Game 6: DAL (2-3) @ DET (3-2) | 9 PM CT

[Mavs03]

With idiot Kidd starting Flagg at PG, look for Dallas to have to climb from an early deficit. Then magically, Dallas starts to play well on the offensive end when Russell or Williams comes into the game. We've only seen it in 5 games. Let's continue the trend of not starting a PG but instead have the 18 year old rookie continue to learn on the fly.

I'm positive now that Dallas doesn't have an analytical department

Mavs starters:

Cooper Flagg
Max Christie
Klay Thompson
P.J. Washington
Daniel Gafford

Good lord.

[KillerLeft]

Wow, Followil gets to work with Grant Hill tonight!!

[KillerLeft]

I had no idea the Mexican National Anthem was 20 minutes long. I think that's my first time hearing it.

[david75090]

Los Mavericks no es muy bueno.

[KillerLeft]

Goodness, Gafford looks even slower than normal. I hope he gets into game shape pretty quickly.

[david75090]

I have that same tile in my kitchen.

[ThisIStheYear]

Jeez 3 Cooper airballs?

[david75090]

Klay was shooting too well, Kidd took him out instead of feeding him the ball.

[KillerLeft]

Powell checks in and is an immediate impact on the offensive glass. He really seems ready to play this year.

Boom! As I'm typing this, Powell with the Gortat screen!!!

[MaxiThreeba]

Klay was shooting too well, Kidd took him out instead of feeding him the ball.

You could see it on Klay’s face too as he came off.

[KillerLeft]

Flagg has made some good passes in this one, but he seems super uncomfortable shooting and just forced Kidd to call a timeout because of his 2nd or 3rd bad defensive mistake.

[david75090]

You could see it on Klay’s face too as he came off.

First game all year he's hit two in a row, seems like.

[david75090]

Flagg is off. No confidence in his shot. Growing pains.

[KillerLeft]

PJW has officially extended his offensive game.

[KillerLeft]

DLo is a GREAT passer, much better than advertised. When he's on the floor, the (relatively) good passing from either Flagg or Marshall isn't stifled or shelved, it's enhanced. Those dudes are SECONDARY playmakers.

[KillerLeft]

More running and offensive glass pressure from Powell!

[david75090]

We're getting the International Powell. The guy that plays for Team Canada.

[Jym]

DLo is a GREAT passer, much better than advertised. When he's on the floor, the (relatively) good passing from either Flagg or Marshall isn't stifled or shelved, it's enhanced. Those dudes are SECONDARY playmakers.

30 minutes of Dlo and 18+ minutes of Williams 
I don't get why this is even a discussion or a thought

[KillerLeft]

Powell contests the corner three with control, not overdoing it, then cuts off the drive, then rebounds the miss and finally makes a great outlet pass leading to a fast break bucket. I do not understand why folks don't love this guy.
