Luka is on our team but if you guys are watching what's happening in the East you'll see Tatum doing similar things. Mavs and Celtics are playing very similar basketball, exploiting bigs and putting the opposition in the blender on every single possession.
The Bucks have a 7 foot MVP and Brook Lopez was beasting, doing big man stuff. Offensive rebounds, layups, dunks. Boston just didn't have enough size to match up and one can imagine they would dominate the Mavs too. Conventional wisdom says Dallas needs a big to neutralize big physically dominant centers.
But Boston stuck with a front court of 6' 9" Horford and a 6' 6" wing who can shoot and won by 30. Why wouldn't the Mavs just do the same thing with the guys who are already on the roster? I mean, Dallas just did this to the Suns with three big centers and won by damn near 40.
Look, I'm all for adding "another Kleber" I just don't know who that is. Horford maybe?
