Mavs are where "defenders" come to die.
Theres a lot of things i don't get about the system, coach and owner. How long do they need to see something before they realize they need to trash it?
Luka is a tragic defender. He should never be guarding pg or sg...ever. its embarrasing when he gets isolated vs anyone with handles or any size and it gets worse the quicker they are. There were about 4 or 5 open 3s last night because Luka gets crossed up and blown by, the help sags in toward the lane and they kick the ball out to the open guy. Thats been happening from day 1 and hasnt improved. Its foolish to have him anywhere up top defending anyone.
Thj is another guy who sags off his man on defense as if hes going to accomplish anything. Its either a reach in foul, an and1 or a pass out to the man he just left and he cant recover and get back out to his man.
