DFS and Kleber have zero creation. They are catch and shoot guys. When KP is playing, Luka is giving him ball all the time, when he is posting up. THJ and JRich get the ball to create. The origin of the problem is that offense is totally static. No matter who is "pounding the ball". This is not on Luka, it is the system. Looks like Mavs believe this is good offense. And to be honest, it was last season and also this season, those couple of games everyone was available. Utah offense is basically the same. Guy running a PnR and exploit mismatches or four on three situations when defense helps. Difference is that Utah shooters are great and Gobert actually is good at rolling this season. None of the Mavs is.
