Game 4 GDT - Warriors @ Mavs - 8:00 PM CT

[Dallas41]

Moving forward win or lose this series the Mavs really have to stop being committed to playing Dwight Powell it seems at all cost.

Dude is making 11 million a year and giving you 0 points and 1 rebounds in 12 minutes

Then you read some of these other Mavs fans sites out there and there's always someone defending Powell saying he doesn't play enough minutes to hurt the team.

I mean seriously I'd rather they waist those 12 minutes on Josh Green and let him learn for the future as opposed to throwing Powell a consistent bone for empty stats every game.

Mavs are out here playing 4 on 5 offensively & defensively when Powell is on the floor.

I don't know man..at his rate of negative impact last night, Josh Green would have seen the lead completely disappear had they left him in for another 2 minutes.

Powell and Bobans roles mystify me.
Boban is virtually unplayable and Powell brings nothing.
Luka must have something to do with their existence on the team and Powell’s PT.
I see no reason for either to be on the roster next season based on what they have contributed in the POs this year.

I'm not sure whether to hate on or praise Kidd for Powell at this point. On one hand, Dwight provides nothing of value on the court. On the other hand, we're 7 wins away from winning it all with him starting. Fascinating.

Wasn't there some vote at the beginning of the season of the top three players, and they chose Dwight to start? Think it was Luka, THJ, and KP.

Good point, but then you have to wonder just how good we could be if we had a starter that could rebound, defend, and/or score.
Maybe the 3-1 would be in our favor if we had a starting center that could do just one of those 3 things.

I agree with what you’re saying, but Josh Green was a bad example.
