I am just trying to voice some measured concerns on what I think we can improve. I will give them a little bit of credit for simply getting the job done tonight. Something they haven't been able to do consistently all season long thus far. By far and away Kyrie Irving is carrying this team. Night in and night out the dude is just playing lights out basketball and is one of the lone bright spots. He would be getting my Dirkie if it wasn't for Lively.
I saw some of the same things you did. I also didn't want to be a negative nelly. The comments on this forum range from the sky is falling to the favored team (in our case, the Mavs) being Gods. This is natural because all people are different. Negative comments seem to drive some people away. I don't know what the solution is. Perhaps rational, thoughtful, respectful, informed comments would do the trick. Unfortunately I'm usually none of those things. I'm the guy looking at a Picasso or Dali painting and saying, "...I don't like it." I'm watching the Mavs play--and I don't like it--but I can't always tell you why. They are out of synch. And yes...something is wrong with Luka.
I appreciate your thoughtful comments. It wasn't negative...just pointing out stuff that should be apparent to anyone. On to the next game--OKC. Should be an easy one...
