sick of Barnes he’s a run stopper

 

[Kingz19]

Remember that point, Doug

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

sick of Barnes he’s a run stopper

He settles for too many 3's. Remember when he used to get to the foul line?

 

[Tetsujin]

Luka sorta playing so angry that he's been his best defender this quarter.

 

[The_Jamal]

All the bitching Luka does, but yeah. T up the King

 

[The_Jamal]

Fox and 1? Of course not

 

[Tetsujin]

Refs trying to will the Mavs back into this game

 

[TheMobb]

We all been on HB tough he’s had 3 straight possessions of great D on Luka

 

[Kingz19]

Davion is back

 

[hrdboild]

Other than missing shots (which are all shots that he should be taking) I don't get what anyone is angry with Barnes about this game. He's been playing well overall.

 

[Tetsujin]

Davion sighting!

 

[The_Jamal]

DAVION DAMN

 

[est.1999]

Barnes is an awful basketball player

 

[Kingz19]

Well, I didn’t forget Davion was a beast defender

 

[Tetsujin]

Kyrie is absolutely the right sort of player to sic Davion on for three minutes to give De'Aaron a breather. Off-Night eats small iso players for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

 

[CoatCheckDream]

Javale McGee was a great addition to this team

 

[HndsmCelt]

Hope keon's okay, glad to see Mitchell out there making Irving miserable

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Absolutely smothering defense on Kyrie by Davion there. Great to see.

 

[The_Jamal]

Barnes is an awful basketball player

He literally just attacked the rim, drew 2 defenders and kicked to Domas for a wide open 10-footer. What?

I've been as critical of HB as anyone, but this is one of his better games in awhile. Awful 3rd quarter, but excellent in the first half and he's making plays here in the 4th

 

[coolhandluke]

Davion making an impact right away.

 

[206Fan]

With how iso heavy the Mavs get in crunch time, Davion could be huge against Kyrie

 

[ridingagain]

i thought Barnes played some good defense in that stretch.

 

[hrdboild]

Mavs announcers on Davion Mitchell: "That's the best I've ever seen Kyrie defended"

 

[Bfreeman]

Man this is a fun stretch of basketball. If Fox stays healthy sky’s the limit

 

[Tetsujin]

With how iso heavy the Mavs get in crunch time, Davion could be huge against Kyrie

Yeah. Davion lost his rotation spot thanks to struggling against pivot Princeton-set heavy teams and the Mavs are certainly not that.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

With how iso heavy the Mavs get in crunch time, Davion could be huge against Kyrie

That's exactly right. And I was pleased to see Kess get in there too... let's see him against luka to shut down the last 7 minutes.

 

[The_Jamal]

HB 6 assists. And you notice almost all of them with him attacking the rim. Same deal as Keegs/Huerter; if the shot isn't falling, he's got to find other ways to contribute. And he's doing that tonight

 

[Tetsujin]

HB strips Luka!

 

[Kingz19]

With HB clowning Luka there, Dallas is officially gassed

 

[hrdboild]

How can anyone not love Davion Mitchell? Yeah I know he's short (by NBA standards) but this dude loves playing defense the way Steph Curry loves pulling threes.
