2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[dynamicalVoid]

Haven't seen enough of KP+Luka this year for me to draw anything from. So far I've liked what KP has done overall. I still think the two can work if KP just dove to the basket off of rolls. 

There's a point to the talent level making it easier for Luka to adapt than the role players, but if the talent of the role players are an obstacle then they should be replaced anyways.

There's a lot to like so far the last 3 weeks with what the Mavs have been doing. I don't think Luka's style runs against what the Mavs have been doing as a whole. The team looks revitalized with better defense and are hitting their shots more two things that are independent of Luka's style. The extra ball movement is a plus and  I don't think Luka diminishes that when he's out there anyways given the quality of looks he generates.

Pointless stepback 3s don't take the life out of the teams energy?  Or are you going to say they are late shot clock attempts?  Because I'm gonna ask why he dribbled for 14 seconds until the clock was out?

Over dribbling, taking bad shots and bad defense are morale killers, imo. 

I think there is a luka/team energy issue with Lukas offensive play style.   I think guys are more dialed in and engaged if they are incorporated in the offense.  And play harder on defense when they get touches on offense.

Lukas current style of play is like a 1000hp drag car....ideal for racing(playoffs) but not ideal for everyday driving(reg season)

To suggest guys should be moved because of lukas style is not a fair stance.  I don't care if they are paid to win, nit to have fun.  I'll give you that Luka doesn't turn the ball over and gets guys open looks and that should equal winning.  But do guys get bored and check out because of it?

Over dribbling, bad step back threes when he could pass and get other guys involved and bad defense are energy killers
