Felt like the refs were awful all night. We got hammered all game.
And our offense once again bogged down in crunch time. We have to figure that out.
Well I totally cursed him.wealeat09 said:This must have been on the Mavs bulletin board. Luka is playing awesome and hitting shots.MyNameIsKyle said:I agree, but the plus/minus in the short term in combination with the reduced efficiency over the last several weeks is all I was noting. I've been screaming from the rooftops, for months, for Doncic's to chill w/ the three heaves, b/c it makes him such a less efficient player. I think we're seeing that catch up with him, along with the injuries. He has the capability to be remarkably efficient, on the offensive end, but it's starting to look more and more like he's simply not a great shooter.PatAg said:+/- is already not the best way of measuring a players performance, and two games is an insanely small sample size to draw conclusions fromMyNameIsKyle said:one of the biggest differences is Doncics play. He just hasn't been right. The previous consistency and lockdown control over the flow and pace of the game just isn't there. Second win in a row in which Doncics plus minus lagged significantly below the team. Maybe the sophomore slump has finally hit him, or just the accumulation of injuries.chris1515 said:
Agreed. Also pretty happy they sat out the trade deadline this year and didn't make any panic moves.
It feels different watching this team lately with KP playing like he has been. It's pretty clear he is a superstar.
I would say having a banged up left thumb is the primary culprit for any downturn in play, but he's still been very effective.
Pacers have KP's number. Hopefully we pull it out.
That can easily be Seth. He's a better shooter than both of those guys.ramblin_ag02 said:
Everyone talks about how we need a third guy. If we get a Jason Terry/Robert Horry-type late game assassin this team could be scary
He's a better pure shooter than peak Terry, but Terry proved he could deliver in the clutch.MyNameIsKyle said:issue with Seth is he doesn't handle well, for his position. The great thing about Terry wasn't just his deadly fourth quarter shooting but his ability to initiate the offense.wealeat09 said:That can easily be Seth.

Also, Seth isn't young. What we're seeing now is probably near his peak, and while I really like him, he's nowhere near peak Terry. I continue to think THJ has more to unlock, ironically, as he continues to take bigger steps back from a primary role. THJ has defensive potential at his size and athleticism, and if Carlisle could get him to chill with the 1-1 offense and focus that energy on defense, he could be what Dallas needs. As it is, both Curry and THJ fit categorical needs, but both have a couple of skill areas that fall notably short. Peak Danny Green and Terry would perfectly compliment KP and Doncic, though that's pretty true for 90% of the league.

What would that look like? A low amount of reported infections or deaths? Doesn't sound like anything they would regret.
