We might get cooked tonight against Wemby

 

[Slimkid07]

Jeez, the last 2 mins of NBA games always take 45 mins.
Hurry up and get to the Mavs

 

[Nitro Tuggle]

Derrick Jones and Kleber starting in 2023. Unserious franchise

 

[Slimkid07]

Insane that a 7'5 player's first point of his career is a 3 pointer.
Different time.

 

[Nitro Tuggle]

This defense…

 

[Slimkid07]

Lively looked fantastic, man.
I can kinda see Kidd's point in not starting him (NBA debut jitters, doesn't want to get him in foul trouble) but yea, he should be getting most of Powell and maybe even maxi's minutes.

OMax should be splitting time with Derrick Jones.

 

[Surreal]

I agree....OMax needs to get some run with Kyrie

 

[El Bombi]

We are in here.

They’re bringing OMax along slowly, but he should be a bigger, thiccer DFS for us



Green needs to be starting next to Luka and Kyrie. Every single game. Nobody wants to see DJJ, THJ, Exum or any of these other guys out there at the undersized SF spot.

Powell should never play another game for this team. I wouldn’t mind seeing Holmes get some minutes. Just so we can see another style and fresh face out there with the 2nd unit. Can’t be worse than that WCS trash we were subjected to for nearly 2 seasons.

We don’t win that game if we have CWood standing around waiting for the ball to launch jumpers instead of the rim running and glass effort that Lively provided.

I think OMax will be the better player for us long term over Lively

I want to see Holmes too but he looked terrible on defense in the preseason.

I thought the same thing too about OMax vs Lively... until last night. Lively has some good instincts.
He just has to work on his offensive game, get a hook shot, work on his 3s.
Prosper reminds me of Rap's OG a little bit. Gotta work on his jumper though.

We have some good young players

Negged.

Luka = 2023-2024 MVP

 

[Surreal]

Never forget we didn't do more trades this summer to avoid giving up Josh Green

Jerruh and Stephen type decision
