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

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.

Which is exactly why I mentioned mid season that the plan should be to resign Brunson and flip him for a better fitting piece. If it happens in a S&T so be it. But, I think it would need to be by the TDL next season. They need a "Jimmy Butler" type player to play with Luka. Someone who is a stud defender and can score while playing a wing role. But, one that doesn't require the ball in his hands to be effective.

I think Dinwiddie has shown he can be that extra playmaker off the bench.
