But Mavs surrounded him with THJ and KP, so that plan was already thrown down the trash. So I don't think you can hope having any kind of decent defense with them. They will be always exposed in playoffs, even if KP returns as best version of himself.
I don't buy this. Luka, THJ and KP should all he able to play defense to some extent. If KP can move again, he should even be able to be pretty good. But even if all three are sub par, that still doesn't mean you give up in that end of the floor.
