TAKE DAT WIT YOU 10/22

Improved spacing is not "soft." It's smart. The point of the offense wasn't for Luka to do everything, it was for the guy through whom the offense was running to have space to operate. Luka was just the only one who do could get things done to a winning effect (although that same "soft" system sure had Brunson looking like a world beater at times, too). If you want to give KP post and extended free throw line touches, fine. I wouldn't go that way, but fine. Just for the love of God, get everyone out of his way so he has a chance, yeah?

This. If you want to post up KP. Try it. But don´t park Powell in the dunkers spot and another player in the short side corner. Need 4-out spacing as the base for those kind of plays. And that doesn´t meant that players aren´t allowed to move. A well timed cut is a great option. But the cut itself needs the spacing even more than KPs post up attempt. Right now the Mavs are just clogging the paint. KP in the post. Powell in the dunkers spot. DFS cutting. That´s never going to work.
