Lively with a monster game.
But my Dirkie goes to PJ.
I have PJ as the 3rd star of the team, and on nights like this when he gets thrusted upwards as the pseudo star -- he delivered.
The pecking order is established.
And PJ knows it (only ones who doesn't is probably Din and Hary LOL)
NOTES: The Naji-Grimes-Klay trio of wings
Klay with just 3 points, didn't feel like he was a negative out there, he was giving the team direction and just knows how to play team ball, but he is the only dude of the Naji-Grimes-Klay trio of wings that I could take out in favor of Hardy or Din.
To me Naji plays the Luka role. Big dude who can dribble and is a willing passer. Definitely a guy the Mavs can't afford to do without in the Luka less games.
Grimes -- dude looks like he is breaking out from the "role player" designation. The way he moves out there -- it's just so different from the usual role players the Mavs had. I wouldn't trade this guy for Herb Jones straight up. He is the third top guard on the team (besides Luka and Kyrie).
