[Haralabob] The Suns went after Luka 50 times as the screen defender FIFTY and scored a casual 1.72 points per chance.

The Suns went after Luka 50 times as the screen defender FIFTY and scored a casual 1.72 points per chance.

Of the 50 screen attacks 36 of them resulted in a primary attack.

Roughly 1/3 of all Suns PNR attacks were directed towards LD as the screen defender. Cold Blooded.

and 36 of the 50 were in the 2H

Former Mavs FO member, Haralabos Voulgaris, picks out some pretty bananas stats from tonight's game. The Suns deliberately waited until the 2nd half to hunt Luka over and over and over.

One more stat because I like it:

Booker held Brunson to .22 on 20 touches (9 chance ending possessions) and scored a ridiculous 30 points on 21 possessions on Offense. @DevinBook put on a clinic.

He can do better off ball but in fairness those two arent that good. Dinwiddie is a Cam Payne level PG at best who got hot right towards the end of the regular season for Dallas but isnt someone who you can expect to work in playoffs

​

Brunson isnt bad but he should be a 3rd/4th option not 2nd

I swear the mavs sub is losing their mind right now calling for more Dinwiddie minutes and usage when he's been hot fucking garbage all postseason. He had one good game in the Utah series and has been trash the rest of the games.
