That is a huge problem. You had Hardy and Green getting a lot of combined minutes before the ASG and contributing as a duo. Hardy is now stuck with low minutes just because Exum is back. We spend two first on centers but the coach either pulls them out when the other team goes on a small ball run or doesn’t know how the team should play defense when one of them is on like last night.
On top of this all you lost a player who is a legit all star now and got nothing back.
Oh I can definitely point out Luka’s faults and areas that he needs to improve. He has to see how Dirk, Jokic and Steph all won despite being poor defenders. and see why Westbrook and Harden never have. At the same time when the ownership is so lost what is the point? Blaming Luka is like rearranging chairs on the Titanic ‘s deck.
I am very much with you. Each player has ways to improve and no one can say Luka is not improving every season. Listening what he needs to improve. But something is just off. I just can't understand how Mavs collapsed in a couple of weeks. They had that 7 games run looking great. And then just like that they can't stop anyone anymore. Defense against Indy was comicaly bad. For 90 % of the time it was an open shot and when they missed they collected a lot of offensive rebounds. Like everyone is out of position most of the time. I thought body language was fine against Indy, but on court result was a total disaster.
