We just had the best example for a team that is taking away Luka´s playmaking and dares him to score. The Clippers. At this point it is not a suprise when Luka scores 40+ against them. It is a part of the scheme. Luka is making the "right" play when he takes advantage of Zubac but the Mavs offense isn´t getting into any kind of flow.
That´s where I agree with @"Kammrath". The offense looks a lot better when Luka is more of playmaker but other teams know that as well. I wouldn´t be suprised if they start to copy the Clippers approach. It will be interesting to see if the Mavs have a counter and find a way to reduce Luka´s on ball load. Maybe use him as the ball screener for Brunson or Dinwinddie. A little bit like the Cavs two-man game with LeBron/Irving.
