Yeah, good point.

But listening to Tim Legler on Zach Lowe just now and he’s like “Dallas just needs to generate enough good looks to keep the game within a couple possessions down the stretch so Luka can exploit his advantage in a possession game.”

I agree with you tho, when you look at Gafford, Josh Green, Derrick Jones Jr., can they get enough multiple actions to keep it close, are they capable of that type of offense. Because Luka looked gassed by the end of the third trying to do so much by himself.

After seeing how effective Indiana Pacers ball movement attack fared against our defense, I’d expect Dallas intends to move the ball way more for GM 2.

Something to follow…


They don't have as many players who can create, nor do they want to take the ball our of Kyrie and more so Luka a lot to give it to others to make plays.

Celtics are in their head. 3-0 on the season and not a single one of those games have been close.

Boston is the only team stopping Boston at this point.

They can’t just suddenly play like the pacers out of nowhere. Luka plays the LeBron brand of basketball. Him and Kyrie are both iso heavy players. There might be an attempt to play quick out the gate but there’s no chance Dallas can play the way Indy plays for an entire game

Jason Kidd doesn’t know how to weaponize his time.

Looks like Jrue took the bait on the best player thing and somewhat agreed with Kidd. Man if Kidd nuked our season with one stupid comment I’m done with this entire squad.

I think the only wrong move is to say “everyone knows JT is our best player.”

Agreeing JB is the best player isn’t a terrible answer— that’s giving him recognition and the locker room likely knows JT would be bothered less by that response than JB would take hearing everyone just say JT is better.

I think Al had the best answer and pretty much just said JB is an excellent player and left it at that. That’s the absolute best way to handle it.

The best answer would have been he is.. a lot of nights. A lot of nights it’s Jayson. Sometimes it’s D White, KP, Al or Jrue. It’s how the team was built.

I want another 20 point win tomorrow. Show these guys they're not on our level.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)
