I had like 5 heart attacks during this game. But +/- difference between Luka and a guy who is suppose to be his 2nd playmaker in Dinwiddie is alarming. Each game Dinwiddie falls way behind.

And i want to see more Green in the future when he plays good like today. Kidd's rotations are still very suspect.

Welcome back THJ!

Good win but still too much Luka ball to me. Dinwiddie needs to be better and more aggressive. His lack of consistency is very frustrating.

Props to Green, Maxi and THJ for playing well. They were huge in this game.

Kidd is going to kill his legs with that USG%.

This kind of Luka usage is not sustainable for 82 games. He's having to play out there like it's game 7 of a playoff series in 3 of the 4 games so far.

Also Kidd basically playing an 8 man rotation these 4 games really shows how little he thinks of the bench.

Move Wood and Green to the starting lineup for Spencer and McGee, I don't see the point of Spencer next to Luka, Wood can take some iso burden and Green ball handling, Green is also better equipped to handle quick guards.
Wood needs to learn the defensive scheme better, he had some aweful rotation and was lost in space multiple times.

I wouldn't mind seeing this.

Green could have peeled some minutes of Bullock & DFS today

Is there anyone that has been happy with McGee's performances so far? I think he started pretty well in the 1st few minutes and then he completely erased that with several bone-headed mistakes. Still hilarious that this was the 1st guy called during the start of free agency.

Nice win.

It looks that Luka's and Kidd's goal is 35 points triple double for the season. 8-)

Josh's shot looked really good yesterday. McGee disaster again and I have a feeling that Dinwiddie doesn't like Wood particularly, he just ignores him constantly. It's still comedy, when some players want to create something or put the ball on the floor.

Actually Wood should be particularly useful aginst those team that goes small, but he still needs time to work himself into DAL's defense rotation.

Monster game by Luka. OMG what a beast.

I still don't like Kidd rotation but he needs time.

McGee is just awful, not bad like Powell obviously but little less.
Finally Josh. His shoot seems smooth and his hustle is here... On the other way Bullock and DFS can't hit nothing like every start of the season.
We missed THJ a lot last season, very streaky shooter and microwave from the bench.
Not a good game by Wood but he can be productive anyway. Supreme offensive talent.
Spencer is just Spencer,some great plays and some dumb possessions.
Kleber spent 1 of his 10 game of the year :lol:

I think Hayward could be a very huge upgrade for this roster... If he can be healthy of course.

McGee isn’t awful just isn’t used properly. He needs to come off the bench instead of being a full time starter. He gets exhausted after playing 20+ min and needs to play 15 min off the bench. Then you will see his PER off the charts similar to Boban.

Just like Boban he is decent against other teams bench players.... But our super smart FO promised him the starting role. So we are done :lol:

I understood the potential value of McGee if he was your plan B. I just will never understand why they went all-in and acted like he was the saviour by targeting him, giving him more years than everyone else, more money than everyone else and giving him the starting job. It's Javale McGee... Slow down.

The Suns replaced him with Jock Landale for nothing and they seem to be happy about it.

What happens to DFS? Shooting slump?

Agreed but plan B is being nice. Plan D at best for me. He's a 10 mpg guy off the bench, that's all. Guys like that was and still is available for much cheaper.

Yes just like most years, he tends to start the year slow. He really brought it on defense today though. Couldn't stop KD but he certainly tried.

Not really. But he earned a lot of respect in lasr po so he is guarded much tighter now and dont get as good looks. Like bertans, almost no shots are uncontested.

About mcgee, he actually started good last night
