3 things to watch for when the Mavericks host the Spurs
The Mavericks will try to build on a win against the defending champions as the Spurs try to right the ship.
By Kevin Stump
https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2019/1...w-time-channel
The Dallas Mavericks enter the week at 7-5, fresh off a win against the defending NBA Champions who, as far as I know, returned every important piece from their title team and definitely didn’t lose anyone that mattered. What’s that? Oh, right.
Anywho, that Mavericks will play host to a familiar foe on Monday night: The Spurs de San Antonio.
It wasn’t so long ago that the San Antonio Spurs were 3-0. They come to the American Airlines Center sitting at 5-8, and losers of 5 straight. The last of those losses falling on the shoulders of Tim Duncan or Becky Hammon depending on who you listen to.
Dallas hopes to show they’ve figured some things out. San Antonio wants to prove they’re still the Spurs we’ve come to know and hate.
Here’s a few things to keep an eye on:
Can the Mavericks make a damn three-point shot?
In their last five games, the Mavericks have shot 60/203 on three-point field goals, good for 29.6 percent. On the season, the Orlando Magic are last in the league at 29.5 percent. The fact that Dallas has won two of those last five games is damn near a miracle. The Mavericks are currently at 32.9 percent through 12 games, putting them 23rd out of 30 teams. If they want to be a playoff team in 2020, the three-point shooting must improve. And, as the team somehow still ranks second in the league in offensive rating, any night when the threes are falling should lead to some huge scoring numbers for this team.
LaMarcus Aldridge: the Mavslayer
Ah, LaMarcus Aldridge, the Pride of Seagoville High. Aldridge has had a thing for lighting up the Mavericks going back to his days in Portland. He’s no longer a spring chicken, but Aldridge can still fill it up when the need arises. Aldridge’s scoring has dipped to 18.5 points per game this season, but even more concerning for San Antonio is his 6.5 per game rebounding average, the lowest since his rookie year when he was only playing 22 minutes per game. Aldridge’s minutes have been steady for the last five seasons, but he is attempting a career high in three pointers, which may be dragging him away from the basket. All of this being said, he did put up 30 points and 13 rebounds in a close loss to Portland on Saturday night.
Two good offenses, one below average defense, one bad defense
As mentioned above, Dallas currently sits at second in the league in offensive rating. San Antonio is not far behind at seventh. Defense is another story. Dallas has climbed to 18th in defensive rating, steadily scratching toward their ceiling of ‘average’. San Antonio on the other hand is sitting at 26th in the league, having not held an opponent below 110 points in nearly two weeks. These aren’t your grandpappy’s Spurs.
But the name on the front of the jerseys is still the same, so expect the unexpected.

I agree
Spurs have pretty much owned the mavs over the last 5 or 6 years
Every time you feel confident that the mavs could finally beat them pops always sticks it to Carlisle
And it's usually one of their role players who go off for a career night lol

Some of Doncic's statistics before today's game:
Drives / FG%
Doncic 18/69%
Rose 16/60%
Brogdon 17/56%
Harden 23/55%
Trae Young 19/54%
De Rozan 19/53%
And interesting....Luka is the only player (at the moment) in NBA history with statistic 29p/10r/9a and true shooting over 60% (60,9%).
First next with almost same statistic was Westbrook in MVP seasson 2016-17 32p/11r/10a, but with true shooting 55%!
But probably not enough for playoff (

The Brogdin thing is still a mystery to me, unless they didn’t like his medicals. Or he pushed for Indy? I don’t know why we didn’t just offer 25m on the moment FA opened. Or actually before FA opened I guess as the case may be. Even if Mil. matched we still could’ve had our pou pou platter of leftover crap we wound up with.

Pop will try to use aggressive inside play to intimidate the Mavs into falling back into their three point chucking. RC cannot let that happen. Keep driving, cutting and slashing to the rim. Luka, Wright, KP, and Powell need to keep getting inside and draw fouls. If this results in wide open three point looks, good. This is the way you beat the Spuds, if you beat them at all.

LMA and Trey Lyles are going to intimidate? Last year, they seemed to go at Luka with effectiveness. They sat on his passes, and I remember quite a few turnovers. They pretty much suck at defense so far this season, though.

LOL! This is so typical RC. He's going to do what he wants to do and eff you for thinking differently.
I guess he hasn't flushed away enough winnable games yet this early in the season to make it a sufficient coaching challenge for the Mavs to make the playoffs. /sarc

Lol, the FSSW broadcast is doing a blurb on Maxi's defensive success. Meanwhile, RC doesn't start him.

Luka & Curry's shoes look like a college textbook before finals.

Best start of the season. Finally starting lineup cohesion. Know why? The same starting lineup!

Nice to see Seth starting to turn things around. I have wondered how much that injured left hand has been hurting him. It would also go a long ways towards explaining why his hands have been less than stellar so far early in the season.

Yeah, and clearly it's something he has been told to do. For the last couple of games I've been noticing he's bringing the ball up the floor sometimes and has been much more agressive on offense, attempting to playmake even. Why Rick thinks that's a good idea is a mistery to me though

Well, Rick told that they want some other players to bring up the ball too, so Luka can save some energy. But i really dont know why DFS pumpfakes now all the time to drive...most of the time with terrible results.
Either take the shot or pass to the next one on the perimeter
