Luka Doncic did everything he could. 40-11-3 with 2 steals and a block but Skip Bayless thinks he didn’t play any defense. Recency bias?

Modern media is filled with characters that rely on salacious takes and whimsical opinions. Skip Bayless is one of them. The man thrives on takes that are almost always baseless and utterly ridiculous.
This time his words were aimed at Luka Doncic. The Mavericks superstar did have somewhat of a weird game. He had only four points in the fourth quarter.

What’s more, he was on the receiving end of a rather nasty poster dunk from Andrew Wiggins. The latter got all the praises and Luka is burdened by his own glorious game.
Luka Doncic is Larry Bird on offense, Big Bird on defense
Skip Bayless’ takes sometimes baffles the best of us. He said Luka wasn’t a superstar at one point.

He also thinks Luka does not possess the killer instinct or the clutch gene. We doubt that one. Highly.
While there is a hint of merit to Skip’s take, it is not exactly a problem of defense. The major problem in this series would be the rebounding.
The question remains if the Mavericks can grab enough rebounds the next game and avoid a sweep. All to play for in two days’ time.
