minutes so I’m not holding my breath on Lawson - or Hardy for the most part


desirox

Amen lol


noyesoohindi

We can't extend Wood for whatever he wants. Lol. We can offer a big contract in the offseason though.


DC_Coach

What's worse, the way Bullock is playing right now, we won't get more than a rusty doorknob for him. Wait, can the doorknob hit a layup?


Pkch42

Trade him for another reclamation project or something, other teams will value what he used to being to the table. I just don’t want to see him brick another wide open three, I just can’t stand that shit hitting the front of the rim anymore


armandocalvinisius

PATBEV YOU ARE A MAVERICK!


shifty_loo11

Despite Reggie Bullock’s best efforts, the Mavericks pulled it out


sancti1

Bullock for three…airball


WalkerTejasRanger

Well it’s a Win. That’s all that matters tonight. Nice win. Also, we really could use Josh and Maxi and DFS right now. Offensively they’re gonna be just as frustrating as everyone else obviously but their defense would be nice right now.


echoshep

Josh is the only one who gives us some transition offense and is the only one side from Spence that can attack a closeout and actually do something with the ball.


c_msea

Oh how I miss those hammers Josh was slamming down


Complexity777

Its a win but sloppy and shows the holes that will be exposed come playoff time


cowpandas

I’m exhausted, you guys. I mean shit, get ME a recovery beer.


BobanForThree

1OT: we missed 2 wide open and 1 decently open 3 by good shooters. We got solid looks, somebody other than Luka just needed to hit one 2OT: Reggie wtf man CHRISTIAN WOOD. His defense has improved SO much. Get this man paid Cuban! starting to come around to the idea that we need to trade Timmy. He’s a solid piece for the first ~45 minutes of the game in the regular season, but he’s a liability down the stretch. Does not have the handle or touch to attack teams that are locked in defensively also fuck anybody who thinks we should trade Dinwiddie. Man is so clutch and knows exactly how to play off Luka


c_msea

Dinwiddie is so good for us man, he has his nights off like anyone does but without him we're fucked. Literally no other playmaker. Not to mention his offensive versatility


Greeneyes_65

Agree with everything you said. And the last point, YES. We need to keep Spence, he is that guy


BjornLakenstrazen

Christian "long ass fucking arms" Wood


c_msea

Christian “fuck off Westbrook bitch” Wood


busta_wolf

Mavs and stars preparing us for the cardiac cowboys on Monday


ayecade1

Please don’t remind me about that.


ABoyIsNo1

What the massive choke job by the Stars tonight or that we are about to see an even worse one from the Cowboys? :(


ayecade1

I have a terrible terrible feeling about the cowboy game on Monday night. Just praying that they show up lol


Reddit-on-Reddit

I can’t stand to watch another second of Reggie Bullock basketball. I just can’t.


desirox

He’s toast, no more waiting on him. I think we just have no choice with Doe and Josh out. Those guys can’t come back soon enough


idkimhereforthememes

Where the fuck is green? He was supposed to be back in December


NeolibGood

It’s outrageous at this point. 34% from the field 31% from 3, 67% from the line. His defense isn’t that good, he plays just under 30 min a night, gets no assists, and is often too scared to shoot. He is unplayable.


Accomplished-Pear988

Hes also too skinny to box out, responsible for a lot of offensive boards tonight


w1sxo

the worst part of it is, that in the entire league there is no player who has more wide open shots than Bullock. He literally should have the highest 3% in the league, instead he is 4% points below Doncic, who shoots the most contested 3s in the league. Im done with Bullock - rather give Hardy 30 Minutes and accept his 5 TOs per game. still better than watching Bricklock


Sendrocity

He’s like a rash that never quite goes away


Alex_Sander077

His rebounding was on point today though. 9 of them and I remember a few being extremely contested at clutch moments. It's not a lot but at least it's something.


aabcsk9er

Cwood looked phenomenal tonight was crucial in OT 🔥🔥


lmart0423

Just tuned in to catch the end, Reggie really clutched up with that free throw right guys? This win is on him


b_martin23

I need a Xanax after this


whymanyword

Starters 146 minutes, bench 43 minutes. Bullock needs to be forced to take a Simmons and go home, hire a shrink and get himself together.


