    I remember when people were complaining that Luka didn’t have any help and that the Mavericks were failing Luka. Then Dallas traded for Kyrie and people were down on him saying he and Luka couldn’t play together. Then after a season of drafting a lottery pick and a mid season trade, Dallas goes to the NBA Finals and comes up short because they had a lack of shooting. Now Dallas has brought in Klay Thompson who’s one of the better shooters the NBA ever had and he defends so much better than THJ ever did right now. They trade for Quentin Grimes who’s a good point of attack defender himself and he can shoot 3s at a decent clip also. They sign Naji Marshall who’s a great defender and a better more fluid basketball player than DJJ ever was. Dallas even brought back Spencer Dinwiddie who’s by all accounts a proven scorer who can play on ball and off, and people want to say well Klay might forget how to shoot like he once did and is as bad as a defender as THJ? People are stupid. National media and podcasters are stupid. People asked for better players and now that the Mavs have better players people start acting as though the players are too flawed and no longer productive and won’t help the team? People are stupid. Dallas brought in players better than what OKC brought to their team and people still say OKC is better when Dallas just beat them in the playoffs. People are stupid.

      I wonder how many have already forgotten about Spencer Dinwiddie joining the team. He's gonna have some really good games this season that will help the Mavs capture more wins. The Mavericks are going to be crazy good!

    for me klay should start , but in terms of finishing the game, i think it should be the discretion of the coach (jason kidd).....
    in terms of match up , klay can still defend. naji can come off the bench when the tough gets going

  • @williammoen9523

    • @iamchaunceman
      @iamchaunceman Месяц назад

      It won’t happen, but most real Mavs fans would be willing to give up whatever it takes to pair Luka and Giannis. Especially if we can keep Kai.

  • @SDesWriter
    @SDesWriter Месяц назад +2

    I want him to start to give Dallas the best offense for the first 6-8 minutes every game.....BUT, it would be awfully nice to have him come in when Luka or Kyrie take that first break so Dallas has 2 outstanding scorers on the floor at all times. He chose Dallas so whatever he and Kidd work out is fine as far as I'm concerned. The last thing you want is to come off like the Mavs made promises, then are screwing him over the minute he gets here. He could be the start of Dallas being a destination for free agents.

    • @Rr-j4x
      @Rr-j4x Месяц назад +1

      thats what im thinking too let him start and play for 5 to 6mins have marshal and grimes slow opponents then do the match up from there. ketting him start would build his confidence. if hes on fire for the first 6mins he stay if not let him rest for 5 mins put him back

  • @Velveteenvision
    @Velveteenvision Месяц назад +1

    • @OneWingedAngelsBand
      @OneWingedAngelsBand Месяц назад +1

      Watch Grimes locking up Jimmy Butler after getting injured next. The Mavs got 2 really good roleplayers aside from Klay. Hell we have Dinwiddie back.

      Klay gonna cook, he shot 38% on a heavy dose of threes. Yet most of them were guarded, on the other side pj and DJ shot 34% with a lot of wide open shots. Klay will easily see the most wide open ( more than 6 feet from defender ) threes ever so I expect his percentage to go up.

    • @Rr-j4x
      @Rr-j4x Месяц назад

      nope it would decrease his confidence. id let him start and play for 5 mins and do the match changes up after that. defense is team effort so hes gonna be fine

    • @pzagorski

      Idk about gaff above Lively but Luka, Kyrie, Klay defense could be a problem against best offenses in the league.

  • @jfrancoginn6923
    @jfrancoginn6923 Месяц назад

    Klay should be off bench. So for the lineup to have always 2 scorers in any rotation.
    1 Lukai
    2 kaiklay
    3 luklay

  • @DebasedAnon
    @DebasedAnon Месяц назад

    This is what I've been saying.
    I never thought Klay Thompson was some ego maniac who'd throw a tantrum over not starting every game, he obviously wouldn't like being benched completely but splitting minutes depending on whether offense/defense is more important can easily be done and I don't think he'd mind. He just wants a good amount of minutes to be impactful and show that hes not washed up, hell he might even prefer splitting minutes evenly so he can always have energy left over, his defense might even improve due to always having energy to be active on it.
    People have this very dumb mentality of defense requiring extreme athleticism, it doesn't really.
    As long as you stay with your man or are at least able to send him in the right direction defending is vastly more about effort and IQ than it is athleticism. Obviously to be a truly amazing defender you need all 3 but Luka utilised the first 2 while on 1 leg (and hes not that athletic in terms of speed/leaping ability in the first place) and he had some fantastic defensive games.
    Kyrie also swarmed people on defense, they both performed way above their defensive expectations in the playoffs.

    • @iamchaunceman
      @iamchaunceman Месяц назад

      Yeah when Klays playing three he doesn’t need to chase his defender allowing him to use his defensive iq more than his old ass athleticism. His open threes should put him back at 40% 3

  • @hassanhubbi8289

    I'm a bit worried about our defence. Imagine kyrie,luka, and klay at thr court, yes we have a great offensive power, but what about the defence?!

    • @pzagorski
      @pzagorski Месяц назад

      That's right. Him or Kyrie should step up and take the role of six man. But preferably Klay.

  • @graham5990
    @graham5990 Месяц назад

    I think OKC had a way better offseason for sure, but Dallas's could be better depending on what Klay Thompson we get. He just had his worst season since his rookie year and if he continues to decline it could be really rough, but if the new scenery puts a spark and love for the game back in him then it could be amazing. I think OKC no doubt got WAY better and as for DAL it's more of a "we'll see" because it could be really really really good if all goes well, but if he regresses it could be a kinda bad move at worst. Worst case scenario Naji starts and Klay comes off the bench and we get way better defense in the starting 5.

    Are you forgetting something? Klay 0 for 6 in his last game? And he can't defend nothing. What can Kyree and Luka not do? Defend. Klay is washed! Mavs ain't making the playoffs this year. Luka will be out for the season before Dec 31.
