GAME 26: DAL (13-13) @ CHI (11-14) | 115-144 loss

[Chicagojk]

Mop up duty but jaden should get any minutes before Frank or Kemba.  Neither have a future here.  Let’s get the growing pains started

[dirkfansince1998]

Frank has good handles and can get in the paint but it brings little value because his touch around the rim is so freaking bad.

Actually think Kemba is very valuable for him, cause he understands his role and is actively looking for him, unlike THJ or Dinwiddie, who still fancy themselves as important. Ntilikina though is truly never going to make it. All his minutes should go to Hardy.

Ntilikina though is truly never going to make it. All his minutes should go to Hardy.

I think I agree with this, but I'd try to give Ntilikina a shot at Bullock's role soon before turning the page for good.

Whoever has the McGee remote, can you please take him off of half speed?

[Mavs2021]

It´s almost like Dragic goes out of his way to make McGee Mark look like a moron.

[KillerLeft]

Actually think Kemba is very valuable for him,

WAY agree with this. If the Mavs do this just right, even Luka can learn some things from Walker while he's here.

[Kammrath]

FN deserves more of a shot before being cut. I personally would play him significant minutes right now if I was the coach.

[dirkfansince1998]

Might as well get back on defense. Inbound plays are guaranteed turnovers.

[cow]

Dragic moving like an old man on his way back to the bench.

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

It´s almost like Dragic goes out of his way to make McGee Mark look like a moron.

And Kidd too.

[dirkfansince1998]

When you don´t have any young talent on the roster and end up playing McGee, Bertans and Walker in garbage time. Veteran stat padding for the win.
McGee with a season high 16 pts.

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

Frank has good handles and can get in the paint but it brings little value because his touch around the rim is so freaking bad.

Just bringing the ball up can help.
And he's way better than RB on finding the open man.

If both can't score, I'd go Frankie 9 times out of 10.

[cow]

McGee has some offensive game on the block.  Frank has no feel on the offensive end.

I think he's fine as a the end-of-the-bench combo-guard that you pay veteran minimum 1-year deals to.

[dirkfansince1998]

McGee has some offensive game on the block.  Frank has no feel on the offensive end.

The idea of him as a ballhandler should have died a long time ago. There is a role for him on a 15-roster but it should be limited to 5-10 minutes as a defensive specialist. Just like in the playoffs when he replaced Green in the rotation. Mix it up and full court press the best opposing scorer for a couple of minutes. Hope that Frank can get back to 35% + from 3 and park him in the corner on offense.

[dirkfansince1998]

At least Hardy isn´t afraid of contact in the paint.

[ItsGoTime]

Hardy isn't very efficient, but dang is he fearless!

[BolsDamols]

McGee (18 points in 16 mins on 80% shooting) is probably thinking, "Im back in the starting line up baby!"

[cow]

Hardy isn't very efficient, but dang is he fearless!

He's got a loooong way to go and should take some lessons from tonight but he certainly doesn't lack confidence.

[Chicagojk]

Good practice for Hardy.  Sort of the chicken or the egg thing.  It is good he is getting a lot of playing time in the G league but he has proven to be too good down there so far.  He finishes all those buckets at the rim In g league games.  Tougher in the nba…even in mop up duty.
