Luka Doncic needs to be double-teamed every time he touches the ball
At just 22-years-old, Luka Doncic is not just an NBA superstar, but he is one of the best players in the entire NBA. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are terrific defenders, but Luka is just toying with the Clippers in this series and there has been no sense of urgency from the entire Clippers team to try and stop him!
Luka Doncic has been embarrassing the Clippers, one of the best defensive teams in the league during the regular season, and in this series, he is currently averaging 35.0 points, 8.0 rebound, 9.4 assists and shooting 47.9% from the floor, 42.9% from three-point range.

In this series, Doncic scored his 300th point of his playoff career in just his ninth playoff game ever, making him the third player in NBA history to achieve this feat. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Jordan scored more points (325 points each) than Doncic through 9 playoff games.
Doncic just cannot be stopped right now, but the Clippers are just letting him go and do his thing! It makes absolutely no sense why they are letting this guy shoot every time down the court, especially after he has burned every single player on the Clippers’ roster in this series!
Entering Game 6, you would think that the Clippers coaching staff would have come up with an idea to double-team or even triple-team Doncic at this point, but nope! They are sticking to their game plan, which has not worked yet on him, and they believe that they are going to get the job done.
Nobody on this Clippers’ roster has been able to stop Luka Doncic in this series and if they do not double-team him in Game 6, then they could very much lose this series. They need to force someone else to beat them right now because Luka may be the hottest player in the league right now on the court.
