When the Draymond 3-ball becomes the teams best weapon, it's time to rethink this baskeball thing.

Dray goes 3 of 3 from deep the last 3 possessions to cut the Mavs lead to only 13 in the first quarter

Jk needs to go. I don’t care if it’s just as an expiring.

We're on track for 132 points.

However, they are on track for 184 points.

If my calculations are correct, they would win.

Draymond leading the team in FGA (7) through 1Q.. that's not a good idea

What Kerr needs to do is try and set up Hield early, run set plays designed to get him open looks. If he hits, ride it. If he doesnt, plan B. But the way he's being used now isnt going to work most nights... Buddy's not good enough to create his own looks or be an offensive focal point

The problem is that he’s like the 4th option in the starting lineup. We’re trying to showcase Wiggins and jk in the starting lineup for some reason.

Good Podz hustle play for that offensive board to get Lindy the triple.

For some reason? Kuminga is capable of getting buckets and so is Wiggins. If those two can get it going then it makes that lineup that much more deadly having two elite shooters too. It works for both sides -- if Curry & Hield are going off then they can make the defense if they double and giving it up to wiggins or jk.

Yes for some reason. Most teams try to get their best scorers looks. We try to get jk going because he might be good 5 years from now. He struggles against like sized athletes currently.

JK getting buckets is most times not due to motion offense.. its not something that opens up things for others. Especially when the Mavs have a good interior shot blocker who covers a ton of ground

JK's not the problem, its him being thrust into a position where a lot of things depend on his initial success.. that's not a good idea. You'd want a more consistent player doing that
