Lively was the worst player in the rotation tonight. That’s what my eye test said, and when I checked, it was backed up by a big on court minus number. He’s been great in the playoffs. I love him on the Mavs and he may one day make an all star team. But this hasn’t been his series. He’s been thrown off by the physicality and relentlessness of the Celtics, and the stakes of the game, getting beat and out worked in the paint by smaller players. Obviously, I’m not really a fan of anyone’s performance tonight. Gafford did show some grit in the 4th quarter though. Mostly, it was a team that went into hyperactive mode, made a slew of mistakes and ill advised decisions, and did a bad job dealing with the pressure. Home games will help. I expect a big win Wednesday, and then we’ll see what they’re made of Friday
