Game 31 Dirkie Thread: Maxi Kleber!

[ballsrchr]

Seems like we're in an alternate universe. We won the game. Had 5 players in double figures. Yet...who deserves my Dirkie?

P.J. and Naji were ejected. Gafford played Gafford-like. Kyrie started like a house on fire...but cooled off. Klay Thompson? Hmmmm.

Dinwiddie played ok, but I still feel that he needs to go for the best team play rather than call his own number.

Quentin Grimes never got uncorked, but had a few good plays.

Jaden Hardy? Oh, he's not on the poll. He has fallen out of favor and/or is trade bait.

I'm just surprised that the Mavs won the game...to be honest.

I guess I'll have to go with an outlier for the Dirkie. Maxi Kleber!...come on down...

Maxi!!

Yes, Maxi. 6 points, a rebound, 2 assists, and a steal in the 4th quarter. That’s a clutch performance. Give the man his flowers.

Got to give it to Maxi. Great game for him. For all the talk we give Kidd (me included) I am almost at the stage of giving him the benefit of the doubt. Even if the decision doesn’t work out.

Klay didn’t have huge stats but his a few huge shots, but I thought he was really good overall.

Din and Grimes also deserve some mention.

Not Dirk worthy and no stats, but Dwight deserves a mention. For a good team, he probably should not make a regular rotation. But last night is why you want him on your team. He is always going to be ready and play hard and can make a positive impact more often than not when his number is called.

Btw, Kyrie had a low key bad game. He played hard but several turnovers. If you take away the early 3-4 threes to start the game and then realize he finished 6-21….that means he missed a ton after his hit start.

Yet we still won the game--even with the bad game from Kyrie.  This actually should make us feel better about the "team".  I don't know.  This game had a kind of "Alice in Wonderland" feel to it.  The next game will be interesting.  Maybe give us a better idea of how the team will play without Luka--even when multiple key players have bad games, or get ejected.  I thought P.J. Washington's ejection was sort of pity pat anyway.
