But come games 4, 5, 6, 7 of a playoff series, the D knows the whole playbook. Fancy offensive plays no longer work. Iso and p&r = the bread and butter. Kidd seems to be running his playoff offense all year long. That’s not dumb.
I agree with you. Luka iso is one of the most efficient plays in the NBA and it’s the most efficient for the Mavs. People want Carlisle’s offense but that’s clearly not what Luka wants. The crazy thing is, the Mavs only run iso 20% of the time and several analytics guys argue that they should run it more often, yet most fans think they run it 90% of the time.
Come playoff time it will be even more effective and hopefully just as efficient.
