Lively and Exum looked a bit off last night. Hardaway too. He is certainly not happy with his role, but that is a different story.
Exum had trouble staying in front of Sexton in the first half and Lively just looked a step slow. It certainly helps to have options now if a player has an off night. Lively has had some games where he is the better center, so they are a good mix currently. Now it was against a tired and bad team, but still it is nice to have more flexibility now.
I expect a more difficult game against the Jazz next. If I am the Jazz coach, I am taking the next few days drilling the team that it won't be another dunk show. Mavs should take care of business, but tricky beating a team twice in a row. Both teams seem not to like each other too much either.
