If you've wondered where the Mavs would find a third scoring threat, they just may have found it...In their center combo of Lively & Gafford. In 7 games since the lineup change those two have combined for 25.4 pts on 82.6 FG%. Throw in 13.3 rebs and 3.29 Blks just for fun
I have been saying this for years.... get 2x athletic, mobile, rim-running, rim-protecting Centers instead of the muppet king clowns Dwight, Boban, Javale, etc... and they will give the Mavs 20-25 PPG while providing a whole lot more on defense too.
Anyway, the Mavs really should be getting a total of 20-25 PPG each from the PF and SG positions too. And another 10-15 points in total from Luka's and Kyrie's backups at SF and PG respectively.
20-25 from C
+ 20-25 PPG from PF
+ 20-25 PPG from SG
+ 10-15 PPG from Luka and Kyrie backups
= 70-90 PPG from players not named Luka and Kyrie, while those players also give better defense than THJ.
