Even if Mavs lose this series, I still think they are headed in the right direction. I see it as paying their dues. Most champion teams go thru the gauntlet to become studs. Dirk had SAS and Utah. Even Jordan had the Pistons. My hope is the Mavs get better. Luka needs to get stronger. Mentally and physically. He is friends with Green and Curry and he didn’t bully them. He needs to realize there are no friends to win it all. I hope he chats with Jordan or Dirk to get to the next level. I was guilty of thinking they would go thru the Warriors but the Dubs are just on another level. They have the confidence. Its like MJ playing with Barkley. He knew he would beat them. I am still hoping Mavs make a series of this. They would be need be more aggressive and to believe they are better. Also, Kidd needs to do more pick and rolls/

Mavs are looking like the Nuggets looked vs the Warriors in the 1st round

The only thing is Denver at least gets back Murray and Porter next year.

Mavs need to be aggressive and get some more talent in here to help Luka get to the Finals

Likely means we need to resign Brunson and flip to a team that needs a PG for something more useful such a multi dimensional large guard or wing like a Bane or Bey.

Pretty sure the shot quality website will say we should have this game by 110-102, or something like that, based on the quality of the shots. Even our defense was okay today. The truth is we could have 2 of these games, but lost because we really don't have a plan B with this roster.

Why didn’t the Mavs use their pick and rolls?

Mavs just have tired legs. I know everyone is tired, but the amount of minutes and reliance on 6 guys is D'Antoni-esque. Bullock missing every shot, Kleber no show, and Lukas D...they are obviously connected. As people mentioned, the shot chart says we win this game.

On top of that, we are outmatched. It is what it is. I just won't listen to some BS narrative that if Luka played better D, then we're off to the promise land. Such misguided takes will eventually send him to another team if echoed enough.

This is straight from Kidd.

Like I said before Luka is a phenomenal talent but as mavs fans we should all be honest and state he does need to work on being better defensively or else teams will continue to attack him in the playoffs.


Jason Kidd said that Luka Doncic has to evolve and to defend. He said the model for Luka is LeBron James who controls the game at both ends.

Kidd said Luka is trying to trend away from being “Harden” and the goal is to be LeBron.

An actually fit and lighter Luka would be 50% better on D just from an endurance and quickness standpoint

Teams will always attack the opposing team's best player because of their usage rate. It's just common sense. And Luka will never be prime Lebron on defense. Building those expectations is unreasonable.

Luka hasn't been good at D this series, but it's not the deciding factor at all. And if that calf injury hadn't happened, then we might not even be talking about this.

You can see why I questioned the 3pt shooting at the beginning of the year.
