2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[Mavs2021]

Those playoffs destroyed sentiment on Brunson.

All it takes is one good playoffs to completely reverse that. 

Here’s to Brunson bouncing back and getting better. :drink

No, that´s who he has always been. He´s very good at putting the ball and his head down, getting to his spots and score at a high percentage. He´s never been good, when trying to play like a true PG, dribble and have his head up to scan the floor for developing plays. It crashes his system. That´s when he gets incredibly sloppy with the ball and turns it over.

Another reason we so desperately need another playmaker, not only to reduce Luka´s workload, but also to allow Brunson to play to his strengths.

I also agree that the play-offs destroyed the sentiment of Brunson, but here we enter another perception vs. reality debate. Playing Trey Burke over Brunson in the last games had that psychological effect, because obviously if you are replaced by Trey Burke you had to be horrible.

The reality is that he was very good in the first three games, when all the Mavs played out of their mind and he was really bad in the last four games, also like all the Mavs, except Luka/DFS.
