Time to see if the Mavs measure up!

I have a feeling that we're in store for another Miami-style beatdown, where it's clear that one team is significantly better (right now). The sky will be falling around here for 48 hours, but literally no matter what happens, I'll be fine. I'm starting to see some things I like out there.

Tough one coming up. Let's see how we're progressing.

Yeah if Luka is the weak link (compared to where we hoped he could be) in a 7-3 start, I'm not going to complain too much Just curious how the minutes will shake out once Maxi comes back. Frankie and Bullock both need to play more My hope is that Powell is the one having to sacrifice
This next stretch of 9 games that takes us through Nov is interesting. Lots of road games, an up tick in opponent quality, but no b2bs. Seems like a good level of test for where we're at. It's an increase in difficulty level, but not impossibly difficult. Difficult enough that 5 and 4 would probably be a success.

Bulls are tough..they have a lot of powder offensively and 2 good perimeter defenders in Caruso / Ball..but they don't have good inside defense..interesting challenge

Here are the current numbers: 34.5 Luka 31.8 THJ 31.4 DFS 28.6 Brunson 26.2 KP 23.9 Powell 20.3 Bullock 18.8 Maxi 14.0 Frank I'm not sure anyone has to sacrifice in games where we just play our top nine. There is plenty of room to give some extra minutes to KP, Brunson and Maxi if we wish. I'm not sure the current version of DFS deserves to be at 31 minutes. We mainly need to get the right people together in the right rotation. It doesn't feel like we've got that nailed down just yet.

Give KP some of Powell's minutes, Bullock some of DFS minutes and remaining minutes to Maxi and Frank. I look at it like this: Center: KP/Powell Non KP minutes are about the right amount for Powell PF: DFS/Maxi Maxi makes most sense playing with Powell on second unit, but these two should split minutes evenly SG/SF: THJ/Bullock Bullock will get additional minutes (see below) PG: Luka/Brunson Brunson will get a lot of additional minutes (see below) The 5th spot can be split by Brunson, Bullock and Frank General thoughts: The single big lineup ideally would include KP/DFS/Luka The 2 big lineups would generally be KP/Maxi or Powell/Maxi One of Luka/Brunson would always be on the court Exactly 2 of Luka/Brunson/THJ would be on the court to balance out offense/defense

If we are losing anyways, I hope we lose bad enough to get this Canadian Goofus out of the starting lineup.

Can you put your address in the this thread so we can send you some DP Bobble Heads for Christmas? For some reason, and maybe it was just a dream, but didn't you actually say something nice about DP in the not too distant past?

Factually correct minutes allocation to win games:
Luka 34 Brunson 34 THJ 32 KP 30 DFS 30 (we have no other big wings) Bullock 26 Maxi 24 (save him for big playoff role) Frank 18 Moses 8 (let’s get a look can’t be any worse than WCS and Dwight) Brown 4 Garbage time/situational for everyone else Starting 5: Brunson - Bullock - Luka - Maxi - KP (11-10-2021, 02:02 PM)fifteenth Wrote: Can you put your address in the this thread so we can send you some DP Bobble Heads for Christmas?

When considering our record this year against the Hawks, Heat, Rockets, and Raptors, we are 0.500 against teams with red colored logos. Gotta get that number higher. Must win game.

Mavs are due to an insanely good shooting night. Let it be tonight.

I suppose there's an outside chance that they'll get more "up" for Chicago because they know how good of a team they're facing. It's possible. I definitely thought they took parts of that Boston game off due to Brown being out, which was unfortunate.

This will be a statement game by the Mavs. Kidd enters COY discussion!!

Luka+DP+DFS is -14.5 for the year....tonight -7 together already. They need to figure this out or Kidd needs to break up the three stooges!
