It's clear as day Mavs need a starting PF,someone bigger than Grant,and a backup C(doesn't have to be Capella,Drumond would be fine)

Luka just launching 3s. Did he even penetrate the paint even once yet?

I've counted 3x where they didn't initiate any offense whatsoever and it's just him jacking up a deep 3

Huh what happened? Missed that.

Yeah,weird sequence at the end,I think Kyrie was waiting to get the ball back(the last two attacks) and Luka didn't even Look at him...that was weird and if this becomes a regular thing could be a problem

Luka settling way to much for long shots, attack the hoop or run pick and role with lively. Plus mavs needs to stop playing all those players need better rotation.

Not a great first half but Utah is bad, we can win.
Exum is better like secondary ballhandler and not in a 3 guard lineup.
Luka is washed.

Fontecchio is playing very good. Happy for him.

Could be wrong but think it happened when he ran out of bounds after the ball

This is when you need a coach to step up and rip his Player,even though he's a superstar...I hate the fact that the Players(stars) are being cuddled in the NBA...in Europe the coach would tear him a new one

Exum got hurt the previous game, he got heel contusion. He give it a try but apparently is unable to play.

Ever since he slimed down, he's not posting up any more...I get that it takes more energy,banging down low(posting up),but he's good at it ..use it

Soon we will celebrate 10 years of Dwight Powell on the Mavs. 10 years.

Dwight Powell is a walking disgrace, unbelievable he was resigned not 1 but 2 times

He got the same injury as Kyrie and is already playing. Props to him for trying and still hustling his butt off.

JWillTheFreak · Post #36 » by **JWillTheFreak** » Tue Jan 2, 2024 3:16 am

yeah but he playing one dimensional when takes those 3s only, and it annoying sometimes!

But doesn't this also prove this is an injury that shouldn't be played with? There's an old saying, play hurt and you get inquired. Guys play hurt all the time and it leads to a bigger injury. Kyrie, KD, and many other athletes have had season-ending injuries in the past by playing hurt. I say get healthy. If this was playoffs - then you play through it as much as possible. Also you get to see some younger players and see who can step up.

Luka is totaly off today...Hardy proving he is a catch and shoot player

ejs78 · Post #39 » by **ejs78** » Tue Jan 2, 2024 3:33 am

Hopefully Jones is ok.

As far as Exum and Irving having the same injury there's different levels of severity.

Lively had a back contusion on a play we all saw and thought would be worse. He missed a game

Mark Williams suffered a back contusion the same night as Irving suffered his heel contusion on a play no one in the fantasy basketball world can seem to find and he hasn't played since.
