Runs happen. Beasley is a good player. They countered the run and moved on. Some nights that is all you can do and is good enough. The Lakers nearly lost to the Pistons at home after getting blown out by them on the road. It happens.
The more I watch the Mavs, the more I feel we need another PG. Luka is getting tired late in games and he spends more time aimlessly dribbling. I am not sure anymore that just giving Luka a free reign is the best of ideas. We certainly did not put Russ on a pedestal because he averaged a triple double. Numbers by itself is not the be all end all when you have the ball in your hand so much. Plus LeBron and maybe Kobe are the only guys that approach has worked with and both could play very good defense too when needed. I think Luka becomes a better player with a more structured approach. Is he ready for that? Are the coaches ready to confront him if he objects? IMO someone like Dragic would be a great choice. Has Luka’s respect and the guy can still play.
