surprised he kept with Powell. Out of all their bigs, he’s the only one that doesn’t eat against the Kings…but chances are Wood and McGee are regularly not the guys and coaches won’t deviate from that just because of a certain matchup. Kidd wants Powell out there in general so Powell is going to be the guy.
We're comin!!!!!
That is a damn good team we just beat tonight.
De'Aaron took that game over at the end vs a team with Kyrie and Doncic. How bout that?
Masterful showing from Terence Davis off the bench.
In a game where Murray and Huerter struggled to shoot the ball for most of it we sure looked like a playoff team out there, or even a team that could win a series in the playoffs.

Also Lyles small-ball C in crunch time. I just think it's the move... he's a better rebounder than Metu and he lets you play 5-out on offense where Fox can either kick to him or have a a wide open paint with the rim protector drawn on Lyles. I think he's just better suited to battle with bigs because of his frame than Metu as well.
It's better offensively, it lets you experiment with more Huerter/TD at the 3 type lineups, it lets you find a role for TD once Monk comes back. Just no downside imo

We're probably not going to win the championship this year but god damn this team is resilient when we're so used to seeing them fold. We're going to give any team a tough series because they do seem to get better the more familiar they are. Even if teams "figure us out", we're figuring them out too.
To an extent what you saw with Wood, we can recreate with Lyles. Either you leave Wood open to help on the Luka/Kyrie drive, or you give them a wide open lane to the rim. That's tough to stop and we couldn't during that stretch where Wood was on fire.
What's nice with Lyles is he can put the ball on the deck a little bit too. So if someone closes on him too hard, he can give you a straight line drive to the rim.

2002 and 04 playoffs vibes
Yeah, with Lyles you can be far more effective on that draw and kick play. Sitting him in the corner is the concern. The Mavs were able to hide Luka on him in the 4th and it crunched down the paint. If they learn that they have a skilled small ball C and how to use it, it will take some pressure off of the others for sure.
