The net didn't even move when it came down. Mbah a Moute couldn't have guarded him any better. Length + shooting touch = Get a shot basically whenever you want
The mavs can feel us breathing on the back of their net in the conference. They're always 1 or 2 game ahead of us somehow. Irritants.
I'd say that was a pretty great follow up performance by the rookie sensation, everything considered. Ricky Whobio?
Oh well, at least Dirk got 32 pts 11 rb 1 three, 2 stls 3 ast, and 1 blk for me. Jennings is a pretty special player though. He shows a lot of poise, but i felt he rushed his shots at the end of regulation and OT
Mbah a Moute defended Nowitzki just fine on that last possession, but I think Skiles should've had Ilyasova on Nowitzki more so at the end of overtime. Ilyasova's busy hands were getting to Dirk earlier, and I think that could've prevented someone OT buckets that Dirk hit.
You're probably right but Jennings seems to be a very good playmaker. He's also got good hands, defensively, and gets some boards. It should be interesting to see Rubio if and when he makes it over, particularly when he faces Jennings. Everybody will be drooling over that matchup.
From last year Olympic games and this year eurobasket games, I think Rubio's defense and playmaking are super, better than Jennings. If Rubio faces Jennings, I believe he can defend Jennings very well. He shut down Parker and VSpan in eurobasket games this summer.
I wonder if Orlando is in the market to dump Gortat's contract somewhere. Perhaps the Mavs are interested.
I don't think so, this is the NBA, no hand checking. That first game is going to be one sided. Rubio will be a rookie and Jennings will be an established players.
You think Rookie cannot do big things?! Actually, Jennings is a rookie now, and better than many established players.
