He’s explains it situationally. You’re in the lead and your initiating double coverage almost half-court, and when you do the rotations aren’t done right. They need to get stronger mentally and not overestimate Luka. Can he make 30-foot bombs? Yes, but not every time. Make Dallas shoot them selves in the game with the long threes, not uncontested threes or layups.

[@Dnero518]

He's done a few before but honestly Chucks not good on the sideline. He analyzes the exact same way he does here in the studio and if sometimes Shaq and them think he talks too long or takes forever to get a thought out in studio imagine how much worse it is during live game action.

Shaq and Kenny are right. Even though I wouldn't have doubled luka 11 has to rotate, the guy on the close block has to rotate to the corner and the man on the far block rotates to the pass to the rim. You have to make sure you rotate fast especially when it's the yame winning shot

[@JohnnytNatural]

Defense is not easy for some people, even LeBron is bad at it

[@user-dh7dj3yw1b]

That’s true but Chuck is right too they shouldn’t have even doubled Luka at that point. He is really far from the three point line and he is going towards the corner. Unless that’s Curry or Lillard that should be a one on one until he attacks downhill.

[@joesutherland9354]

@@user-dh7dj3yw1b Well you don’t watch Luka play because wings are his most lethal 3pt shot and he easily has the range to make those shots matter of fact earlier in the game he made 2 deep 3’s from both sides of the wings.

[@matthewantonucci2585]

Someone should show Charles the clip of Luka sinking a 3 from 5 feet behind the 3 point line in the 1st quarter. Then maybe he'll understand why they're doubling him out there.

[@FloydWhoElseTV]

Word. Like you can tell he sleeps during games until they say its time to go back on the air. LUKA RANGE IS UNLIMITED AND PLUS HE LOVES THE 3's from the elbow, which i think is the reason ehy they doubled him there because they thought he was getting ready to size up dribble before rising up.

"Luka is not a danger way out there." Ummm...have you watched any Mavericks games, Chuck?

[@kamotetops1572]

4:53 At this moment is where the defense made the MISTAKE. Either Murray or Gordon should have STAYED on the perimeter. 4:56 At this point, Murray chose to follow Hardaway in the paint instead of float at the passing lane of the corner; Jokic can handle the paint. 5:00 No matter what you choose at this point is TROUBLE; as both your BIG man is on the perimeter. 5:02 If Jokic did NOT show on the screen; it's an EASY drive for Luka as Gordon would be on his hips. If Luka drives, Wood is on the DUNKER spot and Hardaway is on the corner 3.(A much EASIER shot than center 3) 5:03 If Brown rotated in a timely manner;(and Pope) the ball would just swing from the wing 3 TO THE PAINT. (Jokic and Gordon is at the perimeter) Double team or not in 5:02. Nuggets defense is in TROUBLE at that point. Because of the MISTAKE in 4:53.

[@cbrown940]

Great bucket by Finney-Smith

[@blackpow3r]

Shaq and Kenny were right on the last play analysis. You double Luka because you'll live with anyone else taking the last shot other than the best player. Now, if you're going to double him, number 11 has to commit to the full rotation over to Finney-Smith and force him to make the extra pass to Dinwiddie, and then number 5 has to rotate to him to force the corner extra pass to Wood with about 2 seconds on the shot clock and have the center make a 20 footer to beat you.

[@joesutherland9354]

Everything you said would be accurate for any team besides this Mavs team. You simply just gave the best 3pt shooter on the Mavs the easiest 3 to shoot in the NBA which he’s 40% from 3 on the year and 46% on corner 3’s. Meanwhile DFS is shooting 34% from 3. It would’ve ended the same exact way that’s why when other guys on the Mavs start hitting there shots it’s really hard to guard them because Luka commands so much attention and there shooters are extremely streaky perfect example is Hardaway.

[@blackpow3r]

@@joesutherland9354 You have a valid point. However, I'm always forcing the issue as much as possible and make Wood take a rushed shot because the shot clock was winding down, not a wing 3 pt shooter. In both cases doubling Luka was still the right decision to get the ball out of his hands so Chuck was bugging lol.

[@joesutherland9354]

@@blackpow3r Wood was sitting on Lukas left and in the corner where they had a 3 vs 2 ( defenders ) its the easiest 3. I would’ve done the exact same thing as Denver did and just deal with DoeDoe making a straight on catch and shoot 3 with time running down. To DoeDoe’s left was Dinwiddie and he has no issue hitting that easy shot so they were dammed if they do and dammed if they don’t. It goes to show how valuable Luka is that you can try and get him off the ball but a nice behind the back pass can end the game ya gotta pick your poison.
