And notice how he took zero credit. Gave it all up to his team mates. Dude dropped 22 and 18 with 3 emphatic blocks and DPOY defense and he raved about his team mate.
And he signed a fan's jersey on the way back to the locker room. KP is a man of the fans.

Good dude plus a winning team works wonders. He probably had his doubts about Dallas when he was traded, or rather probably preferred a different destination, but hopefully that is a distant memory.

Celtics aren't that great. Dallas just played like CRAP at home against them.

When we decide we want to play at a high level at home and take pride in defending home court, we might have a real contender.

More distractions at home for young teams.
Better structure provided by the on team especially on longer road trips.

If I were a gambling man, I'd go with the Heat. Yes, the Heat are tough. I’d take another Mavs-Heat finals. Carlisle versus Spo is always great.

Amazing stretch
Even with Luka a 3-3 split through this 6 game stretch was going to be acceptable
We're already 3 and 2
Maintaining this and getting a top 4 seed would be HUGE

This is the game where I fell in love with KP the Mav. Luka's injury has been the best thing that could happen to him - and the best thing that could happen to the Mavs, as long as the injury doesn't nag at Luka the rest of the year.

One more awesome thing to me (besides the score obviously)...Mavs outrebound the Sixers again.
Dallas is 4th in the NBA in rebounding.
All of us who thought that KP couldn't rebound are taking it in the shorts... KP is 19th in the NBA with 9.5/game. And we're without Luka who's 18th in rebounding with 9.6...
Rebounding ISN'T an issue at all.

So do the Carlisle haters think the Mavs had the most basketball talent on the floor tonight? Or that their record for the season underperforms their talent level?

So far, this season, since the second Knicks loss, is Rick's second masterpiece.

Rick has to be in the COTY talk. No way he isn't up there.

Rick understands floor spacing. With the best point guard in the NBA, things become so much easier. Even with Doncic out, everyone understands their roles, because they have flourished in them. Sports is ALOT about confidence and Mavs role players are playing with confidence in their roles.
Rick has always been one of the top 3-4 coaches in the league, but he needed talent and a floor general. His coaching style always starts and ends with the floor general who can build on the gameplan.
Is Dallas playing above their talent? No. In fact there is a lot of talent development left before any talent "ceiling" on this team. I don't think the deep bench is going to be an asset in the playoffs. Nor is the average defense.
The Celtics and the Clippers and the Lakers and the Bucks have a couple defensive gears we don't have. THAT can't be coached as well. That has to be traded for.

One of the ways the NBA is changing so fast....Stan Van Gundy calls Philly "probably the best rebounding team" in the NBA...and you'd think so, I mean, I would have agreed with that off the cuff, without research...BUT...
They are 12th in rebounding. The Mavs are 4th. The Bucks are #1 in total rebounds and #1 in offensive rebounds.
Sorry Stan, not even close.

Obviously, they have that banger we're lacking
