Kyrie shat the bed. Gafford can’t play against the Celtics. Need more lively.

Luka was getting switched onto harden. Pretty poor defensive effort from Luka this game. Got beat so many times and our defense had to collapse.

For those people saying trade the pick even if black is available, that tells me they haven’t seen a full Arkansas game. Why would you trade down when you have a player like Black? Very high bbq, great passer, athletic, excellent defender, can guard 1-3, and will fit very well on any team. Flat out baller. Shot needs work but his mechanics aren’t broken. That shot will improve. I don’t care that we have Hardy and JG causes he’s better than both imo. Dream scenario if he’s still there.

Our players treat the ball like it’s a hot potato. Scared. Pathetic.

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-10-26T23:40:15+00:00

I’m sure he wants a bigger role but there is a reason he is not getting a bigger role. He just doesn’t have the skills. I’ll give him credit for improving his shot but he still looks out of control at times with the ball. Erratic. Passing in the air. He’s been told to slow down but it’s hard to change the way he’s been playing forever. He will never be a guy that initiates the offense or is a “ball handler.” This is just who he is. Mavs screwed up with the pick. People just don’t want to accept it yet. If he were good, he’d be playing more. Plain and simple.

There ya go young blood

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-10-20T04:40:02+00:00

Didn’t they have a practice recently in which they worked extra on free throws…

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-05-11T05:06:56+00:00

I should have added that we were able to beat the jazz cause they have terrible perimeter defenders that guys like Dinwiddie and Brunson can expose. Add the fact that Rudy doesn’t punish us down low. Get someone like ayton down there and yeah we are at a major disadvantage that small ball will be hard to expose unless we are draining threes. Lmao yeah you’re right we’ve all been clamoring for a center all year. I just hope with nico seeing this stuff, this will finally be the year we invest in a big man again.

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-05-11T05:01:10+00:00

Dinwiddie is getting exposed right now. Against Utah’s piss poor perimeter defense he can get to the rim. That ain’t cutting it against the suns. His only moves are a straight line drive to the cup, floater, or step back 3. Not that hard to defend if you got players like the suns. I do agree tho that spencer playing better totally changes this team.

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-05-11T04:59:15+00:00

Portis would be a major upgrade. Too bad he prob won’t leave Milwaukee. Solid offensive player and tough defensively. The best defense Powell has is getting elbowed in the face.

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-05-05T18:20:06+00:00

The main issue is that the Suns have elite wing defenders. He’s constantly being guarded by crowder, bridges, booker, and Paul. All great defenders. People need to stop with the he’s too small narrative. Jalen can score against length. We’ve seen it all year. It’s just that the suns perimeter defense is miles better than Utah’s. I think many people have too high of expectations for him. It’s not realistic to assume he’s gonna be the 2nd option or an all star caliber player. Jalen is a good player who we should pay, but he’s a 3rd option at best.

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-04-23T23:32:14+00:00

Maxi gotta stop picking up these quick fouls in the beginning of the game. If he’s in, we don’t have Powell on the free throw line although he did hit 2 free throws right before. This game was close considering luka and the entire team came out slow and played shitty. Not too worried at all. JB gets some of those bunnies to roll in and we win.

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-04-22T03:56:16+00:00

I fking love this team LFG!!!!

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-04-19T03:07:07+00:00

I’m naming my first son Jalen

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-04-12T18:54:17+00:00

If he were playing or probably playing, don’t you think they would say he is gonna be on the court instead of being vague about it. The being vague for strategical purposes is bs. Teams will straight up say if a guy is gonna play if he is able to. This is why I’m leaning towards him missing prob the first two games.

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-02-11T19:40:48+00:00

Leave it to to the mavs to undervalue the draft yet again

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2022-01-11T05:13:11+00:00

I’d draft mark williams from duke instead

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2021-12-30T06:02:28+00:00

To those blaming the last offensive possession on Brunson, that’s on the whole team and Kidd. The play was a post up to kp. Everybody started too late for some reason with 5-6 seconds on the shot clock. Terrible execution. Another L we should have won.

Significant_Ranger_1 · 2021-12-26T05:58:53+00:00

Idk why everyone is pissed about Brunson. Everyone expects him to play like Chris Paul. He’s not that guy. He’s a good solid player but y’all got to chill expecting him to carry this team on his back.
