Especially PnR defense. I mean, an average center like Zubac went for 20 with mostly dunks, because of the bad PnR defense.
On the other side, Clippers can just put too much pressure on Luka. Unless role players will have a perfect shooting night, it will be like today. And please mind Clippers were missing two very important players and Williams still has greasy hands from those chicken wings.
Luka and KP had good games, the rest were average or bad. Burke needed 15 shots for his 11 points. Wright is just lost. You already said enough about THJ. He was just abused today on defense. The irony - Wright and Jackson were the only two players with a positive +-
Same as always. No help defense. No pre rotations from the weak side defender. One screen is enough to get a layup or wide open shot every single time.
Mavs might want to study the Clippers defense. They are starting in man defense but switch to a ball orientated zone when an opposing player gets in the paint. They do not care about space for opposing shooters. Simply pressure the ball and close the passing lanes.
Mavs on the other hand are doing a great job of guarding the potential 3-point shot in the opposite corner. Most of the time the defender isn´t even watching the ball. Meanwhile the opponent is scoring easy layups at the rim.
