2019 - 2020 Dallas Mavericks: Eastern Bloc > Western Conference

[Dropout 355]

Looking good. Let’s get this blowout so I can go to sleep.

[Pato del Muerto 52,526]

Offense pretty efficient thus far 

[RexWilson 1,348]

Feeling it from deep.

KP is going to need a few games to get back in to the swing of things. Getting no lift on his jumper

[crum 525]

nice seeing porzingis actually attack the rim. really hope they start dropping soon

[RexWilson 1,348]

Loving Delon's hustle.

Luka gotta work on the free throws

[Happy Gilmore 1,001]

Jfc.... Unbelievable... 

[Pato del Muerto 52,526]

Shots not falling now. 
 

17-0 run cuts lead from 25 to 8 in 4 minutes. Every damn game. 
should have been a comfortable win.

Any time shit goes cold/gets cluster fucked, I wish JJ would get a few minutes to try and change the flow.

[Pato del Muerto 52,526]

Gonna need 130 just to win.

Our bench is about to end this shit once dame has to sit. 

[Pato del Muerto 52,526]

Refs going nuts now. 
i think a missed goaltending off the backboard then a missed basket interference on melo. 
 

neither are reviewable?

Edited January 24, 2020 by Pato del Muerto

[LurkingHorn 1,066]

This is a screw job by the refs. Clear goaltend on Wright’s shot and clear melo goaltend on the other end. 4 point swing. 

[LurkingHorn 1,066]

Great block by KP. Brunson has been a difference maker tonight. Is dame going to play the whole 4th quarter? Geez. 

[LurkingHorn 1,066]

These refs have missed three obvious goaltendings. I mean wtf. This isn’t that hard. We should be up 22. 

[Pato del Muerto 52,526]

There’s another block after the backboard that wasn’t called. All in Portland’s favor. 

[Pato del Muerto 52,526]

If delon Wright can get one more point, Dallas will have 8 players in double figures 

[LurkingHorn 1,066]

Good win. Luka wasn’t super great for his standards but had a lot of help tonight. Good to see KP have a good shooting night 

I can’t believe Portland let DL play 42 minutes. I know they’re desperate but that is just ludicrous. 

[CBT 1,282]

Delon doing what Delon do. Nice to see Jalen have a good game too.

[CBT 1,282]

T&Ps DP

[Get ln My Van 927]

Traded Isaiah Roby to OKC for Justin Patton. Meh

Clear a roster spot.  Another move coming 

[Drew 2,494]

Yeah that was obvious a cap/roster move.  They'll probably add someone on the street(like a Noah) or just have the spot free for a trade.

update

[Drew 2,494]

Good move.  He may be a little better on a better team with Luka getting him the ball in a roll man situation.  Worth the late 2nd.  Just glad they didn't give up GSW 2nd for him.

[Vic Mackey 47,082]

Not bad at all. He can definitely fill in for this season with Powell being out. 

[immortal13 4,059]

Hopefully Carlisle can light a fire under his ass. He has been pretty disappointing in the league so far, given his ability. That said his career avg ppg is almost 10 with 6.5 boards in 24 min, so he is definitely better than nothing. I'm hoping the Mavs can add a wing that plays good defense before the deadline.

[Post Oak 20,246]

He's was someone I had thought about during FA.  Hopefully he can keep his head down and doesn't get all Nerlens-y

[conVINCEd 21,469]

For a throwaway 2nd round pick it’s a good gamble.

[TommyGufano 6,021]

Idealized version of WCS is a great fit. We'll see which version we get

[Zepol87 9,188]

For a throwaway 2nd round pick it’s a good gamble.

Yep this was my takeaway. For that pick? Fuck it give it a shot

[Bigpoppapump 532]

Yeah I can't argue with this, cheap gamble.

[immortal13 4,059]

Rick will coach him up.

[CBT 1,282]

Playing with Luka etc will be huge for him.

[immortal13 4,059]

 

Big Willie style!

 

[washparkhorn 9,939]

Good pickup for the Mavs who needed an interior defender. Gets KP back to the 4 spot. I think WCS will do well with all the talent around him in Dallas.  
 

His appearance doesn’t match his temperament but he has the ability to play strong D.   Hope it works out for all involved. Nice move. 

[anacardo 217]

Looks like a great rotation piece for sick value tbh.   Super cheap too?  Not sure what the Woyas were thinking.

Yep that's still the need, and Shams says that, and a cheap Big is what they were looking to do before the Trade Deadline.  1 is checked off.

Besides they pretty  much kept ALL the assets we think they have for a decent move.  The GSW 2nd rounder.  Lee's expiring contract.  And the rest of Barnes Trade Exception.  The combination of those should net us at least a rotational Wing that can pair with DFS to defend the wings.

My concern as well. How long before he his in Rick's dog house?

[RexWilson 1,348]

 

[CBT 1,282]

WCS is coming into a great team atmosphere, great coach, great staff. If he can’t fit in, it’s his loss. And dallas hasn’t given up much for the risk. I think he will realize playing with Luka etc will only help him with his next contract.

[CBT 1,282]

Donnie and the FO are doing work.

[Post Oak 20,246]

If WCS just plays hard and rolls hard and Luka and Rick will make him a ton of money

From what I read, they are dumping salary to get close to or under the cap. Their fans think Dallas fleeced them. I would say that is a solid win for the Mavs. 

[TommyGufano 6,021]

Does Brandan Wright still exist? I'd imagine his athleticism isn't what it was when he was 27, but I used to love watching that guy dunk everything in sight. If I remember correctly, his efficiency was comical when we dealt him

[Drew 2,494]

He's been on ESPN a lot.  But Rick and this offense made him a lot of money as well...he was Powell before Powell(maybe even better)

[CBT 1,282]

Weird 4pm game against a super hot Jazz team. Tough matchup for KP versus Gobert. Nice start on O though.

[CBT 1,282]

I love Delon Wright so much.

[Pato del Muerto 52,526]

Wright, dfs, Luka, curry, and kleba are not a good rebounding 5, so when they are missing shots too it’s a worthless lineup. 

[TommyGufano 6,021]

Luka's FT% rapidly descending to last year's number is an unwelcome development.

[Pato del Muerto 52,526]

Looking like another final 8 fade. 

[Party_Taco 3,742]

Missed FTs are a fucking killer.
