Hardy is so great at playing as a SG rather than a PG. He is a great spot up shooter it’s just the turnovers needed to simmer down and it looks like he’s understanding that as well. Main thing he needs to improve on is just defense.

Looks like him, Kidd, the rest of the coaches, and even the team are understanding that. I love seeing Hardy be utilized correctly

[@thepabs911]

Getting Spence back for peanuts was one of the most important moves the Mavs made. He has been a rock on offense holding the team together playing the point. If Spence gets hurt the Mavs are in serious trouble.

[@dustinbarlow1623]

I think Spencer has no business playing over Hardy. Hardy leads the NBA in 3pt% since December 1st. Someone has to be traded.

[@ellieswagaye]

@@dustinbarlow1623they don’t have to be mutually exclusive, they do different things. I love Hardy’s scoring, but hate his ball handling. Spence plays the 1 and Hardy plays the 2. Statistically dinwiddie is a luxury, not many self creating point guards with facilitation who also protect the ball. Those guys are usually the franchise player or an otherwise untouchable asset. Spence has the numbers in his assist/turnover ratio to be in that company of guards. I feel like many fans haven’t caught on to how much he’s helping the offense.

[@dustinbarlow1623]

@ I hate his turnovers but we also forget Luka almost lead the league in turnovers his rookie year which drove Carlisle bananas. Young guys have to grow into the PG role, it’s not a microwave position, it requires time and patience which is something Hardy has gotten neither of. Right now Hardy is the best 3pt shooter on the team without question. What we need when Luka and Ky are out there are dudes who can knock down open looks everytime. Right now that’s Grimes and Hardy, if Naji is out there we don’t need Dinwiddie as a facilitator. We have to find a way to get Hardy in the game. He’s too much an explosive scorer to sit every night. He’d be a 27ppg player on a team like Detroit or Boston.

[@ellieswagaye]

@ well look I don’t want Hardy going anywhere, I just don’t want anyone else to leave either. I can’t ask Hardy to just step up his handles, it would be a knock on him when I actually like what he does for this team currently. Hell the uncomfortable one that mavs fans don’t wanna speak on is Grimes. He’s clearly looking to get the bag with how well he’s playing. Who knows if they could even pay the guy how much he might want.

Hardy providing a spark. PJ and Lively doing dirty work. Grimes closing it out. Just a great team win by all accounts. Can't forget about Dinwiddie or Naji. Ppl also need to understand Klay did his part even with the off shooting night getting Steals, Rebounds, and Assists. Hopefully he bounces back with a better shooting game but he still provides value. Just got to find a way to get Gafford going as he's been cold because of these different lineups and his own injuries. Great win tho.

Klay's a Plus 129 for the season. So they do better when he's on the court.

Hardy's handle is sloppy and terrible. He had run in the beginning of the year he couldn't do anything which forced Dinwiddie to take on a bigger role earlier than expected. Grimes also had to step up

@ So you prefer a dude has shot the three ball 22% worse than Hardy who leads the league in 3pt% in the entire NBA since December 1st at 56.3%. Do you even hear yourself? Also Hardy is by far the more effective scorer. It takes time and experience to run point at the NBA lever something Hardy has not honestly been fairly given. Dinwiddie is in his way much like Exum last year.

[@duty-bounddead6788]

Incredible win! Lively and PJ in the frontcourt play so so well together. Spectacular games from both of them. Grimes had an amazing game as well. Forcing a clutch turnover on Simons late in the game and getting the dagger and 1. Shoutout to Hardy too. He’s extremely impactful when he’s playing off ball. Spence is the only healthy point guard on the team that isn’t on a 2-way contract so a lot is being asked of him. I thought he did a great job facilitating tonight.

[@JohnnySmith-x2b]

If Hardy can give us 15 mins with 2 to 3 three pointers around 10 points and decent def with low turnovers we simply need to keep him and let him continue to develop. Maybe in 3 to 4 years he will be ready to step into a quality replacement for Irving when he retires. Plus Luka if he is still playing at a high level due to his health issues, Hardy might be our #2 or maybe even #1 scorer.

