TAKE DAT WIT YOU 12/30

There is 2 main points being discussed lately...ball movement is better without Luka but our clutch play has been horrific.. which one of them is the bigger problem I have no clue yet for an opinion but would love to hear from others on this ..

Also thanks once again ML ..

I actually think the statistics say that there is MORE ball movement without Luka, not that there is BETTER ball movement without Luka. I don't think this is anything new. Without Luka out there to create, the players have to rely more on passing to create good shots. However, the stats reflect that the shot quality generated by those passes is generally worse than the shots created for other important players when Luka is on the floor. 

I don't think the factual predicate that the ball moves more with Luka off the court is a good or bad thing in and of itself. It's more a matter of how the team generates shots with a top creator on the court and without. It seems that the Mavs are operating under the assumption that the best shots when Luka is on the court are created at least partly by Luka, and the best shots when he is off are created by ball movement. Generally speaking, of course.
