How have the Mavs been SO MUCH better in the 2nd Half of games this season?
Mavs don't need a Center as a top priority but I think they still need a big, Mavs are a bit undersized except for Lively. With Kleber injured, they got pretty thin and much less versatile when going against big teams like Denver.
Maybe just maybe the biggest key is we stopped starting Dwight Powell
More of this guy
We need some size our size got exposed against Nuggets.
Even though Kleber didn’t play
I keep thinking at some point they're going to get more out of Exum. I'm not expecting anything too major, but I think he'll eventually be recognized as a good role player for the Mavs.
Developing team chemistry, lukas minutes being different and we've had no chance to get a home rhythm so far switching between home and away games
HOW BOUT THEM MAVS 🤠🎊
You need 20 games because we've had a oretty friendly schedule thus far
4th quarter Kyrie is DIFFERENT
Being here for more than 2 years, it’s just me or Jake is too negative? Almost not props given to the team
Derrick Jones Jr is out playing Thybulle this season at a fraction of the cost
I think Brian Dameris said it was Tim and Markeiff Morris who got on to the team at halftime which led to them being better against the Magic
Anything
Let’s go, Mavs!
22:40 Thats one reason why the "eye test" is misleading.
Green on the court: ORtg 128.4 – DRtg 115.3 – NetRtg +13.1
Green off the court: ORtg 111.9 – DRtg 113.4 – NetRtg -1.4
Thats the best NetRtg on the team. And his pure +/- tells the same story. He is a +46 so far in our 7 games (thats +6.5 in 27 minutes per game). He might be doing to much on defense, and a bit more poise would clearly help. But the team is significantly better with him on the floor, then they are with DJJ who is "only" a +12 in those 7 games (+1.7 in 20 minutes per game). Like a wise man allways said… I dont care who starts the game, I care about who finishes them!
Noel?
Anything below
trade Holmes for Dorian, at least he could play
Hi Isaac, is it possible that Dorian Finney-Smith will be dealt back to Dallas before this February Trade Deadline.
Whats the update on OMax Propser ?
