I'll give you the fact that we don't have better options but boy oh boy is he a bummer. Our entire front court doesn't rebound and unless we fix that issue, New York is going to be very happy with the outcome of our season.
He was better than WCS. At least he was able to get some stops on defense and actually boxed out his matchup most of the time. WCS had one of his famous off games. Mistake after mistake leading to offensive rebounds and easy layups/dunks or FTs.
For me it is more about the tendency to blame Powell even though the other guys played just as bad or even worse. I don´t think anyone would argue that Powell had a good game against the Bulls.
Personally I agree with you that both aren´t getting the job done right now. I wanted the Mavs to sign a big forward or versatile bigman with the MLE instead of WCS.
We can only hope that KP stays healthy and fixes most of the problems.
