Mavs have concentrated their effort on keeping team first players with chemistry. In addition keeping players that fit playing with Luka. Results are obvious, the team is in focus. This is the thing that will keep Luka at the Mavs until he retires. Brunson and Dinwiddie are must keep players as well, the fit with Luka is clear.
Everyone plays well, when the role is clearly defined and everyone happy with.
KP was playing out of the team system, and was continuously hard to maintain happy. The team chemistry has taken a boost now with him gone. Keep an eye on THJ, I've noticed many segments in games previous to his injury where he also played outside of the boundaries of team basketball and teammates visibly being frustrated. On other hand THJ is likeable guy it seems, but his play however, at times, is not. The system always works best when everyone fits in and makes other better.
