  • let’s talk about how Lively is being used on defense. because a lot of times JKidd is making GWill guard the opposing Cs. JKidd’s reasoning imo is GWill has the strength to push the bigs away from the paint. we saw that against Wemby when GWill was guarding Wemby and DLive was guarding Zach Collins. and even against OKC we saw a lot of GWill guarding Chet and Lively guarding Giddey. but as we saw Giddey can pull Lively away from the paint, and Lively doesn’t have the quickness to guard Giddey

    what I’m getting at is maybe it’s time to try Lively guarding Cs full time? but then GWill doesn’t have lateral quickness. can we try Luka, Kyrie, Green, DJJ, Lively?














  • I’m not here to defend JKidd, but the last mavs play when Lakers were up i think 99-101(?), then Kyrie made the 3, i can see the reasoning there not calling a timeout. Lakers had 2 weak defenders (at least in my eyes): Reaves and D’Lo. Reaves was on Kyrie and D’Lo on Timmy. Reaves was caught sagging off and Kyrie made him pay
