Game Day Thread - Game 5 Mavs @ Suns 9:00 PM

I said this earlier but shout out to Monty Williams for benching two of his rotation players at this time of the series

Kidd really needs to consider doing the same thing with Powell and Dinwiddie

Frank seems to be more under control than Dinwiddie on both ends of the floor and Chriss can't possibly do any worse than Powell in those 10-12 minutes

I just don't see the path forward after this season. We don't get a do-over on our 2020 pick. I guess we resign Brunson to keep the asset and then potentially trade him for a team that has a plethora of stellar 3-D type wings. Come on Nico do your thing..

People shitting on Luka around here are hilariously misguided. Imagine this team without him for 2 seconds before posting a bunch of nonsense.

Hes shooting 39% and 16% from 3 the last two games. Its okay to criticize him, especially when he hasnt figured out that he doesnt need to do it all, that will rarely result in a playoff win. 3/18 from 3.

That doesnt mean the others cant be criticized at the same time. But they arent superstars.

The guy is playing through a calf injury and Reggie a rib injury while playing ridiculous minutes with little rest. Luka looked completely gassed even in game 4. If you want to argue his conditioning, fine, but otherwise, he is playing hobbled.

And Kidd is reaching Mike D'Antoni territory with the minutes crunch. Gotta find a way to give them a few minutes rest.

Ahh yes the greatest hits. Always playing after a bad loss. Are you sure you’re a Mavs fan?
