But he's making the right plays, plays for his team, and he's still playing defense. His head is still in the game despite his offensive struggles. He's not gonna get 25/28 tonight, but he doesn't have to with this team.

They had Luka single cover him for like 3 mins straight and he had TOs and piss-poor drives. I wouldn't call that "defensive focus"

Bucks fans were calling him Eric Bledsoe by their last season b/c Giannis was eating up all their spacing :lol: :lol: :lol:

I’m not really sure how you can watch their defense and how on point it’s been and describe it the way you just did. They’re putting in so much effort to defend the Mavs.

First lob for Dallas in, Luka has 3 assists and Kyrie may be off his scoring funk already (but stil shooting bad). Good signs for Dallas knowing Tatum and some will start getting those big runs in the second half.
