Umm, the Mavs have a total of TWO offensive rebounds.
When is Luka going to learn that that alley oop to Powell doesn't work any more when Powell has bigs around him? All the teams are on to it.

This team is Luka/KP and a bunch of 2nd/3rd teamers.
I think the reason Luka is frustrated is because no one is helping to take the burden off of him. Every move he makes, they are pressing and doubling him. They are trapping the p&r and swallowing up Powell & Kleber on the lob. When he does pass it out, none of the shots go down. I'm frustrated watching it, I can only imagine how he feels.

Maybe his teammates are frustrated as well because their franchise player isn´t playing any defense. It´s not a one way street. Yes the supporting cast isn´t great but it was good enough to beat the Bucks without Luka. It was also good enough during the win streaks in november and december.
It´s not like Luka is having great games in the recent Ls.

Uh uh, the way I see it is, on too many possessions, Luka is forcing it and not even looking for open guys.

Sometimes I think Luka tries to play for the whistle, rather then finishing the play.
Earlier in the season, I think refs are allowing less contact on him than they do now, and I think he is frustrated that he is not getting calls he normally does.
He needs to recalibrate his mindset and just play his game..

I like this play where Luka gave the ball to THJ and Powell gave Luka a screen for the look at the three off the screen.

Rick taking the ball out of Luka's hands for a bit here.
Holy crap, I wish Maxi would have finished that!
