GT#20: Mavs @ Wiz already started

Jared Butler finally got extended minutes in the blowout . . . and sucked. That will bring his season numbers back down.

There is basically nothing this team is doing at an NBA level.
They're really bad at shooting and defending. Other than that...

Gamblers could ask people to gamble on how quickly we fall behind
a certain number of points. This losing streak has been like Groundhog Day.

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.

Bub is flinging himself desperately at a defense that knows there are no other threats on the floor and can focus on him exclusively. Of course he's not having any success. You need to drive to the basket after your offense has successfully taken two defenders out of the equation, so you only have one guy to beat. He's playing one on three at the end of the shot clock after the offense has failed to generate any distortion in the defense.

Not fun to watch.

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...

He will never finish at the basket as well.

Remains to be seen.

He isn't looking like a top 2 pick but he could resemble that in time. We will just need to wait and see.

He is a big after all, so give him time. And he is getting lots of PT now which should accelerate his development.

I do like the duo of Gafford & Lively though. It was a good trade for Dallas.

Gafford prayed with Wizards players. He's a great dude.

Well, they need it.

That's Big Gaffe. The Beast.

I hope Dallas comes out of the West again, and this season wins it. I'm not sure Klay was a good acquisition. It's this season or bust for him IMO.
