He gives him the backdoor every single time. Nowitzki shouldn't be able to take Ibaka off the dribble.

Roberson shut Barea's ass down.

Not sure I've ever seen a team employ the "Hack-a-______" method on the opponent's SG.

I've liked our defense so far. The offense not so much, but we've got a good lead anyway. Now we need to keep this up because the Mavericks won't continue missing everything.

The way we're hedging the pick and roll is the way we defended it under Brooks btw....

Russ again shoots a deep 3 for no reason

Lol wtf Russ

This is that kind of game for Russ: Create shots for your teammates and be done with it.

Jeez, I feel real bad for Carlisle.

This offensive performance's been nothing special. Same old vices.

Serge is ballin

Singler haha

Hubie just said Singler came on strong the last two months of the season, especially with the three-ball...

I respect Hubie and all, but what is he smokin'? Singler shot 27% from three in March and April.

Pretty much what you want in the first game of a playoff series you should win.

Huestis about to get 8 minutes of burn in a playoff game!

Time for Payne today would have been invaluable.

NaturalThunder · Post #98 » by **NaturalThunder** » Sun Apr 17, 2016 3:50 am

We're up by 40 with 7 minutes to go in a playoff game.

At the end of the day we'll need Morrow and Foye's contributions more than what Payne would give us.

We don't need Foye at all. Payne is the key to our bench and he always has been.

Yah, we absolutely need Foye's experience in the playoffs.
And the key to our bench is Kanter and Waiters, Singler to a lesser extent and obviously Collison. When they play well and within the system, our bench is easily one of th best in the league. As we are seeing right now.

Foye has been to the Playoffs once.

Waiters is key as in we improve with every minute he doesn't spend on the floor.

And I don't know what team you're talking about but if course this bench isn't one of the best in the league. It's the other way around actually.
