Plus, I think DAL is getting a pretty good handle on perimeter defense. Deny/contest the 3pt line and feed drives into the teeth of our shot blockers.
BTW, doesn't KP have a history of problems with smaller, active defenders? Just trying to remember what limited his effectiveness in DAL (other than the injuries).
Historically KP has had an issue with smaller defenders, but recently he has been able to punish that in the post.
