Mavs 113, Celtics 108

For sure, it seemed way early. 

I didn’t view it as a team-wide strategy, myself. I felt like Luka and the other Mavericks on the floor were just confused and a little apprehensive about what Boston was doing, defensively. It was as if Luka wasn’t sure when the double was coming, or from where, and didn’t want to do the wrong thing. I think he tends to have a little more confidence than he should in his ability to dribble out of traps, and his teammates aren’t the best at giving him safe passing angles out of them, either.

But, if it was a strategy put in place by the coaches, I think it was a dumb one.

Good points. If this team ever gets any practice time, it seems like they could use a little training/drilling in dealing with double teams. A few of those possessions were truly cringeworthy.
