GAME 11: DAL (6-5) @ NYK (3-9) | 103-106 loss

[SleepingHero]

Okay, rant over.  Time to focus on the Raptors, should be a winnable game.

They are super scary. Beat the Lakers and the Clippers back to back on the road without Lowry or Ibaka.

Siakiam is like Giannis-lite. Mavs will have their work cut out for them.

Probably will be close again. Mavs play up and down the competition. Has someone seen them at this year? Do they play rather physical?


Mavs just struggle heavily with physical play against them.

I watched their games against the Lakers and Portland. Fred Vanvleet and Siakiam are the motors that keep the team running. They do play physical, especially down low. Boucher and Gasol make sure bigs have to work for everything they have and Siakaim plays like a mini-Giannis who barrels through the lane. Fred VV plays like a mix of Barea and JET in the games I've seen. The dude can just explode for 30. 

Keys for the Mavs are if anyone other than Luka can make a shot and if they can rebound against the Raptors big bodies. They're super long and lankynkey, like Orlando. I hope the Mavs come out motivated.
