GAME 42: DAL (23-19) @ MEM (30-15) | 112-85 win

[Mavs2021]

I’m not trying to contradict this, but I think the issue is that he’s simply not playing well in general right now.

That´s true. But when you don´t play well, what you do? You got to your trusted friend, the siganture move. That´s what superstar do. That´s why they are superstars. They have that move that nobody can stop.

If you subscribe to fat and slow, even that wouldn´t even be much of a problem, if they could decoy Luka as a spot up shooter, but he can´t shoot reliably. Dirk could be fat and 50 and teams would still respect him as an open spot up shooter. Luka is like a nobody off ball.

I feel ike teams will collapse the paint on Luka as the ball handler, and a combination of his bad shape, more lenient rules and better scouting really reduces his impact on the game this season.

In a weird way I feel like I´m watching his rookie season on a three year delay.

And here is the big shitty big starting 5 again. Probably be down 15 quickly.
