Eight points 2/6 on shots, 3 turnovers… Like Davis Bertans (0 points), Spencer Dinwiddie missed his return to Washington on the occasion of a very heavy defeat conceded by the Mavs. This match comes to stop the beautiful dynamics of the leader who remained on 16 consecutive matches with 11 points scored or more with the Mavs.
He has experienced a real renaissance since his transfer to Texas in mid-February. “ Getting kicked out was a really strange feeling “, had dropped the former Nets a few weeks after this exchange.
The point guard had displayed some resentment over the choices that had been made by the Wizards. “They wanted me to pass more because they felt like I was scoring a lot, I did. I eased off on the scoring side, because they thought the team also needed to get shots for Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, those guys… I said, ‘Listen , I have already been paid. If you feel like getting the shots you need, that’s fine with me.”
Ahead of tonight’s encounter, the 28-year-old has been revived on his comments at the time. Trying to be “as diplomatic as possible” when the question is asked, the leader first briefly returns to the hazards suffered by the team before the transfer: injury to Bradley Beal, placements in Covid quarantine, long absence of Rui Hachimura…
“Comments on the locker room that validated what I said”
« I said what I said about the franchise. Themselves made comments about the locker room that validated what I said “Judges the leader whose speech in this same locker room had gone badly. Spencer Dinwiddie is probably referring to the words of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope who had testified, like Davis Bertans, to the bad atmosphere internally.
« But in the end, this streak of about twenty matches since the ‘All-Star break’ kind of validated what I said. “, he adds. In terms of the distribution of shots, Kyle Kuzma and “KCP” (35 points last night) were indeed the big winners of this exchange since the two former Lakers are hot on the heels of Kristaps Porzingis in “scoring” with an average close to 20 points per games since the February break.
On the other hand, collectively, the Wizards have a record of 10 wins and 14 losses since the transfer, where the Mavs have chained 16 wins and 7 losses. Which makes the former Wizard say: We can let them start their offseason while we go to the playoffs, to keep moving forward. »
