Game 18 Dirkie Thread: KYRIE!

[Scott41theMavs]

I've tried different questions and/or combinations of ratings for the player who just knocks our pants off and helps with the win.  But...none of them really work.  I've also asked for opinions on what the question should be.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) we have Luka and Kyrie on the team and each, or either, of them can carry a rotten game to a win all by themselves--almost.  So, yes, Dinwiddie did play above expectations and for that reason I almost voted for him.  We have a good team and if they start hitting on all cylinders then I think we'll have a lot of choices every night.

The main reason I hesitate to give Dinwiddie a Dirkie is that this is the only kind of game he should get leash on - one where all of the other alternatives is out.

Our top 9 rotation when everyone is healthy should be:
Kyrie 35 Luka 18
Luka 17 Grimes 15 Exum 14
Klay 28 Grimes 10 Naji 10
PJ 30 Naji 18
Lively 28 Gafford 20

Luka 35
Kyrie 35
PJ 30
Klay 28
Lively 28
Naji 28
Grimes 25
Gafford 20
Exum 14

No room for Din or Hardy if everyone's healthy. Din is absolutely an insurance/injury player, whereas Hardy is a developmental prospect. Maxi is situational.
