Ya'll know just because a team goes small doesn't mean the Mavs have to matchup with them

LA doesn't take AD off the floor when teams go small and neither will Philly with Embiid or Denver with Jokic or Utah with Gobert.

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.
