All in all, Dragic is still valuable in a backup role, Frank never was and probably never will be.


Whats the point of that post? Dragic didnt sign with mavs because he didnt want backup minutes. So, you should be bashing dragic for not wanting to play backup minutes instead of dragging mavs into it, or frank for that matter.


He wanted backup minutes. He didn't want to be a cheerleader like Pinson.


Is Luka cleared for WC qualifiers Thursday?

He's, but it's Estonia, so who knows how much will he play.

Have fun with Dorsey, guys. Dude is decent but never knew he had such awful tunnel vision.

We need a player like him from the bench. Instant offense.

Yeah, if he plays like the second half against Serbia, he'll be converted to regular contract before ASB.

BTW, that game was almost PO NBA level, if Micic doesn't go down and Greece had a normal PG, it would've been absolute highest level of basketball, can't wait for Eurobasket, Lucic also was absolute sniper.

Davis Bertans had his shooting locked in on Thursday. Porzingis was drawing plenty of defensive attention, which left the Mavericks forward free to fire. He had 17 points on six of eight shooting from the field, including drilling five 3-pointers. Bertans also had three assists, two rebounds, and one steal in 18.3 minutes in the win over Turkey.

Sucks they won't be in Eurobasket, they are legit with KP and Bertans.

It's hard to gauge. Serbia's perimeter/guards were having their way with Greece's and were playing very physical. No, it wasn't a fixed match as some have complained but Serbia was getting home-court advantage. Dorsey looked out of sorts in pick-and-rolls and struggled to finish near the rim or make the correct reads (or any). He failed to find Gianni on multiple occasions on the roll for what probably would've been scores.

Dorsey is a good shooter and solid athlete at the SG position, though.

Think of shorter, and less athletic THJ but better handle.

Doncic looks physically worse with every game he plays. Is it just me or he actually gained weight in the last couple of weeks? He looks chubby.

He didn't. He wasn't main Slovenian problem either today. Slovenia had 19 rebounds/15 offensive less in halftime. Slovenia is for some reason too confident, even cocky. I hope this is wake-up call at right time.

Yup, and then there's constant complaining over referees, tiring as hell. The Germans just outhustled Slovenians plain and simple. Also, FT% was unacceptable. Stop moaning and start playing hard. Hopefully this is a wake up call
