My new “young Mavs players I like to watch” power rankings:
1. Lively
2. OMax
3. Lawson
4. Dennis
5. Hardy
I don’t think anyone expected a win but that was somehow disappointing even by the reduced standards
Efficient 18/5/4 in 17 minutes, need a Dexter Dennis flair right now.
Omax is going to be so great down the road
Luka Doncic MVP Agenda game that’s all
OMax need to develop more in 3 pointer, or else it is really hard to stand in the same court with Luka
Best players on game are Lawson, Dennis, Omax and Holmes which are garbage time guys on JKidds system. Guys played lot better than our rotation guys who played in this game lol.
Bruh Williams was out there with FRINGE players yet fails to score any points lol
OMax with 20, max hustle and good defense
Dexter with a coming out party
AJ with good minutes
Holmes with some tenacity on the glass
These boys should play more from hereon out
turns out when you’re down 4 of your 5 best ballhandlers and your best center, you’re a pretty bad team.
i didn’t expect the garbage shooting. that was new. glad omax got some genuinely great minutes today. otherwise…. What Game?
This game meant more for Luka’s MVP campaign.
I’m still trying to figure out how GWills short ass got credited with a block. I must’ve been making another drink lol
I don’t see why Green or Hardy should be on this team past the deadline. Can definitely get a solid wing player with those 2.
Backup big is still a major need.
It’s hilarious how a 19 year old rookie C is the glue between us being a competent team and a joke.
Sort of shocking.
Brutal game.
The only “bright” spots were Dennis and OMax.
Hardy, Curry and THJ were laughably bad.
Very happy with O-Max and Dennis.
The final score is deceiving.
“Sengun Shines with 22 & 15” – nba.com can’t think of any better title because most of our core guys didn’t play.
Did anyone see any of the injured guys on the bench tonight? Seems like guys would be there in spirit as a team even though they aren’t playing. Because it’s Houston, they get to stay back in Dallas?
OMax 20 points we’re leaving with something
Only good thing about this game is my boy Dexter Dennis got to cook a bit.
Kidd needs too play Omax more minutes, make Holmes de facto Backup Centre, play Lawson and Dennis more minutes. Nico can trade THJ Powell/Kleber for better pieces add hardy in if anybody offers anything good for him.
God I am so happy with what we drafted. Hardy is having the typical 2nd year slump but he regressed so much its crazy
regarding finding #3
if we get PF, starts DJJ
if we get SG/SF, starts Omax
for 5th starter they are fine
it’s that simple tbh
just stay healthy bois
edit : i think powell gone (fit celtics TPE), get real backup and Holmes as 3rd string, his 12m salary more useful as expiring than powell next offseason
Grant is laughably bad. There’s like a 60% chance the guy make 0 or 1 shot in a game
Hardy went 3-17 and 2-12 from 3 ? Lord have mercy
I just woke up and only saw the boxscore. Didn’t expect anything from this game, but why is Hardy shooting 12 threes on 17 shots??
Everyone outside of Luka, Kyrie, and Lively are tradeable btw. Obviously to various degrees, but this is the type of game where you realize just how mid some of these players are individually, when they aren’t living off of wide open shots created by Luka.
its official. grant is dogshit.
I just looked at the January schedule and my lord do we need to get healthy quick lol that’s a brutal month
I don’t like anything I’ve seen of Hardy this year whether it’s his body language, shot selection, defensive effort, etc. I was all for the youth movement but if we can get a big wing or a backup c for him I’m all for it. Dude squanders the opportunity every time he sees the Court.
Say what you want about Hardy, but this isn’t what he was last year. He was excelling despite Kidd screwing up his minutes in the rotation. That’s still happening this year and he’s taken a step back, which with Luka and Kyrie both here fully to learn from, doesn’t make sense.
Then again, a lot of guys have taken a step back.
Trade Grant. Get rid of Dwight.
