GAME 43: IND (21-23) @ DAL (23-20) | 92-109 loss
|
We seriously need 1-2 guys that can actually comfortably drive a basketball and make plays (for others). I´m not sure why the focus should be on guys like Markkanen or Collins, unless they intend to move Powell and maybe Maxi, too. We desperately need a DeRozan type.
Richardson playing PG sums up, what Rick thinks of rookies and how awful Burke is.

This is a game where somebody like Fournier could have helped us-Brunson and richardson were terrible

KP was really good. Lets see that type of high usage when Luka plays. Hardaway was good too. Everyone else stunk. Some really bad. Just need to improve this team. I don't want to make final judgement but resigning Richardson and Hardaway and signing an MLE type player is not enough.

Outside of Luka literally nobody on this roster that is 6´7 or above can put it on the floor, and THJ/Brunson/Burke/Richardson aren´t exactly good at it either. They play us super tight at the 3 pt line, cause they know nobody is comfortable or capable putting the ball on the floor.  It´s sad to see how much better McConnell is than Burke.

also, plug in a random guy like Goga Bitadze in this lineup and he instantly becomes our best big outside of KP-better than WCS, Boban and most definitely better than Powell. his 3 blks in this game is same was what Powell had - for the whole month of March!

No Luka no offense. Green had a really nice couple of minutes. Showed it wouldn't be the end of the world if they gave him 5 minutes every 2nd quarter. KP had a good game too. But, everytime Mavs came close a couple of mistakes killed them.
Of course both Portland and Denver won  Let's hope both KP and Luka play against New Orleans, otherwise I am affraid there will be another loss

Maxi had 3 pts in 35 minutes. That's not gonna cut it folks. DFS wasn't any better. It was the KP THJ show like it is most nights when Luka doesn't play.

Josh Green is the future. You can see the offensive potential...he is way ahead as a rookie compared to DFS or Justin Anderson. His FT shooting is bad though...and he seems more comfortable taking mid-rangers than the 3. Maybe Redick can help him

Our team is not bad but we have an offense built around Luka’s greatnsss. Not sudenly easy for the other guys to switch around and play a different style without him there. Give them 2 or 3 games and they will adjust though you can’t replace an all world talent. This is why earlier in the year when he might have come cheaper I wanted Lonzo in here. Need a big guard who can bring some elements of what Luka does on nights like these.

Nothing wrong if we have a guy who can do that. We have other guys who can shoot the 3.

Not sure he'll be worth the salary he's going to command this summer but I'd be tempted.

What Redick can teach isn’t so much about making shots, but more about how to relocate without the ball and ways of using footwork to get shots off faster. That could be invaluable for a guy like Terry. Best case scenario: Redick carves out a 10 minutes per night role for himself here and then Terry is ready to step right into it next season.

Let's be honest here. The Mavs acted like they were the #1 seed by resting Luka. These games against Indiana, Chicago, Toronto and OKC will come back to haunt us down the road. Most likely KP will not play tomorrow. The Mavs haven't clinched anything. I'm disappointed with this strategy of load management particularly with where we are currently seeded. You can rest later. Pretty crappy night with Portland beating the hapless Magic and Denver squeaking by the Raptors.

The Pacers aren’t a good team but they have a pretty good roster. Put Luka on it and they’re title contenders. Without Luka, the Mavs didn’t stand a chance.

TJ McConnell made Brunson look like a G-League player tonight.
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.

I think there is a possibility that he is a missing link to this team though, so if they did offer him max and got him, I'd approach it with wait and see like most of the transactions I think are questionable.
