When you look at the numbers of these last three seasons the Mavs are basically playing at the exact same pace.
Well, I'm happy to know that. But to my eye, something is noticeably different with the offense, even during stretches when it is successful.
Who knows, maybe they're just shading the defense towards Luka's spots more consistently.
Every possession this year seems painful, like creating good shots is really, really difficult for them.
I don't remember ever feeling like that last year. At least, not until the last 3-4 minutes of close games.
