I'm not going to fool around here. I've always said you need at least 4 players in double figures to win a game. The Mavs had 5 in double figures. Contrast that with NO who had...7. Hmmm...go figure. This, in part, indicates to me the game was closer than it appeared. The Mavs took more shots, made more 3's, scored more on free throws, had much fewer turnovers--for most of the game. And, of course, they won. I'm sure everyone has heard that old saying, "....live by the three, die by the three."
I want, absolutely want, to give my Dirkie to Dwight Powell. Without his timely play, 10 rebounds, great efficiency, and a little bit of scoring--I don't think the Mavs would have won.
But...we wouldn't have won without Luka--either.
Or Kyrie. I'm giving my Dirkie to Kyrie...even though I really want to give it to DP.
Both, or all three, will have future opportunities.
