Thank God for JB, Maxi, and FN.
Luka just does not look right this year....that might be his worst half I have ever seen.

I don't think it happens due to our lack of ball handlers and also some comments about wanting Hardaway to become an allstar by the coaching staff (he won't), but I have been wanting Jalen starting for a while. Our starting lineup, even with KP, is so passive. No one besides Luka can put pressure on a defense. The offense runs really well with Luka and Jalen imo.
I just am not sure how the starting lineup we begin with is not going to struggle to start games. Tonight was even worse. Because we had no rim protection and on offense wasn't getting anything in the lane.
Kleber was excellent as well. For me he is a heavy minute bench player. But he could be the best option as our fifth starter. It is just so hard though. All of our bigs are specialists. Kleber is probably the best, but I am worried about over using him during the regular season.

He just looks a little off so far this year and that impacts the team because he has the ball so much. Everyone watches Luka and when he is not all world it really impacts the rest of our role players.

Are other players struggling right now that played in the Olympics?

New ref rule targets Luka, no doubt. But he’s got to get better for this team to excel. He’s managed to clear all other hurdles. My money’s on him to clear this one too.
Meanwhile Brunson is pissed that all of you kept saying all summer how we needed a playmaker. That man’s about to get paid.

I swear can we call it the Rondo trade again, cause at this stage Powell hurts the Mavs more than Rondo ever has.

We should let him and Dorian walk, so we can Powell 10M again for not being good at defending, rebounding, shot blocking or shooting.

Is Frank now ahead of Sterling for regular rotation minutes?

I will say this:
The refs swallowing their whistles more and letting the defense PLAY defense is really helping the flow of the game and its competitiveness so far. REALLY like the change.

The plus minus numbers tell the whole story this game. Luka -24, THJ -24, Powell -23. Maxi +23, Brunson +19, FRANKIE N +24.

He is making the case. I want to see more of Sterling. His shot has been off, but I want to get a closer look at him. I think Frank is clearly ahead of Josh Green though.

Powell just not strong enough inside. Constantly getting bodied on what should be makeable buckets

I would take Poetl, Murray, and Vassell on my team any day. Great players.

Mavs defense is SOOOOOOO improved this year. Fun to watch!
