    You'd think MDA would come up with some plays for when Harden gets doubled at half court.

    Mike Dan Tony is full of ****. Thats just a way to avoid calling Harden a PF. Truth is, Harden's been playing mostly PF on this team for the past 4 years.

    With games closer together than normal, I'm wondering if depth will be more important in these playoffs. If so, that's not great for us.

    We are playing OK , luka is tough to guard really strong . Mavs aren’t missing from 3 .

    if we were doing a better job hitting our open shots game would be tied or we’d have lead

    Mavs mixing the defense up with more trapping.

    There’s plenty of them. The rest of the team just sucks at execution Or can’t shoot. That’s not on mda.

    This is one reason I’ve always liked Westbrook. He can make boneheaded plays but he doesn’t quit.

    Mavs have a better coach. That's been evident.

    This is when you should play Harden off ball and let Russ take over

    I’m staying the obvious but we could really use a true big that can defend and shoot.

    you also can’t double luka, because his team has snipers. We have Westbrook house and tucker who are all hit or miss

    Hopefully Westbrook is waking up. Nice little burst there, need him to take advantage of the hard double on James
