Just from my eyetest THJ forced the most misses against Kawhi. He had some good possessions in the 2nd quarter. Just looked at the tracking data
Defense vs Kawhi:
Kleber 20/34 FG 5/13 3PA 14/15 FT 3tov
THJ 5/10 FG 1/2 3PA 2/2 FT 3tov
KP 7/10 FG 1/1 FT
Doncic 4/8 FG 2/3 3PA 2/2 FT 1tov
DFS 5/6 FG 2/3 3PA 3/4 FT 1tov
Defense vs PG
DFS 13/25 FG 5/12 3PA 9/10 FT 4tov
Richardson 3/6 FG 1/3 3PA 1tov
THJ 6/12 FG 0/3 3PA
Doncic 1/4 FG 3/3 FT (remember the FTs, stupid foul from Luka. Shot clock at 0.3s and he jumps into PG)
KP 6/13 FG 0/4 3PA 5/5 FTA
Kleber 3/4 FG 1tov
The tracking data isn´t perfect but I am not sure if going smalll against both helps. Would increase the pressure on the handle/creation of the dribble but DFS and Maxi are getting bullied as well. Would probably be even worse against a smaller defender.
Just sucks that the Mavs don´t have a big wing. Have to use light weight DFS or mobile bigs like Kleber and Melli. Both can defend the perimeter on switches or against stretch bigs but shouldn´t be asked to play iso defense against the best or 2nd best (KD) iso wing in the league.
