NAW has been awful the last two games, but he’s got to shoot. Otherwise you can’t play him.

I still can’t get over how awful that challenge was by Micah/Finch. I hope that doesn’t come back to bite us.

NAW is so streaky. Right now he's in the midst of a ridiculously cold stretch.

We're not playing well BUT now it's our turn. Kat an Ant have to get aggressive and step up.

They’re going to have to figure out the PnR defense going forward.

Doncic 7-0 run out of that unsuccessful challenge.

No KAT/Ant so we went with a Rudy post up (never a good idea) and an early NAW three…smh.

That's right. He'll break out of it. His defense is valuable so he contributes there.

At least one of Ant or KAT is going to have to step up to finish the game. So far neither has had a good offensive game.

We need to tighten up, Kyrie and Luka are no joke.

Yep. I see now why some are bullish on Dallas, they do offer us some problems, particularly with our current playstyle. Again, marvelous job locking down the paint. Our best attack has been feeding Rudy on open looks. We aren't getting any post ups or drives.
