GAME 59: MIN (31-29) vs. DAL (31-28)| 124-121 Loss

Team as it is is not a contender, imho. So, most likely they will win some games and lose some, end up somewhere 4-6 probably and not have a very long playoff run.

Its just like last season when they made a big trade at the TDL leaving a gaping hole in the frontcourt and did nothing to address it.  Defense was already a problem and they sent out one of their best defenders in a trade and did nothing about it.  I guess making trades are really hard.

If the Mavs have enough quick guys on the floor they have a chance to stay in front of their matchups. Can make quick rotations. Can prevent penetration.
With Powell, Wood and McGee playing center the Mavs gave up 33, 32, 35 in the first three quarters. With a Luka/Frank/Pinson frontcourt the Mavs gave up 24 in the 4th quarter. Played Gobert off the floor and forced the T`Wolves to go small as well.

Another reason we are missing Dorian.  He was perfect for small ball lineups.
