Last game of 2021, let’s end this interesting year on a good note. Must win game.

No Frank = No Bueno

Defense has fallen apart without him.

Let's Go Monta Ellis with no moped.  

I called it out last game with Chriss getting no minutes. I was pleasantly surprised we gave him another 10 day. And he's still growing on me

Can someone sum up for me the contract issue with him? I know there's something that makes him difficult to sign for a full season unless we lose someone

I'm hoping Reggie's time in the gym is paying off like this furthermore as well

I’m sure he can be had for the minimum. There just isn’t an available roster spot unless they move someone out of the way.

What I meant was even a two way spot. If I remember we waived Omoruyi so there's a spot but Pinson was eligible and Chriss wasn't

Ah, I see. I’m honestly not sure why he is ineligible for a two-way contract, but I assume it has to do with the amount of time he has already spent in the NBA, which is fairly significant.

Gave up 39 in the first.....17 in the second. GREAT job turning up the defensive intensity.

You're only eligible for a two way if you're in your fourth year or less. Pinson is in his fourth year so he is still eligible. This is Chriss' fifth year though so he's ineligible. He would have to take a regular roster spot.

Maybe that's it. But Pinson had some time in the NBA himself, though not as much as Chriss. I guess I'm asking what was the specific issue to the number

I am watching between hosting...surprisingly the Mavs are playing good.  I was expecting a 20 plus loss after the last game heartbreaker and being down several players.

Green still looks awfully awkward when trying to score, but I like how he has tried driving a few times.   He passed up some shots that he has to take though.  But I love his movement on offense.  Just adds another dimension to the rest of the guys who stand around.  In fact, it creates more opportunities for others just by him cutting...even if he doesn't get the ball.  

I have really liked what I have seen from the Chriss era...when he isn't fouling.  Seems to pass the ball well, has nice hands, really goes up and gets rebounds, and even shows good touch around the rim.  Really want to get a closer look at him when everyone is healthy.   Could be a really nice short term rotation.  We don't have a player like him on the roster.   

Nice buckets by Bullock.

Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for

Best half for RB in a Mavs uniform. Let's hope it keeps up!

I know everyone hates him, but Powell really does defend the pick and roll really well most of the time, imho.

Great passing by RB.

Great stretch by DP.....this year he has mostly been ineffective....but when he is effective he is usually REALLY effective.

He does a lot of little things on the court.  With that being said, I think he ideal role is your 4th big.  A guy who comes in and runs non stop and make things happen when the game gets a little loose.   Some nights that may be 8 minutes, some nights it may be 20.    Mavs need to find that one more high tier bigman...IMO it shouldn't be a center though.
