Aargh. I'm having trouble coming up with an upbeat angle for this one. The Mavericks surrendered a 13-point lead in the third quarter to end the game with a 10-point deficit in San Antonio. Such a bummer.
One has to acknowledge the numerous injuries in assigning reasons for this disappointing loss. The team especially misses Seth, who is a more important player than some would think.
As always, great stuff. I'd argue this team hasn't been the same since Brunson went down. Curry was absolutely on fire, but for the season the team is a -4 when he's in the game versus a +2.9 for Brunson. That's actually kind of amazing when you consider most of those minutes happen while Luka is sitting.
JB isn't as flashy on O, but the team plays much better D when he's on the floor compared to when Curry is on the floor. It is a 5.5 pp100 difference on D, but only a 1 pp100 difference on O.
