DFS +15 (he does so many little things people can't/won't see - I love him so much)
THJ +9 (that will happen when you shoot over 60% from 3)
Kleber +8 (thought he fought really hard in the 2nd half on D)
Bruson +7 (I'm a fan of his, but I can't explain this one - didn't think this was a great game from him at all)
KP looks like he's playing harder, which is great, don't get me wrong. But these proclamations that he's helping are confusing me. He was -3, and I'm shocked it's not worse. He is constantly disrupting the offensive flow out there, and for every good defensive play he makes (to be fair, there have been several through two games) he gets absolutely torched on another possession. He's still playing exclusively in drop coverage, which probably isn't his fault (unless he's so limited that it's the only option), and until the Mavs start giving up hella 3's it's probably the way to go. Both major runs came with him on the bench tonight, including the one in the 4th that put the game away. I wish I could give the Dirkie to Coach Kidd for having the balls to leave him on the bench.
Went with Hardaway.
