I don't know why you would think Luka is going to get better defensively as the season goes on. He obviously didn't get in better shape for this season. People are just blowing by him. and he's literally hust standing around with his arms down. Oh,....and complaining.

Klay didn't replace Jones Jr, he replaced Tim Hardaway Jr... And he's a better defender than Hardaway. When Mavs had Hardaway out there, he was a defensive liability, when Mavs have Klay out there, he is less of a liability. Naji and Grimes are what was supposed to at least kinda fill the void left by DJJ but they haven't

If the rumors are true then apparently Luka has been dealing with some kind of hip or groin injuey for a while going back to the playoffs and its been nagging him. Still not really an excuse. If you can play and shoot 40 times on offense, you can at least be IN THE PLAY on defense and he's just not even trying half the time.

PJ and Naji, what are you talking about? 😂 Thru the first 7 games of the season, the Mavs were 3rd in defense. They are 13th right now. This is how you can quickly tell when someone doesn't know what they are talking about and watching espn or something. The Mavs are struggling on offense. They just lost 4 consecutive games all by one possession and all while shooting over 50%, first team in NBA history to ever have that happen. It's a new set of guys, a new offense scheme and the biggest problem besides Luka playing really bad, nobody can 3s except Klay and Kyrie.

Naji cannot hit a 3 but he is shooting around 60% from 2 in the last four games or so and he averages almost 3 assists per game. It would be great if Naji will figure it out and at least be an average 3pt shooter, but Naji is one of the most impactful mavs players in the recent stretch. The bigger issue for me was that Grimes was underused until like 2 games ago. He is great shooter and defender, he should see more minutes.

Obviously his 3 point % will go up, but here are his numbers in the last 5 games... 28.4 mins per game, 12.4 PPG, shooting about 55% from the floor, 4 rebounds per game, 1.6 assists per game, 1.4 steals per game, and only 2 turnovers per game. He drives to the rim with force/success thereby putting great pressure on the defense. For you to say that he's a liability on offense is downright criminal... and he is an excellent defender.

Luka fans are the most annoying of all basketball fans if Harden, Trae,or LeBron played lazily during the last few seconds of a close game you'd never hear the end of it.

Watching these clips and hearing you say they're 3-5 because of their schedule just doesn't match at all. They're just horrible defensively which is why they're so bad right now. Kyrie is the only positive out there, but Luka is a cone and Klay is not the defender he used to be. The amount of blow by's... damn. You can't be letting Colin Sexton blow by you if you're Luka.
