2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

I really like this set.   It is a little rigid right now...almost like a middle school team running it.  Hopefully it moves to more of a feel and a read and react fluid set.

But it has player movement, several players touch the ball, and it gets Luka in an attacking position and really lets him read the defense to get a real good look somewhere.

That's amazing thanks for finding and posting. With Luka and Brunson, there are ton of ways to attack any given defense. As both can shoot and penetrate, score in mid range, score around the rim. We have seen an amazing fit between the two making each other better. I like seeing plays like these where several players are involved. This is one of reasons i'm so high on Sabonis. We would see a lot more stuff like this and much more effective.

I'll endorse KP for Siakam.

Sounds like a leak to speed up the Myles Turner and John Collins deals.

He’s really turned his play around recently. He was looking like a bust for sure the first 3 months of the season.

Someone is probably posting this on a Knicks or Celtics board somewhere, talking themselves into the idea that Luka and Brunson don't get along just like we do with all the players we want the Mavs to get.

NY media: "Future Knick Jalen Brunson at odds with Luka Doncic; will he be able to work with future Knick superstar Zion Williamson?"

At first I was like "yeah sure", but you know what? You're 1000% right. It's pretty crazy we got not one but two guys other fan bases stay up all night trying to make fantasy trades for. Lets hope neither the Knicks nor Celtics ever get either one.

Is this because he is a great guy or because he cant play and this is how he sticks around? If it helps the Mavs……why not!!!!?

Those are my thoughts too. Guys that talk on the team and bring everyone together are invaluable. It's why I place so much value on Boban being here too. Theo can get as many two-ways as he wants if he brings that kind of an impact to the locker room. 

Does make me wonder if there are more talented players we can get that also fulfill that role though.
