MMB on Luka's defense
If we?re being honest, Luka needs to be better. With Irving in tow, the excuse for Doncic?s subpar defense being that he?s worn out from doing everything on offense won?t last as long. After Kleber comes back, that?s it ? there is no white horse storming the countryside to save the Mavericks defense. No more trades, no more buyouts, this is the roster till the season is over. That means the guys on this roster have to do some self-reflection and truly ask themselves if they can be giving a better effort. That includes Doncic, and everyone else. It?s hard to watch the Mavericks defense falter because Doncic is still on the floor with an exasperated look on his face toward an official while the other team races down the floor to score an easy transition bucket.
