GDT: Mavs have a chance at the Blazers

[EricaLubarsky]

DFS and Green are back

Powell
Simons
Nance
Little
Snell
Elleby
Brown
McGriff
Williams
Cumberland

vs

KP
Brunson
DFS
Franky smokes
Green
Boban
M. Brown
S. Brown
Chriss
Jones
King
Knight
Pinson

Unlike the Jazz, Warriors, and Suns, Blazers are actually honest about their COVId tests and have also been depleted.

If DFS and Green are back do 2 of the replacement players have to be waved?

Also, since the Mavs waved Omoruyi yesterday. Dose Pinson qualify for a 2way spot?

Great. Hope this is the night we get to see what Green can do with 30 minutes of court time. Or am I overestimating Kidd and he’ll play like 12 minutes?

[EricaLubarsky]

Green needs more min

[Melonhead]

Honestly give me Brandon Knight purely because he can dribble and he can create. Would be a great bench player for the team.

Add Knight, Chriss, 2 way Pinson

Waive whoever needed

[Melonhead]

Green with the beautiful pass

[EricaLubarsky]

Green uses his athleticism to make crazy passes and dunks. If he can get his threes going, he’s a player

[Melonhead]

Ngl I reallllly wanted Norman Powell (along with a lot of FA)

but he has really underwhelmed in Portland.

[Melonhead]

Josh green making passes.

I don’t expect his shot to get there tbh. And that’s okay. As long as it’s halfway respectable, his transition and ability to get in the paint is important.

[Melonhead]

You have to start fielding offers for THJ right?

[EricaLubarsky]

Green 9pts, 10ast, 4reb, 2stl.

[Unicorn]

KP was a monster this game, vote for him in all-star voting

[dirt_dobber]

Brandon Knight!!!
in his 3rd game with DAL and had 18 points (6-12 FG), 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal in 24 minutes.
.
Brandon Knight on signing with the Mavs as a COVID replacement, and taking advantage of this run this week: "When I got off the phone with my agent, I literally cried. Just thankful to get this chance."
.
Youngest Mavs to hand out 10+ assists:
Luka Dončić (19 years, 293 days)
Dennis Smith Jr. (19 years, 327 days)
*Josh Green (21 years, 41 days)
Jason Kidd (21 years, 227 days)
.
It's a 132-117 final, Mavs win. Dallas scored 68 points in the paint, tied for the team's most in a game since 11/22/19. Porzingis scored 34, a Mavs high in a game this season. Dwight Powell had 22. Josh Green had a career-high 10 assists. Brandon Knight scored 18 off the bench.
.
Dwight Powell has his first 20-point game of the season and his second since returning from the Achilles injury he suffered in 2020. It's his 15th career 20-point game.
.
Per@Stathead
the 38 assists by the Mavericks were the most they've had in a game since 39 in a 2OT win at DEN in Apr 2015 (Raymond Felton GW shot). In regulation it's the most since 39 at PHI in Feb 2014

Yea.. a bag of Doritos would suffice

What a shit signing

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Tim is just the exact opposite of what a fan likes watching. A non-energy three point chucker who has zero other impact on the game. Hope the Pelicans still like him.

Oh there were some who liked him and sorta tried to justify his re-signing. Idc that it appeared we were running low on FA options. Ray Charles could see that he wasn't a good fit here.

He's a good dude and I'd wish him well elsewhre but it's going to be annoying when he's still here beyond the TD.

It's really unfortunate that our two biggest signings this offseason, THJ and Bullock, are probably the ones we need to move the most at this point. Bullock is too one dimensional and he's been terrible this year at the one dimension he's supposed to be good at. THJ is just too poor of a defender and too streaky to be worth his salary. We should see what we can get for them and then re-sign Brunson and DFS to replace their salary slots.

[EricaLubarsky]

Bullock back tomorrow

Could have the other guys not named WCS by NYE

Bullock, THJ and Kleber should be packaged for Myles Turner
