KZ had a big 2nd half as Mavs came back form a 7 point halftime deficit.
28 & 14 on good (11-17) shooting for the game.
Also played good interior defense, altering a number of shots.
Of course, KZ no doubt benefits from having a number of days off.
But he looked good on both ends.
Seemed to have a blah 1st half, but I tuned in mid 2Q.
Yeah, watching some of the best athletes in the world chuck low % 3-point shots is boring. And it's expanded so now nearly everyone on the roster launches 3-pointers. Mavs game had Finney-Smith shoot 4 3's and make 1. Yawn.
DAL was 13-40 on 3's, nearly half their 83 FG's.
When a team shoots more than 40% of their FG's form 3 it's a snooze. When it hits 50% it's criminally dull.
My other main complaint NBA-wise involves all the baby rules such as flagrant and clear-path fouls, and their implementation. Which often result in excessive lengthy reviews.
The new commercials in between FT's are hideous, as though FT's weren't bad enough. Whatever station I caught the Mavs game on, they had a picture in picture small box replay of a basket while the ball was being inbounded. It took me a little to get used to, but it was a nice way to slip in some very quick turnaround replays before the next play developed. If not overused, it seemed like a nice addition.
Greg Anthony was the color commentator and did a solid job.
