Aldama’s Grizzlies further complicates the future for Irving and Doncic

of Mavericks Hovering over the wire is increasingly seen Dallas The threat of a big failure of not making the playoffs is getting bigger and bigger.Exposed To The Whole Texas Team Without Their Great Duo – Unite Kyrie Irving down from Luka Doncic Dallas fell against the Grizzlies in Memphis due to discomfort in his right foot. Santi Aldama (112-108).

set of Jason Kidd Succumbed to the last strong push of the excited Grizzlies David Roddy (24 points, compared to 17 points last quarter) It was also largely due to the fear that paralyzed some of the Mavericks who had displayed admirable and hilarious collective spirit up until then. Jaden Hardy and Josh Green Before (22 points and 21 points) And what would you do without a dynamic duo? Tim Hardaway Jr. (twenty three).

Aldama has contributed this season with the amazing line of regularity he has shown. 10 goals, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal Nearly perfect on 2 (5/6) shots, this time he was denied with a triple (0/4), but finished with +6, the best plus-minus among bench players.

Silence is already a concern Jason Kidd His face already shows anguish. With just one win in his last three games, the Mavericks are about to be exposed to anarchy and even a carrom that will bring even the West into the playoff race. 14 dates to play. The Texas team finished eighth with a 34-34 record, missing out on making the playoffs.

Missing Irving and Doncic, Memphis also arrived not so well, inner balanceThose who are not good at drawing without Stephen Adams – low for the rest of the season -, what’s missing Ha Morant He decided to leave the team and complicate life with his “street” conflicts when he got the ideal sporting and family environment for success in the NBA. The Mavericks seemed to have it under control, without finding a plot for the attack. At the beginning of the last quarter (77-88).

Then Roddy’s noise on both sides of the court – 17 of the last quarter’s 24 points, a total of 4/7 in 3-pointers – disrupted Dallas’ plans, and the inexperience-stricken, clumsy Jayden Hardy made it to the team, however. I must say there is very little help for “rookies” from Mate.The Mavericks stopped moving the ball on a good day when they shared the ball very well -25 assists-, And they took refuge in the novice. What Irving usually does in the last quarter also needs a table.

Grizzlies finally defensive seam Mavericks on a good day to hide them 3rd worst defense in the NBA Since the arrival of the former from the Nets. In that sense, Kidd made it very clear to his third leading scorer on the team.Christian Wood, 12 points on average – if you haven’t assimilated it, you don’t trust him.

On a day when the center had more offensive responsibilities, the Dallas coach barely played for 15 minutes despite scoring 14 points. Maxi Clever (4 goals), and 19 Dwight Powell (4), favored as a big man; The former Rockets player who hit him on the outside of the paint itself or on the perimeter was the focal point of the Grizzlies’ offense and started the team reaction with him while he was on the floor. Taylor Jenkins Withdrawn at the start of the last set and no longer playable. More or less, Powell and Clever were also wrecked, and the Mavericks lost 54 points in the paint against limited rivals. 26% around.

desmond bane Brilliant in production and direction – 8/18 shooting 8 assists for 25 points – Tyus Jones He scored 11 points on 3/9 shooting and was very inspired to direct – 11 basket passes and no losses – that weren’t running.They were accumulating their stuff near the hoops too Xavier Tillman (12 and Jaren Jackson Jr. (14) Despite his 3/12 shooting.

The Mavericks “discovered” Green and Hardy’s potential together, being bold and fluid, but still too much for them.with the ease he got ‘mismatch’ Wood on the block, center scored an easy point, but Kidd focused more on his defensive weaknesses.Dallas too if more stable near own basket transition To take advantage of the fiendish speed of their “kids”.

Without the inside, the amount of attack is based on green and hardy penetration, which also works well from triples, especially the first three, boasting 3/6 from the perimeter. His improvement over long distances, no matter how much they keep him afloat.

Clever and Powell scored just a few points, but they effectively played their roles as big men. Hand in hand, Last night I found many avenues to the rim this way for the Dallas guard without Irving and Doncic. Faced with difficulty getting through the internal lockdown, the Grizzlies chose to change in those situations, struggling with Tillman and Jaren Jackson on the perimeter before an electric 1-1 between Green and Hardy. bottom.

and off, ready to run Hardaway Jr. He went 4/8 on triples, but he’s still shooting from mid-range shots this morning. Despite all the good intentions and clever back-up plans, Dallas didn’t arrive without a great partner. And he increasingly fears not reaching the playoffs.
