GAME 59: DAL (35-24) vs. NOP (23-36): 125-118 WIN!

Collective ball watching under the rim. That´s not about Valanciunas size advantage. Powell is not even trying to box him out. Same for Luka vs Hayes and DFS vs Jones.

---

Powell surviving on vet reputation alone. A rookie would be in the dog house for the rest of the game.

Was the same trend early in Miami too.

Hopefully Luka plays JV off the floor.

---

Brunson becoming a lethal 3pt shooter makes him worth at least 30mil. 


Dinwiddie with a fantastic pass and helps draw JV's 2nd foul.

Nice side pnr there from Dinwiddie and powell

[SleepingHero]

Dinwiddie definitely needs more practice with the zone.

[dirkfansince1998]

Lazy defense all around. Just like in the first half against Miami. Cannot expect them to play all out all the time but it´s not a good look when the energy/glue guys are the main culprits.

First, love the play where Dinwiddie seemingly finds a pass to Maxi out of nowhere off a PnR, who then finds Luka wide open spotting up that just didn't fall.

Luka then hits a 3 thats a billion times harder.

Then Luka with lock down D on Ingram.

It didn’t result in a bucket, but I also enjoyed the possession where Luka gave it up to Dinwiddie early and let him work on the left side of the court.

Pelican's offense legit died as soon as Valanciunas went to the bench.

LUKA MY GOODNESS.

---

THIS TEAM IS SIZZLIN

---

DFS GETTING IN ON IT

[KillerLeft]

I like that both of the new guys seem willing and able to move the ball quickly and sharply.

[SleepingHero]

THEN A KELEBER OOP! MY HYPE IS REACHIN CRITICAL MASS.

---

Really liking what Dinwiddie is doing. It doesn't seem like a lot but he's making super timely passes to the right places and is locked in on D

[KillerLeft]

The offense is soooo much better than it was just a few weeks ago.

[SleepingHero]

THAT IS LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKA MAGIC!

[dirkfansince1998]

Hottest shooting quarter since...I cannot remember.

Hottest shooting quarter since...I cannot remember.

And not one pointless back down in the paint with a hand raised to stop it and bum me out.

YES. THIS.

Also, I love DB's movement on the offensive end. Quick and decisive. He just strikes me as really smart with a high BBIQ.

It's only going to get better (at least in consistency) IMO.

BERTANS 3 ,MAXI DENIAL

[KillerLeft]

Bertans off of a pin down, just like they used to do with THJ.

MAXI THE DUNKING DEUTCHMAN

Maxi wants a new contract.
