Game 15 - Nugs at Mavs - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Kleber out

Jokic out
Murray out
Ish out
Gordon questionable

I don't like the Mavs record when other stars are out. Can they come focused and do their job? Luka play 25 mins in a blow out? Usage rate can drop a whole lot if you take care of business against teams who have no reason to be in a 4 quarter game with you.

Reggie Bullock (neck strain) is now questionable for tonight?s game against the Nuggets.

Wanna see how the team plays if he is out. Be curious about that.

Mavs fans here seem to think we?d be better without him

That's no necessarily what I think, but he really hasn't been very good this season. Stats kinda speak for themselves.

I just feel like these guys think they can coast back to the WCF when they have to make it through the regular season first.

DevinHarriswillstart · 11-18-2022, 08:56 PM

Wood playing well AND playing well with Luka? It's almost like he should start or something.

Jeff Green always seems to kill us.

EricaLubarsky · 11-18-2022, 08:59 PM

layup layup layup for the Nugs

Luka has decided he wants us to lose when he shoots so many threes

EricaLubarsky · 11-18-2022, 09:01 PM

If Luka shoots fewer than 8 threes, we win at a 67% rate

If he shoots more, we win 33% of the time

Luka with 0-3 in the first quarter alone is not a great sign

DevinHarriswillstart · 11-18-2022, 09:01 PM

Wood covering up Luka's air ball. No more step back threes til after the half Luka.

EricaLubarsky · 11-18-2022, 09:04 PM

Wood has carrying the offense

Too bad we're allowing 55%/44% shooting.

Any defense at all and we'd be up 10

EricaLubarsky · 11-18-2022, 09:07 PM

Wood with chemistry with SD

Dude is having a game

So many people on this squad deserve our ire but you've singled out the only reason we're even remotely competitive.

The only reason we are competitive is because Luka has terrible shot selection sometimes?

DevinHarriswillstart · 11-18-2022, 09:13 PM

Calling out Luka's shot selection is completely fair because it could easily cost us games since his production is vital. It's a blessing and a curse.

DevinHarriswillstart · 11-18-2022, 09:14 PM

God I f'in love Wood.

DevinHarriswillstart · 11-18-2022, 09:23 PM

Luka is just ridiculous. McGee looks like a different player tonight.

EricaLubarsky · 11-18-2022, 09:26 PM

I will always hate Deandre Jordan

DevinHarriswillstart · 11-18-2022, 09:28 PM

Wtf is going on? You know it's a weird game when McGee and Jordan are scoring the ball.

EricaLubarsky · 11-18-2022, 09:28 PM

win or lose, we need McGee to be a playable piece

This might be a step forward game, even if we blow it badly in the second half

EricaLubarsky · 11-18-2022, 09:30 PM

Luka is so freaking good from 0-15'

DevinHarriswillstart · 11-18-2022, 09:39 PM

Well maybe McGee is just trying to learn a new system. He isn't the smartest guy in the league as well all know. Might've been hurt too.

I'm down for anything that sees Powell on the bench.

Damn near automatic from there

Melonhead · 11-18-2022, 10:05 PM

Seems the trick is when 3 starters are out.

1-2 starters isnt always enough

Melonhead · 11-18-2022, 10:14 PM

Start Wood

Melonhead · 11-18-2022, 10:30 PM

Kidd is an idiot. Get Luka out

EricaLubarsky · 11-18-2022, 10:34 PM

Wood is a badass

EricaLubarsky · 11-18-2022, 10:37 PM

One shot from having two guys have 30

When was the last time the Mavs had two guys with 30 in a single game

Scoobay · 11-19-2022, 01:02 AM

Bullock dribbled to attack a close out on 3 separate occasions! that's progress.
first time he dribbled 3x in a row and scored
second time he dribbled once and passed for an open 3
third time he dribbled once (fumbled it sort of) and scored again!

this is progress...

Maybe its happened with Hardaway and Luka.....but I feel like it might've been Dirk and Finley lol.

Luka and Brunson did that in the playoffs last season against GS I think.

SMC0007 · 11-19-2022, 03:50 PM

So it seems like Luka and Wood work well together. I recall being told that would be bad for our SLU.

Also seems like McGee and Wood work fine together.

Kidd is being a fuck wagon. I pray he stops the nonsense sooner than later but even after the game he said Wood was doing well in "his role".

I do feel like a lot of our player ire falls on the shoulders of Kidd. It's his job to get the guys to do their jobs.

I've mentioned it multiple times, but we need to properly utilize our roster before making a move. Wood starting. Giving Hardy a chance. Getting Bullock and Green more involved on the offense. Getting McGee to not be terrible. There are many things still to try before giving up on it.

I'm all for a trade if it makes sense. Wood trade makes total sense. Everythinf they've done after hasn't made any!

Luka, Dinwiddie, Dfs , Wood, Mcgee vs most teams. Swap McGee for DP in certain matchups. Not maximizing Luka and Woods mins is Looney farm shit.

JustJay · 11-19-2022, 08:14 PM

Hard to believe but, we're currently in a 3 way tie for the #4 seed and only 1 game behind the #1 seed.

EricaLubarsky · 11-19-2022, 08:45 PM

If Luka makes one FT to prevent OT, we are tied for first
If Luka plays B2B against the. rockets, we are tied for first

As frustrating as we've been to watch, we're that close to best record.

I'm only frustrated with the rotations and coach risking losing the best 2nd best player we have had here in a long time.

We have played fairly well despite those issues.