[@stevemohler5710]

Grimes should be on the no trade list. I'm on the fence about Hardy. He still makes stupid mistakes that we simply can't have. The inexplicable dribble out of bounds late is a prime example. I think Nico should package Maxi, Klay and maybe Hardy to land a Lou Dort type wing defender. Herb Jones?

[@gpierce85]

Mavs Media has drove me absolutely crazy and pissed me off all year with all yalls Hardy hate and criticism. Especially Slightly but Nick and Issac have most def been guilty of it too. Ever since we drafted him its been hate and doubt. While Simultaneously pumping up Josh Greens 9PPG and average Defense most nights with the occasional flash of solid defense sprinkled in here and there. When anybody with a set of functioning eyes can see Hardy is the most talented scorer and offensive player we have outside of Luka and Kyrie and its not even close. This team is too deep unfortunately for him. With enough mins and run on the floor this kid is a microwave scorer and an absolute walking bucket. He is a 15- 20PPG scorer right now easily... if its me I am evenly splitting Hardy and Dinwiddies mins unless one of them is absolutely cooking then obviously you ride the hot hand. Love me some Dinwiddie but a lot of times hes too timid and not aggressive enough hence why he is so inconsistent sometimes. You never have to worry about that with Hardy thats all him. He's aggressive and not afraid to attack and has a short memory when he misses shots and his shots not falling he finds other ways to score. Bet your ass thats not going to stop him from shooting. He understands Shooters Shoot. Eventually its always going to fall again for you sooner or later.

[@luisgomez-jordanamartin4776]

He has the un fortunate” situation that the mavs are too good. What you say is not a lie, but he is also small, has a very bad handle, and no playmaking creation. So he can be a negative more than a positive. Yeah, i think most of it is because he has not get enough time to develop, but the dallas need to win, and for winning, there are better players in the teams. Timid microwave is better than crazy spoiling water pot when you already have far more enough shot creation and playmaking in the team.

[@gpierce85]

@luisgomez-jordanamartin4776 I agree at times and no you def don't have that right now we need all the aggression if this boat is going to stay above water til Kai and Luka get back. Thats the whole problem. Right now we can't afford to be so timid. We gotta attack and hes one of if not the best shot creator on this entire team. Our offense goes way to stagnant too often right now. You need that spark to ignite the flame. Thats Hardy. We need all the offense and scoring punch possible to help make up for that damn near 65 points a game we are missing due to injury...

[@dustinbarlow1623]

No wants to admit since December 1st no one has shot the 3 better than Hardy in the entire NBA. He’s shooting it at 56.3% which is almost 22% higher than Dinwiddie and 18% higher than Grimes. You have to find a way to get Hardy minutes. There are too many games these dudes can’t score! Those games Hardy should be playing 30 minutes in. If baskets can’t go in Hardy should be on the court.

[@dustinbarlow1623]

[@lakritz1987]

In my opinion the core of Luka, Ky, PJ, Lively, Grimes, Exum is Great. I would keep them all forever. I love Gaff too. But I assume we must trade him at some point to (1) free up playing time for Lively, and (2) get a better defensive wing of starting calibre. If Naji breaks out tho, we might be able to keep Gaff 🤞🏻

[@3xtasy777]

Trading Gaff is the biggest mistake you can make right now. Not many teams have the luxury of having two starting centers.

[@butete73]

Trade Gafford??? U insane???

[@kalithechamp1412]

Hardy hasn’t been in a slump. He’s a young THJ, a volume shooter that needs reps. With all these guards on our team, he hasn’t gotten the shine he’s needed since last year. The reason we all expected hardy to take that leap this year was because of how he played when Luka and Kai were out. This year he’s barely getting 15 min a game. Now that Luka Kai AND exum are injured, he’s has the lane to take as many shots as he needs. And they’re using him as 2 rather than forcing him to play guard. Just give him reps, let him cook and hardy will be fine. It may not be this every night, but he’ll continue to improve with opportunity. The sad part is if we’re gonna make a big swing this year, he’d likely be in the package

[@dustinbarlow1623]

THJ never lead the NBA for an entire month in 3pt% Hardy has at 56.2%

[@ellieswagaye]

More than anything is that they’re finally playing him as a 2 and getting the ball out of his hands. Some ppl aren’t meant to dribble that’s okay. I mean idk why it took this long, but it’s by far the biggest reason he didn’t start the season ideally.

