@"ThunderMav"

Basically telling us what we already knew. Mavs have more depth than most teams but lack true starters. Thunder have a great starting five + Schroder and Noel but lack some depth. Rockets entirely depend on the production of their two superstars.

What´s up with Andre Drummond in Cleveland. Minutes down, boxscore numbers down. They actually bench him in crunch time.
He has a player option next year. Do they want him to opt out? And if they do...what is his market value. Looks like he could lose a lot of money in the next few month.

Confirms we have a ton of 4th (91-120) and 5th (121-150) starter types (not a bunch of 7th man types as many thought)

Powell isn't as easily replaced as people think (even if Maxi steps up, who replaces Maxi).

KP is probably on a path for top 40 for second half of season.  Huge lift if maintained.

Need another top 40 guy.  Very few guys who are available qualify.  Gallinari (37) does.

Drummond has already been rumored to claim Cavs locker room more toxic than his last team...

One might argue that putting 6-7 man types in the position to be 3-7th man roles would even out their production in the regular season as 4th-5th man types.

I posted those 4 teams because they the ones fighting for the 4/5/6/7 seeds.  Jazz are starting to struggle.  Houston midgets are working now but can they sustain.  OKC has a tough March with 2-1 ratio road/home schedule.

According to that tweet, WCS is ranked 111 with Powell at 112; Kleber is at 118.

Idk maybe all these "advanced" statistics are garbage but if they mean something to y'all, WCS and Kleber are at the very least in the same neighborhood of Dwight Harlan Powell. 

Carlisle found 27 mpg for Powell's "unique" skillset. IMO, the best the team has looked this season is with another big next to KP. Since DP has been injured, Carlisle has shied away with it and I don't think we've looked as crisp.

Seems like to me we could roll with Kleber in the DP starting spot and WCS in the bench-Kleber role?

Also confirms that Jackson has been a something of a disaster for months now. We should go up a level in the playoffs just by cutting him out of the rotation

Jazz have been struggling and might keep doing so.  

My thoughts are if behind 10 in 4th they are not designed to play fast.  And if you just don’t go too far in paint you eliminate their biggest defensive weapon.  A pop or 3 shot can mitigate their inside defense.  May just be a mid season slump but they are only 2 games from 7th (in loss column). Both Mavs and Thunder could move up.  Avoiding 7 and 8 seed would be ideal.

And this is why you want to avoid 7 seed:

Dort has been an amazing undrafted find.

Natural conclusion is, that OKC releases him from his two-way and Mavs jump in with a 4 year minimum deal  Afterall, this is a Mavs forum

He came back to earth tonight not his best game.  But we held on for our 9th straight road win and 1/2 out of 5th place.  What a season its been just mind blowing to me.

Did anyone see this coming when Conley went to the Jazz last year?

I always liked Malik Monk and wondered how such a talented shooter never worked out in the NBA.  Unfortunately I may have my answer.

Turning onto a nightmare trade for Utah

Conley back into the starting line-up at the moment...Ingles benched instead...

Depending on the spread this will likely end Fri night.  We play @Bucks but on the 2nd night of back to back.  Meanwhile Bucks will have a few days off and well rested.  Still a crazy stat especially based on first month losing a lot.
