Same, I worry the past two summer leagues where they’ve tried to mold him into a playmaking guard have gone to his head. He’s a catch and shoot guy who can create for himself, not others.
Heck yeah! They can't get into the playoffs by riding 2 players' coattails. I'm glad that they're in a position where they Need to develop their skills, and it's showing. They'll be that much better at full strength.
Love seeing D Lively and PJ (very surprised he didnt miss a single ft) having amazing games! Spencer is really putting in work as well. And Hardy with the 25! Gonna have to play even better to beat the Nuggets but I believe we can do it
Every team wants their star players to always be on the court. I think it's more important to have the other role/bench players get court time and to be to build that chemistry. We all know Kyrie and Luka will perform. When the 2 are available, they take up 80% of the offense, though, and other players never really get that chance to get it in. We want the other guys to get that time in now and build that chemistry now rather than in the playoffs when it really matters. Luka and Kyrie being on the sideline is a good thing. Trust the process.
Frankly at this point we just need to be happy with any win we can get without Lukai. This is a lottery team without those two so any win helps stop the bleeding
I've been hard on Hardy pause, but we did him dirty this game for real he had 18 going into half and we stopped feeding him when he was open and it took like 6 minutes into the 2nd half to sub him in. He is great at catch-and-shoots and can drive he just isn't a good ball handler yet. With some more development, he could be really good and it would be great for spacing.
Hardy is turning into a sharp shooter. Confidence level on shooting is very high. That’s his role! Kidd is to blame for Hardy’s bad plays putting him in a position that he should never be in. He’s not a PG! He’s a poor decision maker, poor turnovers…..but as a catch and shoot & if continues to improve his defence, he could be a stud! Pleasantly surprised at his contributions this week.
When you do the stat line, full screen it, and you dont have to b on it as you show the line. We love it when u are showing yourself and talking, but we want to see the line better. Thank you for all you do
Props to so many of the Mavericks!!! But I gotta highlight some so here we go... -Hardy Partyyyyy!!! I'm happy to see Jaden developing his shot and building that confidence. There were flashes of it last season, but he was still needing more refinement. Fast forward to now, maaaan he's shooting at a higher clip, and making smarter plays. The dribbling mishap is easily correctable, and he's around the right company to improve that (Kyrie). -P.J. is a solid dude. He fills the needs that the game presents. Getting boards, more defense, making plays, You name it!! lol! -Quentin muthaf*ckin Grimes!! Pay this man so we don't have to face him on a different team! He's a young player in Ascension Mode. 3 level scorer, great defender, quick with getting rebounds, always hustling to make a great play. That's what Dallas needs to have! When you have several players to plan on how to guard it makes the other team's coaches stress! -D-Live is making plays, covering on the perimeter, and so much more. He still has that 3 point shot in his bag...gotta let that rip now that there will be open space to use it. -Spencer Dinwiddie is very versatile, and at the 1 position he's gotta do a lot of things. He's handling it well I gotta say. Even when his shots aren't consistently falling, he's still gonna attack the rim and challenge the other team to block without fouling him. I'm excited and hopeful to see how they develop individually and as a team. Let's get it MFFL!!!
Agreed! He needs more minutes so he can get more realtime experience. I get nervous when he dribbles because he can get a little wild in a bad way. This will get better in time so I'm rooting for him to get there.
Hey Marcel , big fan from India . So I tried a trade simulation where I sent maxi and Dwight to Portland for deni avdija and it was successful. Do you think this trade will be good for the team and will u pls make a video abt the mavs trading for someone like deni avdija or isaiah stewart or goga bitadze ig he could somewhat shoot or keegan Murray
I love hardy and Grimes but we need to take advantage of their rising value and trade one of them to improve our power forward back up position we are to guard heavy right now
Ima just say it.Klay has to go,we don’t really even need him at this point He’s old,Inconsistent and the 1 thing we have him for,overall this season Quentin grimes,Naji,pj,Even Hardy has been better than him when he does get minutes,Replace him with a Younger,better shooting perimeter defender Ideal players Keegan Murray (35% from 3 on 6 attempts per better shooter, POA defender if he can’t be the floor spacer and best of all he’s YOUNGER and can be a key piece for us in the long run) Peyton watson(Great defense,and is always a consistent 3 point shooter even though he doesn’t shoot a lot of 3s all we really need is 2-3 a game and making that trade would mean that the nuggets would have to match contracts so we could possibly get A few young players That could maybe develop under the Mavs system as well) Bogdan bogdonovic(perfect replacement of klay Thompson.not exactly better than klay,But Wayyyy more consistent and can play both sides of the ball)
Great team win. Big step ups from PJ, Grimes, Naji, Liv & Hardy Party. First half terrible, great close out of the 4th qtr. Terrible D on defending perimeter whole game. Got to address this is problem. Go get Topin or Nance. Go get a back up point of attack defender who can do a fair job on ANT or Shai.
Without Lukai you have to take any win you can get to avoid losing this season and we did that here, that will take some players playing above their heads just to squeak it out against bottom feeder teams. There's still going to be some Ls in our near future but mixing some of these in is key
the only reason we won this game was bc the refs were on our side in the 4th quarter. especially with that challenge call on the lively block, PJ definitely fouled him
This game really show the depth of the mavs and showed that we need a good reliable backup power foward. I’m not saying that omax isn’t capable but I think for a win now team he isn’t the guy just yet. We need to trade for obi toppin. He would be perfect
Trades still needs to happen just kuz certain players do something they no nico working on something so they perform well😂 then they might switch up after the Trade season die down just fake😂
Hardy & PJ are terrible dribblers and passers. PJ brings above average D and Hardy can heat up and give you points while playing less than 20mins. Little concern on production of Klay & Gafford. Blazers aren't real good but solid win for injury ridden Mavs.
I love Hardy as a catch and shoot player but everytime he starts dribbling the blood pressure starts rising
And PJ, especially when he brings it down the court. He is not passing that ball once he takes off😂😂
Same, I worry the past two summer leagues where they’ve tried to mold him into a playmaking guard have gone to his head. He’s a catch and shoot guy who can create for himself, not others.
Kyrie and Luka being out is a good thing. Guys can get chemistry between themselves and when Luka and Kai are back they own teams.
Same thing I said. Better to get that chemistry now rather than having time do it in a playoff series, which never works.
Heck yeah! They can't get into the playoffs by riding 2 players' coattails. I'm glad that they're in a position where they Need to develop their skills, and it's showing. They'll be that much better at full strength.
love the hardy respect 😢🥹 glad hes finally coming together for this team
Now I'm really worried about a match against Denver. Quentin Grimes is the best right now hope they extend his contract.
They can’t they have to wait tell free agency but we have the power to match all offers to bring him back. He is restricted free agency
LOVE this team. Gonna be lethal with Ky And Luka back
I love PJ
Love seeing D Lively and PJ (very surprised he didnt miss a single ft) having amazing games! Spencer is really putting in work as well. And Hardy with the 25! Gonna have to play even better to beat the Nuggets but I believe we can do it
Dereck Lively stood on business!! 16 rebounds!?! Most of those converted into points for the Mavs. Impressive game tonight from DLive
Great video Marcel
Thanks!

