I’m ngl I’m prob a horrible fan but these mavs look scary as shit. How the hell we gonna stop lively gafford?

It’s gonna be a tough draw, but I would rather play Lively and Gafford over Towns/Gobert and Jokic so.

We’re vulnerable to lobs and Gafford and Lively are both such big lob threats it’s gonna be hard.

Um... they may be the only "bigs" in the league that are as frail looking as Chet. Chet will shut down the paint, while Dort and Dub make Kyrie and Luka's life hell. Even whoever their 3rd best... PJ? He's gonna have the MVP of the league guarding him. If all else fails, we send in Wiggins and he saves basketball again.

Have you seen Daniel Gafford?

u/divulgingwords May 04 '24

I saw him miss literally every shot that wasn’t a dunk/lob and get foul baited like a college player on defense. He’s athletic and plays hard though.

Does he not literally have the highest fg percentage in the league? He tied the all time record for makes in a row or something lol

u/divulgingwords May 04 '24

He literally only dunks. He cannot make a shot further than 3ft from the basket.

You’re not watching much basketball, but that’s fine. I’m not being biased, you just clearly don’t know what you’re even talking about.

Lmao I love when people like you are overly confident in bad takes. You clearly didn’t watch Mavericks basketball this year or even the games OKC played against Dallas. Chet was getting pushed around by Gafford, PJ, and Lively the two times they played as the roster currently constructed.

Didn’t know Jokic plays for OKC 🤨

with luka playing the way he is there's no need to worry that much. Kyrie in the 2nd half is a threat though.

His shot will start falling eventually. He did everything else very well against Clippers.

u/Taltibalti May 04 '24

His knees aren't getting better in a week or even a month. His 3pt shot is gone. Mavs fans went through every game saying his shot would get better but he ended up going 1/10 last game.

u/feedmaster May 05 '24

So you think he'll keep shooting 24% from 3 in this series?

1

u/Taltibalti May 05 '24

I don't see his 3 getting better but he'll find other ways to contribute.

Lindy is going to shut them down
