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.

Sometimes- is an understatement. It seems to happen more often than not. Call a few set plays that post up Luka so he can get a closer attempt or open up an outside shooter from a double. Post or iso KP and let him work. I don't even know if they have post plays in their sets. Lol. Free roam offense needs to be more limited by RC in games and situations like that.
