Game Observations
1) Luka is overweight and looks a step slow. Not as bad as the first part of last year, but not in good enough shape. I am becoming seriously concerned about his long term weight. He is the tide that lifts all boats. Without elite Luka (and he MUST be in shape for that) this team will only be average.
2) KP looks MUCH better defensively. He still doesn't have "it" offensively, but I am hoping he can figure it out.
3) DFS needs less minutes. I would like to see Bullock get more of his.
4) The Mavs missed a lot of good looks.
5) I thought the Mavs looked much better than last year defensively in the first half, but just lost heart when they couldn't get buckets in the second half.
6) ATL is damn good and their continuity is really paying off.
7) ATL's defensive closeouts and rotations were incredible AND they have good length and athleticism.
8) I think the NBA will be better by not calling fouls on the non-basketball moves. But I think the refs swallowed their whistles too much at times.
