In your opinion, is this due to selfishness? Basketball IQ? Court vision (size having to do with that)?
I agree that ball movement has been worse these past couple of seasons than what we're used to seeing from Carlisle's Mavs, and I haven't been able to decide if it's a change from him (which in light of recent events would seem like a move towards analytics) or just relying on ball-handlers who are at younger and not quite as seasoned in their understanding of how to play his brand of offense as what we're used to. And then, of course, there's the fact that the efficiency of the offense has actually improved during that time, despite what my eyes tell me is an uglier, inferior style of play.
It's a lot to process, imo.
