Luka does seem to be getting his.
It's THJ/Exum/DJJ/PJ that aren't hitting consistently right now.

How in the world is GS getting the Paul/Gafford matchup so easily?

Gafford been getting out worked by Moody and Podzmieski is something I wouldn't have expected.
Really bad minutes by him.

Gaff not effective. Getting cooked on D.

Mavs go by up 2 to down 6 as soon as this small ball running lineup comes in and Gafford gets outworked.
THJ/Hardy look like they don't know how to get a reliable shot and Kyrie is getting doubled.
Need 12 minutes of Luka/Kyrie/Exum/PJ/Maxi

Kidd shouldn't have sat Luka at the end of the 3rd. Poor finish. Offense was horrible. Defense as well.

This s a game for the Kleber/Washington lineup, I think. It’s what GS wants, but I think it’s also the Mavs’ best option. Too much running back and forth from paint to perimeter against the Warriors for Gafford. I think he’s just gassed.

Bad lineup and bad end to that quarter. I just don’t see much of a Mav’s future for Hardy. The Mavs bench has been more than annihilated tonight

The problem is that Green’s absence makes it harder for that Kleber at the 5 lineup to be sustainable. Exum will have to play a lot.

Missing lively and Green. DJJ and Gaff nearly unplayable.

Washington just drew a double and hit a 3 on the same possession.

Mavs are playing for the whistle instead of wanting contact.
Can they just explode into the Warriors and make a play instead of expecting a whistle?

Love Kleber playing the 5.
Don’t love them dropping him into the short roll game like Gafford and Lively. To the corner, please.

Didn’t Chris Paul commit two backcourt violations?
