BARKING GAFFORD! INTANGIBLES!
Watch Luka and Kyrie lock in, because Gafford is barking at them like crazy.
That´s what Luka needed so badly.
Gafford finishes the possession with a rejection and off we go!

Rarely do I say that, but

Jason Kidd is much, much worse than people think.
There's literally ZERO offense not created by Luka.
Rick was running lob plays for Beaubois, creating career numbers for Brandon Wright, Harris/Barea early offense.
There is NOTHING like that right now

Big controversy about yesterday´s game:
Why was Maxi Kleber out there in crunch time?
Short answer: because he f**ing earned it
Long answer: See this thread 👇👇👇

PJ Washington first locking up Sabonis and then Fox.
How many players in the league can do this? Anunoby, healthy Kawhi?
And people told us a distant 1st is too much to give up LOL

Aaron Gordon is allowed to travel all over the floor it seems like.

Luka often gets accused of taking too many shots.
I think yesterday was the exact opposite: he must be much, much more aggressive and assertive looking for floaters and shots at the rim.
Here is a plethora of plays where he shies away from finishing.

I´m convinced some NBA refs are just guessing, when they decide on travel violations.
This isn´t remotely close to a travel. Why does he even come to this call? Just god awful officiating.

So I couldn't resist. This is completely insane:
4 man group: Luka - Kyrie - Exum - Lively
Has played for 31 (!!!) min together.
Off rat. 145.5 Def. Rat 97.0
You can calculate the net rating yourself.
I'm between sad and stunned after looking this up
#mffl
Resting probably the correct call here. But man it's so frustrating to be a
#mffl
right now.
At some point we need some reps of Luka, Lively, Kyrie, Exum and whoever.
Feels like this 4 man lineup hasn't even played 150 min together.
By far our 4 best and they never play.

I still insist that PJ Washington should be doing more penetration, back cuts and post ups.
He´s so good at it and often times is guarded by weak defenders.

Next play: WATCH Kidd - he tells DJJ to cut through early to clear the side for Kyrie (knows double is coming again)
Also tells Maxi, but he doesn´t hear it. Kyrie hits the three and Kidd tells Maxi again.
We all know what happens in the next play right? (see below)

I mean I've been saying it since November:
N-E-V-E-R play THJ alongside Luka and Kyrie.
It's so simple, we easily have the personal to avoid it - even more so after the trade.
Why in the world would Kidd keep doing it?
Just so unbelieveably stupid
#mffl
#savemavsD
Rules for
#mavs
rotation:
Only two of Kyrie, Luka, THJ, Seth and Hardy at the same time.
Powell only together with Grant and DJJ.
Probably only possible with Omax getting minutes or a trade.
Start Exum or Green, put DJJ next to Powell.

The issues Josh Green has with screens can be seen here. Look how far he moves around the screen setter, even though there is no need to do that.
That´s just footwork and he´ll certainly learn that.
Also see screenshot in tweet below.
#mffl
DJJ is the best Mavs point of attack / on ball defender. And that's a challenge when they start PJ over him.
Maybe when Exum comes back they start him over Green and he gets that responsibility. The good news is that there are different options & combos now...

Most Luka thing ever:
In 2018 the Euroleague made a documentary about Luka and in the process visited his grand parents and a childhood friend while he played the Clasico against Barca.
And of course in this game he hit the insane fullcourt shot we surely all know

We need an explanation for Exum and DJJ playing less than 20 minutes and less than THJ.
With Lively out, you need every little bit of size and athleticism on the floor. Frustrating

Gotta tip my hat to Kidd and the staff
What a beauty of an ATO play: Lively brings up the ball, Mavs run a handoff where Monk must decide, if he wants to tag Lively or give up an open 3
Favourite bit: watch Alex Jensen applauding the whole staff after DJJ hit the shot!!

It's a smart way to use non-shooters like Anderson or Gobert as screeners to punish Mavs shrink.

I´d love to know why Sweeney celebrates this Kyrie bucket so hard.
Must be something they´ve been working on with Gafford.
This is a playoff type play: If they execute this well, they can create a makeable pullup for Kyrie whenever they want.

Adjustments by Jason Kidd in G5:
He was criticized mightily by many throughout the season and after G4 (including me), but he came up with some nice stuff in this one:
#1
- Go after Harden more (especially off ball)

This is THE totally unexpected realization I've come to aswell.
Luka and Kyrie are so ridiculously good on offense that your role players don't even need to hit 3s, as long as they contribute off. rebounds and inside finishing.
Goes against all common media narratives
#mffl
The Mavs starting 5 is a plus 28.1 BTW.
We don't need THAT much 3 point shooting with Luka and Kyrie like yall think we do.

1st Q shots by Kyrie and Luka.
No movement by anyone (besides one step up screen by Josh).
Tough, tough shots. The idea of having two superstar scorers like them should be them making each other´s life easier or creating easy shots for others.
None of this is happening

PJ Washington versatility on defense is so special to watch in Dallas.
Defend Sabonis, Fox, Murray...
Chases Murray off screens, switch on Sabonis, uses his strength to take him several feet way from the basket...forces shot clock violation.

Kyrie fouled intentionally with 45 sec left yesterday to get Omax into the game.
Now I know, what's behind that
👇
NBA star Kyrie Irving has taken Montreal’s Olivier-Maxence Prosper under his wing during his rookie year.
From taking his family out to lunch, to sitting next to him on team flights, they’ve built a bond.
“He’s going to be a special player one day.”

Clippers are completely f**ked, if Kawhi is their big man in small lineups.
Noone has explained to me what the Clippers will do, when Zubac is played off the floor and the Mavs have Maxi and PJ in the frontcourt.
There´s no way, they can match up with that Mavs lineup.
#mffl
Clippers will play small lineups during the series
Even if Kawhi isn’t 100%, he will be the best rim protector in those lineups
Often times, Luka likes to go after the best rim protector on the floor…
to keep that rim protection away from helping, where they are more

@BiasedSlightly
Difference is: FIBA refs are trained to watch nothing but the defender. If he doesn’t move into the offensive player or makes any contact with him, it never is a foul.
Easy concept and it works wonderfully

Before the deadline I strongly advocated for doing more switching with Lively.

The Mavs swapped their 2028 first-round pick with the Thunder’s 2028 first to acquire OKC’s 2024 first. The Mavs are expected to use the OKC pick in the Daniel Gafford deal with the Wizards.
