    They can’t hide Luka on D anymore because now they also have Kyrie on the court. Yet I keep hearing it was a great trade 😂

      Yes because before the trade we had defensive savants such as Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie in that starting guard spot. What a downgrade.

      Good point.

      He needs a team around him like Harden had going up against the Warriors. No room for another bad defender. I still wouldn’t mind seeing Kyrie traded to a contender if we can get some assets for him. Mavs need a long term approach.

      Can’t hide him with no rim protector. This team needs a 19 year old rookie to even win games, it’s insane how poor our centre position is

              blocks dont happen nearly as much as people think lol. the difference between Dallas and the #1 team in blocks is like 2.5 blocks

                -_- are you really taking it literally blocks to be the important matter here.

                It means dallas has no interior defense. The mere presence of a quality shot blocker/ rim protector will do wonders for Dallas. The inexistence of which empowers opponents to drive at will.

                  you’re the one who brought up blocks lol

                  them having no interior defense gives even more reason to not play up on Westbrook. did you think this through?

      Better than pressing up I guess, trying to avoid being blown by and giving up any jumper

      It’s Westbrook. He’s not exactly going to pull up for a mid-range shot.

    Luka a beefy traffic cone on defense. Real loud when Mavs beat Clippers. Real quiet when Clips beat Mavs. Funny

    I love Russ. He still has the fire.

    He might be lacking some skills as he ages, but the fire never dies.

    Legit what the hell is this defense. I get sagging off Russ to dare him to shoot, but Luka isn’t putting a body on him until he’s at the restricted circle.

    Why did the Mavs coach not put a different defender on Westbrook? Someone with quicker feet who can stay in front of him a little better. Seems like that would be a easy solution.
