I've known for many years that Cuban and Powell are movie buddies and Cuban used his influence to keep him a Mav. Since he's the owner he can do what he wants I guess, but he's supposed to care about winning basketball games.

It seems like Maxi is just the new Powell just no reason to play him anymore he's made 11 points in his last 160 minutes, he isn't someone that can get out of the paint and guard the 3 like he used to. We have two real centers we don't need him there, and I agree about OMax being the backup PF but the only place to take minutes would be Maxi.

As much as I am disappointed with Maxi.
OMax has zero experience. He didn't even play when everyone was hurt.
Sorry but now is not the time to test him out. I don't why he never really got a chance but I believe he will not play any role this season

There u go PJ. Great drive against Wemby and now a 3 from the corner over him. Exactly what we need.

Luka chucking too many bad shots. Need to drive more, especially when Wemby isn't in there.

Luka ice cold but 8 assists already.

What a pass by Luka to Exum for the 3.

Luka needs to take this game seriously in the 2nd half. I don't trust SAS to just give the game away like that.

If he'd just be shooting a somewhat normal percentage this wouldn't be anywhere near close.

Such a sloppy start to the half, this is some of the worst bball I've ever seen. Also why wouldn't you challenge that charge on Gafford? Wemby was nowhere near set.

He's just trolling you can see it in his body language he wasn't trying that hard. He's taking dumb shots instead of attacking the rim. They had Wemby in PnR entire 1st half and it worked nicely, why stop that? This team is so bizzare from one game to another.

Mavs have to be the worst team in defending the corner 3 ...does anybody have the actual stats?

Captain_Obvious · Post #32 » by **Captain_Obvious** » Wed Mar 20, 2024 1:38 am

please take Luka out for the love of god

we can't win with him

Wemby only 10 points and we're losing.

These are the type of games when you need an actual coach,not just a watcher....if someone(anyone, doesn't matter who) doesn't take the opposing team serious,and we all know Mavs have a tendency to coast/sleapwalk against lesser teams, sub them out...I don't care if it's a starter,bench player or a superstar...you need to hold Players accountable for their Play/body language/attitude and not stroke their ego... you're supposed be a coach,not a fan

What a lazy effort on both ends, just sloppy.

Luka is 4 from 22... Horrible game.

Archx · Post #37 » by **Archx** » Wed Mar 20, 2024 1:57 am

Mavs were killing them in PnR action almost entire game but obviously in the 4th Q we already saw Maxi at 5 and it's just iso after iso after iso... What a joke of a coach.

Luckily PJ is doing a fantastic job on him.

Speaking of AJ Lawson as suggested by the broadcaster - why can't he see any PT in a game like this where a bit of hustle and shooting wouldn't hurt us

We gonna lose today.

Lol Luka… when you don’t have it make more passes. No shame in it. 4/23 has to be the worst shooting I’ve seen from him. Take 10 less shots, make 10 more passes and it’s an easy win.

I guess he should finish better than that.

But then he takes 3 shots in a row… what is he doing? Trying to prove that he can take 30 shots while shooting like crap?
