Considering the stakes, it’s inexplicable how close that was. I don’t think a Luka, KP, THJ lineup is going to work defensively, and I hope the Mavs move away from it for the playoffs.
I agree, and it’s hard to believe how close that game was in a situation where we needed the win. However, this team, and especially its leader, is still very young. I think the consistency will improve with time. Fortunately in the playoffs we won’t play any subpar opponents!
As far as the 3’s go, I’m still game with us jacking them up at a high rate. But it’s completely frustrating to watch when A) a big gives up an uncontested layup to pass out for a 3 or B) we continue to heave up shots during an in-game slump instead of going to the basket for easier opps.
