Any second anyone hits a three, the offense looks fine. Not just because of the three but because the opponent can't pack the paint and Luca( or Brunson) will find the open cutter or they and Burke will get to the hop. We are just shooting really and unsustainable bad other than THJ and Maxi. And any lineup with Iwundu and WCS is only a result of missing a bunch of players.

Last season's high-octane offense was highly entertaining, and this season's constant slog is often hard to watch. And there is no guarantee that the plan, if there indeed is one, is moving the team any closer to the goal line. I have some optimism that the watching experience will improve substantially when they get their guys back. But we're enduring a putrid stretch here, for sure. Sports in general have taken a quality hit in the days of the virus. Hang in there, KL!

The reality of this season is that they might have to deal with a skeleton crew all year long because of Covid. Totally agree with you SBJ. The only criticism that could be made, although its still waaaay to early, is the rookies that Mavs drafted. Would have been nice to have some of the others that play at much much higher level and shooting well. Haliburton, Bane, S.Bey, Maxey etc. Our rookies have been particularly bad, and with so many main players out, due to Covid, it has been relatively easy for teams to double Luka, because the rest of the team has not had the level to play 4 vs. 3 and score. There is no way that Mavs can perform well like this. Being 7-7 is a miracle at this stage, due to Lukas brilliance, KP returning to better form last game, and emergence of WCS. Once JRich, DFS, Maxi are back. The opponents will quickly move away from doubling Luka. It simply wont work as it does with rookies around. The offense should be equally explosive this season as the last. Johnson is really playing well and brings leadership and experience. I really love this trade. He is so much better than what we traded away. I agree Jrich is also better than Curry for us. We have this season many two way players. I will just count them: Luka, KP, JRich, Maxi, DFS, WCS, Johnson. This is a team that I think has kept the continuity, we talk about only two new additions with trades compared to last season. So I believe they have made it priority to create continuity. These two new additions, jRich and Johnson, they bring us two new two way players, and improved the defense. Once this team is full strength, I think they will dominate, and I predict they will peak at the proper time before playoffs. With half the teams main players out, in fact 3 of them starters (JRich, Maxi, DFS), it's hard to evaluate the Mavs at this very moment.

It's just a weird year, I hope this gets better but it might not really until next season when everyone is vaccinated.

Mavs tried hard to get Haliburton so can't fault them for that. Maxey is a tough one bc Mavs could have had him. He's getting 20 mpg on a good Philly team. All that being said it's early. Green's defense is legit and he shows flashes of offensive magic. I could see him being another J Rich type, 3D with some offensive tools. If Mavs get that they will be pretty happy I think, especially considering their draft history in mid-late 1st round hasn't been great.

We have the option of turning these games off, even though we don't. Since watching them is your job, you really have no choice.

The ability to score like this will win you some games.
