Been in Colombia for the past week for a bachelor party. I’ve missed everything, I still gotta go back & read every single post from that Suns gameThey did an incredible job on Luka. Fully locked in. Great team effort for real.
The part about him being gassed is real.
I know the Mavs got guys that can create off the bounce for themselves…but man, them late clock isos for long twos or contested 3s or congested drives are a few too many.
They’ll get run off the floor, if they can’t get easy shots.ill steelo thoughts?
factual statements from Sir Charles
Dirk was hitting one legged fall away mid range’s. That would be quite amazing if he consistently hit fall away one legged 3’s
I ain't trying to spin ****.
He's talking about Looney like he's Prime Shaq. "Can Bob Williams and Al Horford even contain him?"

You're completely missing the point: the more aggressive team wins. The team that attacks the paint more wins. The team who usually dominates the paint wins, I don't care if you got elite bigs on your squad or guys like McGee, Looney, Portis, Dwight, or Brook Lopez.
I never said Warrior bigs were posting up and impacting the series that way lol. GSW don't have post up bigs like AD, Embiid, Jokic, and Giannis. Therefore thry have to find other ways to win thr battle of the paint.
But THEY get it, when it comes to winning championship basketball because...
The point I've been harping on all week is that the KEY to this series is whoever is MORE AGGRESSIVE AT ATTACKING THE RIM wins.
Because when you attack the paint it opens up two things...1) bigs receive easy dump off passes or lobs, and 2) your shooters get wide open looks because attacking the paint causes the defense to collapse and if you move/swing the rock as potently as the Warriors do, you will get all kinds of looks from deep.
Look at how all of a sudden an average big man Looney can play "Big" in big moments. It's because GSW's system allows for him to shine cause they know exactly how to utilize him.
Same thing with the impact Kuminga made in the MEM series.
Bottom line remains: you gotta get easy buckets inside, I don't care how you do it, when it comes to winning chips. And when this happens, you automatically will incolve your bigs.
It ain't about those damn threes.
The night before Game 1,I said this and so far I've been 100% on the money
Them continuing to attack Looney on defense in the 3rd quarter when it clearly wasn't working was certainly a head scratching strategy.
Depth and talent? Lol
My guy really watches basketball with a hyper focus on one thing. I really appreciate it.I ain't trying to spin ****.

I recognize you have to have playmaking guards and wings to make all this happen but it ain't about those damn threes. It ain't about running one on one iso plays with 4 guys camped outside the three point line a la all of James Harden's teams.
