Last night I thought all his first half minutes were with Powell or WCS but I'll go back and see if I missed something. He definitely was out on the perimeter a ton it felt like.
Just went back and read Dan's post and looks like I wasn't paying close enough attention.

I definitely remember this from the 2011 title team, Tyson Chandler anchored that defense and he did it by calling out all the plays. They are finally doing that as a team with KP a big part of it.
Hopefully Tyson is working with KP on how to be vocal and we see him get better at calling out the plays as the season progresses...
Josh Green is a top 5 Mavs player...

FN checked in for the first time at the beginning of the 4th. So garbage time. He brought the ball up the court some, looking competent to do so. But barely. His offense looked good to me. His miss from deep wasn’t close, but I believe the make was a swish. He moved the ball well and seemed to know his role.
On defense, he looked very capable. And aggressive. As did the whole team really. But you can see Frankie’s athleticism and length bothering the opposition.
My take is that he was miscast as a PG. He looks like a 3&D guy to me, with the ability to harass even waterbug PGs. If his 3 ball keeps going in, it will be hard to keep him on the bench.

Coming into the draft I think his floor as a usable NBA player was as a 3nD guy....his potential was as an NBA PG....but it is very unlikely he reaches that ceiling. I think 3nD is easily within reach. He is only 23.

Huge fan of the things Brown is doing on the floor.

I watched the game but didn't realize the play they ran at 1 minute 16 second clip is the same as the play they ran in the 1 minute 40 second clip. Luka just made a different pass. The first play got Hardaway an open three and the second got KP a dunk.
I love that off the ball movement.

I'm trying to recall if I've ever seen a basketball game where the margin of victory was higher than the number of points scored by the losing team. Don't think I have until last night.

It's posted in one of these threads, maybe this one. You can play it over and over and over again.

Oh cool. Play both of them at the same time, like 7 seconds apart.

Bridges won't forget that. He's one of the best dunkers in the game. He's gonna look for payback for real.

He needs to find the basket first.

Little late here sorry but sometimes malicious websites will have pop-ups that when you click on the "x" to close will download something onto your computer. I've seen it happen before; enough times to make sure I always have a pop-up/element blocker so I don't have to click on something I deem suspicious.

What if DP is now a 3pt shooter?
If he DP and KP can both roll and hit 3s....

Here's a nice video explanation of the play you're talking about.

If Diamond can even hit 34% on 3spg, he's suddenly a bargain. There are guys with that mix of skills making $20M per.
