Yeah makes no sense, trying to play full strength vs lesser teams and then they don't take those games seriously. But playing vs strong opponents with a "C squad" and trying to make something happen? Idiotic decisions on so many levels.
Think about it, Knicks, Kings, OKC, Wolves... Those were laughing stock teams for years and suddenly all these teams have surpassed the Mavs and managed to upgrade their roster to compete while it feels like Mavs are just going backwards. They drafted Luka and Brunson and it went downhill from there. Even Doncic's body language is starting to shift again and he looks more like he did last season, constantly frustrated and bored.
I think you might be on to something....last year was the first time we saw Luka frustrated and we know that things weren't good in the locker room(Wood,McGee??)...now this year ,the cracks are starting to show...Holmes ,who was tipped by Cuban as a good signing barely plays(and he is starting to complains)...the situation is similar to when Cuban said Frank was gonna replace Brunson... unfourtunately too many mistakes were made ever since Luka was drafted,they traded or lost all the guys he was tight with(Brunson,DFS,Boban,DSJ) and apart from Kai and Lively have failled to sign any starters...Exum and DJJ have been great but everybody else had regressed..the coach looks lost,seems like he doesn't know what to do and I think Luka Just might be starting to become frustrated that this team(most Players) can't make a progress...the Mavs are kind of in the similar situation as ATL(although I think ATL has a better roster),stuck in the middle....they need(FO,coaching team,Players) to figure out something quick or this is quickly gonna become another wasted season,second in a row...Mavs don't have the assets,they have to be patient, can't make rash decisions but I think they need to head into Summer overhaul(roster,coach)...after the draft they'll have the assets,they need to use them wisely
