Stop it, there was no floaters or lobs when Lively was in there. You guys with your excuses for Maxi are sad.
Because Harden was not beating his defender as easily as he was in last 5 minutes. Washington is normally pretty good, but Harden toyed with him. Team has coaches and time outs to make adjustments, Kidd didn't do anything.
Washington was afraid to get too aggressive because he knew he didn't have backside help, and Harden is a very smart player and took full advantage of that. That's why the Mavs hemorrhaged easy paint points in the clutch
They tanked the end of last season to get a guy to address that, that guy led all rookies in win shares. Only to completely ignore him in the 4th quarter and roll with the same guy this team has a clear ceiling with because Kidd is an unimaginative coach
Ok. Harden dribbles past Washington, Lively steps out and who covers easy lob to Zubac, who's under basket?
