AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

There is media/analyst talk that the Mavs' best path forward might be to fully embrace the James Harden model in Houston. As we know, that was a style that led to lots of regular season success, but not so much in the playoffs.

Personally, I absolutely HATE that type of basketball. I find it unwatchable.

(Although, with Luka's usage being so sky high leading to such repetitive offense, I am already veering towards the Mavs being boring and hard to watch. It's just not a fun exercise to spend a few hours to see.)

Totally agree. There have been times (one long winning streak about 2/3 of the way through last year comes to mind) when the ball has moved here, and those moments have given me hope. But more often than not, the offense already IS something that resembles the Harden Rockets model. 

I'm not convinced it can't work in the playoffs just because those Rockets never won, but it doesn't seem like this current mix of Mavs are up to making it look good enough, and I absolutely co-sign the opinion that it sucks all the fun out of following the team.
