Carlisle does not adjust to his talent; he forces the players to adjust to his “system.” We know he’s stubborn as hell and right now, he’s addicted to 3PT volley fire.
Last season, the Mavs shot the 4th most 3PA’s but ranked 4th worst in percentage. Now Carlisle wants us to shoot even more with pretty much the same core? Brilliant. We are averaging 45 3PA’s (8 more than last season’s average) in the preseason and shooting it at an abysmal rate again. Is this a recipe for success?
Porzingis and Seth will help but the former is clearly rusty while the latter’s role will be closer to his Portland one than his first stint in Dallas. I believe MBT are praying for internal improvement from Luka, Brunson, etc. but I still don’t know if it will be enough to justify the incredibly high volume of 3’s. We need several guys to shoot it near an elite level. It is a lot to ask for.
