Oh boy, I'm gonna write a lot here, since I've been having that feeling that a lot of people on here don't watch the Mavs. Btw, I'm in a good mood, very calm right now, so everything I'll write I mean it and don't exaggerate or understate anything. I've also been watching tons of games in December coz I've been jobless for over a month. Missed only 7 Mavs games this season.
Barnes. The dude doesn't enjoy it here. He goes to work, doesn't enjoy it one bit, you can just tell it by everything. He's extremely salty that some random white boy is miles better than he's ever been. And that was like that since day 1, so you can't blame Cuban or whatever crap. He shoots 3 well and is a bit above average on D, that's it. Doesn't rebound, has 0 interest in playing with his teammates. Plays his iso like it's 1 on 1 game, hits 3 at a good clip, goes home.
Wes is absolutely horrible. Again, good 3 point shooter this season, completely unplayable besides that. Can't catch a ball, can't pass at all. I legit thought he had like a hand injury or something or was on medication at the start of the season. He just generates so many turnovers it's ridiculous. Can't dribble at all. Most of his possessions are close to turnovers. Chucks in crunch time like there's no 2moro, makes teenage Kobe jealous. Doesn't just chuck when there are like 5 seconds left, just chucks randomly, wildly as soon as he gets a chance. Sometimes looks like he plays defense, but that's coz he tries, but always fails. Sometimes looks like he gets about to get a steal, but something is seriously wrong with his hands, I don't know what it is.
Daj. Shows more interest in the game than Barnes. Part of the team, Barnes isn't just there at all. Doesn't play a lick of defence. Like doesn't even show that he tries or anything. I mean freaking other teams' commentators just go silent or "wow! that was easy" when a player scores over Daj. Serious issues catching the ball. I mean he surprised me with his passing, but he can't catch very simple passes. Reminds me a lot of Olowokandi, fumbles the ball so much. Regressed a lot athletically from his Clippers days. Sometimes doesn't even bother to roll to the basket, just stands there doing nothing. He's here to pad his rebounding numbers hoping some idiot will give him more than an MLE. But doesn't even box out a lot of times, good bigs have a field day on our glass more often than not.
The team was awful last year, it would be even worse this season, Luka drags them by himself. Barea is pretty good this season, I like Kleber a lot, Harris is alright sometimes, that's about it, I really can't say more.
Rc now. Oh boy, I really don't understand why people like him so much. The dude is legit senile. If I were Cuban I'd legit have him checked into a mental institution. I mean, yeah, I get it, people for some reason give him a ton of credit for that 2011 run, but we won inspite of him. We had Casey and Stots, both dudes were very successful right since 2011. Mavs D and O went to crap right the next year. Casey was our defensive assistant, Stotts offensive. That zone by Casey was great, one of the reasons we won. Raptors D improved by like 15 spots in his first season with them. The only good thing rc did was insert Barea in that Heat series and I'm pretty sure it wasn't his idea, coz he's extremely stubborn, doesn't adjust at all, never. It's been exactly same crap since what, like 2008. Fell out multiple times with his Pgs. What's that "free flow offence" crap? Is it a euphimism for "I can't teach offence" ? One of the reasons we won is that Kidd force fed Dirk in crunch. Rc was trying to run some effing Barea\Chandler pnr or something I don't even know, get Stevenson for an open 3 like wtf is wrong with you, you got Dirk super hot, one of the best in clutch in all sports, and you running something completely idiotic jesus christ man. Wtf that Wes post stuff? That's just insane, it always ends in a turnover or very bad shot, like 49 out of 50 times. Why you do that? 3rd season in a row! Why? How do you guys think he's a good coach? Always picks his favourites, always old over the hill vets. I think all fans remember when he stormed out on the pitch swearing at Darren Colison for that 3. Then inserts Mike freaking James who chucks long 3's as soon as he can and rc stands there happy. Developed 0 young players in his 10 years, has 0 vision for young talent. I can write a lot more, but I think you get the idea.
And about the rookies. It's already completely evident that Doncic is well above the rest. Young, Ayton or whatever will be good players, just not the same tier as Luka. The kid is a franchise player already. His ceiling is extremely high. Ayton is nowhere close to Hakeem, will never be. You guys watch several Dallas games you will see what a burden Luka is dragging. And he was getting frustrated at them earlier, but anymore, he's jsut at peace with these toxic scrubs. He'll be gone as soon as his rookie deal expires if we don't get rid of rc, I promise you that. You have rc you have old scrubs playing awful ball.
