Bobi averaged only 10 mpg this year. I think if Trezz is at full go the Mavs won't even be able to play him that many, making it moot. At least that's Plan A. If you recall his time with us [and I saw him a bunch in Philly], there are a lot of nights where Bobi never really gets going and gets the hook. You just got to eat him up early.


I think matching up with Zu get him out of the game in the second half. At the very least, Zu isnt going to let him cruise down the lane off a PNR and establish position 8 feet from the basket. Trez just doesnt look ready yet, and thats understandable. If he doesnt have it, Green needs to step up, and Doc needs to adjust.


Yes, if Plan A doesn't work. The idea is to outquick Bobi, so that's the only flaw in matching him up with Zu. But I do think Zu looks a tad quicker since the restart so it might work. A healthy Trezz is the best solution though since Green's game is not really in the paint. Trezz can just snake right around Bobi.

Green may be a better option especially with Harrell seemingly slow a step. Green would pull Bobi away from the basket on defense.

Harrell has also been a step slow on defense. Clippers don’t have the time for him to play into shape. Green may have to play more- he stretches the floor and is a better defender

Trez clearly isn't ready for the playoffs yet, though. A coach has to coach for the roster they have, not the one they wish they had.

Green was complete garbage in Game 2. In the 13 minutes he played we were minus-21 a team-worst by far. You could easily blame him as one of the major factors in the loss. For some reason he always gets a pass.

Besides, we are not going to win a title unless we get the real Trezz back, and you just don't get that running in the gym on the day off between games. You get in playing shape by playing. We HAVE to invest the PT in him. You just have to hope he's close and will snap back any minute now.

I like it. Focus on the offensive actions. Dallas has played very good defense the first two games, but there has been very little movement and too much ISO ball. We should be able to dictate what we want on offense. Combine that with a defensive improvement and you have the recipe for a regular season-ish win over the Mavs (Lots of Luka turnovers, enough defense to allow our offense to control the game).
Plus, why would I want to go to the NBA? Duke players suck in the pros.

Better pace but Harrell can’t let Luka just go at him like that

Good change in coverage. Zu is dropping, but we are switching the nearest wing onto Luka, and Zu protects the paint and recover to the wing. Also, Kawhi on Zinger eliminates the initial action in the PNR which Dallas has been killing us on. Zu starting on DFS. Good chess match and guys came to play on D tonight.
