A few nights ago I asked Jason Kidd whether the Mavs need a dependable third scorer. He indicated that night that a group approach would be OK, waiting for the hot hand each night.

Now? "I would make it a lot easier if we have a third scorer. I think P.J. is trending that way."

I really hope this is the way to go. Not a fan of THJ shot selection looking to chuck every ball he gets in those minutes one of Luka and Kyrie are not on court. Mavs could and should be playing a much more team friendly offense in those minutes. And also diversify offense a bit, not just depend on stars and three point shooting

I agree with the ISO strategy when both are on the court. The goal of this would be to either efficiently score in ISO situations (Luka and Kyrie can efficiently cook most of defenders) or force the opponent to double the star (probably Luka), which should make Mavs offense far easier.
