Luka is in fact playing tonight just to make it clear.

Man, Tank Abbot was my favorite early UFC fighter!
Powell should be rested and ready for this matchup against Chet Holmgren
Chet vs Lively
One is ROY, the other plays for OKC
Josh Giddey will be in town, hide your baby sisters!

Oh, man! That Giddey comment!
So the roster will be even more short-handed tonight. Luka should get ejected early so he can go home to his family. No point in him playing 1 vs. 5 for the entire game against a good team
Hide your kids. Hide your wife. And hide Seth Curry cause he’s raping everybody out there.
2 fouls in 45 seconds. Gonna be a long night.
The double off of Jones strategy seemed like it was clever when he was 0-3.
Mavs inbound plays are guaranteed turnovers. Most likely a fastbreak opportunity for the opponent. How in the world can they be so freakin bad out of timeouts.
Playing a bunch of g leaguers.

Starters could hang with the Thunder. Bench is getting destroyed.
Luka played the entire 1st quarter. Still on the floor. What is the plan? 48 minutes?
Dont want o be negative...maybe the kid is showing good judgement in practice and getting more minutes...maybe its to just show us what you can do for a trade...
but I notice no impact factor from OMax at all from the games I watch.
Can anyone with a better eye tell me that he is producing without box stats? I see no impact on the game at all...offense or defense unfortunately. His career is young and I am totally rooting for this kid...but I see nothing. Hopefully someone can tell me he is shutting his man down on defense and thats all thats being asked right now.
For comparison...there is a school of thought here to move Green. Green impacts the game consistently and regularly. Maybe my casual eye is bad. Tell me Im wrong because I want this kid to work out for us.
A promising game turned into shit really quickly. that lineup with Dexter Dennis, Hardy and Omax killed the Mavs
Perspective. The Rangers are champs. The Cowboys are good. The Horns are probably going to the college football playoffs. The Mavs are undersized, unskilled, and kind of suck. You can’t have everything. Luka, Kyrie, and Lively are the only keepers on this team (maybe Exum). And that assumes Kyrie can get right physically. You never know at his age.
What happened to Hardy? Why is he so bad this year? Does anyone know? I can’t believe how far he’s regressed.

You are not wrong. But your expectations are way too high. Defensive players, unless they are shot blockers, have to rely on physicality in the NBA. Rookies can’t play physical because the cheating refs won’t let them. Just like rookies can’t get paid whatever they’re truly worth (because the union sold em out, as unions always do to guys who aren’t yet members), they can’t get calls either. For a few, they get a little bit of superstar treatment. But not late first rounders.
Next year he’ll get reffed like a scrub, which is a little better. If he can keep improving, he’ll make a contribution next year or the year after.
Grant Williams postup. Somewhere Wes Matthews is smiling...
