Watching New Orleans just makes you realize how flawed this mavs roster is
Dallas might be the only team in the NBA that is allergic to driving the ball tp the basket.
Pelicans even without Zion still try to attack the paint. They shoot 3's but they also have multiple guys who can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim.
I think that is why Dallas struggles so much in close games late because they no longer have JB who would attack the paint as opposed to settle for the 3
Luka at times will totally stop driving and settle for step back 3"s way too often. That's why him JB and Dinwiddie were tough to defend because it wasn't just all 3's being shot in close games
Guys like THJ and Wood are going to launch the 1st open 3 point shot they get. They don't really stay aggressive trying to drive the ball.
