Our offense is poetic period. This passing is a joy to watch. Unselfishness. BIZ is fitting in seamlessly too.
I’m watching. This is the first game I’ve watched in a long time, mostly because it’s dirk’s Jersey retirement. Luka hasn’t played a lot this season because of a moderate knee injury and covid. I think he is an amazing player but he does go through ups and downs. For me the selfish part is his arguing with the refs during the active play of the game. I think at times he takes bad shots, but that’s the nba. As far as his defense and the mavs as a whole…I think they are playing a lot harder on defense than I’ve seen, at least for tonight’s game. I’m sure they have a long way to go. Defense is something that Kidd is emphasizing.
Dallas played hard tonight, especially on defense. Probably had a little extra in the tank because it was GS and dirks big night. They rebounded the ball very well and played physical. But GS missed a lot of shots that they are capable of making. Curry did not look like himself.
This happened last year too, almost exactly the same way.
I thought the call was way out of line too unless there's some kind of specific or implied restrictions on how you can send the ball to an official (by handoff, bounce pass etc.) or if there was context that we're unaware of (anger, swear words, or a little too much steam on the pass). But I watched it multiple times and I didn't get the feeling it was an outburst on Lowry's part. And I rarely find reason to defend Kyle Lowry.
It's not really surprising he is shooting below 50%.
