Consistency is something all coaches and players in the NBA crave. It represents a little piece of dependability in an otherwise unpredictable business.
The holidays are the perfect time to give – and receive – the gift of consistency. And the Mavericks may have stumbled onto a very stable situation with their starting lineup.
For the sixth time this season, Luka Donu010diu0107, Kyrie Irving, P.J. Washington, Klay Thompson and Dereck Lively II stepped to center court for the jump ball on Monday against Portland.
And for the sixth time, the Mavericks walked away winners with that starting lineup, spanking the Trail Blazers 132-108 at American Airlines Center.
