Warriors vs. Mavericks
The score in the series is 1-0, the first match was taken by Golden State - 112:87.
Warriors in the first match kept the "paint" as tight as possible, but often gave away three. Mavs could not punish them - they threw badly. Here, in the next match, we are waiting for more minutes for Kleber (he will be another shooter), and a certain readiness of Dallas for the active defense of Warriors. On the other hand, in the course of the game, Warriors increased their consistency, and in places Warriors rotated very steeply, so that part of the Dallas three-piece was with big resistance.
Mavs were rarely exchanged in defense, and all this safety net was confused against the movement of the Warriors without the ball (and at each stage of the match, Curry, Clay, Pool, or Wiggins lit up). There are two potential exits here:
- start exchanging, and see what Curry and Pool will throw at Doncic. But then Luka can die by the second half.
- saturate the three-second with bodies, and strangle the opening of Warriors there, as Grizzlies did. But the Warriors can separate Looney and Green by the minute, and it will be harder to insure (can still try, because in this scenario, Draymond does not play the "four", and then the warriors need to add people to the rotation, and there are no good candidates there).
In general, Warriors probably don't mind playing smallball, but they want Dallas to force them to switch to small fives. In the meantime, Looney is being exchanged for Doncic, snipers are smearing the Mavs, and the movement of the warriors in the attack cannot be strangled, and Golden State will continue to play with the center and Green.
In theory, the performance of the Warriors may be slightly lower, but the performance of Dallas and the effectiveness of matches in general should grow.
