If we don't keep him, then I'm going to cut someone.

KP not playing.. So we are even..

EricaLubarsky · 12-27-2020, 05:34 PM

I remember when I defended Wright because he was the long, defensive-minded secondary playmaker that Doncic needed.

I was wrong, but we found that guy in J-Rich

I can see that.. Its a more positive look at it. Herky jerky may also apply. BUT, That semi steal and breakaway dunk looked good.

NeedlesKane · 12-27-2020, 05:34 PM

Gotta celebrate every time we have a record high lead... 55!!!

NeedlesKane · 12-27-2020, 05:34 PM

Boban for +57!

DevinHarriswillstart · 12-27-2020, 05:35 PM

WCS and Powell have played the same number of minutes. Progress.

NeedlesKane · 12-27-2020, 05:35 PM

Dang... I want +62... I don't think it's happening.

Ill give you that, but KL is the better player...untii proven otherwise.

Terry doesnt look like someone who will produce this year.

Timidness and NBA don't mix.

He'll be fine in a few years....this is a guy we need to be patient with.
Maybe Burke's eventual replacement.

Not saying he's bad. Just that he's really making some dumb decisions and not showing his one skill (shooting).

DevinHarriswillstart · 12-27-2020, 05:43 PM

Can't believe Johnson can play pg. What a luxury.

BPo001 · 12-27-2020, 05:45 PM

I guess I’m listening to the NBA tv broadcasters, but Jim Jackson and this other guy are terrible. They have been bickering back and fourth all game like 8 year olds. Zero chemistry between these guys.

He’s looked very bad so far. I don’t remember anything positive in the preseason.

When Miami played short handed games, which seemed to happen a lot. He often would become the secondary ball handler.

Yeau that was tough to endure, at least we were kicking some ass tbh

DevinHarriswillstart · 12-27-2020, 05:51 PM

I just think this goes back to the playoffs. That's why it matters so much to make the playoffs in the first place. We live rent free in their heads.

I think more physical development, summer league, training camp, preseason and a year in the g-league will do him wonders.

Don't they have him on a similar deal as Brunson?

He'll be fine.

SMC0007 · 12-27-2020, 06:02 PM

I'm not worried about Terry at all. He was never going to make or break any moment during any of this season. Probably the same for Green.

In fact I would trade them both for Bane...right now.

Pre-draft analysis by many stated that it would take Green and Terry a few years to develop.
Unfortunately for them they were drafted by a deep team so the opportunities will be few if at all this season...especially in this unique covid situation.
I doubt if Bane would have had any more opportunity given the situation.

Hell I'd highly consider swapping THJ for him. Lol

DevinHarriswillstart · 12-27-2020, 06:46 PM

Mavs would have still won had they not scored in the second half. Wow.

EricaLubarsky · 12-27-2020, 06:49 PM

Green can honestly contribute now. Just needs some coaching. Amazing physical tools and pretty decent IQ. He also had a fairly developed offensive toolbox.

Insane. I wonder if that’s ever happened before.

I went and watched tape on him after the pickup, and there was a lot of offense he was generating at the top of the key. I shrugged it off and thought “fat chance in hell Rick let’s him do that”

But come on man Leonard single handily destroys the Mavs all the time and you know this....

Having said that I'm glad he missed the game because the Mavs needed to get out of this funk real quick.

I think he meant it more like both teams were missing a huge piece of their teams. I agree with you, I just don't think he was making that exact comparison.

Bryan_Wilson · 12-27-2020, 09:12 PM

Can we add a 50point win option going forward for gameday polls in honor of Playoff P and the Clippers?

I'll add it to the list every time we play the Clippers

Melonhead · 12-27-2020, 10:02 PM

These every other day games and b2b games have me worried that KP won’t establish any rhythm this season. Minute restriction, a lot of nights off etc. Not to mention he probably doesn’t return til end of January.

Yeah, but it seems people still downplay what KP brings.

I mean, we're going to go from DP/WCS to KP. That is rather huge.

EricaLubarsky · 12-27-2020, 10:09 PM

Name a more overrated player than PG

SMC0007 · 12-27-2020, 10:20 PM

Whoops wrong thread.

Rick hated when Dirk did that.

I know you’re engaging in a bit of hyperbole here, but that’s just nuts. I’d venture to guess that Bane would look like a turd out there if we had him as a 20yr old with a condensed camp and no summer league. I would hope they chose BPA and not best right now. Green will be a starter here in a few years— book it. Bane is much closer to his ceiling than Green is. Green just turned 20 a month ago. Personally, I would’ve preferred Precious to Josh Green but I’m not unhappy with the pick. We aren’t privy to all the info they have. Hopefully they chose Green because of some combination of skill, fit, work ethic, athletic traits with need and readiness to contribute wayyyy down the list.

EricaLubarsky · 12-27-2020, 11:29 PM

I think Green is solid and will be a solid rotation guy in his rookie season and has the potential to be a star or at least solid starter for us in coming seasons.

He’s a great locker room guy, physical specimen, solid defender, gives excellent energy, and has a well-rounded offensive toolkit. I really like the kid (and the pick) for where it fell (18)

Terry on the other hand has the potential to be a scrapper defensively, secondary playmaker, and excellent spot-up guy. His absolute ceiling is Jason Terry but more likely his ceiling is Seth Curry and probably 1-2 years from even able to contribute in a game that isn’t a blowout. He could just as easily be a complete bust.

I like Bane a lot and would have been happy with him, but I like Green more at 18 and he wasn’t available at 31/36. I’d definitely do Bey/Terry for Bane but not Green/Terry.
