They are also very aggressive on Lively, who has had a few ball security issues. No way he only had one TO in the 1st half. They also crashing the offensive board hard, which I think calls for some Dennis Rodman/Karl Malone flying elbow blockouts. They need to send a message to Dort, Wallace, Williams, Caruso, Hartenstein that they´ll lose a few teeth, if they are trying to steal the Mavs defensive rebounds.
Good news: we play like crap and only down three.
Agree on the last sentence, for sure.
I don’t think they’ve been more aggressive on lively than they have been on anyone else, it’s just a lively is noticeably less ready for it than most of the others. I think they are being aggressive with their ball pressure to keep Dallas from playing at a faster pace. Hopefully there has been an adjustment made at halftime
