To lose shooting like that is nearly impossible, requiring a catastrophic defensive disaster. And, the defense was truly atrocious. Ole, ole all night. Not a single Mav could stay in front of their man, and the paint defense was all time bad. Maybe it’s time to give Burke a shot in the rotation. It’s the only thing I can think of to ramp up the perimeter speed. I remember the Mavs tried that last year and really turned the tables on them. Right now, the Mavs look like a slow 1950s team up against a modern F1 race car. They just can’t continue to allow the Warriors to blow by them into the paint.
I don't see how they can stop them, when they don't have the team speed GS has. They have flat-footed defenders for the most part. That's why they need to upgrade the wings as well as the 5 spot.
