Mavs’ Luka Doncic Speaks After Loss vs. Celtics: Jan. 22, 2024

Said he felt like you guys got frustrated by offish Focus uh what are your thoughts on that that’s what he said do you feel like that’s uh that’s accurate um I don’t know I think I I play that I miss a lot of layups but you know they have amazing team

They’re number one in the NBA they have a great defense they have two guys that can really play basketball really well and all around other guys you know they can really play too so they have an amazing team I mean that’s why they’re number one was there

Anything that that went into your bad unusual performance tonight any factors I know I just think I missed a lot of layups I was one possession I missed three in a row wide open so you know I think it wasn’t my night today how how difficult are they to attack just

Because they got you you know you mention they got Tatum Brown White’s in the lead Defender holidays in the leite defender they just it’s like every time you switch it never seems to get any easier yeah I mean it’s not easy at all you know that’s why I think they’re

Number two or three in the NBA I mean it’s tough and that’s what they’re number one in the NBA and they’re very good in defense and obviously they’re very good in offense so it’s very tough to attack them else they they they were attacking you know Jason talked about how they

Were really singling you out uh you know attacking you on on offense and and you know what what did you see from you know that strategy and was was it more than usual and and what does that do for you in your overall performance when you’re having to engage that much

I mean I I mean Jay jayen Brown will attacked me well I saw that video I can’t lie that was really nice I was in a four play he didn’t make it but he made it so it’s a whole highlight uh but you know I try to do my

Best I think my defense um I took a really big step this year so um I I trying too Pride I think jayen was really good attacking me know you even called for the replay on that he thought there there was a push off oh no no no that was a really nice

Move when you you guys were down I think seven or eight and uh you got hacked and the ball flew out and it went in and did you kind of feel at that point all right something finally went our way is that to change things around I was like this

Is the layup I’m going to make I was like damn that’s fine man um I did thing I did thing you know and we make two three threes there and we right back in the game BR it just didn’t happen thank you L appreciate guys
