I like these guys, they're a pretty good listen. Lots of stuff that we talk about in this episode
Too Long Won't Listen Summary:
Too Long Won't Listen Summary:
- Made fun of Mavs Twitter for thinking that moving 2 minutes of Luka from the 3rd quarter to the 4th was the key to the win.
- This starting lineup is their favorite, has been their favorite (even though the #s aren't great so far) because of the combo of shooting, defense and playmaking.
- Loved Maxi's defense and Maxi/DFS defense down the stretch.
- Is the minutes distribution (high minutes for starters) a sign that Rick thought of this as a must win or is it a sign of the minutes distribution moving forward (set starters and shortened rotation)?
- KP stated after the game that he attacked the boards because he wanted to do things other than score.
- Nick and Isaac liked that KP, DFS and Maxi were more versatile offensively rather than just doing the same things over and over again. They detailed some different offensive things that KP did they they liked.
- They would like to see more KP with DFS at 4, though that lineup with back up guards didn't work at all in this game.
- Liked J. Jackon's scoring in his short stint but think that he needs to develop more of his game (other than shooting) to be able to break into the rotation.
- Really funny Harp quote involving THJ: Skin: "The Mavs really like to play Brunson, Wright and Hardaway JR. together."...pause....Harper: That's "Two really intelligent players."
- Talked about the Luka 4th quarter minutes Twitter dust up (without making fun of it this time). "Do you want Rick to take Luka out during a big 3rd quarter run? OR do you want to stop the run to save him for some 4th quarter minutes?" The lineup that started the 4th played great. Delon had a really great sequence in the 4th.
- Talked about how great Luka is but also talked about his struggles in this game (shooting, assist hunting in the 4th). Gushed about some of his amazing plays.
