MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

This is where my focus will be when we get to the playoffs. Will Gafford (or Lively) be played off the court? Before the year i would have said yes it is likely. At this point I’m not sure. 

I do believe that if we are able to effectively use both we will make a long run. It’s so devastating for other teams when we can take total control of the paint. 

The times that bigs really get played off the floor historically has been against the elite small ball teams like the Warriors or Mavs from 2 years ago. Potentially the clippers this year. Last nights game Gafford destroyed them. I don’t see how any plan from GS could have played him off the court. It takes almost perfect play from small ball to win these days

Good answer!

Last night Gaff repeatedly switched onto CP and (less frequently) Steph on the perimeter. He held his own. Because of this, I thought it was Gaff’s best game as a Mav. He and PJ both. I absolutely LOVE that they’re getting their feet wet in this no-whistle, playoff-like environment too. If this team can get healthy, watch out!
