Am I in heaven. Can barely write because I don´t want to miss a second.

[SleepingHero]

Maxi so far getting manhandled by Drummond. And making some awful offensive plays.

I am most definitely in heaven.

Dwight can earn his money this year, cause it does not look like Boban has the feet, DFS has the length or Maxi has the strength to defend the strong agile bigs. Drummond, Blake and Adams having their way with the Mavs inside.

[SleepingHero]

GREAT 3 by DFS there.

Maxi vs Blake isn´t bad. He won us a game with two clutch blocks and a 3 in their last matchup. RC started KP on Drummond...probably thinks of him as a center on defense.
Don´t think Powell is any better than Kleber on defense...in fact he is a lot worse.

Extremely small sample size in games that don't matter but Kleber's defense seems to have regressed. Doesn't look nearly as impactful as he did last year. If anything I think trading for a good big is a priority now.

[GermanMavsFan]

Those first minutes felt unreal. Porzingis is looking great, way better than I expected after the long break.

[Mavs2019]

Rose: Ref, THJ fouled me.
Ref: Please THJ doesn´t play defense. Case dismissed.

[SleepingHero]

What an awful shot by THJ.

Step back contested 3 with over 8 seconds left on the shot clock.

Small sample size is why I have trust in Klebers defense. I take an entire NBA season where he ranked among the top 10-15 PFs on defense over 1 1/2 preseason games.

Kleber is a great help defender, not so good 1 on 1.

[SleepingHero]

WOW. What 2 great steals by Luka there.

Depends on the matchup. On switches against guards/wings he is better than any other Mavs big. I would agree that he is a mediocre post defender.

[SleepingHero]

Why does THJ go under the screen when guarding Kennard?? His 3point shot is the only reason why he's in the NBA

[Mavs2019]

Lukes like Kennard might be fine afterall.

[SleepingHero]

Boban barely has to jump to dunk.
