Game 65: Dallas Mavericks (36-28) vs. Chicago Bulls (31-33)

[Jason Terry]

Yes it was a bad team but lots of good vibes from this game

We only shot 31% from 3 but it never felt like we struggled on offense

It’s a game changer when we can get the bigs going. Not every team will be so terrible against the PnR. Good to get some practice but we need to force this against the teams we can to make it easy. There’s several playoff teams that will have no answer for the Lively/Gafford/Maxi combo

The rotations are amazing now…..

Starters:
Luka
Kyrie
DJJ
PJ
Gafford

Let these guys come out and set the tone. Then turn to the bench for energy

First subs:
Exum for Kyrie
Lively for Gafford

Next subs:
Green for DJJ
Maxi for PJ

That should be the blueprint to every 1st quarter. From that point we can pivot based on game flow. Luka goes to the bench and those 2nd quarter starts can be bad. Perfect time for Hardaway to come in and we can see what kind of night it will be

Hardy is continuing to show improvement. Lawson plays with energy
