GDT: game 60 - Mavs (34-25) at Celt (46-12) 6:30

Here's my thing, and I know it's all of your thing too.

Nobody actually hates Powell, Maxi, or THJ. They just aren't used properly and get away with playing poorly no matter what. They finally got the memo with Powell at least.

It just sets a bad precedent when Kidd said he would put Gafford in a position to succeed. Bull. Shit.

Has nothing to do with losing this game either. Yes, we lose anyway. I would rather lose knowing we got 8-10 rebounds from Gafford vs hoping Maxi hits 1 three pointer. If Maxi's mobility helped us win, then I'd be all for it. It doesn't.

Agreed with all. To add: It was shocking to watch a clip yesterday of Dirks final season / Lukas first season and Powell was the starter. And they JUST benched him in 2024. Amazing stuff.
