MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[Mavs2021]

Is it to early to admit being wrong about DJJ (me included)?  Maybe it is a short sample but when he was announced as a starter, I had no idea he would be this good.    It is a long season though.

Also, there was and were good posters here who said how Kidd handled Wood last year was a fireable offense.  It looks like Wood is settling in as a 15 minute a game player (with the Lakers still missing Vanderbilt).  We will see if that changes.

Lastly, right now would the Mavs lose a straight up Hardaway for Capela trade right now with how Hardaway has played so far this year?

Again, long season and these may not  age well, but still.

Yeah DJJ´s level of play is really shocking in a positive way. But damn do we need it. 

I did a little digging into that 37 minute zero pointer from Josh Green. That was statistically one of the most empty games in NBA history. 

The record for minutes played without a point is shared by Wilson Chandler, Dennis Rodman and Horace Grant at 48 minutes, but if you simply add up all other boxscore categories (REB, AST, BLKS. STLS) their total comes out to 12, 28, 19, so they contributed in other areas. The only guys that had similar empty stats to Green´s numbers are Ricky Davis against the defending NBA champion Detroit Pistons that won 64 games and ranked #1 in every defensive category and Isaac Okoro against the shitty 2020 Detroit Pistons.

So all things considered (stats, pace, opposition) this game by Josh Green was an all-timer only matched by Isaac Okoro. I actually think we are witnessing history here. Imagine if you could have seen MJ vs. LeBron in their primes or Shaq vs. Wilt. Well as far as empty boxscores are concerned we have their full primes to watch them battle it out for the EMPTY boxscore GOAT: Okoro vs. Green. Never met a shot they liked. Never seen a rebound they couldn´t grab.
