Take away Luka and Porzingis off this Maverick’s team and they have the weakest roster in the entire NBA

Who's the rim protection?
I mean, KP and Maxi are the only ones who can realistically contest a shot and they can't both play 48 minutes. Boban is way too slow to play against this young team and the Mavs keep going under the screens and end up switching onto the Pelicans bigs.

If putting PGs on Luka working out all that well, then, the Mavs is NOT going to have any favorable matchup. NOP is controlling the pace. Putting a PG on Luka and crowd the paint. Yes, open 3 is available. But the Mavs does not have the right player to clean it up.

*Mavs down double-digits*
Rick Carlisle: "Time for a three guard lineup!"

Mavs not using Luka at all. Also oversitting him on bench.

KP basically keeping us in this game single-handedly.

I don't have statistical evidence of this but it just feels like DFS is our worst player.

I can't believe people wanted to keep dfs, he's good at nothing

Zinger turns things around on both end. Great addition this summer.

Amazing - we play a good lineup and start playing decent ball... what a surprise.

I would do the Porzingis trade 1000x again if I could <3

Dudes gonna be amazing if he can stay healthy

They're having a hard time guarding that KP and Luka pnr. Also Delon has been great.

gotta give credit to the team morale to fight back

Powell can't come back soon enough

Well, take a close look how much attention Doncic demands from defense. He can free up a ton of space specially for KP. But yeah KP hitting his shots is a huge plus obviously.

Far and away.

Might be more unplayable than Boban at the moment

Surely Bobi can stick with Jahill **** Okafor for 10min of the game...

I love Wright

dirkforpres · Post #60 » by **dirkforpres** » Sat Oct 26, 2019 1:14 am

Delon Brunson and Doncic need to be our starting 1-3... they have great chemistry

Who will win this game?
