Thanks for the Game Thread
I guess this guy needs to start being more consistent
Here’s some stuff to think about before and during the game.
Which Josh Richardson will show up?
The Mavericks have not won a single game this season when Richardson scores less than 10 points. Our man is just 5-of-25 from the floor the past two games, at times looking like a ship without a sail that’s caught in a hurricane. Offensively, he’s just forgotten how to play basketball. He’s had sloppy ball handling with his high, loose dribble, all while taking shots which look even uglier than his normal form.
Defensively, Dallas always needs his effort, though I’ll never understand how Carlisle thinks his best use is on the other team’s third or fourth best player. But with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Lu Dort out, there isn’t anyone in particular I’m concerned with the Mavericks needing to stop.
