Following a few decisions by Jason Kidd regarding his rotation, Frank Ntlikina found playing time on the Mavericks side. Real good news for the leader, who needs minutes to find confidence. Only here, the supporters are not convinced. Some had quite harsh words after its release…
Hurt, Luka Doncic was not on the floors this Saturday evening, when his team was opposed to the Cavaliers. Donovan Mitchell’s teammates were therefore favorites, and as proof, they won: 100-99 after extra time. Yes, it was a very complicated game for Cleveland. The fault in particular of Kemba Walker, holder, who dropped no less than 32 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds.
The leader has regained confidence in Texas. Above all, he has proven that he is capable of great things, even if victory is unfortunately not at the end for him. This absence from Doncic was able to benefit Frank Ntilikina, well used by Jason Kidd off the bench. He finished with 22 minutes in his legs, for 3 points at 1/6 shooting, 0/4 at three points, 5 assists and 4 fouls.
Frank Ntilikina attacked by fans!
Not the best performance of the French side of the Mavericks, far from it, especially with an extension to the key. We expect a little more aggressiveness from the leader, strongly criticized by fans after this game:
God I hate Frank Ntilikina so much.

I can’t look at Frank Ntilikina for a second longer
Disappointing in this game, Frank received a lot of messages after the game. A rather disappointing reaction finally from the fans, obviously not very patient with the Frenchman. Fortunately Jason Kidd seems ready to give him time, especially since the former Knicks player is capable of interesting things.
In trouble, Frank Ntilikina did not release his best performance against the Cavaliers. A bad pass for the leader, who hopes to regain some confidence over the weeks. But obviously, the fans do not want to wait…
