-Nice to get the W with DFS, Bull, and Brown going 3 of 15 from 3.
-Ntlikina is good. Man did the Knicks misuse by trying to make him an on-ball player. He is so much better off the ball and as a catch-and-shoot guy or off the bounce when the defense is rotating. He probably can't sustain his early shooting numbers, but he's still one of the most consistent, high-energy, slippery defenders I've ever seen. He reminds me of Matisse Thybulle. He should get even more burn moving forward.
-If Brown isn't hitting threes we might as well try Green.
-The game started much better. Of course it's easy to look good when you're hitting shots, but the Mavs also defended a lot better (fighting through screens especially) and moved the ball a lot better on offense. All in all you can't complain about the effort today.
