Good scouting by Looney. I can't remember the exact stat but Brunson shoots basically no 3s off the dribble.

For GS to beat Boston they have to have Looney playing a lot of minutes (25-30) and be productive. Robert Williams and Horford will murder them on the boards otherwise.

Nice to see some heart from Dallas, Luka and Dimwiddie aren't going down quietly.

Not because I actually think they are the better team but given the price I don't feel the sharps will. General public I think is the only reason the price is what it is. Maybe thats a duh?

Remember when Draymond took his 2nd foul just to stop a potential 3 on 2 break? Yeah, I do, and that was dumb. It was the 2nd quarter dude.

Of course, but they are so thin up front he has to be able to go battle with them enough where they don't completely crush them down low. Porter too has been valuable down low and banging with bigs.

edit: Looney!

Think we’ve answered the question of “What’s your ceiling when your second best player is Jalen Brunson”

That's funny because the biggest assclowns were the Raiders fans when they were in Oakland.

Shaq laughing was gold, though.

I think he was rooting for the Mavs or thought they were going to win. IIRC he was wearing a Mavs jersey in game 1 or 2.

Why does this seem clear to you? Luka's supporting cast this year was bad, but Jokic's was awful. Both guys seem like fine teammates, but I have to believe that it is intrinsically easier to recruit players to play alongside Jokic than it is to play alongside Luka.

Luka is just a better version of Harden, without the baggage. If your skill set is limited to hanging out on the perimeter and shooting 3s, then I guess you might prefer to play with Luka. But if you want a more active role in the offense, Jokic seems like the better choice.

The Mavs style with Luka may be able to accommodate one teammate who does something other than sit on the perimeter. That player was Brunson in the playoffs. But can it accommodate more than one? Not obvious to me.

Agree with the above.

Worst part of the playoffs is people jumping on the heat of the moment to make strong claims about everything based on the most recent events. KD is no longer a top 5 player, Curry is now a top-10 player of all time, Jokic sucks, the Suns are frauds, etc..

Nobody was coming with those takes before the playoffs started
