If Washington can keep scoring that would be big for the Mavs.

Kind of a misleading tweet, especially given that he was around 1.5% below league-average for efficiency (although actually +0.3% rTS for the playoffs). The rest of his performance was pretty damned good, though, and he shot a hair over 39% from 3 on the series and about 48.5% inside the arc (which was ass, and about 9% worse than his RS 2FG%). He was struggling to make shots the whole series to a rough extent, and that move from +3.7% rTS to +0.3% is a big shift in his utility as a volume scorer, so it's accurate to crack on him for his performance (albeit while recognizing the issues his knees are presenting), if only a little. He did a pile of other stuff while he was struggling, though, and it's worth noting how much he ramped down his shooting volume. 23.6 FGA/g in the RS, 25.5 in the first round, 19.0 FGA/g against the Thunder.
Looks to me like he recognized what was up and made an adjustment so he wasn't canning the team by chucking, which is nice to see. Very anti-Westbrook.
