I haven't been able to listen/watch any podcasts yet but a lot of what's been covered here already is sure to be the main talking points. IMO, the biggest thing the Mavs can do in Game 1 is just dare KP to beat you. Attack him in the PnR on offense and make him the guy you rotate from on the defensive end. Test the knee and rust the first half. If he hits 5 threes then he might beat you. I'd just make him prove it!
Exactly what I'm thinking
and I feel like people around here are way underrating how good Tatum can be. Only person in this series with multiple 50+ point games in the playoffs
I hope we gear the defense around forcing him and Brown into tough shots. If the others (especially the centers) hit the 3's so be it
