Do we have a second left? Has Crowder anything left (I really don´t know.)? RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - Hypermav - 10-05-2022 If Powell is not interested in being traded, then it will not happen.

So, you aren't that far apart. Yeah, I got what he was saying. But as I noted ("You only have 5 minutes left over to do all of the following: (a) play some of the players above a few more minutes, (b) give minutes to any of Franky, Bertans, Hardy, Dorsey, Pinson, and (c ) play Powell") what tiny minutes are left over feels to me like it's feeding a LOT of mouths rather than all necessarily being used to please Powell, and I'm more inclined to expect we see Powell as one of those "be ready" guys (as RC used to call them) rather than a regular part of the rotation. We'll see. I don't expect he will be showcased for a possible trade, fwiw, since his potential value is in his expiring contract and not from someone desperate for his play. imo (10-05-2022, 07:19 AM)DanSchwartzgan Wrote: I'm also not sure Wood is getting 28 in the first 20 games. I think that's probably his season average assuming things go well, but maybe not to start. It also seems like, based on the televised practice, that Wood may not get the center minutes most envisioned. That means the potential for 48 center minutes being shared by McGee, Maxi and Powell...at least to start the season.. I think Wood is the backup C and will be slotted to take most of the minutes after McGee. I think Maxi will slide over to the 4, since he is more 3-and-D and a better defender (especially on the perimeter), and that Maxi will get minutes left at C, plus minutes at the 4 behind DFS. And there are so many mouths to feed already, that there's basically nothing left for Powell (until someone is sitting a game). Even if we see a minute or two less being given to one of these guys, there's others who are higher on the priority list, and not penciled in for enough. Something like this: C - MeGee (15), Wood (28 or less), Maxi (5 or more) PF - DFS (33 or less), Maxi (15 or more) RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - Chicagojk - 10-05-2022 https://twitter.com/bobbykaralla/status/1577687556682022918 RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - F Gump - 10-05-2022 (10-05-2022, 03:06 PM)Chicagojk Wrote: https://twitter.com/bobbykaralla/status/1577687556682022918 This may be indicative of who the Mavs see as "next man up" in the PG rotation (or, literally, their 3rd PG), with Ntilikina being given the start in Luka's absence. RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - Hypermav - 10-05-2022 I hope we see Josh Green demonstrate the hype.

Are you sure? SD is the PG, not Frank. Green is the Backup PG, Frank plays probably Wing in that lineup. Also Green was in the rotation last season, and has clearly more room of improvement. Don't see how Frank will have the edge over Green. RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - IamDougieFresh - 10-05-2022 The only thing I’m trying to take from this game is can we do anything when Spencer is on the bench. RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - cow - 10-05-2022 Mark Cuban drives a hard bargain so Dwight and I have settled on 4 years, 64 million. Bargain.

Two ways to answer that ... 1 Mavs stated approach is 2 PGs, Luka and SD - so whoever is "next man up" to one of them being out is who they see as their 3rd PG 2 Mavs lineup is G1 - Luka ... and Ntilikina is playing instead G2 - SD ...who is playing Wing 1 - DFS ...who is playing Wing 2 - RB ...who is playing Center - McGee ... and Wood is playing instead RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - speedkilz88 - 10-05-2022 Game can be found at mavs.com, https://www.mavs.com/livestream/ RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - DanSchwartzgan - 10-05-2022 Actual Starters: Powell DFS Bullock Green Dinwiddie RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - KillerLeft - 10-05-2022 (10-05-2022, 07:10 PM)DanSchwartzgan Wrote: Actual Starters: RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - KillerLeft - 10-05-2022 I like that Wood can bring the ball up after he cleans the glass. In the best case scenario of this experiment, he's the player the Mavs thought they were getting in Porzingis. My goodness is he behind the "chemistry curve" with this team, however. Probably to be expected this early, but I hope he's trying to learn fast. Lol, they are literally running the offense through Finney-Smith. I'm the president of his fan club and I know better than that.

My hopes for Wood are discount Amar'e. My fears are he is empty calories and just doesn't understand the team game. RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - dirkfansince1998 - 10-05-2022 Bigs aren´t getting any touches. 3rd string guards are chucking away. Expected as all of them are trying to earn minutes but maybe they could at least try to run some kind of offense every now and then.

Oh, man, that's not a comparison I would've ever thought of. I don't think he's going to be anywhere near as physically imposing as Stoudemire was, but I can already tell he's way more skilled. He has a variety of dribble moves that seem quite polished. Won't help unless what's between his ears is right, but we can hope!

Yeah, I was just about to say it seems like a disorganized pickup game. Not sure if that's normal for preseason or what. Haven't watched many games yet this year. RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - dirkfansince1998 - 10-05-2022 It´s preseason but so far Wood isn´t making his case for improved defense and effort. RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - KillerLeft - 10-05-2022 Not sure who #23 is, but I'm becoming a fan.

He definitely has more in the post than Porzingis, however. Have I mentioned lately how glad I am that he's gone? RE: PRESEASON GAME 1: DAL @ OKC | Oct 5, 7 pm - dirkfansince1998 - 10-05-2022 Can already tell that I won´t be a fan of Wood/non shooting big lineups. |
