Pels are slumping right now so they’re always bound for a bounds back.

2 straight road games in the big easy, a split would be fantastic.

I imagine Grant Williams will be on Zion and DJJ on Ingram. I think we can play off Zion and clog the paint, but he’ll still get to the cup. Looked explosive against Houston and still has that quick 2nd jump.

If our bigs can stay out of foul trouble then I think we win easily.

Without CJ we can go 2-0... Their bigs are very good of course.

I am curious to see Grant on Zion.

D-Rex with another great game.

I really like JKidd’s strategy of, send OMax down to play with the legends when he can and bring him with the team at the same time. Gets his reps in, keeps him with the team and his confidence up. And it’s not really a back to back if you really don’t play in one of the games.

Good start. Suffocating defense at the end of the Q was great to see. Kyrie in particular has been very engaged defensively.

THJ might not be going anywhere anytime soon.

Bad turnover by green but he recovered it by forcing a turnover on Zion. It doesn’t have to be a competition between him and Exum when they’re both playing well. That bench group of Kyrie, Powell, Green, Exum, and THJ really sparked.

Lively just can’t get those dumb fouls. He’s still young though it’s gonna happen all season.

Some things never change. THJ has been good this year but man his transition decisions and lack of finishing ability at the rim is always frustrating.

Phew, they managed to close with a 3 after giving up 6 points off the lead.
Great 2nd quarter, but someone needs to join Kai/Luka, and THJ shouldn't finish fadtbreaks.

Great ball movement at the last possession. Not to mention Kyrie being so poised to shoot that with the time dwindling. It looked late in the feed I was watching but if it counts, I'll take it!

Love to see that. Last year that was 100% going to be a step back 3 hoist.

Block by Lively leads to an Irving 3. Offense is right now

Can really tell that Grant feels desperate to score after getting cooked against the raptors, fouling against LA, and now not hitting his shots tonight. However, his defense has been really good tonight so he should hang his hat on that.

With, Grant, Josh picking it up tonight, DJJ having a career year, and Exum’s career resurgence being real Dallas all of a sudden has a lot of bodies to throw at the opposing team.

It was obviously not a foul on Powell so it’s basically free.
