Barkley: Luca himself doesn t have a defense at all. You can t always rely on big guys to make up for it.

May 1st In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves 96-103 and were eliminated.

After the game, Barkley talked about the Mavericks' trade in Doncic. Barkley said: "Many people criticized Harrison as a bit unfair. They reached the finals last year under the leadership of Irving and Doncic, but before that, the team performed mediocrely until Harrison introduced PJ and Gafford. But the problem is that you can't always rely on finding big guys to remedy, because (Luca) himself doesn't have a defense at all. He must learn to defend and maintain a good shape."

In this game, Doncic played 40 minutes, made 7 of 18 shots, made 2 of 8 three-pointers, made 12 of 15 free throws, scored 28 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 interruption.
