Turnovers charge the pace. 3 point percentage battle is an obvious loss. Wemby has shown the NBA how to blow out the Mavs. Control the tempo. Or else, you can't set up good defense. Paint defense is also full of whole. Great improvement from Flagg, though. The dude learns really quick.

The Mavs especially the frontcourt players have to cut down turnovers and be able to space the floor. Watch the film and fix the turnovers, pace and 3 ball problems. Team will beat you the same way until you grow up in a big way.

The spacing is not good with the big lineup while the small ball lineup lacks quality. It has to start with the frontcourt spacing the floor and help each others out. I really hope a breakout season from Lively . The defense on Lively is always the weakest spot. Lively has the passing instincts and handles to jump start . But it has to start with shooting well from long range .

Though I don't get chanting at this point, just boycott the games, hurt them in the pockets.

I trust to Mr B,people in Dallas area are happy and excited about this season and this board is empty because our negativity...

Well... i wasn't expecting THIS to happen.

Another game where Kidd forces AD at 4, just throws Coop out of position and makes even him look bad. But then playing AD at 5 also suddenly makes Lively and Gafford both look like a waste of a roster spot. PJ also proved in these past 2 games why i hated the notion of him coming from the bench.

I wonder, where Mr.B is? He was one of the most active boards members before the season started. I guess he's a little shocked. Our Italian friend has also vanished.

Mavs after 2 home games have 95 offensive rtg. Second worst team has 107 offensive rtg.

It was all clear before the start of the season... Did we really need those games? Come on!

Did not expect them to lose to Wizards. Also didn't expect Luka to play better defense than AD, even if it's only been 2 games.

Jason Kidd for the 1st time acknowledges fans right to voice frustration and voices criticism of the PG depth on the team, this could easily be read as throwing Nico Harrison under the bus.

Not even me but it's not the point here.
I never mentioned Doncic or AD for example.

It's all about the roster construction, Mavs are the most dysfunctional group of players in history. It can't work. Impossible.
This team not even made PO last year and we added just a18yo kid (a special one of course but he is still a kid).

Fakers are not so good but they have a superstar in his prime and some decet role players.
That's enough to be a lot better than us.

This team is **** up for at least 2/3 years. No moves can save us.
So chill, fire Harrison and rebuild around Coop. Pretty simple.

Kidd has to go under the bus with Harrison for me.

I was just pointing out the obvious things which will forever be connected and i wasn't expecting it, that's all.

That surprised me as well. But Kidd got his long extension while Nico only has 2y left on his contract. It's safe to say something drastic has to happen for him to be extended. I think the idiot owner will have incredibly hard decision to make. If this experiment with AD fails and Dumont fires him or does not extended his contract, he'll basically admit the whole thing was a huge fiasco which would anger fans even more. But if Nico is gone, fans will have some satisfaction but it will still look bad because trade happened either way and there is no going back lol...
