The coach decides whether to play it straight up or to have someone double off of someone (Murray wouldn't have been the logical place to double from). The best passing big in the league has the ball 10 feet from the basket on a small guy and he is surrounded by marksmen. That was a low success rate scenario for Dallas no matter what. The issue came in our inability to score the final two minutes, not in defending the play Denver called.Agree. I actually thought Powell looked pretty decent on defense, considering everything.
