As much as I was excited for the win against the Spurs, I was just as disappointed in last nights loss. Bad losses happen. No shows happen.
What is discouraging is how limited the rest of our roster is when Luka is out. KP too when he is playing at peak level. Brunson can create. Richardson is ok. Hardaway can get hot. But there just isn't a lot of juice there. This team really needs to upgrade at least two starters. Very little of guys who can penetrate and get to the rim. Poor rebounding. And very little above average defense. Just a team filled of good guy specialists. I pray the front office sees this.
The other disappointment is how far back our youngsters appear. You have seen other teams tighten their rotations and some of the younger players have lost playing time. With teams trying to win now you see this. Especially in a tightened season. I just want to see some growth to see some sign they is some development going on. I expect some rough moments from the rookies and very uneven playing time, but we should occasionally see progress. Also, sticking a youngster out there for 5 minutes every few games isn't going to ruin the game for the Mavs. If it does, then they have made a bad draft pick.
