Okay Hardy let's go party!

Well see how he pans out but I think he's gonna be a natural bucket getter.

10pts in 2 mins but still somehow ended with -2 lol. But i know that's irrelevant since it's garbage time, still, great scoring.

Was he? Lol

I just look at his confidence, his handles, and ability to score in those few min.

Wild, my stream died during the last 2 mins and I only saw his first bucket.

Josh Green is starting to look like he can contribute enough on offense to get on the court.

[Forbes]

Josh Green looks to be developing nicely. Second half of the season should be good for him. The fact that he can dribble will be a big help.

I totally missed Jaden Hardy can’t wait to see his highlights

[Archx]

Man there are some wild statistics on Mavs team...

Bullock 25 mins 0 pts but i guess we can give some credit to his defense tonight, then you have THJ with great shooting and 17 pts but only 23 mins.

Hardy 2 mins and 10 pts...

Dinwiddie was blocked 4 times at the rim tonight lol. (by my count)

Green +23 and Luka +20, by far the 2 highest +/- players of the game. Out of all starters, THJ with +9. This duo simply works and they are really clicking together.
And Doncic continues with a great defensive season, ended with 2 blocks, vs NYK he had 3. He's really good if he cares.

Mavs shot 48.8% from 3 and 84.6% from FT line, you don't see this that often.

Great game. Both hardy and frank looked good. Did frank slim down? He looks so much quicker.

[41Dirk41]

Basketball sometimes is a simply game, with decent rotations and you can win

Josh is incredible. OMG.

[41Dirk41]

Wood and Green can shoot,dribble, pass and rebound. What an upgrade over our old guys in blue.

Dinwiddie and THJ are awfuls at the rim.

Hardy with 180points based on 36mpg.
Better than Kareem

I'm just here for the Josh Green Breakout season. Starting to muscle his way to the basket... If he expands his game further, could he actually create? He is now 22 and Jimmy Butler broke out at 25. I wonder on a team without a heliocentric offense, could he become Jimmy? He would have to change his mindset on offense.

Green, if he plays like he did in last games, is the best possible fit with Luka. If they can develop Hardy as a starting 2, there might be some hope for the next season. In that case Mavs basically need to trade Powell, Wood and Mcgee for a good C and a wing. Not the easiest thing to do, but not impossible.

This level of Green reduces drastically the need for both Luka and Spencer on the floor, yesterday, none of them broke the 30 minutes mark.

Callie Caplan: Suns coach Monty Williams called Luka Doncic the NBA’s best player in the paint: “It causes a lot of late-night film sessions, and early morning discussions with the staff to figure out what nobody has been able to figure out.”

Callie Caplan: Jason Kidd says rookie Jaden Hardy “deserves” more playing time with Mavs: “There’s a balancing act here of now and the future. … Nothing against Rick [Carlisle] or Josh [Green], but you want them to have minutes their rookie year. We have to find him minutes, and we will.”

Because the game was over in 3rd.

Yeah, in blow outs Luka playing 29 minutes and in close games 36, this brings his average down to 32 MPG which is sustainable, and Dinwiddie didn't share the floor with Luka except for 7-8 minutes.
Also, with Green on the floor, you have fastbreak option, you don't switch every screen, and he can take some ball handling duty, if you noticed, yesterday also there were many early clock shots, especially for THJ, which reduces the load.
Dinwiddie and Wood were bad yesterday, Dinwiddie hit his 3s, but couldn't buy a layup to save his life, Wood was lost even more than usual on defense, and was sloppy on offense.

The problem with Luka's minutes is that he has played few games without a break in second half. No need for doing that in RS.

Green is a perfect fit with Luka, I would for sure start him and play as many minutes possible together with Luka. Dinwiddie should come from the bench.

And after that he gave him 2 minutes in blowout win.

I don't understand what Kidd is implying, RC has given Josh a lot more minutes in the start of his rookie year than Kidd has given to Hardy.
