2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[ItsGoTime]

So, let's assume "I go, you go" is something that has to be solved...

Is it best solved by adding a one dimensional offensive guy or a multi-dimensional offensive guy?  Seems to me the only way to solve it is adding more multi-dimensional guys, right?

There may be things to criticize about adding Wood, but his ability to shoot the three better than Maxi and roll and score better than Powell (with some floor game to boot), isn't one of them.

So, I’ll have to reread what I wrote, but I’m pretty sure there was some optimism in my post regarding adding Wood. Attacking the close out when Luka’s turn in the I go, you go rotation is for sure a positive. Also if DFS improves on his confidence to do the same, that also really helps. The offense we run is pretty much founded by the trio of Mike, Dan and Tony and the hate for what that man has done to the NBA knows no bounds to me. I will forever be unconvinced that following something he created will be a positive for a team. What the GSW has done with 5 out is added off-ball motion to the 5 out system of play. If we add THAT (which I think Wood could very much help in that regard)? We could very well do it even better than the Warriors with the group assembled. The group assembled, however, isn’t ready to play the brand of defense the GSW play however. THAT is what has made them a dynasty. 


The goal is to win a championship, sure. To me, the way to do that is to build for a dynasty. I will backtrack on something I did say in the original post to this discussion. I CAN see this team winning a championship. In my mind it would take a Dirk-like 2011 supernova type run from Luka. There is a very outside chance that could even happen with him. To believe that would happen is too much for me to hope for, so I said what I said, “I can’t get there” but, I’m glad for those that can.
