My point is GS doesn't shoot as many 3's because they score in the paint also. They had 63 pts in the paint tonight. Dallas needs to score more in the paint, and quit relying on 3's.
Offense had very little to do with the loss. Any team will take 21-45 from three any night.
To lose shooting like that is nearly impossible, requiring a catastrophic defensive disaster. And, the defense was truly atrocious. Ole, ole all night. Not a single Mav could stay in front of their man, and the paint defense was all time bad. Maybe it’s time to give Burke a shot in the rotation. It’s the only thing I can think of to ramp up the perimeter speed. I remember the Mavs tried that last year and really turned the tables on them. Right now, the Mavs look like a slow 1950s team up against a modern F1 race car. They just can’t continue to allow the Warriors to blow by them into the paint.
