GAME #15: CLIPPERS @ MAVS—TUESDAY 11/15 5:30 PM [NOTE TIME]

Also, without Kennard you see how important his shooting and threat of shooting/movement helps the offense and its spacing. Really missed his gravity this game.

Nice comeback attempt. Reminds me of last year's team. Unfortunately, I thought this year's team was supposed to be better than that. I guess without Leonard the Clippers are pretty much like last year's team then. Oh well.

Our much praised depth is overrated

I'm not a fan of Playmaker George. The more he should play off ball the more energy he can save for Score&D and obviously less turnovers with ball will be out of his hands.

Which is why Wall is not an automatic fit. 32.2% career 3-pt shooter and about 35% lifetime beyond 3 feet.

Worst trade ever and it's not even close. The fact that Frank isn't at least on the hot seat right now is absurd.

OKC is not tanking, their coach constantly changes lineups, he sit Giddey-Poku today during the game for a bunch of no name guys in order to get better matchups and won. SGA will be an Allstar, probably ahead of PG13. Yack.

Without Kawhi, it's sort of a 2 steps forward 1 step back thing IMO. We upgraded some complementary pieces for sure, but they are only complementary pieces. OTOH everyone got a year older.

Not much of a statement win for the Mavs--they beat us by 2 in the second game of a road back-to-back.

Doncic has to take the next night off and they shoot 30% in a home loss to the 3-11 Rockets.
