[Game] 53/82: Kings @ Mavericks 10 FEB 2025, 5:30pm PT/8:30pm ET

Yeh let’s get rid of the best wing defender on the team because he’s the 5th option offensively behind Lavine, Domas, Monk and Deebo. Who out of that group should he be scoring more than?
Notice I never said take him out of the lineup. I have long been saying that Keegan is not a natural 4 and that we are playing him out of position. I’d prefer to slot him in the forward position, slide Zach down to the 2 and use DDR to get a real 4.
 
Key to the second half, clearly, is cut those turnovers down. The Mavs don’t have an answer for our offense. DDR is cooking and Sabonis is too big for them.
Too much passing up the open shot. Still feels like we're trying to get past stepping on each other's toes. Starting unit dialed in a bit so far in the 1H, but still not close to where we want to be

Can't believe we haven't had a practice yet with the new guys. And it shows
 
Why does it not feel like lavine is on the team to me. He feels like a substitute teacher. Almost like he won’t be here in 2 weeks. I can’t put my finger on it.
I know what you mean. It feels like right now he’s filling into deaaron’s role vs. being the Levine we are used to. Tonight is the first time he seems a bit more comfortable and aggressive. Still not getting any open looks from three which is weird. I think the all star break could do wonders.
