RE: AROUND the NBA: Kawhi signs 3/152 extension| PG in talks to extend - RoyTarpleysGhost - 01-15-2024 Didn’t realize Draymond was back playing today. RE: AROUND the NBA: Kawhi signs 3/152 extension| PG in talks to extend - dirkfansince1998 - 01-15-2024 Has someone told the Grizzlies players that they are tanking. That team is all hustle and energy. 11 off rebounds, 13 steals, 10 blocks. Beating the Warriors with a borderline g-league rotation. RE: AROUND the NBA: Kawhi signs 3/152 extension| PG in talks to extend - dirkfansince1998 - 01-15-2024 Love my some Lively but If it wasn't for the positional need Cason Wallace would have been just as good or even better. Hilarious to watch LBJs reaction when he cannot back down a 6'3 guard.

Lauri plus Sexton (both score 30 tonight) plus three firsts and two swaps.

Happy with Lively though, proved me wrong ss I didn't want him tbh.

Carlisle says Markkanen is the closest player to resemble Dirk Nowitski that he's seen.

RE: AROUND the NBA: Draymond Returns| Lillard Buzzer Beater - Chicagojk - 01-16-2024 Might be a bad stretch but Dinwiddie is not playing well in Brooklyn. Has been losing minutes to Dennis Jr smith too. Most nets fans are not crazy about him either. Last 3 game he has scored 2, 3 and 5.

Lauri is Dirk pre-2007, or at least the Dirk version who still doesn't have a post up game.

I wouldn't read too much into this. While LM is obviously playing well, Carlisle has a long record of heaping over-the-top praise (often transparently absurd) on opposing coaches and players as his team plays them. We saw this when he coached in Dallas too, and would react to it and sometimes be bothered by the content, but it's just his way of selling the game and the league. RE: AROUND the NBA: Draymond Returns| Lillard Buzzer Beater - SleepingHero - 01-16-2024 Hopefully the Suns do the Mavs a solid here and beat the Kings RE: AROUND the NBA: Draymond Returns| Lillard Buzzer Beater - dirkfansince1998 - 01-16-2024 Embiid really is a 7ft James Harden. Marginal contact and he throws himself to the floor. He isn't even getting his calls on drives or in the paint. Face up. Swing through or lean into the defender to create contact. Really appreciate Kyrie for his style of play. One of the few (maybe the only) star player that doesn't flop and always tries to score instead of trying to create contact. Almost to a fault. Probably would be a more efficient scorer if he would absorb some contact instead of doings his usual acrobatics around the rim. RE: AROUND the NBA: Draymond Returns| Lillard Buzzer Beater - Chicagojk - 01-17-2024 Suns came back from 22 in the fourth to beat the Kings last night. So for a day, Mavs are currently in 5th place. Their first round matchup would be against the Clippers. Yuck. RE: AROUND the NBA: Draymond Returns| Lillard Buzzer Beater - KillerLeft - 01-17-2024 This is the problem with what Dallas is doing, and with what the folks here WANT Dallas to do: https://x.com/johnhollinger/status/1747629282417930428?s=20 Quote:"and then once they put Durant at the 5 it was an avalanche." THAT is what the playoffs will be like. I LOOOOOVE Lively, but he can't hang with guys like Durant, Kawhi, LeBron, etc. Basically all the good teams (except for Minnesota, who doesn't worry me in the least) have a way to play with super skill and foot speed at every position. That's why the Mavs are TRYING to get a lineup with Williams at the 5 to work, and while it hasn't looked good yet, I wish people here were more supportive and open-minded about it, because it's ABSOLUTELY the right type of thought. THAT'S why they need a "guy who's at least 6'8" that can dribble"...so he can play CENTER in the playoffs. And no, WCJ isn't the answer. RE: AROUND the NBA: Draymond Returns| Lillard Buzzer Beater - Winter - 01-17-2024 Why isn't a healthy WCJ the answer? Just curious.

He's basically a traditional 5 now. Good player, but at the end of the day he's likely to have some of the same limitations Lively has, but with a different (less important for Mavs, I'd argue) set of strengths. I think he'd be a fine get as a backup center, but I think it would be overkill, given Mavs' needs and assets, and I don't really buy this idea of him playing WITH Lively. I think the upside of adding WCJ is injury insurance on Lively and a slightly increased chance that you can get away with playing one of them in the playoffs. All good stuff, but I don't think it accomplishes what the Mavs seem to want to accomplish, given the quotes and the obvious. RE: AROUND the NBA: Draymond Returns| Lillard Buzzer Beater - Winter - 01-17-2024 I dunno. I'm pretty intrigued with these videos. Wendell Carter jr Offensive Highlights - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fheoA938M9M Defensive Highlights - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGwT0kVOorQ I think he's a good fit. I just think his health has been an issue. RE: AROUND the NBA: Draymond Returns| Lillard Buzzer Beater - KillerLeft - 01-17-2024 (01-17-2024, 10:22 AM)Winter Wrote: I dunno. I'm pretty intrigued with these videos. Well, we don't have to agree. Diverse viewpoints make for a better board, that's for sure. I don't see the fit, myself.

My main objection to Grant playing center is we are doing him no favors pairing him with no height. That is a no win situation imo. When we signed Grant, I thought he would be able to play some backup center minutes. He defends the bigger bulky guys alright. His perimeter defense has been disappointing though. How Grant is moving on the perimeter now, KD would just torch him anyway. He is not playing well regardless, but if we could pair him with a 6'9 guy who can stretch the floor, block some shots and rebound, Grant at center for moments is not terrible. I just not sure we have that player currently. RE: AROUND the NBA: Draymond Returns| Lillard Buzzer Beater - KillerLeft - 01-17-2024 (01-17-2024, 10:29 AM)Chicagojk Wrote: That is fine.

I will agree that the path to ANY worthwhile role for Grant Williams starts with him getting into better shape and simply playing better. |
