Curry is very limited defensively, especially because he is small and not very strong. GSW put correct team and system around him.
Besides - Luka is far from the only one to be blamed for Mavs defense. He is not helping, true. But it is not like the opponents are attacking Luka. They absolutely don't need to. Their prime player runs a play and scores or creates on most of possessions. No matter who is guarding him. In the game against Indy, it was mostly Haliburton/Turner against Bullock/Powell. Against Lakers it was LeBron and AD one on one against smaller and weaker Mavs (Timmy and Powell mostly).
