Why wasn’t Boban used when GS started getting to rim nonstop?

Because Dallas is racist towards European players.

Did you see what they did to Jokic when he was on D? It would be that, but much worse. Wow, its becoming more clear why you think SGA will be a superstar, competing with the likes of Giannis, Luka, Jokic, Embiid, Ja, Tatum, and Edwards for titles for years to come.

Boban is not the answer, but people telling OP Warriors would just use him in the P&R, I'm pretty sure he meant going zone also, Rick Carlsile already did it against the Clippers and was killed from the 3, so it's not that far fetched.

With the rumours mo bamba or whatever his name is wants out of Orlando he would be tailor made for the Mavs. Good to borderline elite shot blocker. That Or McGee would be another option

Boban is only 22 and is only a prospect. He's not ready for that

This isn't as absurd as some people may think- he wasn't a total liability against the Clippers last season and they were one of the best 3 point shooting teams ever in terms of percentage.

They will just stretch him out by going even smaller and breeze past him or force him to stay at the rim against a shooter and give up 3s.

So you want someone that's somehow even worse than Luka to be on the court.. and in some cases together on the court? Ok. :lol:

Warriors are probably the worst possible matchup for Boban out there. He has his qualities, but this definitely isn't a situation where he'd be likely to help.

I think if Looney is going off, your defense has greater problems than you want to admit because Looney is a very limited offensive player. If you need to try to create a “looney stopper” the long term prognosis for your defense is bleak.

Tell me why Powell is still playing then? Both giving up dunks and 3s.

Didn't convince me til the 3rd time. Put Boban in.

I actually think Powell is better than Maxi. He’s basically Looney if used right. Just goes to show how important a belief from a coach or superstar matters.

The Mavs abused the Warriors in screen roll with Luka and him in regular season because he’s such a good rim roller and lob catcher. He’s also a decently good rim defender and gives effort there. Also a much better rebounder and fights hard. Kleber is the sort of guy to throw in there to fire of threes same as Bertrans. It’s not sustainable to play them a whole game though when u gotta get some stops.

Also doesn’t help that Luka is a turnstile. Wiggins going at him like chopped liver.

Boban should probably leave NBA. He is huge and very skilled for his size, but just not quick enough for NBA game, or at least everythink thinks that.

The adjustment might actually be giving Chriss a real try. He's not as soft as Powell but he's just as athletic if not more so. Maxi struggles when he has to play more than about 24 minutes, and he's had to play too many minutes because of how useless Powell has been. Sure Chriss might disappoint, but what have they got to lose by trying it at this point

Because he sucks. He’s just in the NBA because he’s nice.
