@illkid131313I agree with everyone. Love it except bogut
@nygiants only thing Carlisle has said is that he will be a true game time decision. My advice would be to stay away from D-Will regardless. IF he plays and that is a major IF, he will only be used if/when they absolutely need him on offense because those sports hernias are no joke and he is a liability. Harris should hit value, but it is not likely he gets more than 20 FP
gpp thoughts 
I don't hate it if people sit but it is mighty risky if players that are gtd end up playing
OK back to fixing GPP 1. I figured you might hate Matthews on this one, but I feel like if that 3 is dropping, he could easily hit 30+FPS. Thoughts here? If you do like this one, which of the ones I posted do you like the best? Thanks Zach and CoolCutter as always!
@CoolCutter I hear you on Anderson. Punting to him has burned me a few times this year. I just think that if the game goes as scripted (Westbrook/Durant come out guns blazing) the Mavs will be forced to play both him and Matthews quite a bit for defense and energ
@Anthony.kendalb I really like that lineup.
Your theory on Anderson makes perfect sense. I'm just not going with him. Like I said though, he's not a terrible option at all.
@anthony how can you play Howard over Jonas? Howard has stunk and Jonas has been one of the best players in the playoffs
@Zach I agree on Jonas, but I am already playing him in 2 of my 3 higher stakes GPP and don't want to be sunk if he throws up a random clunker and I think 3 Raptors in one lineup may be overkill. While Howard hasn't been playing well, he still put up over 30FPS in a bad game last time. I feel like he has the potential to put up a monster game IF Houston finally decides to utilize him how they should in a pick and roll scheme rather than this Harden ISO shoot a 3 or drive and try to draw contact crap that clearly has not been working
while you may not agree with the Howard play, do you agree with not stacking every lineup with the same player so they don't sink every lineup with bad game?
Unfortunately I think you may be right in that Houston is too stupid to use him properly. How do you feel about fading him for a value center and upgrading to Ariza and hoping his shot starts dropping
Or how about a Capela punt over Patterson for that matter? He has the upside, it's just a matter of if he actually gets the minutes to produce..
@Anthony.kendalb @zachsgotmoxy I noticed that too but agree you should switch it up just in case. Jonas is definitely a better option but I rarely go with any one player in every lineup unless its a top 5 superstar. Even then I usually don't.
Carlisle just came out and said Dirk is probable. Of the questionable guys he said this.
"All will be game time decisions. If I had to guess I would say D-Will no. Barea yes. Lee maybe."
With that info on Barea, would that change your view on Felton and/or Matthews
thoughts I don't trust the mavs to even run those earlier lineups
@nygiants I don't blame you man. Only place I feel comfortable rolling with Mavs right now until I hear something definite is in the quarter arcade.
I'm thinking maybe Monta Ellis as a pivot off of Felton but even he is questionable
How about this pivot to Monta Ellis/Penis Kanter from Howard/Felton?
@nygiants I think all of the admins checked out, but my advice for the Mavs as a die hard fan insider is this:For cheap GPPs like the quarter arcade, everyone is in play except for D-Will who is for sure out and Harris as he will be buried on the depth chart (Dirk may be a good dark horse play despite being cold lately based on his playoff history). For more expensive GPPs the only Mav I would consider is Matthews who will play 30+ minutes regardless.
For what it is worth I like your last lineup a lot, but would consider Matthews over Beverly who has been worthless lately
@Anthony.kendalb Yes I like Monta over Felton. I'm good with Wes Matthews though. I'm avoiding all the big men in Dallas too though. David Lee could play 2 minutes or 18 minutes. Barea scares me too a bit. Again, I just don't know how many minutes he'll play. I have no Mavs in, but Wes and Felton are probably the safest if you insist on them,
I also really like that last lineup
