Game 6: DAL (2-3) @ DET (3-2) | 9 PM CT

Powell has to be the best 4th string center in the league. Hustles, plays under control, no wild 3-pointers.

Well, so far this season he's been no lower than 3rd center, and more than once has been 2nd. I don't love him being 2nd, but I'm WAY ok with him being 3rd, personally.

[KillerLeft]

Gafford back in. Nice hustle play from him there to get them an extra possession.

[KillerLeft]

That's TWO offensive boards they've given up after free throw misses. Ugh.

[david75090]

Losing most of the 50/50 balls. They don't seem alert.

[KillerLeft]

Nice cut by Flagg, nice pass by Dlo. You can tell it's all there - the timing of everything is just a little off.

[KillerLeft]

Flagg is just so uncomfortable on offense tonight. I literally can't believe Kidd is complicating this kid's life by asking him to play PG, even for one minute of a game.

[david75090]

I guess Kidd has Flagg's long-term development in mind. If you're making an souffle, you have to break a few eggs, or some such.

[david75090]

Successfully cooled Klay by moving him out of that corner where he was making all of his shots.

[KillerLeft]

I like that they're starting to generate more good 3's. I'm not sure whether that's the offense improving, the DET defense or just AD not stopping the ball, but I like it. They'll start going in if they keep getting looks like that.

[david75090]

Lots of gasping for breath. Mexico City must be in a higher elevation.

That, or maybe Williams successfully got his motas onto the flight this time.

Lots of gasping for breath. Mexico City must be in a higher elevation.

They said it was over 7000 feet

[david75090]

Mexico City, 7,200 feet above sea level. Denver, 5,280.

[KillerLeft]

I'm sorry, but Russell is generating good shots. They're just not making them. There wasn't anyone within 10 feet of Flagg on that wing 3 attempt.

[KillerLeft]

It hasn't been a great game, and I am in no way confident the Mavericks will win, but it's POSITIVE that they're starting to get up a competitive amount of 3pt shots. Good ones, too. Despite the bad shooting, this game has been more fun to watch. I know it's only DET, but the Mavs are also missing their best three players.

[KillerLeft]

I know he has been injured and missed all of camp, and that he's got a long way to go to get into shape, but Gafford looks TERRIBLE.

[david75090]

Mavs behind by 10 all of a sudden.

[KillerLeft]

Feels like we're on about at 25-3 Detroit run.

[Chicagojk]

A few real bad runs from Williams. Was last game a mirage?

The non scoring Mavs are back. Have like 2 points in five minutes. Turned a 9 point lead into a deficit. Can’t win like that.
