THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[LifeAquatic]

With the ball in Luka's hands, the Mavs have the number 1 offensive rating in the league. I get people simply like a faster paced offense, as it's more exciting to watch, but the slow Luka driven offense is literally and statistically more effective than an offense driven by any other player in the league. But with Kyrie around, we will 100% get to see that more frequently. Neither Green or Hardy have the chops or the resume to be trusted with that much when Luka or Kyrie are on the floor.

Luka is great. His offense is great. Love him. But his sky high usage also wears him down and depresses output and energy from other guys. Running more is possible with him, he's done it with Slovenia. They can do both. Get other people involved by running more and getting the energy up and let Luka do his thing when they need it, to close out halves and games or when they just need points. That's what Jordan and Kobe used to do, get everyone else going and then take over when you have to do it.
