Lively pj combo plus players like grimes and naji I think they have potential to be a top 2 offense and a top 5 defense when they actually lock in like the end of last season all the way to the finals they’ll go on another run hopefully this Time it ends in a championship 😭
Its starts with Livey since he is our starting big atm. Needs to be better on switches and keep contesting his man's. Last 2 games he's looked dazed. Got to be better out there. Better communication on switches.
Our defense could be better if the rotation from our centers were better. They seem to have a mindset of sitting next to the paint rather than rotating to the player at the 3pt line which gives the other team to shoot free wide open 3s. It has been happening very often especially when gafford is on the court. It’s frustrating to see because we have some big players on the court, go do the switch and stop protecting the paint like a robot. Most teams are shooting crazy amount of 3s now!
@@JTMont21 I see what you’re saying but they do it against certain teams where we can’t afford it like OKC. They aren’t that good at 3s but that’s all they shoot now and they let them get away with a ton.
I think they need someone like another PJ as a backup. Someone who can guard the perimeter and someone who can guard the bigger wings and pf. Someone like Maxi. Back when he's playing well.
Seeing how the NBA dropped the Mavs defense to no. 11 is crazy disrespectful. Almost as the league is forgetting PJ, Lively, Gafford, Grimes, Naji, Kleber and Omax exist on this team. Luka also improving on defense and Klay can still play decent defense. When Exum comes back I guarantee this team gonna remind everyone they still good on defense
To get better on D. 1. Got to get Naji & PJ healthy to guard in space on the wing. 2. SD & Hardy have to guard in space better. 3. Liv and Gafford have to be able to guard a little in space, not give up second shots and stay out of foul trouble. If we don't trade Maxi then he has to be healthy. Last Omax and Edward's can be our X factors as lock down defenders for full court pressure. Last Klay just keep giving effort and making your 3 and you are good to go. Like Luka the good teams will hunt Klay on the D side that's when our wings and centers have to rotate and recover. Our D & O are good enough if we stay healthy and make our 3's.
As a European, hearing you talk about a new arena is so incredibly weird to. They are some of the most economically unproductive buildings a US city can build. They bring in little tax revenue (despite what billionaire owner try to tell you) and cost ungodly amounts of money, most of which will be paid by the city and, in turn, by the tax payer. I don't understand why Americans are so horny for things that empirically make their cities worse.
This Mavs defense is not better than last year after the trade. Yeah maybe by the stats because before the trade last year it was one of the worst defenses the NBA had ever seen. But after the trade Mavs defense was elite. Maybe they can get close to that again but this year they are not at that level.
Early on clippers 6-6 on free throws and Dallas is EIGHT FOR THIRTEEN!!!!!!! They are called FREE THROWS for a reason lol……this is pathetic. F***defense. Just make your GD free throws guys.
High numbers with steals often times is a sign of a weak defender, because this guy is gambling a lot in passing lanes and therefore misses defensive rotations, leaves their man open or the defence exposed. If you play regular and serious defence, staying in front of your manyou usually don’t get steals.
What's 1 reason the Mavs have a Top 10 Defense?
lay-up line maxi misalot, yessir

Lukas length helps mitigate Gaffs slower feet in drop coverage in the pick and roll.

Maxi for Larry nance and exum for lonzo ball are the trades no one knew we needed

I think it's somewhat by design. To take away dunks and layups. While giving up a few more 3s
Yes, and for rebounds. When our bigs are running at close outs we give up more offensive rebounds.@@JTMont21

The prices in the new area and it being further away from the train station is gonna suck

1:53 My Daughter is 4 and the exact same scenario happened to us.

Luka is greatly improved on the D end.
Could we get the old intro from time to time? Would love to listen to occasionally
Contractually no....the intro change was a corporate decisions to streamline things.
In his last 12 to 14 games lively is averaging 2.3 fouls per game so he is definitely been better
Let’s go! Mffl
Let's go Mavs!
IT MEANS THOSE DEFENSIVE NUMBERS & STATS VARY DEPENDING ON WHAT'S GOIN ON IN THE ACTUAL GAME AT THE TIME
Duh?

The Rebound Matters Maximizer 😂😂😂
I love all the highlights Luka and KAI give us, but PJ is the most impactful player the Mavs have.
We give up a ton of shots because we give up too many offensive rebounds.
Cuban slowly being completely removed from the organization it feels like.
He sold. He's a minority owner now. They usually don't have much say. It is weird to see though

Hit that like button
Yeah its gonna be a crazy arena. It will also be like Cowboys tix, the average fan wont be able to afford tix. Its the Conservative way!
because we lost 4 games we shouldnt have and that knocks us out the top 5🤬
Not a girl, not yet a woman defense equivalent

said noone ever
Parroted low IQ take
Damn, I guess Dyson Daniels is a bad defender then.
Eason, Sga, cason wallace, all terrible defenders 😂
So is John Stockton the worst defender of all time then?
