  1. How to close out a game (when having the lead) by 2019-20 Dallas Mavs 1. Start jacking long range threes early in the shot clock when up by 10+ 2. Put the ball in the hands of your 35 year old 3rd string PG instead of your stud (sorry JJ I love you but got dam) 3. Get shots for players who average 3 minutes a game. Gotta spread the wealth I guess?
  2. No fit whatsoever in my opinion. We need spacing to let our offense flow. He’s an anchor in the block
  3. Fuck me somehow left Luka on the bench
  4. my team's taken a dump with injuries. Willing to offload anyone not named Luka or LBJ. Send reasonable offers. Again key word reasonable.
  5. Put another shrimp on the barbie! Nice Trey to end the 1st
  6. I was listening to the Simmons Stein podcast. I agree with Stein when he says this year needs to be about figuring how to get KP and Luka working seamlessly. Right now that's not the case. Get that dynamic sorted and then look to add the 3rd piece. I also like the comment about this Mavs team being built around Luka and his generational talents similar how to the Ravens have gone all in on building a team around Lamar Jackson.
  7. Fuck the Spurs! Luka droppin young sack on that forehead
  8. Close to 15% through the season and we are starting to see where minutes need to be allocated. I've never seen an NBA team where 10 guys are averaging 20 minutes per game. We don't need part time starters we need a solid starting 5 with 3-5 key reserves and then the mop up duty crew Who needs to play more 1. Wright-aka Pat Bev lite/ Solid defense, scrappy player gets loose buckets, can drop dimes 2. THJ- next coming of Vinnie "the Microwave" Johnson/ best scoring option past Luka and KP, He should starts honestly 3. JJ- Puerto Rican Papi/Where the fuck is he? He gets visually buried on the bench behind You Rang's big ass. Ricky C can't see him I guess. 4. Kleber- the German Eduardo Najera/ active in defense, can hit open shots so stretches the floor Who needs to play less 1. The "other" Curry- game more like his dad than his brother/ I get it he can shoot threes except he's not this year, he's listening to Foreigner Cold as Ice on repeat, other than the perceived sharpshooting he's a body getting in the way while the adults play 2. Dwight P-the understudy of Lob City/ He catches lobs and finishes. Congrats you can do the easiest thing in the NBA for a 7 footer 3. Brunson-the 6 second shot clock/ I'm a huge fan of his game. I thought based on last year he was going to lock down starting PG. Now he seems eager to prove that and jacks up every chance he gets. Because of it, his passing (his best attribute IMO) is gone
  9. Man I hear ya but the dude hasn't played in the NBA for 2 seasons. There is certainly some adjustment to the speed of the game, the defense etc. It's easy to hit jumpers in practice with no one on you. He will get better. I don't think he can get back to all star level this year but next year onward you are looking at 2 Mavs as all stars with Luka starting. I will say his shot blocking is the part of his game closest to his previous level. Still has to work on shot selection, his D, and rebounding
  10. 5 games in where 5-0 was certainly realistic. Both losses on some bull shit. We already know THJ needs to hang out at the end with Courtney Lee and Bob. What other thoughts are there about our best units? Brunson and Wright are studs. Can we just alternate them at point and 2 with a little Curry sprinkled in? Dwight and Maxi fill the 5. One for D and one for O. DFS and Jackson are both serviceable at the 3. Luka and KP need to continue to build chemistry and find ways to play off each other. Ultimately I think that means KP working more on his catch and shoot and post scoring.
  11. Those two Luka passes the behind the back to Powell and the oop to KP were unreal
  12. We got us a deep ass team man. Second unit is prolly the strongest overall in the league. I’d swap curry for Brunson or Wright in the starting 5. Curry needs to microwave off the bench.
