GDT: game 56 - Suns (33-22) at Mavs (32-23) 6:30
Remember, if we lose this game, we are pretenders and Luka isn't an MVP candidate. If we win, it's a fluke and Luka is still not an MVP candidate.
A win tonight would get us at least temporarily out of the play-in.
Both teams are 7-3 coming in, although Mavs went 1-3 and then 6-0. Suns 5-1 and 2-3
Only Exum out for the Mavs. Only Lee out for the Suns AFAIK.

Great! PJ can guard Durant and Josh can match up against Booker. Lively and Gafford and can control the boards. Luka and Kyrie score in bunches. Mavs win!

Suns gonna go small so
1) Kidd doesn?t usually impose his will and answer small with big which means we probably won?t see Gafford or Lively much if KD is center
2) PJ gonna get called up to defend KD in what could be a preview of the 4-5 playoff matchup

Defense is struggling. Offense isn?t getting the right guys involved

This is just my opinion, but I feel Gafford should be starting with Lively coming off the bench.

God hardaway is so unneeded now that we have a bigger defensive team.

The refs haven?t been fair but THJ commits some of the dumbest fouls imaginable

THJ is a weak link. Hardy can get those minutes. At least Hardy plays within the game and attacks the bucket.
This free throw disparity is ridiculous.

THJ cannot control the ball. He can only execute things: get a ball and shoot it. He can't think when it comes to passing.

Less THJ and the Mavs will win tonight.

KD soft. Has no grit. Got ref protection AND STILL GOT CLEAN-BLOCKED. Embarrassing.

Bad start + refs bias + still in the game = Mavs doing well. Looks like they've definitely improved with Gafford and PJ. There's more better players for Kid to throw in there.

Does anyone know why was the play-in rule introduced?
What reason did they give?

Booker needs to be worried. Daddy Luka just pulled out the belt.

That's a good start. Great for PJ. Can shoot AND LOOKS LIKE CAN PASS and can play ball down low.

Booker plays like a dork. Like a basketball dork.
Has a bunch of memorized, drilled moves.

That was my one worry with him being in this offense. Spot up 3 point shooter.
