Maybe you're right.
You can be an elite trash-talker and end up with a broken leg. Russell Westbrook says hi.
Now that the Mavs are in the driver's seat, I think Luka would be well-advised to turn back the trash talk from 100 to 90. Or more, depending on how the game is going. But if he can't play excellently without trash-talking, then it's his risk to take.
