GAME 2 PLAYOFF DIRKIE: PJ !!!!!!!!!!!

[The Jom]

One of the better games I’ve seen the Mavs play top to bottom of the main rotation.  Exum’s poor play knocked him out of the rotation.  The top 8 were all good. Lively seemed to struggle the most, but +18 isn’t a fluke. He must have done something right.

Lively struggled offensively. He was a +18 because of his defense. He makes such a difference to this team. 

Exum is struggling, yes. But I’d play him before Giddy if they were both on my team. That kid isn’t likely to start another game. And his 11 minutes tonight may be his high from here on out.
