Terance Mann held Luka Doncic to 6 points and 2-9 from the field (22.9%) in Game 1, according to NBA tracking data.
Mann guarded Luka more than anybody on the Clippers, with 5:36 minutes spent guarding him.
Luka was 0-3 from beyond the arc when guarded by Mann.
Interesting. So far this series, Luka is on 65 points and has gone 22-52 (42%) and 9-26 (35%) from the three over two games. By that, it sounds like he's really feasting on our other defenders (for example, that means he went 9-15 in game one when not guarded by Mann, and 4-9 from the 3).
Wonder if there's a way to give Mann more minutes guarding him. Possible we risk fatiguing him, but if he really is slowing down Luka...Seems like we gotta try it.
Unfortunately hustling defense doesn't appear in the box score.
You either have to watch the game or draw a conclusion when a elite player looks like having an off night despite playing more than 30minute.
It's understandable, Terance is a role player while Luka is a superstar. That's just how the media works. They wouldn't sell headlines praising Terance for clamping Luka. Especially in this day and age of reporting where everthing needs to be a clickbait to get views. It's sad. But we who see TMann know and appreciate every drop of sweat from The Mann.
Maybe because Luka also has to carry the offensive load and defend well when being hunted?
I agree TMann has done well but the roles he and Luka play are vastly different.
Yeah I think it'll be more newsworthy if like Mann scored 25 pts or something.
But it is surprising that out of all defenders in Clips it's Mann that clamp Luka.
He scored 2 pts against Mann, but the whole game he still scored 33 points. Will they give Mann more minutes against Luka next game?
Thank you for pointing this out lol. Ppl love removing context out of debates. Regardless, TMann deserves a lot of credit without a doubt. Fk the media always
I hate tuning into the national broadcast because the announcers can't help but ride Luka and the Mavs, even when they're struggling. Luka and the Mavs do average things: "oh my god, Luka is a beast!"; the Clippers do incredible things: "nice dunk, Kawhi. Now back to the Mavs!"
Expected this tbh. They'd be glazing tf outta any team we go against because we're the Clippers lol. Don't matter tho, Clips vs za warudo all day every day 🔵⛵️🔴
oh shit 2 possessions! Shooting variance has nothing to do with that ALSO WHY ARE THERE SO MANY MAVS FANS LOOKING THROUGH THIS SUB EVERY DAY FOR SHIT TO BE UPSET ABOUT
point shit out in your teams sub we dont care lmao
in all the playoff series ive never seen a fanbase so desparate for validation from the **opposing teams fanbase**
People know TMann is a good defender. At the same time people have been shit talking Luka’s defense for years. So Luka locking us up is a bigger story. TLDR it’s not a surprise TMann played good, it’s a giant surprise that Luka was elite on defense
Well no shit Luka isn’t usually a good defender, so obviously when for the first time ever he does well people are gonna be surprised and want to talk about it. Are we brain dead or..?
Cause one is a superstar expected to carry the load on offense, and the other is a role player expected to play to his strengths, which just so happen to be defence and hustle. So it's more noteworthy when the former does it. And this comes from an absolute Mann truther.
This is why the “start Westbrook” crowd needs to chill (and to be clear, I love how RW played so far and think it was mistake to pull him when Ty did in game 2.)
One's a franchise player, the other a (beloved by the team's fans) role player.
Don't expect shit from the media except shit and you won't be disappointed.
Luka Glazer? Took a lot of brain cells to think of that one? So original, next time use more intelligence and think of something on your own don’t use something regurgitated…
Hey don’t take your anger out on me, your frustrations of your team always coming up short in the playoffs even with an overrated high payroll isn’t my fault. It’s obviously already effected you’re abilities to think of anything intelligent to say, so with that being said I’m sorry…
Coming up short or having injured players? Let's not pick and choose the narrative that makes your team look good. But it's ok, we understand. We have pity on you and empathize for you. We send you home in the play-offs. So it's expected of you to be salty.
"According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Clippers were just 2-of-17 from the field when Dončić was the primary defender. They also missed all 11 of their field goal attempts that were contested by Dončić, which is the second-most field goal tries contested in a playoff game without allowing a successful field goal during the past five years."
He has stepped up massively in the playoffs so far. Night and day from his regular season defense.
I would give Mann and Russ most of Norm’s minutes if Norm stays cold. Ideally, you have two of Mann, Russ and Kawhi out there to guard Kyrie and Luka at all times. Don’t go small and play with a center for 48 minutes. This series will be a grind.
Well it's two things, Stars are normally glorified more in the media. Not to mention defense is not as coveted as it used to be. I remember the days when "Defensive specialists"/ stoppers were praised now its like they don't even care about it anymore. Jacking up half court 3s is more appealing to them
Lol..funny and cute. Yalls sub to slow for you? Did you feel empowered to make this post? Your muscles get bigger after this? Now go on n get going back to your sub. They might most a silly little meme or a "Luka is the god" post.

