Olympics and FIBA summer

I mean, I don't disagree with some of your concerns, but it's not like he was over there playing NBA teams.

My point (maybe better articulated was this):

I think Luka just faced a LARGER talent discrepancy (his teammates vs the opponents) than he would in the NBA and fared better. Lithuania had just won 17 of 18 in that competition and had much more talent than Luka's squad. 

Or another way: Luka is so talented by himself that maybe 2nd round exit from the playoffs is the FLOOR (if he is healthy) and the Mavs have just had two first round exits. Why? 

Could his NBA roster the last two years been THAT bad? Was the coaching much worse than we thought? Was there toxic chemistry that made the "sum" far worse than the "parts"?
