Mavs are getting huge help from Frankie Smokes and pretty close to nothing from any of the other new guys. What that tells me is that only luck, not smarts, kept our offseason from unmitigated-disaster status. It may be too early to give up on Sterling and Reggie. But I’m close to writing them both off. At least Burke has good games once in awhile.
On the other hand, everybody else seems to be significantly better on the defensive end than they were last year. Most importantly, that includes KP. He looks good again. Did he deserve an A- or a B? Debatable. But he was nowhere near F status, unlike most of last year. And even without his most beneficial front-court running mate, Maxi, whose back will eventually let him get back.
Now, can we just get one more wing to find some offense? Reggie, Sterling, Josh, any one of ya would do.
