We wouldn't have near as many close games if Luka didn't take step back 3 after step back 3 to try to "finish" opponents. If he would just drive the ball when we get up big, they wouldn't rally all the time.

Win 2 of the next 4 or 5 and we will still be within a 7-3 set of back to a 60% pace after 60 games. That would be a 49 win pace. Right now we are about 47 win pace. We really could use at least 2 wins in the next 5.

Quote:For Slovenian fans who support Doncic's Mavs but want to see him win a championship, what does the superstar see the team lacking to reach the level necessary to win it all?

Doncic first pointed out that injuries should not be overlooked. Before more information was available about Kyrie Irving spraining his thumb, Doncic highlighted how the team was getting healthy and overcome a major problem of various important players being sidelined, including the team's "Big 3," which he mentioned consisting of him, Irving, and Dereck Lively II.

"I'm not saying people aren't taking into account all of our injury problems this season, but maybe not enough of them,” Doncic told Ekipa24 in an answer translated from Slovenian to English. "It was a serious injury crisis; there was always someone missing, and there was always someone important missing. In my opinion, we are even closer to being in perfect shape and at least approximately healthy now. Especially our 'Big 3,' as we would say here — we have played very little together in matches, even less in training. We still have to get used to it, even though we are already in the second half of the regular season."

Mavs are 11-7 with Luka/Kyrie/Lively playing. Thats a 56 win pace!
