We aren't beating the Spurs without a legit starting wing and Choke Paul playing like the role player he needs to be come playoff time.... a six-foot-nothing point guard overdribbling, playing Enriqueball and ignoring the true alpha of the team down the stretch isn't going to cut it, tbh....
That being said, all the work Blake has been putting in on his shot with Bob Thate is slowly starting to pay off.... Mavs fans may remember Thate as the shooting coach who turned Kidd into a perimeter threat, he's one of the best shooting coaches in the NBA.... for all the hate he gets, Blake has worked his ass off to improve his game every year....
Once his jumper starts consistently falling, he should work on his defense... he's shown flashes of good defense at times (I remember him guarding Dirk really well in a game or two last year), but he hasn't been very consistent....
