Following their latest loss, the Dallas Mavericks are out of play-in contention and could miss the playoffs entirely.
Their defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night was painful for many reasons and left fans hanging their heads low.
Even Kyrie Irving seems downtrodden by how things are going for his team.

Irving’s statement set off a chorus of responses online, and most of them were negative against the star.
Some fans were pleading with the Mavericks to figure out their problems and get back on track.
“They gotta get it together! Too much talent on the Mavs to not make the playoffs,” one fan said.

A lot of Twitter users piled on Irving after this latest loss.
“Kyrie is overrated. Great player to WATCH. Does not equal to WINNING. Unless he has Lebron,” one user said.

Some people went so far as to say that situations like this pop up again and again no matter where Irving is playing.
“It’s every team since leaving the Cavs,” one person said about team difficulties around Irving.
How can he be so talented but so much of a disaster too? It’s every team since leaving the Cavs.

At this point, it’s clear that both fans and players on the team are not happy with how things are going for the Mavericks.
There is not much time for Dallas to get it together and give fans faith again.
Irving has every right to be disappointed by the team and now people are asking what he is going to do about it.
