Game 60: Dallas Mavericks (34-25) vs Boston Celtics (46-12)

[sefant]

Green is a good hustle guy, but his defense has been overrated for a while now.
Gets out of position very easily and cant nagivate screens well.

but today the team needed his offense and it was not there.

on a positive side huge game by Lively. team was really rolling when he was on the floor.
too bad he wasnt in there long enough, because, small ball. In a line up with Tillman and Horford, one of Lively and Gafford has to be in the game.

Pj washington played well and defended Tatum reasonably, he just made a lot of contested shots.
already have good chemistry with Luka. astronomically better defender than grant williams.

When Green subbed out for THJ, it was a 3 pt game. When he subbed back in for THJ it was a 18 pt game

If Luka has a weakness, its 3 pt defense, and inability to rotate or just down right laziness in closing out. Pairing Luka with THJ who is even worse at that, its a recipe for disaster. Against good (shooting) teams its even worse. You need Green/Exum (not THJ) to cover for Luka's ass.  If you play THJ its always BBQ chicken.
