Just far too many turnovers thus far. And most aren't even because of OKC's swarming defense. Just dumb full court passes or like the Grimes one where he's on the floor and Kyrie doesn't meet him.
The fact the Mavs are within 3 with Luka shooting terribly and turning it over non-stop should be the message heading into the 2nd half. If I was Kidd, I'd start putting Luka in the post. Every time just have Caruso or Dort try and stop him down there. I'd keep trying to find corner 3pt shooters too if OKC wants t o keep doubling.
Defensively just have to secure the rebound and truthfully can't have Gafford out there. He's giving up way too many open 3s. It's games like this where we're missing PJ and Maxi as our small ball 5s.
What is promising is that Kidd must've read the board and he copied my lineup of Luka/Kyrie/Grimes/Klay/Lively. And it looked really good. ALSO OMAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
