I think sometimes the Mavs do exactly what other teams want them to do
How about playing some zone defense if you don't want KP defending smaller guys on defense
Vice versa KP could have had success vs the smaller Celtics by posting up it's not like he's a liability inside. Punish them inside and gurantee the Celtics would have been the team trying to adjust.
Even then Luka could have posted up to but I think the Mavs are so quick to give in often to what other teams want them to do.

Even KP said after the game he wants to be out there and attacking the mismatches. Seems everyone gets it but the coach.
