That fake three and drive isn't half bad by Powell, but ain't no one faked out by that.
He should just drive it

Powell doesn't seem to have the lift that he needs any more.

Problem is he drove it and had an open layup and missed. He missed back to back layups.

There really was no reason for THJ to shoot that shot right after WCS hustled for the rebound.
That was just low IQ
Could have pulled it out and ran a play

I mean what else would you have done? It's not like we had better options. We're not getting better shots.

Powell and THJ is why this team can't be taken serious right now.
I don't care about their locker room leadership or off court community work.
These two guys need to go for a another key rotation player. That layup attempt by Powell was absolutely pathetic and he no lift what so ever.
THJ is just a straight chucker and is more liable to shoot you out of a game as opposed to in it doing the playoffs.

THJ keeps picking up his dribble because he has no handles and no confidence. I'm convinced that's why he is such a chucker. Prove me wrong.

He can't box out either
I'm just done with this guy.
He needs to be traded asap

I feel bad for Rick. He cant trust anyone to put the ball on the floor and make a play. Only guys that are confident with ball in their hands are Luka, Richardson, Brunson, Burke and James Johnson. Brunson gets dogged on for ball hogging...but no one else is going to make a play when hes in. Burke seems a little timid sometimes because of his size...long players shut him down. He is not as skilled as Brunson at getting around those guys. Johnson just doesnt wear diapers. He is not the best but at least he is not scared. He gets the ball stolen from him a lot it seems....but at least he isnt picking up his dribble like everyone else.
Dallas needs more ball handlers or guys not afraid to dribble.

Luka’s rebounding usually covers up for starting a poor rebounder at sf.

WCS 5 fouls and two missed FTs.
We're all cheering for him, but he's not making a case for himself

I feel like he's playing well. Anytime you question his play, compare it to DP.
He hasn't picked up fouls being on an island getting picked apart. Part of it is guards are letting everyone down to him.

I'd still take that all day every day over Powell.
It's clear as day he might not be a starter but neither is Powell.
So having said that he's a much better backup C than Powell and can't understand why Powell keeps getting 20+ minutes a night.

WCS fouls out and gives them a three-point play at the same time.
DP wasn't in, so I can't compare

every time he goes with small ball crap we get pushed around on the boards.
There was no need to take Johnson off the floor and insert THJ

I agree with everything aside from feeling bad for Rick. I'm,sure he signs off on guys we sign or trade for. I also think he doesn't do himself many favors with rotations.

Its still somehow DPs fault.
But seriously team effort boxing out and rebounding is soft as baby shit still.

at this point i'm not sure how any fan can compare Powell's play to WCS
Who cares that Powell has no missed FT's that's probably because he doesn't create any fouls on offense like WCS when going up for lobs.
Powell is done IMO that was his only strength catching lobs similiar to Brandon Wright.
He can't do that anymore so why in the hell does he even play because he c an make a FT LOL

He averaged 9.5 rebs last year. I don’t think people realize how much they lean on him for that.

Shut up about Powell! Shut up about Powell!

But seriously, no one is supporting Powell, but people are just tired of the whining about him every single game and I can't even say anything critical about wCS without getting attacked that I didn't mention Powell. WCS can be bad and Powell can also be bad.

I wonder if McCarthy is watching this game and realizing you can't save your timeouts so might as well use it on a challenge like Rick

Well clearly you need to qualify any criticism for WCS with a quick comparison to Powell. Seems like an easy fix
