RULE #1: As Luka goes, so goes the team.
RULE #2: The team must manage when Luka rests.
Game 3: JB & JR were abominable and lost the game for the Mavs when Luka rested.
Game 4: Luka was bad/hurt and the team never had a chance with subpar play from him.
I truly believe Luka is good enough to carry this team to a series win, he has grown up MASSIVELY in my eyes this series. The Mavs need both a great Luka performance AND the backup guards to not totally fail when he rests. If those two things happen the Mavs will win that game IMO and it really has nothing to do with home/away.
