Analysis: Are Luka Doncic and the Mavericks poised for a playoff breakthrough?
Like Jordan, Doncic has spent his early 20s posting eye-popping stat lines and collecting individual honors like rookie of the year and all-NBA nods. Like Jordan, Doncic has raised his game on the postseason stage, fearlessly battling more experienced and accomplished opponents. But like Jordan’s Bulls, Doncic’s Mavericks haven’t reached the second round in his first three seasons.
“He’s making us talk a lot more and letting us figure it out,” Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith said of Kidd. “He’s asking questions and letting guys speak up. We’ve been holding each other accountable this year. Our team is gelling right now.” “The spacing is different from Washington,” said Dinwiddie, who is averaging 14.5 points in six games since the trade. “Night and day. There’s a lot of spot-up capabilities on this team. We’re taught to stay spaced and that makes pretty big gaps for somebody like me who likes to get into the paint.”
“Attacking the best players is always good,” he said, after scoring 41 points in a win over Golden State on Thursday. “They’ve got to have energy on both ends.”
