No, they weren’t. It wasn’t looney who killed them, it was they expert level ball movement and spacing that had the entire defense chasing their tails. Looney just happened to be the guy (credit him for being in the right spots, understanding the system, catching, finishing, etc) who got to finish those plays, standing by himself in the paint to catch pass #5…7..9…whatever, long after the Mavs’ defense was so confused they’d completely lost track of him.
If Dwight Powell had been in his shoes, people would think the Mavs need a “Dwight Powell stopper” ffs.
AYTON, his slow feet, low motor and (gonna say it) inability to think the game on that level would not have saved the Mavs in that series.
