Last postseason, coach Tyronn Lue had the LA Clippers adapt in ways that you seldom see. A year later, what did we learn?
Luka Doncic, his stepback 3s, and the Dallas Mavericks were torching them. They had no answer.
Their centers were being taken out beyond the 3-point line and attacked. When that wasn’t happening, the Mavericks were rotating the ball around the perimeter and going at other perceived mismatches. Not to mention Doncic was taking small guards into the post and bludgeoning them. Something could have been done about it, but no adjustments came.
