He’s been magnificent. I love my core guys on GS but that team is ass compared to yesteryear. Bogut/ Barnes/ Livingston >>>>>>>>>>>>> Looney/ Wiggins/ Poole. Their team defense isn’t good enough to stop Luka from dominating if his shot is falling. So you and Terrell rolling with Dallas It wouldn't shock me if they beat GS but GS can get them to move on defense, something Phoenix is struggling at. Curry and Green present issues for Dallas.

Their only other rotational first round pick is Reggie Bullock at 24, two undrafteds in Kleber and Finney-Smith. It would only be right for Kidd to meet Spo in the battle of maximizing the hell outta your roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk fans think you need 5 defensive players of the year to play cohesive defense. Well the Mavs and Kidd disagree! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can Trae improve at his size? I think he is what he is already.. He can try harder on D, and cut down the turnovers, but is that going to be enough to win with him as our #1 guy? I know everyone wants him to play off ball some, but if they think he was worn down this season, wait until they see his lil ass running around screens and shit all game long..

I wonder are we going to see an appearance from Iggy on Luka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That much is clear. He has to become better off the ball and stop ball watching. He also has to be more dedicated on D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t claim to watch the Mavs a lot but I don’t perceive any improvement from any of their rotational guys. Brunson was naturally gonna be on a scoring efficiency incline with more minutes. But I wouldn’t want anyone on their team in their current role, not even Luka. Brunson can be my sixth man and Powell my 7th all day. I’m straight on everyone else. No coincidence they’re playing well in THJr’s absence. His game is made for the Kings. They have the 26th highest payroll for a reason (Hawks 15th, Suns 13th). Kidd has pulled all the right levers and pushed all the right buttons finally. I knew his exceptional basketball IQ had to show as a coach at some point.
