  1. It put Mavs into bonus with six minutes to go and they were lucky that Dallas didn’t take further advantage of that. It also completely took away the ability OKC has to create turnovers and score/get to line in transition which is a huge weapon. I would be pretty surprised if we see it again.
  2. I can’t think of the last time a #1 seed was so desperate in a game 3 to resort to the hacking strategy. This feels like a newer coach getting desperate.
  3. Interesting strategy to willingly get torched by PJ to cheat off on Kyrie who is happy to make the wide open pass all night.
  4. I know what the numbers say and I think he’s a good defender. I just don’t think if you took him off that team he would have the same impact like you would see with Holiday. OKC has a unique defensive scheme that emphasizes his combo of size and aggressiveness.
  5. I watched a good bit of OKC this year and I still don’t get all the Dort hype. He benefits so much from that system of random blitzing and double teams with Chet playing safety.
  6. Would be nice to see an effort made to get Kyrie into a rhythm out of timeout. (Does Kidd know that plays out of timeouts work for other teams?) Not sure how sustainable role players going nuts is at this pace of play.
  7. Playing PJ with a third guard who isn’t afraid to fire from three has been huge. Gotta imagine we’ll see more of that when Timmy is on floor vs just using him as a Kyrie sub.
  8. I am not sure how anyone in NBA offices can justify Tony Brothers getting Mavs games of any importance after the Dinwiddie BS. That being said, won’t matter who is calling games if Luka isn’t in good enough health to even pretend to play D.
  9. Vintage Kyrie in the fourth and a few stops and this could get fun.
  10. Zero shot in this series if breathing in the paint is a foul.
  11. If Harden isn’t hitting that floater this is going to be a long night for Clippers. Solid perimeter defense outside of PJ not rotating on PG once.
  12. I think that dream may be dead. He's currently on his final visit at UNC right now.
  13. It would be nice to get the three days rest by closing out things at home Friday night. Don't really like the idea of pretty much heading straight to OKC from LA after finishing up a 7 game series.
  14. We're moving really well Yep. Cool to see Kyrie set the tone defensively when it hasn’t been a huge scoring night for him.
  15. Can’t afford to get blown out of water during these scoring by committee mins. That timeout was the biggest adjustment by Kidd all series..
  16. People can be lukewarm on JJ, but he is spot on here. JJ on adjustments.
