2024 Playoffs- 3rd Round: Minnesota Timberwolves - Dallas Mavericks- MAVS WIN 4-1!

[Smitty]

I'm not saying you're wrong, because we might very well see them try that at some point in the series, but if they do, that's a tactical win for Dallas, because Kyrie won't even need a screen to beat Conley, which means Dallas can easily position offensive players to dictate where the help defense comes from, and that it comes off of the Mavs players THEY want freed up. That, imo, would be a grave error on the part of Minnesota.

You’re absolutely right that it’ll lead to more Kyrie ISO’s. But it keeps ANT out of ball screens and gives them a chance to hide him on DJJ. They can’t keep ANT on Kyrie and their options are limited, with running out two 7 footers.
