  1. I just want everyone to understand that the Mavs have two rookies in their starting lineup. They have winning record in those games.

    These games do not feature the two centers that we are told over and over again how important they are.

    Teams change. Lively and Gafford were GREAT for the finals team. They are not needed for this team.

    We have a top 10 defense with those centers barely playing and AD has barely played. News flash, Flagg and PJ are more important on that end of the floor.

  2. You know. When you cut the shit, this team is actually in a helluva good position considering Nico’s malpractice.

    The rookies are the key.

    Two starting. One playing as the best rookie selected. The other also playing in top 5 of selected players. In the history of the league, two top performing rookies on same team generally yields good results if they are the right type of rookies. I think these are.
