I know the Nets were short two studs tonight, but just a real nice job by the Mavs taking care of business.
I have no idea why we don't utilize KP like that every game. It may not always be pretty with KP in the post. But I like it for a lot of reasons. For one, it finally gives us an interior presence. Especially if teams are going to put a smaller player on him. Second, every good player likes to get touches. I want KP to get much more touches. I can understand the frustration when you don't touch the ball 4-5 possessions in a row. For me, my magic number is 12-14 points for KP on easy baskets/free throws. I think if he does that the rest of his game will fall in place.
WCS also with some nice minutes as the backup five. It is nice getting good center play. This team is much different when KP is getting good looks rather than shooting mostly threes.
