Let Edwards rest a bit. Too much ISO

Randle and Ant looking great today. A lot less iso than normal and good effort on both ends. DDV hitting shots too. I like what I am seeing!

Yes way too sticky toward the end of 3rd qtr by both Randle and Ant. I really didn't like the last 4 minutes of 3rd. Playing with food again.

Reid needs to learn when to set screens like now for DDV, and when to slip

Randle could end up with a triple double.

Trying to give it away in spectacular fashion

Finch better get ready to call a timeout, Kyrie is going to run away with this one. They need to knock Kyrie a time or two to break the rhythm

For God sake, can we play 9 minutes of smart basketball?

I’m really liking DDV this game.

This is turning into a bad Ant/Randle game the second half. Zero passing from both. Does Finch has the guts to take them out of the game?

As much as we have Randle problem, I think finch and Edwards have been making life for Randle easier in offense.

Every shot is difficult. How many Ant ISO did we run and how many points did we get? We need a 28 point lead to have a chance to win a game :nonono:

So Finch put Conley, despite DAL creating mismatch to give Irving easiest defender in EVERY attack?

The Ant/Randle iso ball has been pretty awful in the second half. No ball movement has lead to a ton of turnovers and terrible shots.
