12/15 - Game 25: Mavericks (16-9) @ Warriors (14-10) 5:30pm PST

[multo]

Mavs are just in a zone. Defense has been bad but they are literally hitting everything.

[Onus]

Mavs are hitting a ton of contested jumpers.

Can they really do this all 4 quarters? I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have to play since Tuesday.

[Crazy-Canuck]

It doesn't though. Jk is strictly iso and has tunnel vision for the rim. Teams don't need to help on him, so defense doesn't move. Guard him into the lane into their C. That's it.

I'd love to see one response to this, this same argument happens over and over and as soon as this is brought up, it goes silent and then re-appears a day or two later

Like I said I'm not a Kuminga fan, but Warriors need guys who can create offense for themselves outside of Steph. If the Warriors feature kuminga early in the game for some looks i'm not mad it. SOMEONE needs to score.

30% usg with a 51 ts doesnt scream let him go to work. Yes, we do need what jk can do sometimes. But when the motion is going, watch how out of place jk is. The ball swings. He stops. A buffered process. Then will hoist or attack. Off the ball, he doesnt move. And since he isn't a threat to shoot, they just sag into the paint waiting for steph.

Off the bench, sure, let him go to work.

Running a set for Curry or Hield would be nice

Ok they do need someone who can do that. But there's no need to force that situation in Q1, the team should do what they are good at until Dallas forces them to play that way. Why would the team willingly do something they are worse at to start the game? And then on top of that, why would they do it in a matchup thats bad for him?

It's not that serious. With that lineup what were we expecting? Curry & Hield to launch 3s every possession? Both Wiggins & JK are capable of scoring.

Did you see the beginning of the game?

"Its not that serious, just one game"... yeah and they keep adding up. One game, not serious, one season? How about 3?

I was expecting them to run plays for their shooters, putting them together is explicitly for the reason of giving them each easier looks. Instead they ran no-motion offense and let Wiggins and JK attack off the dribble for nearly every possession the first 5 minutes. Thats ok with you?

[cpower]

Podz and Hields are just running around like headless chicken...

[CDM_Stats]

Wiggins/Hield 2 man PnR, results in a rushed Buddy 3... this is exactly what I mean. This isn't a good offense, its an offense begging for someone to give it structure

[CDM_Stats]

on the plus side, despite not doing much else, Dray is hitting 3s and TJD is grabbing boards with some heart

Agree to disagree

Dinwiddie is the best Warrior to never put on the jersey

I have more issues with the defense to start the game. Without dray starting, we lose alot of our edge.

[cpower]

Steve kerr chose offense over defense this game and got burnt. Ive never seen so many open shots in my life.

Also yes, but I dont think the Warriors were winning this game anyways. Mavs were on fire. And also I think Dray's been pretty bad tonight defensively. A lot of quit in him this year on closeouts and in transition

lol its always good to remember that it most definitely could be worse

Pretty much saying - enjoy the game because we have different opinions. Dont have time to go back and forth over it.