Felipernani

we have a very shortened rotation now, that’s expected tbh


Powpowpowowowow

The bench played fucking awful tonight it was a rough watch. I think Reggie will be fine coming in as a rotation wing but him starting is just out of the question now. We need Green and DFS back.


paritoshg

True. Our bench is literally the third unit rn with josh, dfs and maxi out


noyesoohindi

Yeah it's been fortunate we're hovering aroung 4-5th seed right now. But we really need those players back.


c_msea

Starting *and* having 30 minutes every game


poorrandy

We won? WE WON!


pat1122

Luka would’ve had 25 assists if the guys could hit their fucking shots


Actuary41

If our guys were just below league average on open 3s, luka would have at least 12apg this year. 2-8 from bullock. THJ bricks so many open 3s in a row. It's infuriating.


noyesoohindi

We got to have other options. We can run a little more. Have other players cut to the basket, no dribbling required there. Try players shoot some midrange.


PagieHD

You can just tell the players that can always get away with anything they want. Luka would of been ejected 6x over if he did what LeBron did tonight, main one being the coaches challenge act.

TheBigIguana15

I would like to request that we forever retire the idea that Wood can't be a winning player. That shit was awesome. He got the job done in OT.


idkimhereforthememes

The current narrative now is that he can't play against bigger centers, but in the playoffs Luka makes sure that the bigger centers get out of rotation real quick.


synyster-sounds

Chuck always complains that Luka doesn't share the ball more but he never learns that our players can't do anything with the ball


synyster-sounds

Shaq gets it


Dlew1983

Just an atrocity from the refs tonight. Can't imagine there's a single person who became a nba fan tonight if they were on the fence. A win is a win at least. Loved watching wood come through on the defensive end in the clutch.


b_martin23

I am now pro Christian Wood max contract.


echoshep

League needs to review the body check by Russ and then that tackle after the made basket. Should cost him a game


PubicAnimeNummerJuan

Dude was straight up mugging people out there


Jcarter1632

He is a troglodyte.


bluecrabcakes

One of the games of all time.


TheBigCheddar99

We beat the refs thank God


aemerson24

Refs were awful on both sides tonight I can’t remember seeing a game officiated that badly


TheBigCheddar99

I genuinely believe that no such game exists.


[deleted]

Honestly it's hard to feel good about the win, just so frustrating for everyone


bob3908

Brown for the game was a huge call


Touchling

Great call


Party_Taco_Plz

Great win… never a doubt! 😂😂


Shaunosaurus

I knew it was a W after Russ rocked the baby.


Powpowpowowowow

Yo like meme on Russ but they were down 19 and he played his ass off tonight honestly. He even had that clutch ass 3, Lebron honestly choked this game for them for once.


lackaboughs

It's not really memeing on Russ but on how cursed his rocking the baby is. Russ rocking the baby leads to a Lakers loss almost every single time, I think they're 1-8 in games where Russ rocks the baby lmao


desirox

I think I knocked a few years off my lifespan with that game


CSkinzzz

Cardiac mavs back with a vengeance


vl-n

Almost cried when wood was hobbling


shifty_loo11

If Christian Wood has million fans, then I'm one of them. If Christian Wood has one fan, then I'm THAT ONE. If Christian Wood has no fans, that means I'm dead


inyokoolaid

We need this Wood extension asap.


BDRParty

Russ & Luka acting like they weren't in battle just minutes ago. I forget these dudes leave it on the court sometimes lol.


iam_watchingyou

Retain Wood for whatever it takes man.. I have not seen anyone not named Luka hustle as much as he did today


Powpowpowowowow

Did anyone doubt that Luka was going to hit those 3s? Idk why I just saw Tim brick a couple and Luka was like, ok then, guess Ill fucking bail us out again lol. Dude is absolutely unreal and on top of that Dinwiddie, Wood and even Tim a bit came up clutch.


Frank_Cap

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. I don't care. Yes. YES


Onebigfreakinnerd

Literally the angriest game I’ve ever seen lol. Loved it.


Semi-Pro-Narcissist

I watch a number of sports across multiple leagues around the world and I can honestly say that after 52 years on this planet, that was the worst officiating I've ever witnessed. A crew made up of Andrea Bocelli, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles could have called that game better. Will take the W, but fuck me that was brutal to watch. It's 6:20am here and I'm seriously considering my life choices at the moment. Onwards and upwards. Fuck the NBA, Fuck the Lakers and Fuck Russ.


