1 in 11, abandoned by Kidd at a critical moment, left the Warriors, and no one takes care of your emotions anymore

The NBA regular season continues, and today the Mavericks traveled to the road to take on the Thunder, who are the first team in the West, and they ended up 121-119. Narrowly beat the Thunder. Doncic, the star of the Mavericks in this game, is absent. Irving had 23 points and six assists. PJ Washington had 27 points and 17 rebounds. For the Thunder, Alexander had 36 points and eight assists on 13-of-19 shooting. But it still didn't help the team win.

In the absence of Doncic, the Mavericks clearly need Irving and Thompson to step up and help the team. But Thompson's overall performance today was very poor, as he started the game and scored just five points on 1-of-11 shooting 1-of-8 from beyond the three-point line. So today, when it came to a critical moment, Kidd also abandoned Thompson. Replaced by the better Dinwiddie, Thompson played just 25 minutes in this game.

You know, Thompson has been abandoned by Kidd more than once this season at key moments. Thompson has been inconsistent since joining the Mavericks this season. In fact, he got a lot of easy shots in this game, but he didn't hit them. And Thompson, who was abandoned at the last moment, obviously doesn't have the tsundere of his time with the Warriors. As early as the Warriors, Kerr also abandoned Thompson at a critical moment, but Thompson, who played for the Warriors, had a lot of complaints after being abandoned by Kerr, and he was also very frustrated and dissatisfied on the bench. It even affected the atmosphere of the Warriors to a certain extent.

But Thompson of the Mavericks team has no such mood after being abandoned, and he is very indifferent on the sidelines. Once on the Mavericks, no one is going to take care of his emotions like the Warriors do. When you play badly, you will be decisively abandoned by Kidd, and even if Thompson plays bad games for a long time in the future, or even Kidd will send Thompson to the bench, this is possible. And Thompson is also very clear that the current Mavericks team is not his parent team, and he is not the veteran of this team, and he has very little say in it.

So that's Thompson's choice, leaving the Warriors and you're going to be marginalized more and more when you play poorly, even if you're a player with honors in your career. The next thing many fans hope for is that Thompson can play consistently, and if his performance gets worse and worse, maybe his self-confidence will take a bigger hit. Spending two seasons with the Mavericks could be a complete loss of his pride. Of course, all this is his own choice, and he must also be responsible for his own choice.
