RS 24/25 - Mavs vs Thunder (Frid 8.30PM EST) 

Post#1 » by Dirk » Thu Jan 16, 2025 3:17 pm

Make the end pain. Or pain end. Or whatever.

When is Luka supposed to comeback?

We should still feel positive about this season. IF this team ever can get fully healthy, they'll be good. For now it's about survival and some player growth.

It's the easy way think that we lost because Refs sucks. But it just help someone to save his ass.
Nothing more.

Skip game. Trust me.

Isaiah Hartenstein is hurt.

Does it mean we have a chance?

Oh wait, we still have Kleber and Kidd.

Game over, man, game over!

Don't worry my friend, Kidd talked to Phil Jackson this summer. He just makes experiments.

It doesn't matter. Pelicans missed Zion, Ingram and Herb Jones. The Mavs still managed to a loss. Lively impacts the game in a big way. You rarely see Murray become so effective last couple of years. The Mavs guard defense is far from satisfying. It requires shot blocking big to clean things up. If opposing teams start two stretch bigs together, the Mavs get blown out regularly.

I wonder if Kyrie could overcome the defense from OKC. J-Will give Kyrie a lot of headaches. And the Mavs has no answer for SGA even with DJJ. Don't hold your hopes high for this game. The Mavs will enter the tanking zone pretty soon.

OKC has blown out the Cavs with 5 guard lineup. Last time, OKC made both Lively and Gafford a liability on both ends.

Mavs are a 6.5 point underdog.

H2H Last 10 Meetings: 5-5
OKC won the last meeting Dec 10th, 2024, 118-104

OKC is 9-1 in their last ten games.
They lost to Cleveland Jan 8th, 2025, 122-129.

Mavs are 2-8 in their last ten games.

Let's shock OKC!

From Mavs reddit some interesting facts.

Dinwiddie is 7th on the team in total clutch mins (33.6) played this season. He is 2nd in total clutch FGAs (17). Dinwiddie's clutch TS% this season is 43.3%. In the month of Jan., Dinwiddie leads the team in clutch FGAs w/8, which is 2x more than the next Mav. His clutch TS% in Jan. is 35.9%.

Mavs' Top 5 in total FGAs in the clutch this season:

-Kyrie (45.8 mins) - 29 FGAs + 9 FTAs; 44 TS%

-Dinwiddie (33.6 mins) - 17 FGAs + 6 FTAs; 43.3 TS%

-Luka (35.4 mins) - 16 FGAs + 4 FTAs; 47.9 TS%

-PJ (47.5 mins) - 15 FGAs + 13 FTAs; 79.6 TS%

-Klay (37.7 mins) - 11 FGAs; 59.1 TS%

In the month of January:

-Dinwiddie (11.4 mins) - 8 FGAs + 4 FTAs; 35.9 TS%

-Klay (6.1 mins) - 4 FGAs; 87.5 TS%

-PJ (11.4 mins) - 1 FGA; 125 TS%

-Naji (8.4 mins) - 1 FGA; 0 TS%

-Grimes (4.9 mins) - 1 FGA + 1 FTA; 104.2 TS%

-Hardy (3.4 mins) - 1 FGA ; 0 TS%

A fun fact to go along with the above: Klay and Dinwiddie have the same number of total assists in the clutch this season with 3. One of these players spends 91.3% of the time he’s on the court without the ball in his hands.


Long story short, Kidd is completely incapable of coaching anything without Luka or Kyrie. And this team can't get Luka back fast enough. Actually missing him on both ends of the floor. Luka led the team in transition points/deflections/fast break and he also played with faster pace they play now. On top of that, he was actually REALLY GOOD on defense as well.

Kidd will make experiments tonight too and he doesn't care about RS but he talked to Phil Jackson last summer so it's all ok... When Luka will come back we will magically see all the risults of those experiments and we will take care of RS.

This is the masterplan by our brillant coach, i had to explain it because someone here hasn't understood yet.

Does someone know. Who is the guy ranking Mavs players on MavsMoneyball? I have never seen someone being as clueless as this guy.

He gave 3 A, 3 B+ and 1 C(Klay) in a lost against shorthand Pelicans. Wtf? Apparently almost everyone, Dinwiddie included, had very good game. :lol:

SO IHart has a calf injury and will be evaluated in a week, while we have to wait a month for our guy? This season is disheartening

Because every calf injury is the same? :lol: Better question, why Hartenstein is missing so many games? Bad conditioning, laziness, too much beer?

More or less every team has some problems with injuries. Just look at OKC, Chet, their second best player will be out much more time that Luka and they didn't play a single game with both Chet and Hartenstein and they're still dominating the league. If team can't survive 1 month without their best player, than something else is wrong not just bad luck.

Highly unlikely you will tell me what I should do or not here.

I know it will sound maybe a bit silly but like we talked in the past, Gafford should bite way less on pump fakes or even shots. He gives up so much space when he gets himself out of position. Dude is absolutely obsessed with blocking shots. This is where Lively thrives, much better in space and can also cover more ground. Gafford sure is disappointing this year. Well apart from some games.

And Mavs players are mostly getting very good marks in this period of disastrous results. If I didn't watch the game and see 3 A, 3 B+ and 1 C, I would be sure we won by 30 points.
