Not really, as JJ said, Mavs just need a rim protector to stop those easy layups. If Reggie Bullock would have just made a few 3s and stayed as defensive as he was, Mavs could have one that game. But when you shoot 0% and are in the game virtually the entire time, that really hurts the mavs chances.

This series shows us the Mavs aren't just a 1st/2nd round exit team with Luka anymore. But it does show that they're not ready to be champions yet. They're time will come but just not this year. And the road to a championship through the West will onlt get harder next year with the Clippers being healthy, the Nuggets being healthy, the Warriors potentially getting Wiseman back, Memphis on the rise, Zion coming back with Ingram and Mccollum, Anthony Edwards evolving, etc.

The bar will always be set higher for him when compared to the other point guards in the league today.

I think Luka's game definitely has room to grow in terms of exploiting the attention he gets to dish out assists. He doesn't need to stubbornly attempt to score almost every time he gets the ball. Need more team ball to win and less jacking up 3s. They managed to get to WCF as a team, but it's coming apart. I think it's a cop out to always say that the star "needs more help" - maybe the team needs to improve and the star needs to work on bringing out the best in his teammates

The Morantless Grizzlies were the best challenge of any team in the West. Without Morant they moved the ball well, played stellar D and were physical. The Mavs play half court ISO ball and don't rebound as well or play nearly good enough D to stop the Warriors. Even if the Mavs were going to steal a game because they shot well, beating the Warriors for 4 games was a long shot.

Those saying Dallas shouldn’t be here… have you watched this season and specially the playoffs? DALLAS IS NOT PLAYING BAD BASKETBALL, they’ve actually been playing pretty well, Golden State is just significantly superior. That’s it. Whenever you have a guy averaging almost 35 (Luka) another one 22 (Brunson) another one 16 (Dinwiddie) and two other players over 10 pts a game (or close to 10) you’re playing good basketball. The only truly bad game they had was last night.

Honestly I ain't even mad about losing against *the warriors in the WCF* since this will only help Luka (who's 23yr old) understand what it takes to win it all and I also like the outcome bc it shows Mavericks are finally in the right direction in terms of winning! This series also showed if they had 2-3 more quality players, not even a co star but quality players the Mavs could've honestly made a run for the title this year! It's frustrating how close they were but also relieving knowing they're close to being true contenders! All I gotta say is gg to warriors players, they've shown nothing but the highest standards of winning basketball.

I mean at the end of the day we really need to give credit to KERR his coaching pedigree and how hes gotten SOLID production from his role players/bench all season dating to pre-season or last season...HE gets his guys to play like starters big mins etc play like its their last game. He commands it from them its only something ive really seen out of ty-lue coaching his broken down clippers roster this season getting them to fight back in games below 20+. The second the starters come out THE NEXT MAN up steps up with equal mental and physical engagement to the game as if it were the last min of the game....all game. At the end of the day as great a player/coach kidd is currently KERR is on a completely different level even starting looney with the recommendation of dray/the starters on GSW...and getting insane production/effort starting looney vs memphis etc...these are HUGE aspects that player personal aside....kerr just brings to the table period...i saw this day 1 pre-season vs my lakers....this whole pedigree/each player on the roster playing up to a HIGHER standard set by kerr/champions on the GSW roster that the newer/younger players played RIGHT UP to. How "apparent" this aspect has GROWN over the last few weeks is largely sad or a sad depiction to how kerrs coaching and the overalls of the GSW roster/bench have been covered in the more or less past 1-2 seasons. Kerr ty lue, spol are pretty much on the top of the echelon of current/active coaches. Given their history/rosters have proven as much in the last 5 years.

So the Mavs benefited from a team that was under collapse.

The Mavs also have to understand that there is a ceiling to how far you can get with your game plan built around one superstar (i.e. Luka). Once you neutralize the one superstar with an effective guard or doubles, the game plan collapses. The Warriors are so lethal because even if you trap Steph, they have so much depth (e.g., Thompson, Poole) that can also score.

Yep. Mavs fan here. This series was gonna come down to the supporting casts for each team - Poole, Wiggins and Looney for Warriors; Kleber, Finney-Smith, Bullock for the Mavs. Kleber has been the biggest disappointment on the offensive end. I can only recall one made three and very few offensive rebounds. Last night the Mavs showed flashes of ball movement and making open shots, but then they would have trips where it was the Doncic dribble-and-shoot show or everyone touches the ball and the supporting cast misses the shot. That's just not feasible playoff basketball. That five-on-the-three-line spread offense needs guys who can shoot AND slash.

Last night when Luka was guarding on the perimeter they started sending a guy to double whoever Luka was guarding which automatically compromises your defense. So as a teammate think about having to babysit on defense then on offense have to literally stand and HOPE he passes you the ball after he's dribbled for 21 seconds of the 24 second shot clock.

You know who’d be *perfect* for Dallas? Jaren Jackson Jr. can shoot the lights out so he wouldn’t hurt their offense and can enable them to play 5 out AND he’s arguably the best rim protector in the league. He’s an inside presence on offense as well bc he is a low post offense machine as well. But Memphis would never give him up

The main problem with the Mavs is Luka. He's to ball-dominant. The game he scored about 20 but also had a bunch of assist and got his teammates going, those are the games that they won. Not the game when he's running 24 seconds off the shot clock and going for 40 a night.

Dude. He's against GSW, a team with not only championship pedigree, and the best shooter God ever created, but a team who knows HOW to break down a series game by game. There is no shame in losing to GSW. Luka isn't ball dominant, he just doesn't have a good supporting Cast. This brother cannot be the only one dropping points and expect Ws against these teams with this level of talent. But can you blame him? He has NO HELP

Every game he scored 40 or more he was the best shooter on the team, look at game 3. Bullock and Kleber went 0-15, you can only see so many open three's brick before you go and do the job yourself.

@@bjr0467 Stop the cap. Powell is straight up trash. He can’t shoot, can’t rebound, can’t defend the rim or the paint. He can only occasionally catch lobs. Looney isn’t great but he very solid. He can atleast grab boards and be solid defending the rim and can catch lobs. Kleba can’t do anything besides shoot and if he can’t make a basket he is useless.

Mavs had 3 players over 20. Dallas Mavs are a really good team and would've beat anyone else but the Warriors are just that good. Their movement without the ball and shooters, Draymond playmaking, bench contributes big and they missing alot of good role players and Wiseman. This team will be scary for years.

@@followthebrickroad6518 Brunson is too inconsistent to be a second star, same with Dinwiddie. They could give you 10 or they can give you 30. It doesn't matter anyway just look at game 3, Reggie Bullock and Kleber were 0-15, had they made even 4 shots between them it would have been a completely different game.

@@randomuruk7230 Brunson has been consistent all playoffs long. The problem isn’t a star. Are you forgetting Bullock and Brunson exploded game 2 and they STILL lost ? Dallas got this far because of their defense. Yes Luka , but their elite defense and ability to shut down star players caused them to beat phoenix and Utah. They didn’t have the offensive help to beat either of those teams that series either but won.

We know the Mavs need a big man to help their rebounding but that’s not gonna solve all of their problems immediately. Their supporting cast needs to focus this off-season on getting better in all aspects. Look at guys like Andrew Wiggins and Marcus Smart. Those dudes really focused on improving weak points in their game to help their teams. The Mavs have a lot of skill on their team, they’ve gotta improve their defense and rebounding and that includes Doncic too if they want to get back to the WCF next year.
