That;s good news but based on yesterday's game we kinda need more defense to at least keep the other team from breaking records. Thus, we need MCW back ( can't believe im saying this )

MCW isn't even on the road trip. At last report a day or two ago Clifford said he was in a walking boot. It might be a little while for him.

Fournier is with the team, but still struggling with the back spasms.

last thing i heard MCW is still in a walking boot so....who knows when he's coming back....with our medical staff? could be a week to a year

I want to see Cole stop forcing the issue and start slowing down a bit. Really glad that AG is back, we missed him greatly in the last game against Houston. Need Vuc to bring better effort and actually step up to help his teammates out there get easier looks. Also really hope we don't see Birch at PF but I am sure that is going to happen again. That is a recipe for disaster especially against the Mavs.

Hmmmm so Clark is really just 6'6 huh. Too small for PF and too slow for SF PLUS his 3s arent going in. Why did we resign him again? lol

I guess Bamba is available.

P.S. while waiting for our game im watching Mobley right now... physical-wise he looks like a rookie JI but with WOW offense/passing and etc. "Might" not be as athletic as JI same age in but... you can see that opposing teams in the NBA will have to defend him even as a rookie.

Cade, Mobley and Suggs all entertaining early on.

This game has me really interested to see how the team responds to last nights beating.

The old school mentality of the team. They like those guys who don't ask for the ball, only take open shots and have a reputation as good defenders. In other words, they do very little.

Look what Maxey did for Philly tonight.

Half their roster is out due to Covid protocol so Maxey was playing 1 on 5 but he delivered.

Why can’t we give Cole the green light to go off a bit? Yes we still have Vuc out there but when AG and Evan and Ross at times are out ... why not let him be the scorer he is

It’s going to be ugly at times but you have to let him grow.

I love how they point out how many of Dallas' players are 2nd round or undrafted gems.... lowkey shade thrown IMO

Im all or those actually BUT since when is Clark a good defender? lol

Cole has a green light, he's just not making shots as well as Maxey did tonight.

He's not but that's his reputation. He won awards in college or something. Its like Aminu...he came here with reputation as a defender but did he look all that good? Not really. But thats the players Clifford and this organization like to play
