All in all, a nice win. Very sloppy and a slog at times, but the Mavs wore down a team on the second half of a back to back.
I thought KP looked good again. The missed layup was bad, but we can live with that type of play. Powell for all the hate (at times warranted) shows he can still make plays as a role player. Hardaway was fantastic (even if he banked in a three). Luka was a little uneven from peak Luka imo. Brunson was off today, but I think he is one of our 5 best players, so I am glad he is getting good minutes. Team played hard today after a lackluster start.
As I watch this team, I keep on thinking how much better this team would be with one more good player. A fringe all star/all star type. I have been saying that for a few years, but with a healthy KP it is really apparent.
Barnes is going to be good...real good. Really like what I have seen in two game from him. In the draft two years ago my two favorites at pick 18 was Maxey and Precious. Both had up and down rookie season with flashes. I think Precious would fit really nice with KP.
