Mavs need a veteran point guard who can deal with the bounce back of Lukas usage. Preferably a vet

This has to be talked about when it comes to mvp talks. If your scoring 40 but giving up 30 you aint no mvp.

Half of those aren’t that bad. Plus he has the ball way too much on offense. It’s ok if he doesn’t always has it. In fact it’s probably better if he wasn’t so ball dominant.

I mean these look the defensive possessions of an average defensive player? It’s not the horrible incapable plays people have been making out he does.
You expect Luka to carry 50% of his team’s offense AND be a lockdown man on man defender?
There’s a reason why there’s really only 8 or 9 true two way stars in the league at any given time.

He really be Prime Harden

That’s not mvp level defense that’s for sure. Idc how many points you drop

Warriors put him in non stop pick n rolls in the WCF. It’s why they were to to win the series with relative ease.

I’m really not seeing anything egregious here.
Like this is fine defense…

If Harden gets a pass then Luka should. Not every white dude is going to be a hustle guy on defense lol.

Luka got Bojan looking like Luka out there!
atlepi
He moves like an old man

That’s a lot of plays where he’s just asleep as the secondary defender Otto porter style I mean I get he does a lot on offense but that shouldn’t happen

Certainly not great defense, but it’s not as bad as some of these comments suggest. I think in terms of net value, this level of defense with his offensive skill is still very much in the green, and the issue is more his teammates than him. I think this new narrative that the Mavs issues are mainly Doncic’s defense are just pure hater-ade and dumb
Throwback to the Suns doing the same thing to him. Luka can be a huge liability on defense sometimes

regardless of anything else you might think about this post, there is not other conclusion to make other than luka is a bad defender. there shouldn’t be any arguments to the contrary.

This post is dumb. It’s a highlight real of an amazing NBA player playing average perimeter defense and some dudes hitting threes. Who fucking cares?
musicalpants999
How about the three steals?

the much improved luka defense right here. some are actually decent close outs…

Most of these aren’t even bad defense … just dudes making a contested shot.

Guy who made this thought he really had one. Then the comments are saying that’s it’s not half bad. Lol. Get fucked OP

Damn, Luka got mfs furiously making bad defense compilations in the middle of the night.
He’s officially arrived.

This thread shows people lie for those they like talking bout that aint bad defense. Luka out there looking like a matador

I would call him the average defender in this game among his peer in the Mavs.
Yes, the Pistons shot well.
But the energy of the Mavs’ defense is just … pathetic.

What’s the point of this post ? I can take a game highlight where curry was trash in defence. All this started because some warriors fan can’t take an L from the fact that Luka outplayed curry last game and locked him down. Luka isn’t a good defender like giannis but he is definitely average this game.

Most attempted blocks in a game without getting a block.
