A Few Thoughts on Mavs 116, Hornets 100

[mtrot]

Carlisle emphasized how important Seth has been to the team this season. He is not only a shooter, but also a driver, playmaker, and underrated defender -- truly a special player, all per the coach. To put a cherry on top, Seth's flaming night resulted in his becoming the league's most accurate active career 3-point shooter, passing one Steph Curry for the honor. Congrats, Seth, you did us proud!

Seth is generally WAY underrated on this board. He has not had a good year from an on/off perspective, but he brings so many things to the table that this team desperately needs. I think it could be argued that he is the team's third most important player.

To me, he is better on defense than many think.  One thing I've noticed is that he has the ability to anticipate passes and steals or gets a hand on a lot of them.  And, relative to Brunson, Seth has a much quicker first step, which can make a lot of good things happen.
