GT#20: Mavs @ Wiz already started

Games on guys.
Less then 5 minutes left in the first quarter
Bagley III got the start tonight

And of course Dimwitty is killing us with back to back 3s.

Other than that, Bilal is on a massive slump offensively, missing everything.

You know you're in a rough spot when the first quarter is almost over and theres no game thread.

Those John Wall playoff days seem like ancient history. Ancient fcking history.

Not impressed with any of Dawkins draft picks this season. None of them have played well. He better really hope that the team gets a top 3 pick because none of these guys are looking like ballers right now.

This team sucks big time.

Lack of experience and talent but it looks like Keefe lost the team. No defense or offense whatsoever. Just going through the motions.

I feel you. It’s not looking good.

We're officially tanking too hard now. Keefe will probably get fired.

I still have confidence in Bub. His season numbers are still pretty good. I think he will step up once we clear out the vets.

If not for the 9-point loss to San Antonio, this would be our 16th double-digit loss in a row. It's looking like we are flirting with Worst of All Time territory.

My 12-win prediction was too optimistic.

Glad to see some Bagley this game. And Champagnie.

We knew there would be multiple nights like this.

I thought Bub and Alex competed well. I can’t figure out why Bub looks like he can’t finish at rim, his vertical was great at combine so think that will come around.

Bilal defense still good, don’t think he is going to be a consistent high scorer, defenses adjusted to his early play and now he needs to adjust back, but for sure in a horrid shooting slump.

Kudos to those fans for showing up in this cold wind and watching that.

Sarr isn't as good as Gafford.

I wish Dallas played Dsniel over 30 minutes today. He would have scored over 30.

The question is, will Sarr be better than Gafford over time...

-16.9 differential. Yikes.

I wonder how close that is to all-time futility?

-15.20 92-93 Mavs. 11-71 record. They made the playoffs 8 years later.

My prediction of 0 wins is holding strong (I forgot to make a prediction).

He will never finish at the basket as well.

He will never finish at the basket as well.

But Sarr is already a better shooter, shot blocker, passer, and ball handler than Gaff…so there is that.
