Mavs  @ Thunder

No Luka tonight

[Jason Terry]

Hardy should get starter type minutes tonight. Can’t wait to see how he handles it. Kidd to let him run the point

[KillerLeft]

Hmmm...no Luka, back to back, uninspiring opponent...ON THE ROAD. 

What could possibly go wrong in this one?

What OKC didn't get the memo for is that there is a Hardy Party about to start.

Great start from 3 but they need to find something else. Unlikely that they will continue to shoot like this all game long.

[dirkfansince1998]

When SD left the game and they had to rely on THJ and Hardy to create of the dribble the offense turned ugly. Prefer both of them in clearly defined roles with less ballhandling.

[SleepingHero]

Hardy calmly collecting and rising up a 3 out of a triple threat with a defender in his face and draining it made me nearly jump out of my chair.

[dirkfansince1998]

Flamethrower Bertans to the rescue.

[Jym]

Hardy has so much talent
We better not trade him for a 30+ year old rental

[dirkfansince1998]

Both teams shooting 70% from 3. First to slow down takes the L.

[dirkfansince1998]

Eugene > Javal

[Chicagojk]

Hardaway has been awful this half.  Just gave up a rebound that led to a 3.  Gave up an offensive rebound earlier.  And his offense has been abysmal.

[cow]

Tim is trash.

[Branduil]

Yeah I'm ready for that Lavert-for-THJ trade

[Chicagojk]

We need to do better than Dinwiddie as a secondary creator.

[cow]

Dwight Powell's face shows up every game.

[dirkfansince1998]

THJ is 1-9. SD is 2-8. Expected outcome when both have to create everything for themself.

Spoiler...They didn´t.

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

This game only shows Wood is the second best player on the team.
Unfortunately he isn't a guard who can handle the ball, and would have to rely on guards to get him the ball.

And those guards who should hand him the ball are looking for their own shots.

[Chicagojk]

Also thought for second straight appearance Wright had a rough going.  He had some bright moments to start but has been rough lately.   He is a two way guy but Mavs may need better insurance if he cannot play through his rough patch.

Eugene O was a nice fine by the Mavs.  Just weird how they appeared to have little interest in him once he was injured last year.
