we had backcuts for layups, we had wide open threes off complex multi-person screens
a lot of missed open shots in the first half but it was still a thing of beauty

Pretty cool, huh!

Make sure to watch the video Killer posted. You and Jason saw the same stuff.

Here is another one that Iztok references. When you have elite shooting and elite rim running, quick actions are more than likely to confuse defenses.

That was a fun watch! He became my fave Mav reactor last season. It's encouraging to see him so excited about the Mavs.

I know Timpf touched on this in his video  where he qualified his love of the Klay move given if the Mavs actually used him correctly but I don’t remember that at all.

I remember he was very vocal about not liking this move given that the mavs had “zero motion.” Feels like he is completely switching up after seeing the proof of concept.

I gotta find the tweet cause I remember very vividly him not liking it.


Still good video from him breaking down the new dimension to the offense.

Oh, I do. I remember it pretty well. He did a whole hour on the difference between adding Thompson as a "corner shooter only" in a spread pick and roll offense vs. adding him for the purpose of integrating more movement and using 5-out dribble handoff concepts with Lively as a hub near the break (which they seem to be trying to do pretty aggressively, btw). 

His initial video (when he was hoping Thompson would be a Laker still - that's his team) was as you describe, but there were a few follow ups where he had thought about it more, and those were very much focused on the "if/then" aspects of what the Thompson addition might mean.

He initially didn't like the move, but he specifically stated in a video during the off season that the Mavs signing Naji Marshall had him hedging on his opinion, because he considered Marshall signing a potential indication that the Mavs were in fact going to alter their offense more significantly than anticipated given his ball handling skills.

I miss Lowe. It is going to suck if he doesn't podcast this year. I need to find a new NBA podcast.

Iztok’s substack is an interesting blend of commentary and video analysis. Short but smart. Thanks for leading me there. https://digginbasketball.substack.com/p/...me-1-spurs

Iztok Franko was talking to the guys on the Dumbzone, on YouTube. He's one of Jake Kemp's buddies.

Mine as well, because he‘s a Lakers fan at heart and therefore very honest and neutral in his analysis. Great that he loved the second half so much - he went as far as saying that was the most exciting half of the Luka era.

Big Grin Bad wording from my side. What I was trying to say: he‘s not a Mavs fan like a lot of the other podcasters that go deep in their Mavs analysis, who then naturally have their Mavs glasses on and see things more positive - or negative - than they actually are, like all of us fans do. So if he says something positive about us it‘s completely objective, and that what I enjoy when listening to him. Even if he is a Lakers fan…

You mean he's kind of like your favorite resident Utah Mavericks fan? Heart
