Like RJ said during the broadcast, Dereck Lively is our starting center. He should be our starting center every single game. I don’t even care if he’s injured, start him
bagfka
Bro he’s so good
Mrdrock54
We finally have a competent center.

It seems the Chandler comparisons were not an exaggeration

He’s going to be massive guys get ready. Kidd just needs to get his shit together on lineups and we’ll be okay

I advocated for the lively pick for months on here , he’s exactly what they need . And he is still better than I could have hoped
This is why you don’t scout the box score, which some fans did. Oh lively only scored 5 points a game, he was hurt early in the season and duke system was not designed to showcase lively

He was +20 tonight…. Highest plus/minus in the game
elfonmyshelf
+/- was +11. Normally I hate that stat but tonight it was visually very evident when he was on the court.
Edit: actually +20, woof
highfalutinman
This man played with POWER tonight, critical offensive rebound to set up the killshot it couldn’t have gone better

Fun Fact: In regular season games where Lively has played the Mavericks are undefeated!
GGGeralt
The guy was the second best center the mavs ever had over the last two decades
Calliesdad20
This is why he was the number one high school prospect in the country . If you watched dukes last 10 games , you knew this was coming

Luka + Lively pick&roll opened up so much in the court that 4Q.

DLive – hope you’re ready for 30mpg brother

All these shows tomorrow morning are gonna spend time excusing Wemby nearly fouling out instead of praising Lively playing a fucking G tonight.

He’s scary to any team that plays against him

He might actually save the Luka era

Bro played better than Powell’s entire career

We ain’t gonna be last place in rebounds this season

Give me 30mins of Lively every game. Jesus what a difference maker. He recorded no blocked shots but the number of shots he contested and bothered is exactly what we needed.

Just a reminder, this is exactly why you don’t fight for a first round exit against Denver (and eventual champion), and why you tank like Dallas did.

DERECK LIVELY THE SECOND COMING

He really is a young Tyson, I could cry right now
dallassportsallday
Luka and kyrie are going to make him ROTY.

He’s a tank, and athletic. That put back dunk from a THJ brick made me make a high pitched noise.

Lively was great!
We have a starting center but now we need a back up center. Problems never end.
