GAME 9: DAL (6-3) @ MEM (2-7) | 138-122 win | Mavs NBA best 4-0 on road

[Fuerza1]

This is a very interesting article about our rotations compared to the rest of the teams.

Article pretty much read my mind. The Delon, Brunson, Luka, Kleber, KP lineup is the best all around line-up we can provide imo so not shocked they brought us back in the game down 11. I'm surprised yet at the same time not surprised [lol Carlisle] we  didn't go back to it in the 4Q. 

It's early but that line-up has been our second most used line-up and it's at a -1.4 net rating this season. It's not that bad when you consider the Mavs' most used lineup: Seth, DFS, Luka, Kleber, and KP hold a net rating of -25.6 

IMO, we need to give the Delon/Brunson/Kleber + KP/Luka more of a chance to establish themselves and figure it out.

No Ja tonight.  Might skip this game.

Mavs will win unless Memphis shoots 50 percent from three.

Starting unit with Seth and without Powell. I'm in love!

If KP sits, hard to see how this can be a win. We'll see.

It's easy for me to see how the Mavs can win this.  They've been relying way too much on three pointers, imo.  Hopefully, in KP's absence, they will play better and smarter basketball tonight.  Drive the lane and put more pressure on the defense.  Move better without the ball.

I like the size and length of that lineup for defensive purposes!  We'll see how long Boban lasts before the game gets too fast for him.

[Sepher]

I think the line up going forward should be Luka + Seth + KP + Dorian + Kleber

You have you're defense and offense. Were getting owned with Powell starting. He can't defend anyone.

[BigDirk41]

I feel better now that Boban is starting and DP is coming off the bench. I'm looking for a big night from Curry for his breakout game. I think Boban will give us 10 and 10 tonight if he gets 20 minutes. I believe this is the 7th different starting lineup in 9 games and that's crazy. It might be 6th so I'm not positive. I saw the number somewhere.

[SleepingHero]

The Boban getting the start over Powell!! I cannot be more excited.


I would rather have Boban start every game over Powell.

Helluva pass by Luka to Maxi there. Who hit it! already an improvement from last night.

---

Maxi with the big block!

---

Curry for 3! Why again does THJ get minutes over him??

---

Curry for 3 again!!

---

CURRY FOR 3 AGAIN!!

THATS 3 IN A ROW WOW!

[TATU]

Stay aggressive Seth.

[Hypermav]

Who would have thought to bring a 3 pt specialist to a 3pt fight?

LUKA GOT FOULED THERE WTF

---

Luka is so crafty with his drives. Always finds the right angle to flip it up off the backboard.

---

Curry to DFS! And then Luka with the floater!

Also as soon as Powell comes in JV just posts him up.

---

Luka with the up and under and-1!

---

THJ is so bad man. 


He really is the new Wes. Thinks he's gods gift of shooting and hustle defense that sometimes works but most of the time does nothing.

[Hypermav]

Just watching DP run around and he seems to be flailing and has no strength against smaller players.  I don't get it compared to last year.

And Harp says right away, "that was good defense, Valenciunas just made a difficult shot".

[Mavs2019]

I think we can get ready for the first Luka 40 pt game very soon. It seems teams have decided they can´t stop Luka´s drives anyway, so they´ll just stay close to their guys. Hope that tired legs and 3pt triggerism by Luka will offset whatever damage he can do inside by himself.

[mtrot]

Action and Delon time!

[sefant]

Time to end the THJ experiment. I would rather see Ryan Broekhoff or Jackson getting all his minutes.

[SleepingHero]

Every single time THJ comes in the Mavs become terrible.

Why Carlisle doesn't bench him I'll never understand. Wright should be the first guard off the bench. Brunson next. THJ needs be 5th or 6th on the totem pole

You mean last year, when nobody gave a f*** about the tanktastic Mavs. The shit I got for saying DP was the most unnecessary early contract extension ever. Now Morey has tanked the cap for 2020, it´s even worse.
