But for the coaching staff to rely on THJ getting hot is 1d!otic strategy.
Yes shooters shoot, but this is THJ. He can bury the team in a game and in the standings while having a great game 2 games out of 10.
Time to get Green off the corners and put THJ in there.
It would lessen the THJ brick fest.
This was the game where we needed Hardaway (or anyone else besides Din) to cook. When he doesn't it is ugly. He is not good on rotations on defense and it is tough to watch when he is missing his shots. Dallas needs at least two guys who can allow Luka to chill for stretches. Maybe Wood is one, but our options are really limited with everyone else.

Yes, he was pressing tonight and didn’t play well. No one plays well for 82 games. The takeaway should be that the Mavs have a lot of work to do to upgrade the talent on this team.
If Ja misses time, the Grizz are fine. If Curry is out for two-three weeks the Warriors can survive. This team is Luka and Luka only.
The sad part is we have been saying this for 3 years. Is it possible they have maybe reduced their talent over that time?
