Game 47 Dirkie: Tim Hardaway Jr 41.38% (not definitive enough bc haters)

I will give Maxi an honorable mention.  The D just worked when he was in the game and it didn't seem to work as well when GWill was in the game.  

Maxi enabled Mavs to play bigger, as Luka and Lively played almost whole game. He was good in the zone defense. They packed the paint and defended three well in the second half, mostly forcing Orlando into tough long 2 pointers. Luka was great on Banchero. Orlando lacking a good PG is I think what killed them (besides Mavs playing really well in the second half). But, Maxi is so bad on offense, it is painful to watch. Mavs survived that in a game of excellent shooting from top 3 perimeter scorers this game. I don't think they can survive against a really good team. He decided to do something just twice in 22 minutes. Once was a TO and once a bad miss. We had said it many times, big wing is Mavs biggest need.
