Solid half. Mavs gave up a big run when SD, THJ and Wood shared the floor. McGee with his best game so far. Luka sloppy but even at his "worst" he is by far the best player on the team.

Yes, space is important, and when those guys aren't a threat it's too easy to mess with Luka's chi.
I know you know this, dirkfan. Just agreeing with you.

...on the floor, imo, which is really saying something tonight, especially since he is playing sloppily.

That´s one aspect. But I think defense is the bigger problem. Just couldn´t get a stop.

I don't usually post tweets from random people, but this is one I happen to really agree with:

So far this season, DFS's man is sticking with him much more often than the beginning of past seasons. Between that and the Wood/THJ experience, he's not going to get a ton of shot opportunities this year relative to past years, I don't think.

Best random stat of the first half:
Luka with THREE three-point attempts. On pace for 6 and not 11 for the game....yay!

Because they're getting him switched onto Patty Mills, not Nic Claxton. If Nash is any kind of coach this will be corrected at half time. He's just too big for Mills or Irving in the half court.

I think this is more about the way teams are playing Luka. So far they haven´t doubled or trapped him as much as last season. Aren´t willing to give up open 3s and let him go 1vs1 with late help when he drives to the rim.
The cross court pass that lead to most of DFS´s open corner 3s hasn´t been there this season.

Holy crap, I'm sitting in my office and yelled out "What the" at that McGee blunder.

Worst part is that it looked like a designed play call to start the quarter. Curl screen for McGee. What are they doing?
RE: GAME 4: DAL (1-2) @ BRK (1-3) | Oct 27, 6:30 pm | Mavs 2.5 pt (Vegas) favs - KillerLeft - 10-27-2022
Irving with the quick pull up three, right after a 1-5 screen, because he knows McGee's slow ass won't be ready.
Early substitution! Good decision JKidd!!!!!!!!
Immediately better at BOTH ends.

These Maxi as the only big lineups have been atrocious defensively.

Everyone's back and they still can't even stop the ball in transition.

Kidd forgot about Wood?

That last possession was rough, I'll grant you that.
Overall, I do not agree, especially relative to the McGee minutes.

In a game were those lineups have by far the best +/-???

Just using my eyes over the course of 3.5 games.

Yeah, I immediately liked the defensive intensity and activity 100x more.
I think there have been a couple of really bad mental errors since the change, however. Maybe that's what he's keying on to form the opinion.
Anything's better than nonstop pull-up (shoot around difficulty) jumpers against McGee's drop coverage, imo.

You have to remember him in the first place to forget him.