PAY Q HIS MONEY
O-Max will definitely be taking ove morer Maxi minutes by end of year
I wouldnt be to high on this Portland game, they are tanking hard. Nontheless veey happy with the W.
Frankly at this point we just need to be happy with any win we can get without Lukai. This is a lottery team without those two so any win helps stop the bleeding

It's because he is a bad defender. It didn't stop the Comeback tonight but him being out there longer would've ballooned the Blazers lead higher

Play O-Max More !!! High potential on the defense end
Agreed! He needs more minutes so he can get more realtime experience. I get nervous when he dribbles because he can get a little wild in a bad way. This will get better in time so I'm rooting for him to get there.

i knew we were gonna win the whole time! totally not me Cappin all game pfff naw me
Ima just say it.Klay has to go,we don’t really even need him at this point He’s old,Inconsistent and the 1 thing we have him for,overall this season Quentin grimes,Naji,pj,Even Hardy has been better than him when he does get minutes,Replace him with a Younger,better shooting perimeter defender
Ideal players
Keegan Murray (35% from 3 on 6 attempts per better shooter, POA defender if he can’t be the floor spacer and best of all he’s YOUNGER and can be a key piece for us in the long run)
Peyton watson(Great defense,and is always a consistent 3 point shooter even though he doesn’t shoot a lot of 3s all we really need is 2-3 a game and making that trade would mean that the nuggets would have to match contracts so we could possibly get A few young players That could maybe develop under the Mavs system as well)
Bogdan bogdonovic(perfect replacement of klay Thompson.not exactly better than klay,But Wayyyy more consistent and can play both sides of the ball)

Ngl I thought we was taking the L😂
Gotta trade Jaden Hardy and grimes while they trade value high!😅
the only reason we won this game was bc the refs were on our side in the 4th quarter. especially with that challenge call on the lively block, PJ definitely fouled him
"the refs were on our side".... yep, it's usually absolutely not the case. 😂
This game really show the depth of the mavs and showed that we need a good reliable backup power foward. I’m not saying that omax isn’t capable but I think for a win now team he isn’t the guy just yet. We need to trade for obi toppin. He would be perfect
How do you STEAL a 21 point win?
STOLEN
Klay Thompson bench, and Hardy starter !!!
No way. Look at the defensive end. Klay putting in the work!
Trades still needs to happen just kuz certain players do something they no nico working on something so they perform well😂 then they might switch up after the Trade season die down just fake😂
COWBOYS 🤠 SUPERBOWL 🎉

Wwww
Lively had a nice game, but I also him get pushed around by that big white guy.
Lively still needs to put about 10lbs of muscle.
