How many shots though? I feels like 17 a game would be a nice predictor of out put for him.

Less then Dragic, & more then Dion.

Would let him shoot it up. He's an offensive player first and foremost and shoots it at a high rate. Give him the rock. We're not established enough at any spot to hold guys back.

Oh i totally agree, but who is going to tell Dion that? :dontknow:

Yeah Hassan has a piss poor attitude, looks like a woman out there sometimes instead of just bringing it all and fight all the time with a burning desire to win, he is somewhat a prima dona. If hassan was playing with UD or Mcgruder attitude, he would be a Hall of famer

Time for me to eat some humble pie. I was outspoken critic of JRich earlier this season when he was struggling hard and getting significant burn. My frustration was mainly born through our misuse of Winslow, but still, time for a mea culpa.

I for one welcome our new Rich overlord.

Winslow is still 3 years younger, & still has a lot of time still to grow. He still has'nt had enough consistent min to grow yet.I wish we could send him to the G League so he can dominate their, & grow his cohones back. That & stop getting injured. :banghead:

I know Spo said he doesn’t anticipate Winnie back tomorrow, but with no Dion and our injury situation, he’s probably the most likely to be potentially available, given his injury was deemed kinda minor. We’ll see I guess.

In the interim, your regularly scheduled goldencok program will recommence.

-- Spoelstra said he remains optimistic of realizing even more from Kelly Olynyk.

-- "He's very committed to his player developmental. He wants to improve. He's ambitious. That's a great marriage. We love to serve and try to help guys reach their dreams. So a great start would be launching eight threes a game, regardless of whether they're open or not."

-- Olynyk said he would attempt to oblige.

-- "I mean that's definitely the plan. Hopefully it works like it did the other night [in Boston]. In some games, it doesn't. That's definitely what the plan is, to try to open everything up."

-- And, "They want me to shoot 'em, so guess I'm going to shoot 'em."

So good. I'll post more impressions tomorrow. Gotta sleep. zzzz

Caveat: All imho.

Putting up an early double-digit lead, we made the Mavericks play catch up the entire game. They were able to draw even multiple times, but we always had an answer, usually a 3 by Josh Richardson or Wayne Ellington. These two sharpshooters combined with Bam's excellent play inside, TJ's clutch spirited play, and Derrick Walton's good minutes from the bench to bring us victory. Olynyk had a promising first quarter only to be plagued by turnovers. Jordan Mickey had an unhappy game, always in foul trouble and badly handled the ball, along with being unable to score even easy shots. Haslem is a player-coach long past his prime. Without him, though, we don't have players.

The team is incredibly fatigued but high on their success. I don't think Dallas is a terrible team. They are not going to win many games, but they will compete almost every night. Dirk embodies this spirit, but their backcourt is also decent. Ferrell and Dennis Smith are both pretty good. I was disappointed we didn't see DSJ's athleticism. On this Dallas team, it's Ferrell that penetrates and Dennis that stays back to shoot. Sometimes he was left open because Dirk was the priority. That guy still plays.

As for the rest, Barnes is solid if unspectacular. His missed free throws at the end of the 4th quarter were a godsend. Wesley Matthews is a placeholder for someone like Michael Porter, Jr or Bagley that Dallas plans to draft.

Simply put: This isn't their year.

I was worried after we lost Dion, but we were very well coached. The rotations looked fine for me with Walton as the backup guard. The kid really stepped up. I think we'll see him again tonight with Waiters out.

The name of the game, though, for me is Wayne Ellington. His 3-point shooting was havoc-inducing to Dallas's defense, freeing the other players like Richardson and TJ to ice the Mavs and then opening up space inside for Bam to do his magic. I don't think this is sustainable, but last night, we tore their limbs off and then operated on the patient with a sledgehammer.

Pretty damn cool.

Little known fact: Chris Bosh played more minutes in each of his blood clot shortened seasons than McBob has played in all the seasons since he signed with the Heat combined.
