That bball breakdown video is very telling and is an indictment on Carlisle. For me, he'll get a pass this year assuming we make the playoffs but next season, this offense definitely needs to add more layers.
Dan Schwartzman posted the clutch stats in the other thread regarding our top 3 scorers.
As a team, the Mavs are near the bottom in scoring and efficiency in the CLUTCH. Furthermore, we are dead last in assists as well. When you compare them to other above .500 teams, the Mavs lag significantly behind.
These above .500 teams are the ones you play in the postseason. The inability to finish is a major red flag and exposes the offensive system. How is the "best offense ever" so bad in clutch situations?
IMO, we are seeing too much hero ball, less ball movement, which results in predictability. It's pretty much Luka and 4 spot up shooters down the stretch.
After 43 mins in the game, opposing defenses have a good feel for what shots you're targeting; on top of that, the adrenaline is sky high and the defensive intensity ramps up. We need more tricks up our sleeves when the going gets tough.
