I think they'll play a lot like our bench has played the last few years, sound, unselfish, together and scrappy. Yeah, that's a couple of really nice pre-game posts! I figured @"Scott41theMavs" would stop by to say so. (12-15-2019, 08:54 PM)fifteenth Wrote: Scott, you have produced some if the best crow eating posts of all time. I'm hoping for another one!

Is it bad form to keep quoting myself?

I think they'll play a lot like our bench has played the last few years, sound, unselfish, together and scrappy. Let's not forget that they had Hayward and Smart out as well. For sure the two don't have the impact on their team that Luka has on ours, but it's worth noting IMO. (12-19-2019, 01:00 PM)fifteenth Wrote:Naw, it's all good!

Which turned out to be the case. The Celts are so aggressive to the rim and have numerous players who can finish and draw fouls. They are disciplined and their defense is top notch. I think the Bucks are going to have their hands full with Boston in the East. Having watched a good bit of the Sixers vs Heat game, the Sixers look to me beatable for the Mavs. Embid is just not very disciplined and tends to chuck that three point shot way too much. And with Simmons on the floor, they really only have four shooters on the court. Against the Sixers, I would go with more Wright and less Brunson. |
