RS 23/24 - Mavs @ Rockets (Frid., 8 PM EST)

Post #1 » by **Dirk** » Fri Dec 22, 2023 3:36 pm

Houston comes into the matchup after losing three games in a row.

Luka got revenge on Terrence Mann. Now it's Brooks turn to be kicked out of the club.

Josh Green: out (elbow), Dereck Lively II: day to day (ankle), Maxi Kleber: out (toe), Kyrie Irving: out (heel).

Luka is also out for tonight.

Luka, Kyrie, Exum, Lively, Green, Kleber, and (possibly) Curry.

Yeah this ones a wrap. Wheels are flying off right about now.

So looking at this lineup:
C-Powell / Holmes
F-Williams / Morris / Brown
F-DJJ / OMax
G-Curry / THJ / Dennis
G-Hardy / Lawson

Probably the first Mavs’ game that I’m intentionally going to miss this season.

Maybe we can sign Kemba Walker real quick! :lol:

Kemba is Mike James backup in Monaco :lol:

I do not skip the game unless it will be a blowout...

Kief, THJ, Hardy, DJJ, Grant = All time starting lineup.

THJ for 50... shots?

Holy **** these summer league lineups are horrible. And Hardy without Luka is basically beyond terrible.

22% FG and 1-17 from 3 is actually impressive at this point.

Stinks Eason is out for the Rockets as he's fun to watch. Also Jalen Green ain't that guy.

No Luka and Irving this team is basically G-league Team

When you have two braindead guards (THJ, Hardy) running the point, that's what you get. Even more reliant on the 3pt shot than usual.

Sad ..... -35 for both Williams and Hardy.

I want to see those same guys who think Exum should go back to the bench so Grant Williams can keep his starting spot.

Grant Williams is poor signing,undersize slow feet PF that can't reb,only useful is shoot corner 3,avg under 10 pts+ 4rebs,what a joke,he is just a bench player :noway:

Well, as expected we couldn't score considering the amount of players not playing today. Hardy looked awful, THJ 20 shots 16 points, not good either.

In order of players who were the best:

1. Prosper, he was excellent, loved his hustle and 20 points as well, well done.
2. Dexter Dennis, 18 points in 17 minutes, enjoyed watching him.
3. Holmes, 16/8 in only 22 minutes,
4. I liked AJ's minutes too, he hustled hard.

Now lets get onto Grant. Really dude? You gonna give the team zero points? Perhaps he should've sat this one out too, zero points is a disaster. And it's not the first time this season. DJJ wasn't really any better either.

Hopefully some guys are back for tomorrow.

How did OMax look?

41Dirk41 · Post #17 » by **41Dirk41** » Sat Dec 23, 2023 8:51 am

Tough game to watch. Very tough.
I deserve a prize for this, fire Kidd please :lol:

Holmes is an NBA player, what Kidd is doing with him is embarassing.
He is constantly behind Powell, Brown III and Morris in the rotation, no matter why. EMBARASSING.
Probably he is not a nice guy or a "yes man" like some scrub that we have.

O-Max has hustle and he is very long, good rebounder too. But he is still raw.
Dennis shows good things but we have no space for him.

Btw it was a G-League game, not very indicative but some players played very bad.
I can understand that from role players but Hardy was very disappoiment.
He looks like a mediocre volume shooter.

Oh well Lawson has some potential, he can be a 10/15 minutes RS for sure... But he is short unfortunately.

He looked great, considering he hasn't had the continuity of play that Lively has had. I personally thought he was the best player on the Mavs today.

I never was or will be on the Green train, but now I've jumped off the Hardy one
