Interesting game but perhaps not for the right reasons.
Jokic is the best overall player--in the world--right now. His skills were on grand display, but something I hadn't paid any attention to was also there. That was his Leadership and on court and bench coaching. This is quite something from a man who says he'd rather be home tending his ponies.
I'm not sure what the offensive scheme is for the Mavericks. Sometimes it looks like "give the ball to Luka and see what falls out." Other times it's "Give the ball to Kyrie and hope he'll bail us out." Well...Kyrie has been doing his job, but the supporting cast has been lacking. Most of the times the offense looks like any playground free for all.
Klay has not been playing well as a starter. Time to make a change.
Other than those few complaints...the Mavs are a good team...
