PLAYOFF ROUND 2 GAME 2: DAL (0-2) vs. PHX (2-0)| 109-129 loss

[cow]

Luka gets pass for being the only one able to create anything. But yes I agree his defense was horrid. All night actually. Routinely closed out poorly on Crowder and then got torched by CP3.

Have to wonder if that bruised thigh was bothering him.

He and the Mavs need to reevaluate the offense this offseason.  He's one of the most gifted drivers of the basketball the league has ever seen but pounding the rock that much takes a toll on your body.  Even LeBron, who's a much better conditioned athlete, can't do that for all of his minutes on the floor.  Defense takes effort too, so it makes sense why the Suns have targeted him the 4th.  It's just too much responsibility and the faults in his conditioning start to show up.

It also goes back to depth, we can't fix that in an offseason.
