But matchup, I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you on putting Kat or Naz Reid on Luka. Doncic will just take advantage of that "mismatch" all night, taking outside shots like he did against Gobert, or going inside to bait for a foul.
Wolves are doing good, until that switch and Luka with his trade mark step back 3, and I think that is hard to guard as if you try to get close, he could illicit a foul on you or just pass and then get the ball back. Turnovers though will be the key for the Wolves to win in next game. They have to limit their turnovers and not just give up easy points inside.
Totally agreed, those height advantage is only working for players that doesn’t have any accurate perimeter shots like Nuggets during their match against their Wolves that’s why Wolves looks like overwhelming strong against Nuggets because they can’t forced the paint points.
Now with Dallas line-up which Luca is a great outside shooter, any big man guard from Wolves is useless since he can always use screen, dribble or fadeaway shots just to avoid blocks from this slow big man. The way to defend Luca is to provide a defender that can match his speed or put him on double team which is not a good choice for Wolves because they have slow line-up while Dallas has a lot of shooters aside from Luca that can be another threat.
The WCF shows that having a big line-up can dominate basketball. 3 points accuracy and speed is still the best strategy which is being popularized by Warriors before.
