GAME 6: ORL (1-6) @ DAL (3-3) | 114-105 win

[Chicagojk]

I am glad I recorded that game and saw the score before watching.  Otherwise, that would have been a frustrating watch after last night.   I might need to start doing that early in the season.

I agree as good as Luka has been it can't be sustainable.   Although we have seen some good non Luka minutes the last few games.  The pace is faster, the ball movement is good and the energy is good with that group.   It would be great if we could see a similar production this year with our bench as we saw last year.   We just need more from the starting lineup.

The body language on McGee is awful.   No urgency from him.    I don't know how you can continue to start him if you need to pull him 3-4 minutes into a game.   

Looking big picture, I am not crazy on what I have seen from the Mavs yet.  On the other hand a lot of teams are looking very beatable on certain nights.    So maybe we all got to take a deep breath and hope they come together like they did last year.   At the moment it is tough to imagine we have enough though.

I thought Din was active in the third quarter when we were trading buckets.  Some nice takes at the rim.  But then I look at his stats after the game and they are not very impressive.    He needs to be aggressive playing with Luka.  Take advantage of the defense focusing on Luka and get to the rim.  

Hardaway also had a real nice stretch in the second half but his stats don't look impressive either.    I want him to be aggressive though.  Hopefully shooting at a higher percentage.
