This is just a bad brand of basketball and that's just offensively. Teams will probably continue defending them like the Clippers did tonight. They will let Luka/Kyrie have as many shots as they want as long as it means not getting anyone else involved. That resulted in only 9 made threes...which is probably close to a season low. Since the Mavs can't rebound and can't defend, that strategy will probably work most games unless Luka is red hot from three.
Mavs' Big Three (Luka/Kyrie/THJ) took 69% of the total shots with 7 assists. Clippers' Big Three (Kawhi/PG/Harden) took only 44% of their total shots with 14 assists.
