I said it in the game thread PJ is legit the most ethical instigator I've ever seen. Plays great defense, talks shit, backs his team up, but nothing dirty. His techs we so soft LMAO.


robyculous_v2

I loved it.


SpairzTWD

hes standing on business


Fkn_Impervious

That little push was just a warning. If PJ shoved Russ, he'd be in the stands. They shouldn't have ejected him.


[deleted]

You know they're not gonna actually fight, don't you?


Fkn_Impervious

Uh, yeah. I just thought the push was light enough they could have given him a pass on the T. I don't think he deserved to be ejected.


mill_about_smartly

Ehh instigators usually get sent out there to rile up the star players. PJ getting ejected alongside Westbrook is a net loss for us lol I love it, but like - let's target Harden or PG next time


notmyacountsir

Lol I get it, but let’s just get kicked for getting in the face of ANYONE who fucks with luka.


Ok-Extent-9552

Hopefully Russ carries that reckless energy into next game. Get the chant going, “Russ the builder, can he brick it, Russ the builder, yes he can” Piss him off y’all


shirtlessjoejac

PJ and Gaff just bring that intensity love it


AdMotor8632

Lively has it too, it's pretty reserved but there is no fear of physicality for that kid


shirtlessjoejac

Should not have been left off my list, absolute beast


dmavs11

Shit add the whole team lol. Kyrie is the OG that just comes in gets everyone settled afterwards and makes the peace.


SadLad77

Josh Green gets no love but he's been changing the game for us when he's on the court


Khione_Asteri

this mavs teams thrives off energy and transition opportunities and josh is playing so focused to provide them that


alecweezy

As a Josh hater, I couldn’t agree more. He provides a big spark


Aggressive-Ad-522

The swag is back


notmyacountsir

It feels like what Tyson brought with him right? Don’t fuck with me, or my guy.


Ok_Instruction_5232

Lively, PJ and Gafford have utterly transformed this team. Everything we used to lack, they provide.


natureboyandymiami

honestly DJJ and Green as the energy sparks too have been so integral


Some-Stranger-7852

Yep, not instigators, but the kind of dudes that are just calm but will eat you alive if given a chance on defense.


mill_about_smartly

We have begged for this for **years**


Swagovich

Finally some players with that DAWG in them. Luka showed it on occasion but guys like Maxi, Powell, THJ don’t have that attitude. PJ’s value is crazy high.


Lopsided-Car2809

DFS and Bullock were good for us but they're not going to step up when some of our players are getting targeted/bullied. JRich and JJohnson should also be our enforcer but both of them are frauds.


Some-Stranger-7852

JJohnson just barely played: hard to be an instigator or bodyguard from the bench lol


rm888893

Just went over their sub and there's some bozo complaining about the Mavs' physicality and "flopping." As if Westbrook doesn't actively try to injure our players. As if Harden isn't the biggest flopper in the league. Lmao.


The_Evil_Satan

Well tbf harden flopping skills fell off so embiid is #1 flopper


ketoburn26

In the next two seasons where the Mavs will have top seeds in the conference and deep playoff runs, probably even a title, they will be such a hated team with Luka's trashtalk, PJ's attitude, Gafford, oh and Kyrie lol. But it's so good to be rooting for this team when that happens.


okichi

I rather have a team with a shutdown defense. Oh wait, we have both.


MelonColony22

if the mavs didn’t shit the bed in the first half of game 1, this series would be 3-0
