I have a feeling this ain’t gonna be pretty… but I sure do hope this negativity gets rubbed in my face later!

I predict that OP pic is our starting 5.

Given how Bertans was only used when Gobert was off the floor it tells me that Kidd doesn't want to put him in any situation where he has to box out Gobert.

Don't know why it matters since nobody else was boxing out Gobert last game. But, IF, DB can hit enough shots to make Rudy play honest, then there might be enough offensive boost to offset the defensive issues.

But also for whatever reason Bertans never seems to be a priority within the offense while he's out there. I would blame JB and Dinwiddie for their lack of playmaking, but I saw the same with Luka during the regular season. Now that's a simple fix of just drawing up a simple play like a staggered screen or even an elevator screen to get Bertans open. The question is do we want to make Bertans a focus of the offense?

Would love something like this ran for Bertans. He has a quick enough release to make it work.

Gobert was constantly able to play the lane all game due to being able to guard 1 of Green or Powell. Put three 3 point shooters in and maybe you open up the lane more, or have an open 3 point shooter to pass to.

Here's Davis' shooting stats since he came into the league 2016-17 Left corner 3: 56.3% (0.3 FGA) Right corner 3: 40.0% (0.4 FGA) Above the break 3: 38.2% (2.2 FGA) 2017-18: Left corner 3: 41.7% (0.2 FGA)
Right corner 3: 54.2% (0.4 FGA)
Above the break 3: 35.3% (3.0 FGA)
2018-19: Left corner 3: 47.8% (0.3 FGA) Right corner 3: 68.0% (0.4 FGA) Above the break 3: 40.8% (3.8 FGA) 2019-20: Left corner 3: 47.4% (0.4 FGA) Right corner 3: 63.2% (0.4 FGA) Above the break 3: 41.3% (8.0 FGA) 2020-21: Left corner 3: 45.7% (0.6 FGA) Right corner 3: 40.0% (0.5 FGA) Above the break 3: 39.2% (6.3 FGA) 2021-22: Left corner 3: 40.0% (0.6 FGA) Right corner 3: 59.1% (0.5 FGA) Above the break 3: 29.4% (3.2 FGA) So outside of this year, he's been a LETHAL 3pt shooter everywhere. He's also much better for his career shooting with no dribbles versus taking 1 or 2.

I'm not sure what the bigger differential will be this game, rebounding or the score. I bet both are north of 15.

I wonder if Utah will pull their heads out of their asses this time or if they will putz around again and give us another chance kind of like they did last time or how Milwaukee did against Chicago. I'm hoping they keep their heads safely insulated in that brown space so a Luka return really brings hope.
04-18-2022, 06:10 PM
Going down by 2 games at home would be a really tough pill to swallow, even if Luka did come back 100% for Game 3. Must win game

They need to get this split, before you can even think about bringing him back for game 3. Who's going to be the hero?
04-18-2022, 06:44 PM
Remember when we went up 2-0 on the home court against a fully healthy Clippers?
Yeah. A series can turn very quick. As long as Luka comes back within a reasonable time and is healthy the Mavs shouldn't be counted out until the clock hits 0.00 in the final game of the series.
