If they luck into a 3rd PG during training camp, that would go a long way towards assuaging my concerns for the upcoming season. I have hope that this guy will keep up the good work and they'll give him that last 2-way spot.

I know that's a low bar and that he probably wouldn't even be active most nights, but it really would make me feel a little better.

Christian Wood: “The first game I think I struggled to find my rhythm early on, but the guards got me looks, Coach Kidd ran a few plays for me in the post. The second game, I mean, Luka Dončić. He’s easy to play with… he’s going to find you every time.”


RE: MAVS NEWS: Vegas line: DAL 47.5 wins (7th in West) | preseason Oct 14 - Hypermav - 10-08-2022

Christian Wood (39 points, 15-25 FG in 44 minutes this preseason) on coming off Mavs bench: “I’m just embracing it. … I could do a whole bunch of different things and pout, and do all the extra stuff, but I’m just here to try to win games, and that’s what I care about the most.”

Luka 
Wood
DFS
Bullock
McGee

or 

Luka
Green
DFS
Bullock
McGee

or

Luka
Timmy
DFS
Bullock
McGee

I like Wood with Luka best.  Still have a second playmaker and defenses will not know what to do with those two, plus the 3 defensive minded players.

RE: SD with the Second Unit

This always seemed like an inevitability. You get the most out of SD by having him get all the minutes that Luka rests.


RE: MAVS NEWS: Vegas line: DAL 47.5 wins (7th in West) | preseason Oct 14 - Mavs03 - 10-08-2022

I personally would like Wood to start.  With the news that Dinwiddie is coming off the bench, I think having Dinwiddie, THJ and Wood on the 2nd unit is a bit much.  It allows Luka and Wood to develop chemistry from the jump.

Starters:

Luka
Bullock
DFS
Wood
McGee

Bench:

Dinwiddie
THJ
Green
Kleber
Powell

I think our roster is better than last year.  We've got tremendous size on the frontcourt.  I don't expect us to be outrebounded by our opponent.


RE: MAVS NEWS: Vegas line: DAL 47.5 wins (7th in West) | preseason Oct 14 - Hypermav - 10-08-2022

This is a plot by Darth Powell to move from third team to second.  It actually does make sense though.

Or, Luka, Hardy, Bullock, DFS, McGee
Or, Luka, Bullock, DFS, Maxi, McGee

Funny thing is Hardy could possibly start or we might not see him for a month depending on how this plays out.  What we do to start the season won't necessarily be what we do to finish it.  

The issue with Green is you have all of your defensive wings on the court at the same time.  Can he create enough to warrant that?

The issue with THJ starting is D with him and Luka together has not been good historically.  He's not a creator either.

I don't have an issue with Wood starting next to McGee, but wonder if he'd be more impactful getting his minutes with Maxi instead of McGee.

Hardy is VERY Green.  He has some ability to create, but he can also shoot you out of a game

And you don't want to overuse Maxi.  The starting D would be fantastic, but you are really counting on the 3's to fall.

Is anyone really third team yet if we haven't played a single regular season minute?


RE: MAVS NEWS: Vegas line: DAL 47.5 wins (7th in West) | preseason Oct 14 - Hypermav - 10-08-2022

He is third team if I could make the decisions.  Officially, idk/no.

I agree with this but the problem is we get the most out of Luka when Dinwiddie is with him playing the second role. This is why everyone has been screaming for a third ball handler because then you can still let Dinwiddie run the second unit AND he would have someone else out there as a secondary playmaker with him the way he is for Luka with the starters AND Luka would have a release valve when he’s getting doubled.

That second unit will be really good if THJ doesn't take all the shots.
