GAME 61 DIRKIE: Justin Holiday winner 80%

[SleepingHero]

Holiday coming in and being able to provide pesky defense AND hit all those threes was a huge surprise. I don't expect him to be that efficient, but if he can hit 2 to 3 threes a night that's a huge pickup from the buyout market. 

He's sorely needed on this team. He gets the Dirkie for that amazing debut. Hope to see him keep it up!

Side note, it was such a pleasure to watch Kyrie play this game. He purposefully defers early and gets everyone going. I felt like he didn't even get a shot attempt up until like 7 mins left in the first. That's pretty crazy given his talent. Then the 4th hits and you can see Kyrie going into takeover mode. He scored like 10 points in 3 mins and put the game away. 

Luka also had a noticeably faster game tonight. He pushed the pace and still did Luka things. His defense left a little to be desired, but he also dialed back a bit on complaining to the refs after his tech. Felt like since Rodney Mott was officiating, Luka knew to stay away. Good stuff from him! It also didn't hurt he hit 11/12 from free throws. I'd be ecstatic if he just came back from the ASB and became an elite FT shooter, cause that's a Luka thing to do. 10asts on 1 TO is an amazing distributing game from Luka, as always.  

Green still feels a bit stunted after his blazing hot run for 5 games. Teams have scouted him but he still is playing well.

This team is unbeatable if the 3 is going down. Shooting 52% on 3 with 42 attempts can overcome most bad defensive nights.
