Game 60: Dallas Mavericks (34-25) vs Boston Celtics (46-12)

[Jason Terry]

We aren’t too far away. Lively really dominated parts of the first half. 3rd quarter we make a comeback to pull within 3. This was all the starters doing this. Despite Green not showing up on either end. Despite the poor shooting Kyrie game. This was the same run that PJ hit a couple 3’s in the flow of the offense. We should feel good about what happened to that point

Defensively we need Lively to be able to switch and guard out to the perimeter and run people off the line like Bam does. This is the key to everything. Kidd seems to think he can’t do this and that’s a problem. Gafford doesn’t have the physical ability to do this and it’s why he won’t play much in the playoffs. The rest of the team must make their rotations: Green cannot get bullied by every player setting a screen, Luka must stay engaged all game long and THJ is obviously causing problems

Offensively we don’t have any flow. We need to solve for this. Too many 3’s with 18 seconds on the shot clock. All these good teams we lose to pass the ball around in a way we do not. Luka and Tim. Overall our team 3pt% should be higher with better flow

PJ looks the part. He does everything we could hope for. Super excited to watch him grow into his role
