Luka was pressing. Trying to impress Lebron.

Wow, Beverly just knocked DSJs tooth out with an elbow. What a bitch.

Don’t matter, still iced dem FTs. Win.

Stats won't show it but what a ballsy effort by DSJ. Came up huge at the end on both ends of the floor. 

Yeah this could be a turning point for DSJ. Even if his offensive game isn’t doing well he can impact the game in a lot of ways.

And that’s a good win tonight. Not Luka, and lesser known, no Kleber(their best defensive big).

Granted it is not the same minutes as some players and it's early, but right now I believe Kleber is 5th in Defensive Rating and 3rd in Net Rating in the entire NBA.  Not bad.

Our bench bigs are good.  Powell and Kleber can both be rotation players on winning teams.  Powell might have more upside than a rotation player.  It will be interesting to see what happens to their minutes when Dirk starts playing.

He's definitely a valuable asset for the future as he can be so good in that second unit as well. Doncic and him fit together nicely.

Win last night was great. Thought we might blow it when the Clippers made their run, but it was pretty good defense to end the game. 

The hell does ben (or skin?) bring to the broadcast? Can't figure out his role

Y’all crazy. Skin is terrific. Also terrific, the Mavs bench.

Agree. I enjoy both.

Probably the Mavs bench more. Man that 9-10 minute stretch that started in the late first and ended midway through the 2nd quarter was crazy. An entire bench just kept pouring it on a team higher than us in the standings. Just crazy.

Really enjoying watching Luka and DSJ. Sometimes Luka is looking for too much and makes a ill advised pass. But it’s been fun.

BTW these refs are trash. This game would be a blowout if not for no calls for the mavs and calling a few BS ones on them.

Refs were garbage but we still whooping that ass 6766043fdbd9b9916b42dfefa506cbfa.jpg

Ballgame bitches

We’re pretty good.  We’re actually very good defensively.  Carlisle is one of the best coaches in the league.  We have depth.  The West is a mess right now.  The Big German will be back soon.  Doncic will only get better.  Show me a loss!

At this point in the season, everyone in the starting lineup is solid and fits a role really well.  And the bench might be the best in the league.

Currently 7th in the west, and nobody really looks great in the conference.

Dennis has been a lot better the last couple weeks too.  

The bench are killers

If we can get through the next 2 games (@NO, Hou) with at least a split, we have a nice little 3 game stretch against shit teams (Orl,  Atl, @Phx) that should allow us to get comfortably above .500.

I'm really trying to temper my expectations, but this team is sure fun to watch.  The West is absolutely ridiculous.  Eight teams are within 2 games of each other in places 7-14.  A lot of really good teams are going to miss the playoffs this year.

Off course Avery forced the sports psychologist out during his years when we were our own worst enemy (besides the refs with Wade)

I have zero expectations. I'm just having fun watching. This team is still very young and will keep growing. And with that comes growing pains. I'm not worried about playoffs or seeding. Way too early for that.

I'm just glad we finally have a foundation we can build with for the future. Have not had that since the Finals victory.

Really happy with Doncic so far. We have been fortunate to have Dirk for his entire career, now he can pass the torch with confidence imo.

Bill Simmons Podcast with Mark Stein is Doncic and Mavs centric.  At least the first half or so.

A couple of notes.

Stein asked at WC exec what Luka's best case scenario is?....................6'8 Steve Nash.

Obligatory, Simmons trade machine for Mavs.  Wes' to Knicks for Hardaway and Frank Nkitilina.  Knicks want room for KD this summer.   Hardaway is an upgrade on Wes and expires 2020 and get FN.

Also, per Stein, Donnie is looking for a deal for Wes.  They want to strike now. 

 

Check it out.

Wes hasn't been nearly as bad as everyone seems to think. In fact, look at the numbers. He's arguably been more valuable than TMJ has been. Plus TMJ is a high usage player, who do you want giving up the ball in this offense right now? And TMJ is owned 18mm/year for 3 years past this year. Throwing Frankie Smokes in, makes it enticing, but I'm not sure I do that. 

 

edit: Plus, I think Wes is still probably a better defender.

Wes' shooting numbers are getting back to where they were in Portland.  I'm pretty pleased with every player in the rotation right now.

Lol Knicks fans wouldnt know what to say if they lost Frank in that trade too. They love to talk shit about Dennis and puff up FN.

Love that. Always kinda liked Frank heading into that Draft, and if we get him and still have DSJ to continue this young core, and I'll be pretty happy about it.

 

And yeah, Hardaway for Mathews is probably a wash, but I'm not steaming to trade Wes right now like I was last year.  He's been a good player so far.

I looked up Frank and his numbers haven't been good.

More than anything I'm glad Donnie is looking.  He knows what NBA players look like.

I wonder what you could get Josh Jackson for?

Anthony Davis is good at basketball.

You're not trading for Frank for his offense, you get him for his Defense, and pair him with Doncic.  You know that's still developing, and maybe he can turn into at least a Rondo at some point and get a little better offensively, but defensively he's already a stud.

Not opposed to Josh Jackson either.  Maybe figure out a way to get someone else's lotto pick that's not working out.
