If Kleber / Powell get significant minutes in this game, no way Mavs win.

Get them to the g-league.

lmao

Good to see breakitdown is still alive at least

 

[wildchild88]

Mavs won’t close this series without Lively. You can’t give Powell major minutes.

They also seem to be saving Gafford and PJ for later in the game.

Right now they are playing something that resembles the old mavs line up, and it stinks.

Never forget. Must suck to not be jacked/cut enough to open a water bottle lmao.

Kleber is brought in as a 6'10" defensive player, if he gives you a couple 3's its just extra. With DLive out the Mavs need Kleber's presence in the paint

Dante "2k Legend" Exum is activating.

I know why they're trying to use him but he sucks.

Green and Exum can stay though, they actually have a skillset.

I don't agree, but we'll see. He's rusty from the layoff maybe, but he sometimes hits 5 or 6 three's in a game and is an above average rim defender.

That’s fool’s gold though. I’ve always said Kleber sucked since the previous WCF run. He has been bad defensively the past two seasons for whatever reason and has been bad offensively except a good game from 3 rarely. Hopefully getting over the injury and seeing how good the team has been playing elevates his play. But he’s not reliable at all.

CAnt finally playing like he might be the next Craig Hodges.

DJJ pick up for the mavs was better value than a KFC zinger box.

 

[MM808]

Why are they putting Ant on Luka? He is getting abused everywhere on the court lol

Mavs got DJJ basically for free, 1 year 2.4 million, and he turned out to be part of the starting 5 for the team.

Massive choke job by KAT, definitely meets to invest in a sports psychologist.

Yeah he's a surprisingly versatile player, can play above the rim, shoot threes, put the ball on the floor and a great defender..

He can even make plays sometimes, he's great.

They only signed him to 1 year but he said he wants to return so I suspect Mavs are going to sign him to at least a 3 year deal.

How long are Gafford's and PJ contracts?

 

[White Whale]

The Mavericks play better in the second half especially the 4th quarter. The Timberwolves have yet to stop Luka and Kyrie in the 4th of any game.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Wolves should trade KAN to the Lakers.
