Enjoying Grant as the outlet at the nail when the ball gets trapped.

The fact lively can do reverse layups as a rookie and look comfortable is something I was not expecting at all in his rookie year
KYRIE IS ON FIRE

Was reading RealGM Celtics board to see how they are liking KP. Came across back and forth with two members that seemed reasonable and not homers hating...they were suggesting Grant is playing good offensively for us but his numbers should correct. I dont know his historic stats but I came away from the comments hoping he isnt some super streaky shooter/scorer that leads to Mavs fans feeling underwhelmed.
He seems to be an upgrade for us...from what we have been used to the past few seasons...so there is that. I think we need his defense more than offense anyway. But he is at least capable of passing, dribbling and shooting which have been rare traits for our roll players.

I don't think there was an ever a possibility for Grant to keep up is near 60% 3pt shooting for an entire season. He just needs to be close to 40% on high volume and we're fine. He doesn't even have to be consistently good every night. Just mediocre. It'd be more than what we're getting from Reggie the last season, and thats all that matters.
But I agree he is certainly an upgrade so far. His defense has been a breath of fresh air.

The communication between Grant and Luka there on defense was a sight to see. Then Luka hits a beautiful 3. Then a no look pass for a DJJ 3.
How can you stop that??
THEN GRANT WITH A BLOCK
Now Josh is getting in on the action with a BOOMA BANGA 3
RE: Game 10: New Orleans Pelicans (4-5) vs. Dallas Mavericks (7-2) | 6:00pm CST - SleepingHero - 11-12-2023
Mavs hit 100 points again with time to spare in the 3rd. When they are hitting shots this offense is the most prolific of all time.
As I say that Luka hits a cross court no look for a DJJ 3
Luka AGAIN!!
RE: Game 10: New Orleans Pelicans (4-5) vs. Dallas Mavericks (7-2) | 6:00pm CST - SleepingHero - 11-12-2023
Luka with the 4d underwater chess move to go get some rest. Genius stuff from the Don

Luka with this hair and his current mustache combo would literally be the Thanos of the NBA. He would be inevitable

Powell 10 rebounds, Lively 1. I’m confused.

This makes me feel like you want some Ricky Rubio gifs…

Kyrie is in his bag tonight my goodness

More like mid 2000s Steve Nash. Dude had the bob haircut of every soccer mom and still put up 25/12 every night.

And Kidd brings him in. Me and Kidd are vibing

Cody Zeller was drafted 8 spots higher than Dereck Lively.

Pelicans can't miss in garbage time
Both Luka and Kyrie with 30+ point games in under 30 minutes.

Garbage time overreaction: Morris is on the roster because of his relationship with Dudley and Kidd. As the coaches voice in the locker room. Has no on court role.

Nice to see Kyrie and Josh Green play well.
I know we’re not gonna be in that top tier of contenders but if the team is still playing at a >50 win pace at the deadline, they’re gonna look to add win now players like Dan has been suggesting.
