While everyone talked about GS smallball, and Donnie was looking for undersized players, all the GS opponents were commenting how long and defensively active that team was.
There is a difference between smallball and small ball. Even if this iteration of the cast will need some refinements, at least you can see a plan that has proven to work if they get the talent right.
When the Mavs signed Pinson and Chriss, I mentioned if this was a clue of the type of players they feel they are missing. A wing player who can defend and has a good feel for the game and a rim running big who is physical and athletic.
Now hopefully the Mavs will eventually find better versions of Chriss and Pinson longterm, but I felt it was interesting.
