Tall athletic center making a difference as soon as he enters? What a crazy idea

He's unplayable when paired with Brunson.
They are too small on defense together and they play the same game on offense.
It's kind of like trying to make KP and Powell work together in defense it just doesn't fit LOL

Tough decision for RC
Do you bring back KP or ride the defense of WCS?

If we’d mastered combining players. We’d have Bradley’s defense and Fortson’s defense

Wait why? There is no defending a deep three. If you hug him he blows by you and gets someone else an easier shot. Best thing is to let him take a bad three.

Ladies and Gentleman
I think Rick needs to consider trying to make this WCS/KP frontline work together
WCS is a fantastic big in terms of playing pick n roll defense and he brings good energy all the time.
They need to be like New Orleans and figure out how to maximize their two best rim protectors o the floor together.
That stretch with Powell in vs Cappella almost got us killed on the boards.

I hear you, outside of a stop, I would rather a two there than a shot he has showed he can make and more clock would have ran off.

Nope he picked up 5 fouls early in the 4th and to my surprise RC just decided to ride WCS who played a helluva game on both ends of the floor BTW.
I wish him and KP could share the floor together more often

come on now your being too harsh on him.
He picked up some fouls tonight but he did some very good things when he did get to play.
Obviously, I'd like for his PnR defense to get better but hey he's 7'3
In a perfect world I wish he had WCS's foot work

I can't believe we won... KP is better than he's looked, I think the knee is bothering him more than we thought or he's still working himself into shape.

He's fine
He's moving well. I don't think the knee is an issue anymore TBH
He's been on a really good hot streak in FEB and tonight he just got exposed too much on the perimeter defensively.
He just gets into trouble when teams attack him in PNR defense.
That was his only issue tonight.

Easy for me to say now, but was never on board with the DM hate. He’s definitely not a passing guard, but his scoring is varied and with efficiency.

Yep
I think Brunson is solid when you pair him up with Luka and he doesn't have to run the team.
It's not so much that I don't like Brunson it's more about who RC plays him with at times which can lead to bad defense and offense.
I like him next to bigger players in the backcourt with him for defensive purposes and a true PG on the floor with him offensively.
Put him on the floor with THJ and Burke all at the same time and your just asking for trouble IMO.

Who is a good matchup for him? I honestly don’t know who he can handle. Lots of matchup excuses and I can’t think of one guy he gets the better of. That’s not max salary talent.

Perseverance finished that game. Some shot making, trust from Luka, Brunson and ThJ showed out. Good game overall with exception of the 3rd quarter where every Hawk seemed to score on Maxi fairly easily

Didn't he work Nas Reid just the other night?
Maybe he didn't. I still get your point, though.

2nd Defensive Belt of the year for Willie
WCS brings needed boost
Willie Cauley-Stein did not play by coach’s decision for two straight games entering Wednesday night. The seven-footer earned a spot in the starting lineup when the Mavs were dealing with their health and safety protocol issues, but Dwight Powell was the preferred option in the Mavs’ last two wins.
Trill returned to the rotation with a vengeance against the Hawks. He had 14 points and six rebounds in 23 minutes of action. Cauley-Stein was five of six from the field and made all four of his free throws. The seven-footer earned the Defensive Player of the Game belt on Wednesday night too.
