Mavs at Kings very late GDT

SD seems to be the exact aggressive combo guard we were looking for. I was so wrong about him.

out of his 11 FG's made
Seven! 7 were straight up just layups. Only one was out of a post up where he made a nice drop step. The rest was driving to the hoop.

that doesn't even include the drives that ended in FT's where he made 12-13.

2 were floaters inside the paint

2 were 3pointers.

On another note, Bertans actually had some decent defensive plays including a nice block. I was more impressed by him aggressively attacking a close out and driving to the rim (he missed the layup), grabbing a rebound and leading the break with a nice pass to Green for the dunk, and a nice pass on a kickout to Green for a 3ptr.

How many times in years past have we screamed at players like THJ in the same situations jack up a 3 even if a lane was wide open for a layup?

The injury to THJ created a domino effect because it forced the Mavs to give more minutes to Green, allowed Bullock to play a more comfortable role and then led to the trade of Dinwiddie because they wanted to replace THJ's offense.

IMO all 3 of those players contribute so much more than THJ which is why his resigning was a big mistake. BTW if memory serves me right, they could have taken a chance on Dinwiddie last summer for less money than THJ is getting.
