GAME 2 DIRKIE: Delon Wright

[Kammrath]

Who was the "player of the game" who outplayed their usual self to help the team win?

[ClutchDirk]

Delon by a landslide...he was a big time #3 tonight...

[omahen]

Luka was excellent as most of the nights. He didn't need to throw that 3 long threes, other than that he was excellent.

KP was also great. Good offense, excellent rim protecting. Nevermind those last two mistakes against Jrue.

But the one who deserved a Dirkie for me tonight was Wright. Finally we saw what we wanted. Great game.

[Jym]

Hopefully we see this Wright more
Such great energy

Feels like Kam wants us to vote for a certain guard. Otherwise he probably would have picked a different formulation.  
Luka was great. KP really good although he still has some mental lapses.

Dirkie obviously goes to Delon.

Voted DW. How awesome that we have such high expectations of Luka that a triple-double, low-turnover, high-shooting-percentage game doesn’t get him the Dirkie?

Just an average night

Yep, par for the course for Luka at this point.

Read some Pelican't fans today say Luka would be shut down by the Ingram Holiday Ball cabal.  So much for dreams.  I was impressed by Ingram's offense and silky smooth mooves.

Honorable mention to Brunson...14 points, 8 rebounds, clutch shot...

[SportPsychMav]

I didn't like the game of brunson at all! Played really disconnected from the rest of the team while taking difficult shots.

His stats might be ok, but the way he played deserves some criticism.

To his credit the team overall still has rusty chemistry.

This will be much better as the season goes.

Adding Powel to the mix will probably provide Dalles with one of the best offenses in the league. Calling it now.

Barring injuries they will make the playoffs.

They have way too much upside cohesion wise.

Breakout game for Delon. This is the guy the Mavs told us they signed. Hopefully we see this Delon pretty often this year. If we do,... playoffs!

Not seeing that at all. Looks like a team captain and near all star in the making.

Agree to disagree then . I was just talking about this game only and not about his general play or ceiling.
I'm quite sure he can do better. 1 Assist just stinks and it's not just the stats, my eyetest told me he was playing rather disconnected on offense taking difficult shots outside the flow. I'm glad he made most obviously.

One hell of a game by Wright. That's a big boy line: 20/7/3/5 
His defensive awareness is really on another level too.

[vikingbis]

This was already a BIG win ! Pelicans are stacked ...Dirkie is Luka's property   ....So, no problem to give it to Delon Wright   !!! Exactly the kind of game i was hoping from him ! Great defense  !!KP is only in his second game after two years out ! When Luka, KP and Wright will be in sync ,it should be great fun ! BRAVO , MAVS !!