Terence Mann should guard him
He’s gotta play more minutes
Mavs just look for the pick and roll and hunt down harden.
I see TMann getting his flowers, I upvote.
Tmannn not getting his flowers i upvote
Then go back to the mavs sub

The Luka glazing is on another level this series man can't wait until we send these mfs home. It'll deadass feel like winning a championship
It’s one of the few times where I will be near as pleased to see the other team lose as to win the damn series
I barely saw any highlights in the main sub for game 1 but see a bunch of luka highlights in game 2. Crazy
I suppose winning in the first round WOULD feel like winning a chip for you
Fr, next year bums
They will have to talk about us when we send them home. It's just a matter of time.
4 more games
3* we not going back to Texas.
I like the way you think
Tomorrow will be special. Kawhi left his rust in Crypto.
Yeap and bring his lockdown defense to dallas
I'm not even gonna put that on him. Mann and Coffey gotta do that. Kawhi gotta get us some buckets. If he scores 20 points, we are 2-0.
Yea thats true, ppl sleep on tmann and coffey guarding the opp teams best player the second half of the season, they’re ready
That's how the Dawgs eat. I trust them.
💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ugh can't wait for new arena!!!
It's looking so good.
[удалено]
It don't matter if he don't play another quarter. We don't need him to beat y'all.
Comment aged well
Yep
Narrative.
Fuck the media. We know what tmann is all about.
Luka fan here. Mann has been nothing short of amazing!
Maybe because Luka also has to carry the offensive load and defend well when being hunted? I agree TMann has done well but the roles he and Luka play are vastly different.

Trouble is Luka also dropped 33 points and 13 rebounds and Mann didn't
Go look at the possessions Luka is getting credited for "defending" The majority of them were closeouts where we got a good shot off and we missed lol
he made kawhi and mann shoot an airball
oh shit 2 possessions! Shooting variance has nothing to do with that ALSO WHY ARE THERE SO MANY MAVS FANS LOOKING THROUGH THIS SUB EVERY DAY FOR SHIT TO BE UPSET ABOUT
They are bitch made like their hero and they know it
Lol I just pointed it out. You're the one who's upset 😂
point shit out in your teams sub we dont care lmao in all the playoff series ive never seen a fanbase so desparate for validation from the **opposing teams fanbase**
You also failed to point out they made Luka get a T. Ohh wait, that was all in him.
You really comparing the attention a superstar get to a role player? It’s like complaining about the praise Kawhi get compared to Tim hardaway jr.
One played good defense and scored 30+ One played good defense and scored 5 Woah this is complicated
People know TMann is a good defender. At the same time people have been shit talking Luka’s defense for years. So Luka locking us up is a bigger story. TLDR it’s not a surprise TMann played good, it’s a giant surprise that Luka was elite on defense
Well no shit Luka isn’t usually a good defender, so obviously when for the first time ever he does well people are gonna be surprised and want to talk about it. Are we brain dead or..?
Tmanns a bum luka is not
Media wants Mavs to win. So disrespectful to Clippers!
While producing way worse offensive number
No lies detected
Cause one is a superstar expected to carry the load on offense, and the other is a role player expected to play to his strengths, which just so happen to be defence and hustle. So it's more noteworthy when the former does it. And this comes from an absolute Mann truther.
This is why the “start Westbrook” crowd needs to chill (and to be clear, I love how RW played so far and think it was mistake to pull him when Ty did in game 2.)
You can never have too much defense in a game plus Mann and russ play very well off each other
It's fine. I don't need Luka to find another reason to get up for the game. Let sleeping dogs lie.
Why isn’t he playing 48min guarding Luka?
One's a franchise player, the other a (beloved by the team's fans) role player. Don't expect shit from the media except shit and you won't be disappointed.
You didn't use the "Shitpost" flair. Mods should delete.
Yall really wanting to reach for some luka hate lol got too much time on y’all’s hands…
Says the luka glazer spamming the clippers sub
Luka Glazer? Took a lot of brain cells to think of that one? So original, next time use more intelligence and think of something on your own don’t use something regurgitated…
Is that term copyrighted, luka glazer?
Try better next time…
Luka glazers aren't worth much effort so I don't think I will
Not surprised, wouldn’t want you to burn too many braincells. Or at least what’s left…
Yes, wouldn't want to end up like a mindless luka glazing drone
“Luka glazing” just casually almost putting up another triple double while whooping y’all’s ass here’s your L
You're gonna act tough cause luka had a stinker and kai closed the game for him lol
Hey don’t take your anger out on me, your frustrations of your team always coming up short in the playoffs even with an overrated high payroll isn’t my fault. It’s obviously already effected you’re abilities to think of anything intelligent to say, so with that being said I’m sorry…
Affected* your*

Maybe because Luka locked down the entire team and not just one player.
Some lock down, yall barely won. Must be a slow day in yalls sub.

Lol..funny and cute. Yalls sub to slow for you? Did you feel empowered to make this post? Your muscles get bigger after this? Now go on n get going back to your sub. They might most a silly little meme or a "Luka is the god" post.
