Should have been a blowout. Green played 17 mins. I guess that's an improvement from his usual 15 :lol:

Luka's volume and FG% from 2pt range is unbelievable

Thank God the Mavs that one. The Dinwiddie lineups have ass but since last game have been steadily improving.

Also McGee has been a bust.

Yeah, I prefer Powell over McGee

Mavs were saved by THJ in last Q.

We all knew the McGee signing was nonsensical. And Josh Green continues to be an abject disappointment. Dude just sucks

Thank you, I've been waiting for someone else to say this. McGee literally looks like a walking 7 foot zombie out there. I don't want to hear anymore "McGee is 100% better then Powell" comments. This iteration of McGee is a joke out there.

He's beyond aweful, I had no idea why they squandered their TPMLE on him (and became deeper into tax and harder to S&T), and I still don't have any idea.

I wonder whats going on in trainings atm. Like we have long periods in last 2 games when nothing works, dinwiddie gets nothing going but still guys like dorsey doesnt get the chance to shake things up. I mean, the minutes he gotten were good. It atm feels like every decision is taken before the game, like every min planned out and its impossible to deviate from the plan

Because someone in the FO thought McGee is a proper rim protector, which this team needed, after horrible Powell performance against the GSW. :banghead:

Could have seen how Doncic hunted him in PHX series and that he more or less sucks. But i also thought that anyone would be better than Powell, now he's actually playing with way more heart and energy than McGee.

Don't think we've watched the same games when it comes to Green. We'd all like him further along offensively, but he's definitely earned his min and maybe more.

Powell had a great RS (for what I expected), problem was in PO, McGee isn't useful even in RS.
Whiteside was better for Utah than McGee for PHX, I have no idea why yhey had to go out of their way to sign him.

Who was with him in LA?

Kidd is collecting his friends like chocolates.

The offense is still effecient, but boy does it look ugly, I suspect it's still effecient only because of Luka.

Luka is the only reason why the offense is efficient numbers wise (because visually its ugly). He's also the reason why our defense is not good. These 2 are interconnected. If Luka had more help and didn't have to expend 100000% energy on offense, then he'd actually have some energy on defense and our defense wouldn't have to scramble to protect him every possession.

Imagine if we have Wood instead of Powell at that time. Loovey will never get 20 rebounds against us.

A healthy rubio is my dream atm

I was thinking that we are 1 piece away of contending... Guys we need to blow up this ****. There is something wrong with this roster.

I don't see Luka playing here long time.

Rubio is my dream since Luka came in Nba. Unfortunately Mavs were never interested.

We always hear how nobody doesn't want to come in Mavs. Rubio and Markkanen for sure would come, but Mavs weren't 'interested. You can't give longterm contracts to players like Powell and have Kleber untouchable, if you want to improve your roster.
