Sorry, I didn't realize you are specific just about a couple of players.

The good thing is, Luka knew his shot selection was bad in both occasions (he raised his hand). When he hits a couple of those, he ends up taking too many. This was not one of his better games. But he's still only 21. In the end, He will be a much better player than this. May be he'll have less flashy stat lines in the future, but will produce better results called "wins". He is already progressing in the right direction.
This part is just wow. Are you a hall of famer to be so patronizing? This really pisses me off. Like everybody was wide open while Doncic was forcing threes. Is it perhaps possible defence did their job and the scorers just wern't open? Not to mention you are wrong with your claim about shifting momentum. Mavs were up 10 when Doncic entered with 7:18. Since then:
- 6:59: Doncic bank shot made
- 6:38: Johnson miss layup
- 6:27: Doncic miss layup
- 6:18: Burke and 1
- 5:41: Doncic miss 3pt
- 5:13: Johnson missed 3pt
- 4:40: Doncic layup (Mavs still up by 9)
- 4:08: Burke missed 3pt
- 3:40: Doncic miss layup
- 2:43: KP miss 3pt
- 2:14: Iwundu miss 3pt
- 1:40: Doncic miss 3pt
- 49: Doncic 2pt shot
- 18: Brunson 3pt shot
First Doncic missed 3 didn't shift the momentum yet, second one came when Spurs were already only 2 behind and Mavs missed several three pointers in a row. Non Doncic guys were 2-7 in this sequence. Doncic was 3-7.
The guys played a great offensive game and I hate it may sound as I am putting them down. Not my intention. But I just can't stand when an anonymus fan is putting down a great offensive performance by Doncic.
