What's 1 thing that stood out in the Mavs vs Blazers game?
It was a reckless stupid play that was absolutely Dwights fault you dolts.
It's all fun and games til the mavs go on 3-4 game losing streaks. We will revisit this real soon. SMH at Powell
Jesus christ Dwight Powell what an utter mong
"Slightly" is his first name? Like "slightly and the family stone"? 😉
Dwight play is an unfortunate play, not his fault, not blaming him at all
But is still a sign, bad things will happen if he plays this prominent role of back up C
He should be this year Theo, nothing more
Don't let Dwight play with Kyrie at the same time again lol. He can play when Kyrie is not on the floor.
Dwight shouldn’t have went for the rebound. Just to try to volleyball tap the ball.
No way, having size + skills in a player and not just a stationnary shooter is actually helping the team. Who knew. Exum taking up the Brunson role, steady and attacking the basket, showing Green how useless he is. It's great we can rely on someone when Luka isn't playing like a superhuman. Several skilled reliable players, that's what real teams are made off. I kept saying people underestimate Exum because he was "banished overseas" and they have no idea what the required level of playmking is in euroleague to be trusted with the offense of one of the best team. Those guy don't have crazy athleticism so the only way to create advantage is with crazy complex plays, all game long. Maybe Green and Hardy should go and learn something there.
Dwight is so uncoordinated it's negative skills, he shouldn't be on a basketball court, to the point we praise him when he is actually useful. What a low bar.
And we're back to 40+ min Luka for a win over a bad team.
powell is a disastrous sucks player in the mavs team he should be fired now asap..trash player😂
powell is. trash player for the mavs
waived powell sucks dwight🤣🤣🤣
I like slightly but his talking trash. Powell was in no position to get that rebound and a foul call was already called. This guy is known for his clumsiness so why is slightly being apologetic.that was an erratic and dangerous play.
Btw it’s Powell fault!!!
Dwight was going for the ball, nothing to do with injury to Irving. Unfortunate but just simply part of sports. Great game from Exum & Liv & Luka & THJ (3 charges & tough made 3's). Jones & Curry solid. Portland played unbelievable D on Luka, mostly doubled him all night.with not good but great defenders. Caused alot of turnovers but When we needed Luka, his late game steal & made free throws & assist sealed game. Hope Irving is OK. Not pretty but a great W.
The wild part is I think we’ll be ok without kyrie. I think as long as we have ball handler who can score when needed along side luka we’ll be fine. I think we may be better, because we won’t be relying on exams scoring , but now Luka also has a defensive mate on the floor with him. Like Nish last year, I think this injury will be the welcome party for exum
dwight powell finding new ways to be terrible for us. YOU LOVE TO SEE IT
Like others said, he went for a swat while a teammate was going down. Zero situational awareness. There was no real need for the FO to re-sign him. So I, for one, blame the FO and not Powell. He was just being himself (clumsy AF, that is). Hopefully Kyrie is ok.
..but Powell shouldn't even have been in the game! I thought Holmes won that backup Center position? You saw Morris instantly contribute, hitting a 3, rebounding, changing shots at the rim etc … WTF is Powell jumping (late) when he knows he ain't getting a rebound, ain't blocking no shots… Smh
THJ leading the league in drawing charges makes him a great defender, sorry. Not sorry. That is like a steal, or blocked shots, only better because you add the foul. I have not seen THJr "lost" on defense, really ever.
I swear Powell has hurt some one else like this. Freaking hate that dude
i can’t believe dp is even the point of conversation… it’s not as if he intentionally fell on kyrie’s leg. if anything he should be praised for bringing 100% effort every minute he’s on the court
Bench players stepped up, Dante Exum is a solid role player who can bring some sparks on the offensive side of the ball as well.
DP = Fake Energy plays! Even 19yo DLively volleyball slaps rebounds better than him. 😁
Powell needs to be In the g league, that way he's still in the Mavs organization, but has nothing to do with the actual Mavs. That way everyone gets what they want.
if u can have biased on ur show u should have we talk mavs on. much better in their post game takes. not to be biased..
Another shi**y trade by the geniuses in Dallas. Was it worth it to trade a nice point guard (Dinwiddie), a defensive leader (Doe) and a future pick for a broken down old man? Still trying to figure out what the plan is with this team. Luka is still a kid…..why do they insist on putting him next to an old man that’s going to be a shell of his former self by the time Dallas is ready to contend for a title? Kyrie has missed 100’s of games. Why did we think it would be any different here? I guess we can go get Spencer back in the off-season, trade Hardy to the Nets for our pick back and try to find someone who will lead the 2nd team when Luka is out. Because Kyrie is going to be “out” a lot.
This is the most predictable outcome in the NBA. Kyrie on the bench in street clothes. I’m wondering if Lebron still wants him or even he is done with Irving.
It’s not just a freak play…DP had no business barging into the paint like that…he’s never in position to grab a rebound is the problem, so he has to try to run in last minute to tip the ball away & he’s reckless about it…stop standing up for DP…he sucks end of story
I love being a Mavs fan. This storyline this year feels like I'm watching a telenovela
Dwight ruined this franchise by simply existing in this team
That was 1000% Dwights fault he had no reason to jump over two players even if Kyrie wasn’t laying down there what was he gonna do swap the ball to the other team this guy gots to go
Only roll Lost Green has on this team is being the massager for Kai’s feet and ankles.
for as much as SB seems to authentically not gaf, he sure does care a lot about who "screams at him."
i feel like we’re not talking enough about omax’s defense
Cant you get a different second guy. Slightly is the worst.
Luka doesn’t play defense all game. No matter it’s because of opponents’ shooting percentage or what, you just can’t let an NBA player have wide open all game. On the other end, he got addicted to play one on one and not connect the team. What’s worse is that he didn’t have an efficient night. We are lucky to take the win, but this just can’t happen in the following games. Last, as always, please don’t play Powell anymore.
Is it Dwight Powell's fault? Of course it is. It's not like he was pushed.
And I know it's cool to talk trash about Christian Wood (that he wouldn't go for it the first place)…well here's a tough fact for you:
Christian Wood got 6 ACTUAL rebounds in 8 minutes in his last game so I think he's doing okay. For all his faults, Wood didnt injure his teammates and he was also capable of collecting a rebound with his hands – none of this soft volleyball trash that Powell tries to do. Not only is it ineffective, it's also reckless.
We all know dwight wont even try to grab the rebound. Hes just going to slap it lets be honest 😂
