OFFICIAL 2022 Playoffs round WCSF 2 SERIES Mavs and Suns

[Dallas41]

If these was ever a series Powell needs to earn that 11 Million contract it's this one. Gobert is much bigger than Ayon and better at protecting the rim. Ayton has warps in PNR defense so Powell needs to excel at a high level this series on offense.

Mavs can't afford to have Powell get played off the floor like he was vs both the Clippers and Jazz.

Also MMB had a interesting on take Kleber

Paging Maxi Kleber
After hitting 14 of 18 threes in games 2 and 3, Maxi Kleber reverted to his mean hard in games 4, 5, and 6 hitting just two of 10 while also passing up a ton of shots. It didn’t bite the Mavericks, because the Jazz were a limited team but in order to beat the Suns, Maxi is going to have to contribute to the offense.

I’m more looking for decisiveness than I am a point total. He’s skittish with the ball and other teams know it. But he shouldn’t be, because Maxi Kleber is a pretty good basketball player who just needs to get his confidence up and have it stay there.
