The problem with Dallas defensively is Luka and Kyrie on the floor together creates open lanes to attack for the other teams.
It then gets compounded when you rely on guys like Kleber or Powell to rim protect.
You have to pretty much surround these two guys all game with with 2-3 competent teammates who can play defense or else it's going to look like a terrible defensive team night in and night out.
Even Denver was able to get stops doing their championship run last year because they had a few solid defenders they could surround jokic and Murray with when it mattered.