Felipernani

this was the worst reffed game of the season and that’s saying something. we should’ve been paid to watch this


SynterX

Extend Christian Wood. Show Hardy his 1 vs 3 for 10 hours straight Thank Westbrook for rocking the baby


HarrisonGod

Wood and Dinwiddie, our overtime saviors. Aw man those Luka shots to tie the game, that game took the life outta me. Fuckin hell mavericks would not give up tonight despite all the bullshit.


Ash_snow19

Extend woods, give Dinwiddie more touches. Luka > 99% off the NBA


gemmyboy335

Let’s give credit for that clutch dunk from Dinwiddie too!


Helzinen

*Clutch dunks


PubicAnimeNummerJuan

I have... thoughts. That was the sloppiest fucking game I've seen in a while. Goddamn that was bad basketball. The officiating definitely played into it, but that was painful to watch even without that. I'm not even sure that counts as a game of basketball. I was genuinely hoping for it not to go to 2OT and watching 5 more minutes of whatever activity these 2 teams were doing That might have actually been the worst officiating I've ever seen. People say that a lot, but that wasn't making a few bad calls. That was a persistent failure to make even the most obvious of calls. Like I have never seen professional referees look so in over their heads holy shit. At least the replacement refs had a reason to be bad The way SVG was jacking off LeBron and Westbrook all game, you'd think we were the underdog fighting from behind the whole time, not leading for basically the whole first 40 minutes Westbrook was being a real bitch. He admittedly played some good D on Luka, but he was just running over and through guys, especially in OT. Multiple missed fouls, a few possibly even flagrant


jdmay101

Absolutely, without a doubt one of the double overtime games ever played.


BigTex77RR

Extend Christian Wood. Give him the 4 years he want I’ve seen enough. Also I don’t like how chummy Lebron is with Luka. Gives me recruiter vibes.


MFFL12_17

They blitz Luka and he got triple double. Cant stop a superstar.


Swordsteel

Dinwiddie with the highlight reel!


shrumrii

GOD I FUCKING LOVE LUKA


Simple_Wait_7286

REGGIE BULLOCK, YOU MY FRIEND ARE A SHANGHAI SHARK VERY SOON.


Axisofcoolio

I would trade Reggie for 2 hours of my Thursday night back and a bag of ruffles


DC_Coach

A bag of old, stale Ruffles cuz they were left open for a week.


CheetahSperm18

Thank fuckin god we don't have a back to back tomorrow


shakethecouch

9/17 on free throws


PubicAnimeNummerJuan

Hey over 50%, that's marginally better than a coinflip! That's good right? Right..?


bluecrabcakes

Luka, Wood and Spence vs Lakers feat. Bullock and Jason Kidd.


TZBlueIce

At a certain point you just take the win and get out. But we badly need Dorian and Josh back soon soon. Luka's definitely wearing down. Could get ugly fast if he has to keep playing these minutes with the lack of depth.


NeolibGood

God this team hurts me to watch


architectzero

I stopped watching early in the 4th because it was stressing me out so much. Just an all around awful game. I’ll take the win, but I fully admit I wimped out on this one. Worst officiating I’ve seen in a while.


rebelstand

DONIC showed lebron whose boss, 9-28 for 24points the self proclaimed goat LMAO, dude was 0-8 in OT LOL


aldaybullyz167

How is reggie still on the team


ayecade1

Package Reggie bullock and hardaway for literally anyone, at this point it doesn’t even have to be a player. I would trade both of them for two packs of 5 gum and a slim Jim.


L3tsG3t1T

Luka aggrivated his hurt abdomen again... dude is a walking corpse if he gets elbowed there. He was complaining to the refs that the Lakers were harassing him there. Refs blind as usual


domomonster11

fat fuck chuck has zero basketball IQ


alonzobarishredding

Can't wait for JG, Doe and Maxi to be back!


shrumrii

EXTEND WOOD


edmarcake

I know Mavs played ugly tonight but thanks for the game. Its still fun to watch specially youre fan of basketball!


WFH_Gatsby

I’m pushing the Spencer getting to the rack more often narrative


Ok_Republic6747

Does this people at tnt watched the game at all charles said they won because they took the ball oit of lukas hands??? And my guy also said thj can create his shoot lmfaoooo this people


T1_D

We have to trade Reggie bullock. He is fucking awful man . 2-8 …. 7 points in 47 minutes . Dwight Powell had 6 points in 18 minutes It’s unacceptable man. 25% from 3 and can’t make a damn layup or jumpshot . Literally a black void on offense


jdmay101

3 bricks on wide open shots in overtime alone.


noyesoohindi

Doubt we can trade Reggie without giving out some assets. But once Green and DFS gets back he needs to ride the bench.


