GAME 2: DAL (2-0) @ NOP (0-2) | 123-116 win

[j0Shi]

Easy effing W

Things to watch:

• Luka / KP bromance
  
  
• Starting unit performance, who's going to be the 5th starter?
  
  
• KP rebounding
  
  
• Three point performance
  
  
• Who's going to guard Ingram?
  
  
• Luka vs. good defenders (Holiday / Lonzo)
  

Like to add "pushing the ball here. I was really surprised that the Mavs played that slow against the Wizards. Luka is a magician in every situation and put up 17 in 10 iso possessions, but these are "hard" points nonetheless. Trae in the meantime put up 38 and 9 effortless because a good chunk came in transition.

Sure Trae is a better pure shooter, but I felt he was getting easier points by simply speeding up the game. Not sure, but I recall Carlisle often yelling "go go" from the sideline, but Luka actively decided against it.
