RS 21/22 - Mavs vs Wizzards (Sat. 8:30PM EST)

Burke is really capable to recognize mismatches quickly. Burke just target Herrell on all possessions. And Wiz pays a huge price. Herrel is just incapable defender. The Mavs has blocked out better in the 2nd half. Wiz should have no business shooting 60% from field had it not been for lacking blocking out from the Mavs. Maxi really changes the floor game significantly. I wonder why Powell still gets minutes. Whenever Powell is on court, it's chaotic on both ends of the floor.

Hardaway is just bad on both end. So is Bullock. More DFS please.

Luka has to put more effort in defending and rebounding as well.

Funny how Powell leaves the game and the layups stop.
If we can somehow add a starting caliber defensive big, this team would elevate to another level.

Yeah, I'm becoming more comfortable with Brown than those two.

Burke seems to be better when Brunson is out.
Remember how well he played in the POs two years ago when Brunson was out.

Remember the Wiz played last night so their legs might not have much left

Good 1st half. Lot of defensive miscues especially in the interior but offensively we're looking a lot better.

Just having a competent big other then KP makes such a big difference. I'm glad to see Kidd playing Maxi way more then earlier in the season.

The fact that WCS is still not playing in China is an absolute miracle to me. My god, how is he allowed to play with Luka. So many fumbled chances.

Please stop the Neto layup line

Hardaway jr just stealing money this team would have been worlds better with derozen, new front office same dumb decisions

3rd qtr they had several chances to put the Wizard ls away.

2 missed FTs from Timmy, fumbled ball by WCS, and more.

Pathetic performance down the stretch again.

It's just weird that the team fights againt common sense and absolutely wants a center with KP.... The other centers suck and KP is a center. It's not that complicated to figure out. It's like answering 1+1 and yet Kidd can't do it.

Bullock was better than that last year, maybe he isn't put in a situation to succeed. I still would rather play him as a starter and put DFS at PF than seeing a starting lineup with Powell or WCS.

Positives Powell/WCS only played 10 min each compared to Klebers 29. I gotta believe 1 or both of Powell/WCS get moved and honestly I'm to the point I don't care what comes back.

Maybe if Bullock cuts the dead cat/squirrel/skunk (whatever it is he's going for) off from the top of his head, he might start playing better.

THJ got paid and doesn’t care. Or Kidd screwed up the offense. Or a combination of both. He’s been awful this year. He can’t continue to get these minutes and not score because he’s not going to give you anything else. Not defense. Not rebounding. Not playmaking. It would be better to give Burke minutes because at least he will drive to the rim.

THJ is pretty much useless. Even moreso if he's not making shots.

To be fair, Beal is a tough cover. But Hardaway is just really bad on both end. Too bad, Ntilikina is not back yet. I wonder why Kidd is so obsessive to play Bullock and Hardaway. I really hope a Buddy Hield trade goes down. Hield actually steals a win from Lebron in OT with a so-so Sacremento roster. The Mavs need big stage performer. Surely, Hardaway isn't one - on both end of the floor. Powell and WCS should have no business entering the court. And Boban should play a significant role this game. An undersized team on tired legs should have no business defending Boban. I also wonder why Kidd ask KP to post up from 18 feet instead of 5 feet. And then ask KP to wait at corner in clutch time again. That's absurd. Kidd is just bad as a coach. Let the player council run the team. It should be fine.

The Mavs has to get serious by trade deadline on: Powell, WCS, Hardawway, Bullock and so on. I am not even sure any of them is as effective as Juwan Howard or Shawn Bradley in Dallas. In term of impact to the team, these players are somewhat as effective as Danny Fortson or Raef Lafrentz.

Now that Luke Walton is fired. Maybe the Mavs can get an interviewee to challenge the bad Kidd experiment. The Mavs lose this game big because of Kidd's substitution. This make Kuzma and Neto gets very favorable mismatches. The Mavs fails to challenge Beal collectively. 10-14 is too effective. That's a huge failure defensively. A real natural PF is actually needed. I think Eugene could help a lot compared with the current group. None of those bigs are actually a PF. Too slow in foot speed. This opens the driving lanes and eventually open the three pointer opportunities as well. I also don't like the block out effort. Wiz run the same play over and over again - forcing a switch on a guard driving pass a big in the baseline and find a cutting big for easy bucket. The Mavs still has no ans. This responsibility should be on Kidd. How comes a coach can't resolve a simple play that generate like 20-30 points in a game? That's beyond awful. Just cut the passing lanes and steal the ball and run. The Mavs should have a good control of the tempo.