Great Team Win. Blazers are not a very good team but without Luka and Irving and getting very very little from Klay or Gafford. Great Win. Terrible 1st half no perimeter D. But great games from Liv, PJ, & Hardy. Let's get healthy. Make the trades we need to use Maxi, Exum to get Topin or Nance. Then use draft picks and bench players to get a backup point guard who is D focused to guard ANT or Shai or perimeter 3 point shooters. He doesn't need to be a great O player. Why did Thunder get Hartenstien & Curiso? Hartenstien and Chet can offset Liv and Gaff. Why Curiso when you have Dort and Williams & Shai so they can rotate great defenders on Luka and Irving. As in golf ( horses for courses) Thunder are designed to beat the Mavricks, Nuggets & Timberwolves.

I am unmoved by Hardy's recent shooting. I'm not hating on it. I love it for him!!! But I'm just kinda over Hardy. The turnovers and fouls on defense are really bad. To his credit though, I think last night was the 1st time I've seen him play some actual defense. He's still pretty much a blow-by waiting to happen but there were a couple of times last night where he moved his feet and made his guy try doing something else. And he also had that nice deflection from behind whenever he was put into the "Luka Jail" of being stuck on a dude's hip...that was some good defense and had the Blazers working a low shot clock. But that's how Hardy needs to move my needle. Stop being a turnover machine and put some effort in on defense.

[@dustinbarlow1623]

Yeah you are unmoved by the NBA leader in 3pt% since December 1st? Trade him to OKC they will know how to use him. Turnovers are part of a young point guards journey, Luka had a ton his rookie year.

He doesn't flop. Guys are shoving his back every time with no calls. As far for Gafford having this small stretch rn its due to his own injuries and lineup changes. Namely him and Maxi can't share the floor together as it destroys spacing and slows up the team. Maxi needs to be benched or moved

[@JohnnySmith-x2b]

Don't blow too much smoke to PJ, SD, Liv & Gaff. They have 1 solid game followed by terrible game. IMO overall they are not as good as they think they are. PJ is nowhere near a All Star western conference. At the 4, clearly AD, LM, Zion, Ingram, JDub, Gordan, Durant, Dort come to mind who I'd trade straight up for PJ in a second. For the 5, though we have 2 with Liv/Gafford not close to Joker, Wemby, Seguin, Sabonis in the Western conference. So they are good even great on some nights but very very inconsistent. Will be interesting to see how they play against Nuggets, Thunder and Rockets in upcoming games without Luka and Irving. Go Mas great opportunities upcoming to see how good our players 3 thur 8 perform drawing the other teams top defenders without Luka and Irving on the floor. We don't necessarily need them to be great just consistently GOOD. Go Mavs.

Kidd is definitely a top 20 coach in the league. There's only ~17 coaches I can see in the rankings that I think we would be better off with.

where are all the doom & gloom tankers?

Dinwiddie runs some of the worst PG I’ve seen. Dribbles into the paint, baits for a foul and chunk a bad shot and lastly complains to the ref. I think grimes is a lot more fit to run the offense as he’ll atleast pass the ball and get his teammates involved. Dinwiddie just runs at the rim and chunks shots all game.

Bro is imitating Luka's plays. Lol, crazy how he foul baits instead of focusing on attacking.

Hear me out……… what about a trade for Brandon Ingram…..

[@penalosarusselgian3298]

Terrible defender

[@MG-yj6lo]

Nah. They would be cash strapped and BI’s main skill is putting the ball in the hoop. Luka and Kai can take care of that. A Herb Jones type of player is someone you can go all in in trying to get.

Too expensive of cap

Hardy still has that tendency to be tunnel visioned. I saw Klay’s disappointment in the last play of 2nd quarter where he forced a shot in transition with Klay wide open in the corner.