ILikeTujtels

Luka is the MVP so all the media can STFU now!


ShinyShinxEnjoyer

Am I supposed to sleep now?


ksao

Refs lost tonight


jdmay101

I'm legitimately surprised they won that.


Moe4ver

Westbrick took out his Cuban hate on Luka.


LoNineLo

Luka MVP


BjornLakenstrazen

That was one of the officiated games of all time


NoWayNotThisAgain

That game pissed me off. But Spencer and Wood are fighters.


Active_Page_3886

Pay Wood the max if he puts two hands on Reggie Bullock in the locker room


GOtexas1

luka is clutch as hell


cofxtc

Fine I'll say it... I hate seeing wide open bricks. Not misses but bricks, airballs shit like that. From certain people on our team.


funkadelik

Fuck this game honestly. Luka needs help on personnel and coaching. The refs were shit but it shouldn't have been this close. Major changes are needed


Yallowbananas

I would give up both my ankles for CWood


Dar4125

Great: C-Wood’s defense Hate: Reggie Bullock getting starters minutes


AdVisual3406

Gritty win. Fuck the Lakers. Luka is an ironman. Wood as well.


WalkingZukini

Don't forget to vote for All Stars C wood and Luka! https://vote.nba.com


aggster13

I hate this team rn minus Luka, Wood, & Dinwiddie


Dbat19

Wtf is this game


Fit-Structure-9395

Trade Reggie for cam reddish before you say that we trade with the Knicks a lot they owe us from that Brunson under the table trade


FaBiOtHeGrEaTeSt

Reggie makes me wanna pull my fucking hair out but, we got that W babyyyy


Epicmitch197

5 total blocks, 2 of which denied ties in overtime, Christian Wood trade was a whole damn robbery


logster2001

Bullock really taking the heat off of Dwight Powell this season lol


Nico_Simon

Might be the worst double ot this season. Was a chore to watch with all those bricks and shitty calls


hkbk2011

Reggie and Westbrook at a bar tonight


Proper_Grapefruit808

Honestly wanted to turn it off, but when Luka went OT with the Knicks off a missed free and pressured like that, anything can happen… Luka saved us twice with those 3s Dinwiddie was phenomenal in OT, great drives CW was crucial and was blocking crazy (even with a hurt ankle) they better EXTEND HIM! And wtf is Reggie doing out there, like honestly put anyone else in (Jaden H, Ntilikina, even fucking McGee) literally anybody else 🤦🏻‍♂️ Great win, but if we’re playing like this against the Trail Blazers I’ma be scared


taekbangleessang

Bullock for Cam Reddish let's go! We can fix each other.


papadondon

i know we won & all but we had 3 offensive boards the whole game, and its against this lakers team smh


rm888893

I swear these games will kill me one day.


Hurtelknut

How tf is Bullock not getting DNPs already? He straight up doesn't look like a professional basketball player anymore.


dhoo8450

Reggie and Tim gotta fuckin go man. Simple as that.


AtreusIsBack

Reggie is trying to gatekeep Luka from winning the MVP. That's all I can think of.


w1sxo

Reggie Bullock is the worst player in the NBA right now - prove me wrong


Ok-Yogurtcloset5429

Westbrook is TRASH


Cambocant

Extend him 🪵


opiewang

Extend CWood, I fucking hate all your self-sabotaging shenanigans since 2011!


txking12

Leave Bullock in LA. Extend Wood.


Tmac834

We don’t make the WCF last year or win this game without Spence and y’all need to understand that


TheChosenOne311

Nobody on this sub, or on Mavs Twitter gonna talk about how good of a game J-Kidd coached tonight, but that’s ok. The real ones know. Late game felt like Luka and Spencer finally figured out how to play off each other when Spencer has the ball in his hands. I would LOVE to see them going back to that late in games moving forward. Luka can find open guys out of double teams all night. But then you can force teams to change up their defense if Luka is playing off ball. The efficiency is the key, and they were def efficient on those reps in OT.


PubicAnimeNummerJuan

Hell, Kidd flying over to Luka to hold him back after the Westbrook flagrant probably saved the game, gotta give him credit lol


ayecade1

We are watching our organization fail the best player we’ve ever had. Get this man some help and do it quick.
