The 3 guard lineup RC has been dreaming off lol.

What a great 2nd.

Wright and Porzingis were picture perfect

Have to hit those layups Luka cmon... But also a lot of credit to the team for fighting back. Hopefully they didn't lose too much energy doing that.

At least they can all pass, shoot and defend (yes, I said it - Luka has been playing much better defensively so far from what I've seen in 6 quarters).
Wright is just a crafty player, I like him.

Well ...

What I'm liking and hating so far this game:

Pros:
KP in general - offense and defense (still wish he was a better rebounder).
Delon is starting to look like he fits in better - he's being aggressive, attacking and penetrating.
Brunson is looking pretty under control tonight.

Cons:
Why does RC play DFS? The Mavs basically play 4v5 with him on the court.
PnR defense is horrible. To be fair, both teams are playing pretty bad defense - the game is on track for 120+ points. I suspect both teams are fairly young and are running a lot but I think the game might slow down in the 2nd half.
Rebounding is an issue - guys need to block out and prevent the opposing team from getting offensive rebounds. Mavs getting killed with 2nd chance points.

Don't forget Maxi. His presence was felt on defense. Then KP also finally started protecting the rim much better.

Ingram is giving us so much trouble. I don't know how we would be able to defend Zion as well. Well, the Pels are good IMO, they are trouble for every team in this league.

C'mon Delon ... be OK.

Lol ...
Brunson won a jumpball against Ingram.
Did not expect that.

Damn RC, can't you play Justin Jackson instead of DFS?

Wright is really making an impact and i love it

Imon · Post #72 » by **Imon** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:53 am

Nothing scarier than a 3-happy Maxi.

Guard rotation still confounds me.

I know it's only the second game but if Hardaway and Curry can't find a way to fit in the Mavs are going to keep getting killed by opposing benches.

DFS is a lot scarier, not even close.

"The other Curry" and Wright are amazing additions to this team.

Oh, 5 guard ineup accidentially works well. DFS--JJ-TH-DW-Seth...how come? It doesn't work all preseason long.

DFS is scary all the time.

Halloween is quickly approaching - if you want to scare a Mavs fan put out a 5-man Finney-Smith lineup on your front lawn.

Seth Curry doesn't know how to miss 3. Wow.

Wright has been amazing so far.
Man, if was a competent 3-point shooter it would be better than having Danny Green.

Only issue I have with KP is that he camps at the 3pt line instead of being under the basket to grab offensive boards.

Who will win this game?
