Game 23: LA Lakers (14-10) vs. Dallas Mavericks (15-8) | 125-127 WIN!!!

[KillerLeft]

While Hardaway was great with his catch-and-shoot, he was lousy when Luka left the game. He tries to do too much and forces shots. Hardaway has a very specific role to play. His effectiveness diminishes without a better player managing the game.

For sure. He's a catch and shoot guy. I believe he's improved significantly at scoring off of the dribble this year, but the moments wherein he brilliantly sets up a teammate are few and far between (although there was one really good one last night). 

I don't believe this is the scathing indictment some think it is. He's REALLY good at what he's REALLY good at.
