I hope so. With Duarte getting the start, we should see Jones get some run with the 2nd unit. I really like the way that kids plays.

Also – DFox not backing down from Kyrie. Dude is playing on another level.

Luka shoves with his off arm in the post 3 times in a row against Duarte, and the foul is on Duarte…

That shove off plus whining to the refs is most of Luka’s offensive game

Fun, fun game to watch Brown, I was worried when you noted there was not a small amount of time where it was foul, foul, foul….

Great game by Fox and Sabonis. Our 2 just flat outplayed the Mavs 2.

Dallas seem like pretenders to me. Porous defense, no depth, and they don’t have any creativity or nuance to their offensive system. Just give the ball to Luka and Kyrie and hope they can create out of ISO.

Even if this wasn’t a back to back for the Mavs the King’s matchup great against this team. Sabonis with light work. Doncic needs to put up more shots and cry more to the refs. Kyrie needs to put up 40.

Kidd should give the offense over to Kyrie and have Luka play off the ball. But, that is not going to happen.

Sabonis only misses two shots, 30 points, 13 rebounds I believe, a monster in this game. Relentless. 58 points in the paint. Ran the Mavs into a figurative shallow grave. The give and go game was excellent.

14 offensive rebounds for 22 second chance points.

Perhaps the best game of the year so far.
