PLAYOFFS ROUND 1: #4 DAL (4-2) vs #5 UTA (2-4) |

[Kammrath]

When he came back, it clearly threw the rotation off. Dinwiddie had to go back to the bench, and it took JB away from being the 1st option on offense so in essence it took him out of causing havoc to Utah's defense. Utah didn't have a answer for JB. He still had a decent game with Luka back, but his role went back to what it was prior to Luka's injury. Utah played better D this game, but I don't know if they can sustain it after one game.

My biggest concern is the fact that Luka and JB still do not seamlessly play off of each other. JB's brilliance was muted in a BIG way today by the presence of Luka. Their playing styles seem to say you can only have one of them to maximize their genius.
