Game 3 GDT - Warriors @ Mavs - 8:00 PM CT

[Dallas41]

Can't get stops so it's pointless

BTW LUka's #'s are going to look awesome but if we are unbiased dude does need to work his defense

He got absolutely destroyed this series on the defensive end of the floor.

It seems like everyone blew by him in less than 3 seconds of man defense

Needing to rely on Luka for defense when your team is stock full of 3 and D players is ridiculous.

Maybe after we lose the series we'll discuss how he needs to pass it more too...yikes.

IT's ok man

Luka is great but let's be real he does need to get better defensively.

Sure you can blame the other players but Luka has to be held accountable by being able to hold up for at least 4-5 seconds in man to man defense.

When you get blown by on every defensive possession within 2 seconds that hurts your team defense as a whole.

His defense is actually decent. Wasn't great this series, but it's more than acceptable overall. Coming into shape and making fts is fair criticism.

Again, the entire design of this team was surrounding him with defenders. His usually decent D wouldn't have changed the series.

Guys that didn't show made sure this wasn't a series.

Yea, Luka has played really bad defense. Game2 first half was solid but everything before and after has been a big reason why Wiggins looks like a superstar. Luka isn't moving his feet well, getting beat off the 1v1 dribble and getting blown by on close-outs if he even does close out.

JB still keeps falling asleep defensively. He gave up a cpl O-rebs and open 3s just by not paying attention to his own man. This keeps happening. Those 2 guys had to be a lot better defensively in order to win this series.

Bullock and DFS are what they are. Solid defenders that can knock down wide open 3s and really nothing else. No ball skills.
