I loved watching the game last night though to be honest, I only watched the 2nd half so far. The Mavs seemed to be playing well and hanging in there for the longest time, yet it felt like Denver was going to do whatever it took to hold us off......until the didn't.
Luka was so awesome, even while he made some mistakes. The Mavs in general were clutch in winning time.
A point I want to add is about one of my new favorite players, Jason Richardson. He is our best defender and was very effective against a player who thinks he can make every shot. Like many of the top 2 way players whose best asset is defense, sometimes he really wants to back at his opponent on the offensive end as well. That does not always work, but I think that just comes with the mentality of many great defenders, especially win they do have decent to good offensive skills.
My conclusion, I do not mind JRich when he does this. I have watched this dynamic for so many years. JRich and now maybe WCS are a big part of why we are becoming an above average defensive team.
