I probably would have skipped that game if Dirk wasn't announcer. As it turned out, it was probably one of my top 2 games of the year to watch. Really fun.
I liked both Chriss and Pinson. It was only one game but lets see if they can be productive in any minutes they get. To be honest, I think Jaquiri spot should be looked at. He doesn't look ready to help at all in NBA action. I wonder if that could be a spot the Mavs look at if either Chriss or Pinson produce. I mentioned in the George King thread if we could take anything from the type of guys the Mavs signed moving forward. Probably not, but still. Just imagine better versions of Pinson and Chriss on this team. A 6'5 to 6'8 wing who is a natural passer, good defender and hustle guy and a big, physical athletic 4/5. The other guys they signed are long guards/wings who shot good percentages from three. Chriss lob plays were way off but that is mainly a timing issue, but I really liked some of his big boy rebounds late. Just went up and got the ball.
At the start of the fourth, I felt it was the same old Mavs. I am starting to think the fourth quarter is a mental hurdle for the team. The offense grinds to a halt. But last night give them credit. They didn't panic and tried to keep the pace fast when the opportunities were there and they had a stretch with really good defense.
I wish I could half as cool as DFS. Swing, Swing. If I said that, people would slowly leave the room. Ha
I loved Dirk. Fun game. I found it interesting what he said about Jalen. Said how everyone in the organization wants him back but FA is tricky. Seems like the Mavs need to sell Jalen on being here. I hope they can do it.
