RS 24/25 - Mavs @ Wolves (730PM EST Tonight) 

Post#1 » by Dirk » Tue Oct 29, 2024 3:55 pm

Revenge game for the Wolves who swapped Towns for Randle and Di Vicenzo. They haven't played since Saturday.

Hopefully Luka shoots over 30% in this game and PJ Washington can back up his first solid game.

It's clear what Kidd is doing. Same **** as last year. He'll take like 20-25 games to figure out rotations and what fits best. I don't expect much from this team for some time and i know people will be frustrated. After that, Nico will then tweak the roster with a move if really needed. It's unfortunate that so many fans can't recognize this and we see that some already think that the sky is falling after 3 games.

It takes time to figure this stuff out when you have new players. Lively is still light in the a** and undisciplined at times. We need Gafford to stay healthy. I don't think we need anymore roster tweaks. We need to focus on improving the talent we have. Starting with PJ Washington's development and Lively's.

Minny is playing really physical....not dirty but physical. I think he will be back with knee brace. Long run - the better shape that luka is in the better he'll be able to sustain those hits.

You can't take contact to your knees even if you're in the best shape of your life.

That's true but I think its was the back of his leg and not knee. We'll see. And to Luka's credit he looks slimmer this year.

I really dislike when Luka goes in these foul grifting modes. It's like he actively wants to prove to the refs that he gets fouled and it just messes up his and the team's rhythm. It's frustrating.

That goes back to maturity and leadership. He has such a grind it out style that he's going to get contact nearly every play. He needs to plant seeds with the refs but dont complain. No one likes complainers.

These OOT plays by Kidd so far this year have been impressive. Very nice play by Luka to PJ for the alley.
