Game 64 Dirkie Thread: Who Deserves to Win?

[Smitty]

Can’t believe I’m the only vote for Tim. He was wholly responsible for putting the game away. Checked in at the 2:41 mark of Q3 with a 9 point lead. Scored the remaining 9 points of the quarter and then hit 1 FG and assisted 2 more in the first 56 seconds of Q4. In that stretch, the Mavs outscored Detroit 16 to 2. And Tim scored 11 of the 16 as well as assisting the other 5.

From up 9 to up 23 in roughly 3 and a half minutes. At that point, the game was iced. And it was all Tim’s doing. Give that man his Dirkie.

He did play well. Finally looked like an NBA player. I called it before tip. Can’t keep Timmy down forever. He even passed the ball a few times. Really nice to see.

Kidd is finally playing Tim correctly. He has 4 players to fill roughly 70 minutes at the 1-3 with Luka getting ~38 and Kyrie ~36. That’s 17 mpg for Exum, Green, DJJ, Hardaway. 

Green is usually the one who plays more than 17 most nights but depending on what the team needs and/or who’s playing well you can give more or less to each.

Tim Hardaway Jr in March
@ BOS 20 minutes
vs PHI 14 minutes
vs IND 13 minutes
vs MIA 20 minutes
@ DET 18 minutes

Exactly 17 mpg
