We can argue about style, roster, etc., but it's about hitting shots.
https://towardsdatascience.com/how-different-metrics-correlate-with-winning-in-the-nba-over-30-years-57219d3d1c8 Mavs currently #18 in FG%, #19 in 3PFG%. Per NBA stats, shooting percentage on wide-open shots (defender 6+ feet away): DFS 35% Bullock 28.9 THJ 34.4 Maxi 28.6 Dinwiddie 46.2 Luka 28 Wood 58.3 Green 58.3

I'm not trying to dismiss the concerns because some of them are quite valid, but it's absolutely not going to be as bad as we might think after the last two games.

Has anyone in Dallas media inquired about what’s going on with Bertans and Frank?
I don’t remember any report about how long they’re supposed be out. Just a tweet before every game.

Former Mav Eugene Omoruyi drops a career high and game high 22 to help OKC drop Toronto. Good for him

I have said it for years, some of Luka's bad games have literally looked to me like he is hungover. I could be wrong, but that is what it looks like. Like that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PCFS-7FRUc Quote:No one saw Spain winning Eurobasket, given all the injuries the team had to deal with. But still, the most dramatic moment of the tournament happened when Poland defeated Slovenia in the quarterfinals. There was a lot of speculation trying to explain the shocking defeat, and now a report came out telling a story that's starting to develop a pattern with Luka Doncic and the Slovenian national team.

Just checking to see if you guys who thought we would be ok with only 2 players who can dribble are ready to admit defeat yet.

It's a fine tuned machine built for playoff success, man. Apparently you don't need basketball fundamentals anymore....you just hope your star doesn't get hurt during playoffs. No need to be able to dribble or catch a pass or attack the rim...no need to have a back up offense in the case the star goes down. All you have to do is Luka. It's ingenious.
Different time. But I think it is important to realize most males in their 20’s think they are invincible. Sometimes it takes years to figure out that the .01 things to help your career add up. Some never figure it out. That doesn’t mean they should party or let off steam, but most players don’t enter the league with this mindset. There is a story that Lebron changed after watching Kobe workout over an Olympics.

Giving up on him was a mistake but that´s nothing new. If the Mavs could evaluate talent they wouldn´t be the Mavs. Fun stat. In total Omoruyi (43) has scored more points this season than McGee (42). Omoruyi in 6 games / 69 minutes vs McGee in 10 games / 94 minutes. One would have been available on a two-way deal. The other will make 17m over the next three seasons.

Although I did say repeatedly if the Mavs weren't able to secure a Dragic type player the offseason was a massive failure.... Still, I don't think things are as bad as they seem. Mavs need to hit shots full stop. They aren't going to win many games with DFS/Maxi/Bullock/THJ all sub 34%. They do need a trade for another ball handler though. Hopefully the Jazz keep ruining the tank and the Mavs can pry a Conley/Clarkson away for relatively cheap. Maybe DLo will be available for cheap since he's stinking it up in MIN.

I was definitely hoping for a third ball handler but this team definitely has 3 offensive guys who can get a bucket and a 4th one in Hardaway who thinks he can but is struggling mightily at it (which is a theme for his whole career minus some RC years unfortunately). I'm with Kammarth, this team needs to embrace Wood and how he can transform our offense. I'm still waiting for the inevitable of our crunch time offense being nothing more than Luka/Wood high PnR surrounded by shooters so we can stop watching iso ball fail down the stretch. Kidd is making this way harder than it needs to be. (I still strongly believe turning Hardaway minutes into someone who can be a third dribbler would greatly raise the ceiling of this team)

If the Mavs could evaluate talent they wouldn´t be the Mavs. You mean deciding roster spots based on who is a good cheerleader and has veteran leadership is not a good plan? The Suns replaced McGee with 27 year Aussie Jock Landale. He averages 8/5 in 16 minutes.

Mavs have a very, very tough schedule ahead. First a b2b against Clippers and Houston, followed by Denver 2x, Boston, Toronto, Milwaukee and GSW. East tour on the road.

Yeah we absolutely we miss Brunson being that consistent player towards the end of games. We could potentially be undefeated and well on our way to a #1 seed if he was still around even minus Wood. But I don't think it would have greatly improved us if we switched out Green's minutes for someone like Dragic if that's what you mean by a 3rd ball handler

Through 12 games....
