Mavs vs Grizzlies GDT (Back in Action) - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Dallas Mavericks vs. Memphis Grizzlies: How to watch
Start time: 7:30 p.m. CT or 8:30 p.m. ET

How to watch: Fox Sports Southwest (Dallas market), Fox Sports Southeast (Memphis market)

The historic winter storms and power outages, which prompted the NBA to postpone two Mavericks games, created a pseudo training camp for Dallas. When the Mavericks return to American Airlines Center on Monday night against Memphis, they will have practiced four times in the last five days, a midseason rarity.

“We used this time to analyze a lot of stuff and put a lot of [focus] on defense,” Kleber said. “Work specifically on defensive stuff, communication, just getting better overall. We didn’t have this amount of practice time yet, so it was good for us.”

Well, I hope all the practice will pay dividends. I just hope they worked on blocking out, rebounding, and moving without the ball.

EricaLubarsky · 02-22-2021, 12:55 PM

KP has to be better defensively.

SMC0007 · 02-22-2021, 02:54 PM

Kp is questionable - Back.

Melonhead · 02-22-2021, 03:56 PM

Lol at 8 days off and KP is questionable. Team will have to allow a week for him to ease back into game shape Im sure.

Trade this guy at the end of the season.

of course

SMC0007 · 02-22-2021, 03:59 PM

Can we get the start times for these GDTs? I'm sure there are other losers that default look here first to see what time it starts.

I'd be ok by the deadline this season.

Rather than #6, KP should just wear a ? for his number.

purplefrog · 02-22-2021, 04:40 PM

When KP plays, he gets injured. When he rests for a week, he suffers from back tightness. I guess the good news is that he is only costing the Mavs $30M per year for the next three years.

FreshJive · 02-22-2021, 06:52 PM

Justise Winslow made his Memphis debut last game after being traded there last season. Played 21 minutes and put up 14 shots. Incoming Mav opponent scrub bump alert.

Porzingis officially out.

29, 31, 33, 36. MILLION DOLLARS

His play is inconsistent, but the injuries/soreness is what pushes this deal from bad to real bad. It sucks to get teased with phenomenal play then back to earth with a slump or missing games from health. I'm just expecting we ride this thing ALLLL the way out because it's a sunk cost and I doubt the Mavs make a trade that is less the value they paid on him. They'de instead bleed out slowly over 4 more years.

It can be a slight hassle but it's something.

NeedlesKane · 02-22-2021, 09:26 PM

KP, you think Dirk didn't play through tightness in his back or most of the problems that you've had? Getting tired of this guy. He and Rick can hopefully find a new home.

I'm sure he still wanted to play.

I read an article where KP said the decisions to sit out games isn't his call.

The team makes those decisions.

SMC0007 · 02-22-2021, 09:40 PM

I'm sure he wanted to Play too. And wanted to come back before he was cleared on his Injuries. I just wish another team wanted to take on this risk and make him a focal point of their team. I was on board with the move but I have slid off the wagon.

Dallas41 · 02-22-2021, 09:51 PM

Just when you think Luka's Ft issues are behind him he responds by going 1-7 LOL

Dallas41 · 02-22-2021, 10:24 PM

Luka Ft shooting looking like Shaq's percentage tonight

and man Bane can really stroke it

Not sure what you're watching! He shoots the 3 ball real nice though.

tap2390 · 02-22-2021, 10:31 PM

Probably Mavs most consistent game defensively all season. They've rotated and contested shots well.

EricaLubarsky · 02-22-2021, 10:44 PM

Grizz playing some decent defense

Mavs letting off the gas

Lols

SMC0007 · 02-22-2021, 11:20 PM

Bane is exactly who I thought he was. Meanwhile Green is dnp on G league. It's a bit strawman, but I'm in a win win position and will probably remain so this season at least. So for right now...weeeeeee!

SMC0007 · 02-22-2021, 11:56 PM

Luka streak at 25pts is over or what

Going 2/9 from the FT line can do that to you

I highly doubt it. At this rate I'm betting they trade him as soon as they can for anything they can get, even if all they get back is garbage.

Well, we have kept Powell and Messley for too long, I'm probably missing a few others too. We are kinda loyal to a fault. If we hang on to guys like that, then I don't have hope the MBT will make any 'knee jerk' reactions with a Max player.

I hope you are more right than me!

With the way Lavine is carried that Chicago team I doubt they even entertain any trade offers for him.

But If I'm Dallas I'd take a chance anyway and offer KP, THJ and Green for Lavine and Markkanen.

I don’t know why you think this would have a chance.

FreshJive · 02-23-2021, 02:36 AM

I still don't understand why the Mavs didn't try to sign Vucevic.

tap2390 · 02-23-2021, 08:22 AM

I’m honestly pretty tired of everyone having rookie envy of other team’s rookies. Our top two picks were some of the youngest guys in the draft. They were never going to contribute this year. Give them a chance.

Bane is more than two years older than Terry and Green. He came in with a developed skill set and a limited ceiling. We knew that. We drafted someone like that the previous year (Brunson) over the younger guy with more upside (Gary Trent).

I honestly believe we got three NBA starters this draft. I guess time will tell.

Im not in disagreement that we may have 3 starters in the draft. That said, ImO The limited ceiling is a fallacy. It was said about Brunson and many said it about Luka. Both have gotten better and no one truly knows where their ceiling is. I think it's strawman to say certain guys have low ceiling entering the league.

That's what I don't get.

Bad teams are looking for that one player they can build around. That seems like LaVine. Why do they trade away their core and only bright spot for guys who are not even in our core (Doncic)?

Thats not going to net Markannen and Lavine. Likely Won't even net Lavine.
