Well, it was definitely easier for him with no Adams and no Alpi (well except for the first minute of the 2nd match). Adams would make him work harder in our paint, and Alpi would make him work harder on D.
Or possibly that he’s really good and nearly impossible to defend, especially now that he’s out of LeBron’s shadow and is the acknowledged #1 on his team.
nope... i never thought it once.... I dont correlate a teams success with my view of the city in which they play... or vice versa.... its a freaking sports team, get a grip... lol
True, but he is obviously playing harder in a couple of games against Rockets. One of them was because it was his first game in a Mav uniform and he was being ridiculed for being on the other end of a lopsided trade, so he wanted to prove himself. The point is he has been putting in extra effort, the Rockets should be doing the same. Whatever his reasons are, he seems to want to destroy the Rockets. He typically is much more passive, the guys on the broadcast also mentioned this.
True. I hope that in our next match against the Mavs our guys will show the same effort and limit him.
