Pat Beverly is back at it again on ESPN today. He definitely seems to be lining up a post-player career with all of the spicy hot takes. At one point, he appeared to disagree with JJ Redick that Tatum was a good two-way player.
I was actually referencing this one. I'm not sure if he doubts Tatum as a 2-way player in the clip you posted because I didn't watch it.
Reddick immediately asks him if he watched the Nets series and Beverley basically admits 'No'.. so he'll fit in perfectly with ESPN as not knowing what he's talking about at all while doing zero research.
Dallas missed a gazillion open 3’s. Their role players need to knock them down for the Mavs to win.
It's the way the game is played now where you could say that about any team. Role players making threes is basically the key to success, and the difference in star players is just how effective they are in helping those role players knock-down threes.
Well yeah. Dallas is Luka and a bag of garbage. Dubs are fishy but have the experience top to bottom.
Definitely. But theyre role players with such limited variety. Only brunson really has another gear then stand there and wait for Luka.
For all the love Jordan Poole received during the regular season, by myself as well, he’s virtually unplayable right now with his inability to function in a defensive scheme.
I don’t think last year matters at all in this discussion. The Celtics are a wildly different team.
I was thinking the same thing and Luka has a history of punking the Celtics however in a seven game series I don’t think the Mavericks can come out on top. Luka does not have a strong supporting cast and he can’t do it by himself. Injuries could change things but I think the Celtics would demolish Dallas if they meet in the finals.
you know it's bad when NBA twitter, which never agrees on anything is overwhelmingly asking "how has he not gotten tossed?"
