After the two lob plays to Powell the Bulls adjusted and started to collapse on every single Luka pick and roll. Mavs are struggling because they cannot punish them for collapsing. Can blame Luka because he missed some floaters. Also have to talk about bad spacing and role players missing open looks.
I don't disagree with those complexities, but at the end of the day I don't want a 31% three point shooter taking 8 threes a game...or in this case 3 threes in the first 4 minutes. Again I LIKE the catch and shoot three in the corner. But otherwise, force the defense so that you get a different shot than a contested Luka step back three. I am personally just done with that shot, except on rare occasions.
