Beautiful start to the fourth.

Great win. With Mavs losing to Golden State we're now one game back from the 5/6 spot. Tiebreaker with Dallas still up for grabs too. If they lose to Houston and we beat Phoenix then we own the tiebreaker.

Keon not as effective of late, as the league begins to figure him out.

Scoring wise, maybe, but he's still been very impactful in my opinion.

The thing is it's been clear we didn't need his scoring. His defensive presence and not being a total pylon make him an upgrade on the court even if he pulls a PJ Tucker stat line.

He may not be scoring but he's definitely impacting the game.

Great team win. Having Lyles back is awesome, really sucks Malik had to go right when we got him back!

Still the 5 man lineup of Fox - Ellis - Keegan - Lyles - Domas might be my favorite lineup we've used all year.

If davion can continue to contribute on offense, Len can play defense, Barnes has his moments, and then swing between Duarte/Kessler/Sasha depending on matchups we can still put together a decent 9 man rotation for the play in games

The modern Doug Christie?

Honestly I think its a great comparison. Obviously we have to see if what Keon did in March is sustainable (or he can even improve on that), but I think it absolutely is. At the peak of Christie, he was a guy who scored 10-12ppg, rebounded, could pass, and played elite defense. Jack of all trades.

I would be thrilled if Keon does that. And early results are similar. Can do it all, no real weaknesses. Elite getting in passing lanes. Rebounds above average, can bring the ball up the floor, 40% from deep.

Doug was an all league level defender and a really good facilitator so it's definitely asking a lot of Keon to even sniff Doug's level but that's definitely the role/archetype he should be shooting for.
