a little surprised we haven't seen Maxi at PF. Makes me wonder if that is in the plans when everyone is healthy.
This is a game where I would go without Hardaway. Just not doing a lot of good out there today. Also, I was hoping we were done with the smaller lineups.

Lively > Gafford
And I don’t think it’s close. Just a different level defensively.
WAY too much Gafford tonight on offense and he kinda does the blockhunting thing a bit.

Hardaway has to be pushed to the Powell role now.
Beginning to understand why PJ is a 32% 3 pt shooter.

I am higher on THJ than most but I think the Mavs missed an opportunity to trade him at the deadline.

Oh, for sure. It is not close.
Kleber > Gafford, except for rebounding.

I’m ready to vote for the Dirkie.

2 great passes by Luka.
Incredible swing pass by PJ there to find the hot hand.
Can the Mavs continue to play smart??????????????????

I am sooooo relieved Kyle Kuzma isn’t a Maverick.

Absolutely no reason why Hardy doesn’t take all of Hardaway’s minutes

There are some games where THJ is very good.
This isn't one of them.

Finally got a couple of stops and hit a couple of threes.

Tonight they don’t really have the option to play Kleber at PF unless they want to rely on Gafford even more. I REALLY hope Maxi at PF is a big thing going forward though. We need the size and otherwise the entire C rotation gets overcrowded with Lively / Gafford / Kleber and Powell

Marvin Bagley feasted on that Luka-Kyrie-THJ-Josh Green-Maxi line up.

People have been asking for a player like this for years. Mavs finally have a Drummond/Whiteside type. Just need to figure out when/how to use him. Looking at his boxscore (16pts/17reb/5blk) one would think that he dominated the game but watching it I would argue that the Mavs looked better when Kleber (0pts/2reb) was on the floor.

The problem is Kids doesn't sit THJ when he starts 0-8. He just lets him keep firing up misses.

Kleber and PJ out there is the Mavs’ best option , defensively. It’s working, and it will work in the playoffs.

Example of what I mean: Lively and Gafford can do some things Kleber can’t, but he is willing to sprint to closeout on a shooter. SPRINT.
