MavsBoard

The Mavs have been playing teams close for quite awhile. It was only a matter of time before they won a game. I noticed that somebody jumped the gun before the game by posting a "tank is on" thread. Ooops. Not yet. Regardless of what you think about tanking or playing to win, the Dirkie thread is for the player who did the most to win this particular game. We have several people who contributed.

Dwight Powell did just what he always does. He played hard and did a lot of stuff. Just take a look at his stat line and you'll see this. Usually he doesn't get enough playing time to mount any stats, but he is certainly a good veteran to have on the bench.

Naji Marshall is also another person who seems to just go out there and do what he needs to do. He's not flashy, but he produces.

Cooper Flagg is an 18 year old man!...on the court. Or is he 19 now? Doesn't matter. He's there...and he's a Mav. With proper guidance, training, medical staff, and intangibles, CF is going to be good. I'm hoping he will be the second coming of--Dirk? Come on! I'm jumping the gun now, but what the hell!

Ryan Nembhard didn't do anything that changes my opinion about him. He needs to play more and get acclimated to the NBA game. He will be a good bench piece. Possibly even a starter, but that's a reach. He would have a lot more assists if his counterparts would just make the basket.

Klay Thompson? I think he's better coming off the bench than as a starter. He's not cooked, but...

Brandon Williams is proving that he belongs on an NBA team. It took him awhile, but here he is. He's quick and flashy. At this point we need him starting.

My Dirkie candidates are:

Dwight Powell, Cooper Flagg.
Naji, Klay, and Branden are all honorable mentions.

My Dirkie goes to Cooper Flagg.

Damn. This is the first clear white flagg of the season. They knew the old-ass Clippers were there for the taking on a B2B, so barely fielded five players.

Greetings Mavs fans,

It's once again time to solicit donations to keep this website up and running with no ads. Back in April had to pay an invoice of $168.50 to cover hosting + domain renewal for the next 12 months.

I love him when he plays, but he can't stay on the court.  Does he become more durable as his body develops, or is he just never going to be physically capable of staying healthy playing NBA basketball?  What is his trade value now?  What is his trade value next year if he can't stay healthy and isn't under contract past that year?  He seems like a great dude and an ideal teammate, but this team cannot continue to hand out contracts to players who wear suits.  I feel like we need to move him, please talk me out of it.

Thompson might just cost us our own 2026 pick just to get rid of him after the last 30 seconds he had. That was damn pathetic.
