When teams start game planning for the Mavs, they will laugh all the way to a win as Powell tries to "space the floor" with 3 point shooting. How many hand in the face 3 pointers has Powell taken this year? I don't remember 1 because defenses don't need to close out on him to defend his shot. The only reason defenders might go out is if there is a switch on the pick. That is to defend the ball handler and not allow him the open 3, not for Powell.

A guy who has at least a little offensive game and esp can set picks and roll to the basket is the only offense they really need to make up for DP's current contribution to the starters. That guy I just described who also has a 3 point shot is called an all star. We don't need an all star, and the offense doesn't need to play 5 out. How much better does the #1 offense in the history of the game need to be?
Mike, Dan and even Tony is very proud of our offense. I hate dat guy (said in a Gru voice).
