It feels like he is out of character. Trying to be a players coach. Something he never was. That´s the Doc Rivers approach and it only works with a really talented roster.
In the past RC was more active on the side lines and kept his players on a shorter leash. People complained about the dog house but right now the Mavs could use a oldschool / hard nosed approach.
Another question is - do the other players on the team like playing Harden style rocket ball? I tend to believe they ( the rest of the players) like playing better when Luka and Brunson are not pounding the ball all the time.
