Well...that was a pretty good game. Entertaining...and the best thing is--we won! Actually we won in great fashion. Different sport but I always thought it was best, when you have somebody down, to put your foot on their throat, destroy them. That way, when you play them again it will be in the back of their mind that they have no chance. Anyway...on to my Dirkie choice.
DFS, Bullock, and even Powell played good...and I'm not talking about just offense. Well...maybe a little because off the ball on offense--is still on offense. And this is where stats only show a very small part of the actual performance of any specific player.
Maxi is a perfect example of stats showing a bad game...when the opposite is true. He played great off the ball on offense and on defense. Maxi and Powell, and others, are playing against the monster Gobert (who I have determined to be an arrogant, fairly dirty player). Royce Oneal is even dirtier, and gets away with it. But I digress.
The game plan was good. The team is clicking on *almost* all cylinders. The refs were--fairly bad--most of the game. Effort from both teams was good at the start, but the Mavs slowly started to thrash the Jazz and never let up--which is what they are suppose to do.
I would like to give the Dirkie to the defense, but I can't and won't.
Brunson storming back after sort of a down game was very important. He showed the Jazz that they can't keep him down...he can do anything he wants...any time he wants.
Stick with me here. I'm just going through the "Dirkie" thought process.
Luka did--Luka stuff. This is also important after sort of a stinker game--for Luka. During the third quarter Luka, along with Brunson, scored a knock down and started kicking the Jazz while they were down--which is great!
Oh hell...I give my Dirkie to Luka.
