RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-19-2022 I hope this isn't a flagrant 2 on Maxi Wow a common foul only?? I never thought I'd see a day where that much contact be ruled a regular foul in today's NBA.

I could be a little harsh but there is a noted difference in the overall defense when THJ is out there versus Bullock/Green and even S. Brown. I’m not trying to defend THJ because I agree he has been really bad at times this year. But I’ve seen Bullock get blown by at least three times already in this game, and I was not shocked. I sure am ready for Luka to start making some threes again.

I also thought THJ gave up too much space down low. Not much you can do against the Siakam fadeaway but he still didn't do his work early. Of course there is. Three mentioned guys are plus defenders but it´s not like VanVleet isn´t blowing by Bullock or Brown. Maybe Green is quick enough to stay in front of him. Double teams off of Boucher and Siakam seem to be part of the game plan because he isn´t the only one that is doing it. RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-19-2022 Luka's definitely in a groove right now offensively. Even if the shots aren't dropping. But one thing I've noticed is the lack of ball movement the last 2-3 minutes. Basically been Luka do everything that ends in a basket for him or 1 perfect pass where someones open. Not saying its a bad thing just an observation. DODO WHAT! Didn't think he had that finesse in him. Also not surprising as soon THJ goes to the bench the Mavs go on a 10-2 run. RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - dirkfansince1998 - 01-19-2022 Great defense from Kleber and Powell. Cannot play the pick and roll any better. RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - KillerLeft - 01-19-2022 DFS WITH THE REVERSE??? RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-19-2022 The Luka Brunson connection there! So good to see. RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - KillerLeft - 01-19-2022 Clearly, an effective defensive adjustment was made because the Raptors are shooting exclusively long twos now. I’m really becoming a fan of Kidd’s defensive coaching. RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - BolsDamols - 01-19-2022 Loving this Luka - getting by people again, making his free throws (83% last 13 games!), making defensive plays, seems to complain less..hopefully the three point shot is next to improve RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-19-2022 Listened to Jonathan Tjarks on the Ringer with Kevin O'Conner and he basically reasoned that Luka is posting up people so much this year because it's the easiest offense to do if you're out of shape.

Now they're 18th. RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-19-2022 KP's shot smooth like butter. Also that should be a challenge cause Kleber got all ball. RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - KillerLeft - 01-19-2022 KP has it going RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-19-2022 Damn Dodo failed KP there.

Sometimes I wonder if the players really think that they didn´t foul or if it just part of the game to argue over every single call. RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-19-2022 GREAT defense by THJ there. Fantastic charge.

When you're in the heat of the moment very rarely are you going to admit you did something wrong unless it was so obvious or intentional. RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-19-2022 Pretty good first half from both teams. RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - KillerLeft - 01-19-2022 Really good game. Both teams playing well. Really need to do something about the defensive glass in the second half.

RE: GAME 45: TOR (21-20) @ DAL (25-19) | Mavs +3.5 pt Vegas Favorites - dirkfansince1998 - 01-19-2022 We will just pretend that the last two Dodo attempts never happened. |
