Spurs fans were clamoring for LaMarcus Aldridge to be no longer on the team because the general consensus was that he hurt the defense too much. Now with LaMarcus gone, the uncomfortable truth emerges that the Spurs defense isn’t that great without him, as Luka Doncic exploited the slow rotations with crisp passes and misdirection as the Mavericks took over in the final few minutes and overwhelmed the young guys in Silver and Black. Kristaps Porzingas dominated the paint in the final moments, negating the defense with timely offensive rebounds for the Ponies. It was another disappointing loss for San Antonio, but they don’t have much time to think it over as they play the Magic in San Antonio on Friday.
