RE: MAVS NEWS: 13th O | 11th D | 8th Net | 9th in West - mvossman - 12-01-2022 (12-01-2022, 05:28 PM)DanSchwartzgan Wrote: I wanted to spend a little time on this while I had some time today. First, let me say that I'd probably have tried Wood/Maxi starting (with DFS/Green/Luka) if it were me. But, there are some challenges to making the rest of the rotation work around this lineup. Some really good points here. If you take it even farther, Powell is the only player Din plays well with and very surprisingly Green is the only player he plays poorly with (two of the highest net rating guys are -10 together). Arguments to keep Din in the starting lineup and Green out of it if you are going with Powell. On top of that, the starting lineup (pre Timmy) has by far the most minutes and is a net +10. It does not really seem to be the problem (the second most minutes is the previous starting lineup with McGee instead of Powell. It is a net -11. No wonder Powell on/off looks so good). All that being said, if we are going to stick with Powell in the starting lineup and give Timmy a real run, Din has to come off the bench. I don't think we can survive Luka/Timmy/Din long term from a defensive perspective. You could make a real argument for going with: Starting Powell/DFS/Green/Timmy/Luka Bench Maxi/Wood/Bullock/Frank/Din RE: MAVS NEWS: 13th O | 11th D | 8th Net | 9th in West - DanSchwartzgan - 12-01-2022 (12-01-2022, 07:10 PM)mvossman Wrote: All that being said, if we are going to stick with Powell in the starting lineup and give Timmy a real run, Din has to come off the bench. I don't think we can survive Luka/Timmy/Din long term from a defensive perspective. You could make a real argument for going with: I’d be a fan of that. BTW, just when I say you can’t run Powell and a bunch of guards, Kidd runs out with Powell, Green, THJ, Bullock and Luka as the first sub group in the 3rd.

Super troublesome. I sure hope Kidd hasn't convinced everyone to abandon analytics and just follow his gut instincts.

In the old days, people called it having two eyes and in these cases a semi-functional brain.

Felt like half of this board was convinced that McGee would bring rim protection and rebounding. Based on the eye test. Facu is a special case. Already posted it a couple of times but it takes a special team to sign the player with the worst +/- numbers in the entire league. Entire Nuggets roster had positive on court numbers next to Jokic. Except for one guy. And that´s the guy the Mavs picked. RE: MAVS NEWS: 13th O | 11th D | 8th Net | 9th in West | 1-5 in last 6 - cow - 12-01-2022 Facu played okay for us but he just can't shoot and this offense doesn't have enough movement in it to help disguise any of that shortcoming. I sort of feel bad for him because he worked his ass of and was a great little defender.

Based on the eye test. Definitely a decision that sounds like it has Kidd’s hands all over it. What a waste of an off-season. RE: MAVS NEWS: 10th O | 13th D | 10th Net | 11th in West | 1-5 in last 6 - SleepingHero - 12-02-2022 I feel like there is no urgency from the team or Kidd. Lot's of "my bads" and missed rotations. When will this team wake the f up? Kidd is asleep at the wheel. Bullock/DFS going through the motions. THJ is non-existent. Powell/Wood can't box out for their lives. Luka isn't blameless here as well. Seems like this team just assumes they can waltz in and get an easy win because of their recent playoff success. Add on the fact that Wood and THJ are constantly trying to get "theirs" you have a really awkward team. Burn this whole thing to the ground. Keep only Luka, Green, maybe Hardy, maybe DFS, maybe Dinwiddie.

Extract value from everyone else and build this team the right way. Of course Cuban is incapable of doing this in the first place and would be unwilling in the second place.

Fans should be protesting the heck out of this team and it's performance and blame falls solely on Cuban for getting the team here. I really do wonder what a DFS+Wood+Bullock package can fetch and in my dreams why can't it be OG+Gary Trent Jr. In all my years of watching the Mavs I haven't detested watching an iteration this much. Aside from Luka watching this team play is like pulling teeth.

He gets a highlight or two a game but the Harden comparisons aren't too far off. I can understand it somewhat with the talent around him but the dude can be coached. Too bad our coach, who was one of the greatest point guards ever, is so uncreative drawing up offenses. THJ murders my soul and love of basketball.
