My prediction:
If Powell plays 20 minutes and WCS plays 6 mins we will lose big.

God help us if that is our starting lineup.

Powell can't guard Gasol
DFS can't guard Davis
JRich can't guard LeBron

Would really like to see WCS and Maxi get the start in place of Powell and Hardaway in this game.

And I would just love to see common sense and the best basketball players play...

Send the guys in their play, if it doesn't work, bring in substitutes, and so on and on. Enough of the preset minutes regardless of gameplay. Something I miss with Rick the most. If someone doesn't play well. Bench his ass. If someone plays well give him more minutes and leave him in play for F's sake.

I hope we all have a Dwight Powell level of job assurance in 2021

I like what I have seen out of Finney Smith this season so far. They’ve done a great job developing him.

Hope they do the same with Green, Terry and Hinton.

We are not a playoff team without Porzingis.

They look like they don’t even care

Luka is playing today like he's in Europe. I believe right decision to turn things around.

Burke needs to take a bigger role on this team since THJ has no interest.

Without blind refs and with KP we'd be very competitive.

Rick Carlisle is such a sorry regular season coach.

We are gonna be lucky to be in the play in tournament at this rate

The dude is such a liability on the defense.

Is Green injured or has Rick just given up on him already?

We have to be realistic. Without some strange happening, Mavs are not competitive against top teams. No KP and 60% Luka is not enough no matter how referees whistle.

On offense.
I don't trust Hardaway.

Btw since Luka is out of shape Rick's brilliant mind thought you know what. Let's get others to bring the ball up the court and let's let Luka rest on the Wing for the majority of possessions.

I mean haven't watched this sort of crap since his start of his NBA career. But otherwise yeah Luka is moving terribly all over the floor and hurting the team with this out-of-shape approach.

As for the rest of the team. No real action making, terrible defensive. Outjumped brutally and literally playing it all in on the 3pt shots. Ugly **** to watch.

P.S. Half of Luka's passes were meaningless and almost intercepted, the dude screwed up play ups, ally ups and in general looks crap
