Game 59 Now A Game Thread: Mavs(31-27) at Lakers(34-21), 9:00 PM Central Time

[Knutsen]

He was. He tried to do too much and got all out of rhythm. He and PJ played so poorly. I’m not worried about either one of them. Let them play their usual positions and they are likely to be two high quality starters. 
It seems like we missed all 20 shots to take the lead. We had numerous chances to really do something tonight.

Isn’t that somehow expected by a 21 year old playing the team that drafted him and believed in him for the first time? I‘m more interested in how he’ll learn and mature from experiences like this in the next months. 

I guess you could say the same about PJ. His role here was that of a defensive leader and offensive role player. Before with the Hornets it was the other way around. Can he put those two roles together consistently in the feature and develop into a borderline allstar player?

That is if he doesn’t get wiped out for KD by Nico in the summer of course.
