But the Mavs weren't even trying to defend Giannis at all, so he was indeed going to shoot 100% like that because he was just running down and dunking it. My thought was that if you are just going to let him do that, why not make him make FTs? I'm probably wrong, but I just couldn't get why they kept letting him do that.(12-16-2019, 10:49 PM)mtrot Wrote: If you let him run the court, it's a 100% chance he get two points.
This isn't true. He doesn't shoot 100%. You just play defense the way you did the rest of the game instead of coasting. If you foul every time you stop the clock. No one would do that. The problem is that the Mavs thought the game was over. The non-Luka lineups are going to have to learn how to close games like the Luka lineups had to learn the same thing about 20 games ago.
