"Teeny-tiny sample size but something to consider:

Mavs passes per game all season before Feb. 8: 265.4, 27th in the NBA

Mavs passes per game since Feb. 8 (post-trade, Kyrie's debut): 332.3, 1st in the NBA"

Passes the eye test for sure.

As good as Luka was at passing, Mavs fell into a routine

Possession 1 - Luka jacks a three
Possession 2 - Luka drives for a layup
Possession 3 - Luka drives for a layup
Possession 4 - Luka drives and kicks and the player misses a three
Possession 5 - Luka jacks a three

Makes me miss last season where everyone was selfless and Luka might not get the assist, but another guy would.

I feel like 90% of that was just the loss of Brunson. Having no capable ballhandler outside of Luka was just killing us.
