Luka was trapped all game, this just shows why Wood dual threat as a popper and as a roller is critical, Luka trapping led to many TOs, Dinwiddie isn't a PG but a slasher.
Defense w/o Maxi, Doe Doe and Green is 2021 Mavs, and you have to outscore opponents.
McGee...
Kidd, Luka had no business playing, or at least playing 36 minutes, just poor management, Pinson also shouldn't play.
The good:
Bullock lookef confident, 1st time this season.
What happened to Wood actually? Rest? It is disappointed we wasted so much money and roster spots on useless players, that cant score and cant defense.
Oh it's a mess, and Cuban slept walk right into it, but it's not worth rehashing at this point.
Wood rolled his ankle, he needed recovery, would've made sense to rest the starters another day and go all in on today's game instead of yesterday's, I'm not sure what led to this decision, maybe Luka insisted.
Dallas defense is a tricky thing, with Maxi, Bullock, DFS and Powell you constantly have 4 switchable defenders, who rotate and recover all over the place, and covered for the 2 weak links (2 of Luka, Brunson and Dinwiddie), Brunson isn't actually bad staying in from of player, he's just short, once you lost 2 of them in the lineup, and add Dinwiddie who has horrible defensive awareness, and unmotivated Luka, this will be a very bad defensive team, having Bullock as a good perimeter defender means nothing, and lack of rim protection makes every blow by very costly.
