Mavs 108, Clippers 118

(05-29-2021, 07:50 PM)LifeAquatic Wrote: They need more of a flow offense like in Dirk/JKidd days where the ball touches more hands. This is the conundrum with a superstar scoring PG. He can do great things, but when they guy who brings up the ball is also the scorer when he feels he needs to take the game over, the team can become one dimensional. 

Mavs need to move the ball, and it can always get back to Luka later in the shot clock. But, I want to see them make the defense move by swinging the ball from side to side more. Also, I think this would keep KP and the others more engaged. I imagine the Clips game plan was let Luka get his and limit others.

I love Luka, and not trying to criticize when he is playing other worldly shooting the ball, but Rick needs to dial up the flow offense, and Luka needs to trust it and his teammates a bit more.

The Mavs played the first two games this way, and started Game Three with several Mavs getting opportunities. 

I have been thinking a lot about that spectacular three-minute collapse when Luka went out, which ended when the Mavs intentionally fouled to get Luka back in the game. 

Why didn't they ever recover from that? I am wondering if that operated as a giant confidence-killer. After that, their beautiful offense devolved into, "Give it to Luka," or when that wasn't possible, "Call your own number." They looked afraid to run their normal stuff.
