MAVS 132, BLAZERS 117

[mavsluvr]

Powell has had his best two  +/- games the last two games at +18 and +22 last night.  He's been positive 8 of the last 11 games.  Are he and KP figuring some things out, or is this a product of Luka missing 8 of those games (and THJ being out or demoted)?  His TS% in December is a Powell-like .760.  He's hit 40% of his threes in October, November and so far in December.  What would we be saying if he did all of this with his identity hidden.  In other words, if we didn't know he was Dwight Powell

Dan's long post above contains so many good points that I won't try to respond to all of them at once.


I think there is a lot of wisdom in the bolded sentence. We get so wrapped up in narratives about particular players that we can tend to see everything in terms of those stories.  

Iztok had a couple of comments on Powell this morning  --
