The “DJJ is the best defender” narrative is lazy. DJJ didn’t become that defender until PJ and Gaff showed up. The WHOLE team is the defense. Not just DJJ…
I am guessing changing agents was a ploy he was talked into to push up his contract value, and the front office was ready to immediately change gears. DJJ could never be a playmaker nor create his own shot - a big weakness that was exposed by tougher defenses in the playoff run. Marshall is substantially better with the ball, and is a much better shot maker in the paint. I think the Mavs wanted to bring Jones back, but the moment there was a crack in the plan they jumped immediately for a better more complete player. Sure they may miss out on some blocked shots or a few highlight dunks, but they are going to be stronger for the change.
I’d say peak defence went a bit down but average defence went up, while shooting went up quite a bit!
Will the Mavericks ever bring back the Navy Blue and Silver 2000s Dallas away jerseys? There’s a ton of fans that would like it back at least as a throwback.
Fuckin’ love when Cato comes on, good interview guys!! 🎯
DJJ struggled at times last year in regular season and was in and out of lineups before really becoming crucial as a POA defender.
The fo has done a great job improving the team since nico became the gm
People really hate to admit that the reigning Weatern Conference Champions got even better!😂
I still dont get it fully why Jones left. With Green and Hardaway gone, there should have been plenty of minutes for him. His strength and skillset is different to Thompson.
Disagree with Cato on team need. It seems obvious this offense works best with two ball handling, playmaking point guards on the court together who are good at protecting the ball and are competent shooters. It seems there may be 2 free agents somewhat fitting the bill: Dinwiddie and Tyrus Jones.
To Beat a team like Boston we need speed, look what IND did in the playoffs almost beating Boston in 3 games. + if Luka start getting better at catch and shoots and stop been so tentative(sending a doubt message) and probably he won't need the ball in his hands all the time allowing or sharing the ball with a smaller guard that can run the floor leaving defenders behind = OPEN SHOTS
Cato literally brought nothing to the table. Analysis that anyone with google could get. Like wow nothing. Nothing. What did Cato say that was even remotely informative?
I like DJJ but he didn’t come alive until after the trade…we was slumping until the trade but Naji will make up for his defense n Klay,grimes are good signing,MAVS are better
Y brodas drinking milk 🥛 on the show ? Lmao
I believe Omax will replace Derek Jones jr,🤫 js
I do not understand the logic. You do not play Luka, Ky and Klay At the same time Due to lack of defence. Therefore, he won’t be shooting those threes of our role Missed. We will have to sub Klay in. All the while Boston can play, it’s five best players at the same time all game if they need to. I don’t see it yet
Jones Jr will regret that decision forever.
I’d say peak defence went a bit down but average defence went up, while shooting went up quite a bit!
