RE: MAVS NEWS: 9th O | 24th D | 19th Net | 8th in West - Berknip - 02-16-2023
non related but fun nonetheless. I only missed the Mav's first candidate.
Dallas Mavericks MVP Votes - Can you name the Mavericks players who have received MVP votes?

Honestly this video makes me feel a lot better about this 3 game skid. The SAC and MIN games were very close, and even the Denver game got a little frisky near the end.
I love his point about using Luka and Kyrie screening and handing the ball off at the same time. Defenses will scramble to cover both, but both Luka and Kyrie can beat individual defense, so they'd have to commit to one side and by then it's bbq chicken.
Getting Luka downhill also seems to be the key. He's slower and needs to windup to explode like that. I think a good play would be to put Luka in the corner and have Kyrie come down and run a zipper fist screen play to get him downhill.

Something like this.
It also is a good trick play because it mimics Horns which is a pet action that Kidd likes to run. This gives Kyrie the ability to float from the corner up to the top of key after Luka catches it and attacks as well.

Would definitely have been three wins if Timmy had played!

Jay Vincent nearly made me lose. Literally guessed his name as a last ditch effort with 10 seconds left.
Great quiz

Zach Lowe has been saying the Luka and Kyrie pick and role with each other should be our key play when it matters. He said Kyrie has done this in the past (can't remember if it was with Lebron or KD).
Watching those highlights, two plays stuck out at me. One was against Sacramento late in the game. Luka was posting up and passed back out to Kyrie who then threw the ball back to Luka. Luka again made the defense collapse which led to a wide open three attempt by Kyrie. Mavs were up by 3. If that goes in, we are up 6 late in the game. It could have been the difference. There were other plays that impacted the final score too.
The second play was a beautiful touch pass to Bullock on the left wing by Kyrie. It was such a beautiful and simple pass that led to an open corner three.

Mavs lived off two man game with Dirk and Jet for years. Doing the same with KI and Luka should be an easy setup for the Mavs.

You'd think so, but that's what I thought when they traded for KP. Then, I thought so again this season with Wood. So far, nothing has really stuck.
...makes me think we should've appreciated that JET/Dirk two man game a lot more at the time, tbqh.
RE: MAVS NEWS: 9th O | 24th D | 19th Net | 8th in West - Chicagojk - 02-17-2023
Pretty cool,that Josh, Maxi and Dwight are legit friends. Pretty cool to go to Josh’s ceremony before the break. Jalen was also in this gang as well last year.

Of course JET was always underrated. If only he had left the tattoo alone.

JB spurned DFS a dinner invite on twitter after he was traded to BRK which I think is kinda rude.

Lol I remember watching that clip and he said in the very next sentence he doesn't f*** with anyone else on the roster though. Except Josh Green. He likes him.

In other news, Brad Townsend is whining that Luka took the night off.

Luka's gravity is just that immense.
