Am I missing someone that is maybe getting shorted by Luka's high usage and dominance?
Just an observation that heliocentric offenses don't tend to hold up well in the playoffs in the modern NBA. Probably not even relevant to the Mavs this season, as they aren't likely to go far enough that it will matter before they get a chance to reset next season.
It will be something to keep an eye on when the Mavs play the better teams as the season progresses. If they're game-planning to keep the ball out of Luka's hands in a playoff-style fashion, can the Mavs counter?
Not saying they can't. I hope they do. But, I think it's a legitimate issue.
