Basketball is about feelings: Now Luka Dončić, the showman, has to show up against bad teams too

Related Topics: Luka Doncic

It’s Tuesday night, it’s raining and the Mavericks are playing a mediocre team without their best players.

A winning team, like we’ve seen the Mavericks and especially Luka Donu010diu0107 recently, would shut that team down and win comfortably in three quarters, letting their star sit out the fourth.

But Luka Donu010diu0107 and these Mavericks have rarely lived up to that this season. And if Luka Donu010diu0107, leader of this team, doesn’t show up with the right attitude, the rest of the team usually follows suit.

There were the games this fall, like the Mavericks’ loss to Oklahoma City where they blew a 16-point lead and lost in overtime.
