I just hope it's not a one off situation. IMO, this type of lineup should start every game for the Mavs.I’m curious to see if we can get away with Luka / Richardson / Finney-Smith from 1-3 in the playmaking & shooting department.
I got some reservations to that with Maxi/WCS but would LOVE to see if it works once KP is back.
That way we might be able to surround Luka with plus defenders at every position.
PG: Luka (defends worst wing)
SG: JRich (defends best ballhandler)
SF: Finney-Smith (defends best wing)
Big 1: KP (defends inside)
Big 2: Maxi or WCS
Re the game: could not watch it, but I’m just glad RC finally tore up the starting unit. That unit has been dysfunctional almost every time they stepped on the court. I hope we‘re done seeing that group.
Also re Powell: love him off the bench against lesser competition. We need him to play himself into shape and he’s much better off facing bench units than starters during his rehab period. It’s a miracle that he’s even on the floor this early.
