I voted Luka only because I couldn't split between him and Boban.
Boban looked like a man among children out there. Even did a little perimeter defense.
Between Love hitting 3s and their PG (Sexton?) hitting that floater from just below the FT line, I was a little worried early that the Cavs might be a problem, but DAL actually played some pretty good defense to get that under control.
Interesting that I was listening to the pre-game on Sirius XM, which used the CLE announcers, and they were saying that DAL doesn't have enough "toughness" and the plan was to body them up and pick up Luka full court. Soooo....I guess it's back to the drawing board?
Interesting that both losses have been due to referee issues. Better Mavs play could have avoided that possibility, but there it is. My point is that this team has had the real opportunity to start 6-0. They haven't yet played anyone who dominated them for more that a few stretches. I think this is a monster in the making. GSW is out, NOP is starting to smell, DEN appears to have issues, HOU doesn't look like a power house. IF EVERYONE STAYS HEALTHY, I think DAL is getting post-season checks.
Also, maybe it was just me, but KP and Boban out there together kind of gave me an old school thrill. I know it's not for every situation, but it was fun to watch and kind of shifted the balance of the game.
