2024 Playoffs- 4th Round: Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks

[dirkfansince1998]

Does anyone think they might try to guard Luka one on one and let him score 50 every game so the other guys aren't involved much? Nobody has really tried that this post season?

I think that is how they will start. Brown and Holiday taking turns. Switching the pick and roll unless it involves the big. Mavs need the best iso scoring version of Luka. And most importantly the best midrange and 3-point shooting version.
Up to Luka to force them to double. Also up to the coaches to come up with stuff that creates easier matchups for Luka. Could turn into a chess match. Mavs trying to force a switch onto Horford/KP. Celtics trying to preswitch/pre rotate to protect their bigs.
