NBA 2021-22 will see Dallas Wings facing off against Phoenix Suns on Friday, 21 January 2022 at 06:00 AM IST
I am highly impressed by the defensive discipline of this Dallas team and it is not recently that they have picked up their defensive game, it has been the template since the beginning of the season.
With a closer like Luka Doncic, it is a matter of maintaining a 4-6 points lead and he can cap it off with some late-game shots, making him one of the best clutch players in the league.
One of my favorite players in the league, Dorian Finney-Smith has been an inspirational player on defense, being both a high-quality one-on-one defender and also a great help defender.
Apart from these two, you can’t forget Kristaps Porzingis who can score in bunches while Jalen Brunson is as important as anyone, who can act as a big-time scorer and the second major playmaker.
Off the bench, Tim Hardaway presents a great isolation offensive game. Meanwhile, Maxi Kleber, Dwight Powell, and Reggie Bullock can also play disciplined defense, and play hard, meaning, that the Mavericks have a lot of feisty players in the team.
If the Mavericks sustain this intensity, this can spell trouble for the contenders, this team should be considered as a serious contender if they place such high standards.
Talking about contenders, this Suns team went to the Finals last season and they have flexed their high-quality game all season long, looking as motivated as last season to go on a title run.
The Suns have a well-balanced squad and their depth enables them to get ahead even if they keep missing their key players.
Right now, Deandre Ayton is out, so what! You have Biyombo, McGee, and Smith to fill in, who are nowhere near Ayton’s level but can be difference-makers. And then with two guards like Paul and Booker, you can give fits to oppositions.
Booker is a highquality isolation scorer, while Paul is one of the craftiest passers in the league. Wings Cameron, Mikal, and Jae, you get quality defense and also a bunch of impressive shooting. And we can’t forget about guards like Shamet and Payne, who respond well whenever their number is called.
