Game 58: Dallas Mavericks (33-24) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (37-19)

[JamesConway912]

Mavericks are starting to catch up, going on a good run of clay on both ends of the floor. Does everyone notice who is playing center?

---

Jared Allen can shoot all the running hooks he wants. I will take that over the several wide-open threes they were giving up playing two bigs all day long.

Luka woke up.

Four straight stepback threes kinda helped Maxi‘s case though lol

I don’t have the numbers but so far the Kleber at PF-minutes didn’t appear to be great to me. But if that’s not working your C-rotation is completely overcrowded aka a bad use of assets. We need it to work.

I REALLY dislike the trend of not playing Lively in the closing lineups. At least he’s up to his mid 20s minutes-pace but they need to stop jerking him around.

Also: the Maxi at PF-minutes came with a ton of DJJ at the three. That might be an issue going forward due to the lack of shooting and craftiness from 3-5.

——-

Green might have taken a leap defensively. Gets even more steals and deflections and did a good job staying in front of his matchups.

Also it’s 2 AM over here. YUCK.
