Our only offensive weaknesses are Offensive Reb (I mean duh with KP out there), iso drives, and transition. Transition offense blows my mind because we're built to run. For ISO drives, we don't really have anyone who drives outside of Luka, but we don't really need it with Luka driving and distributing. The only real offensive issue we have is offensive rebounding/putbacks, but our rebounding will always be awful with KP standing 30' from the basket.
More concerning to me than the 10th place offense is the 20th place defense and 17th place rebounding. We gotta figure out how to defend.

There is a reason jump shooting teams historically rarely win championships. GS was an outlier imo.
The reality is that the Mavs do not have the players and talent for playoff success playing 5 out.
The playoffs require defense and smart, consistent offensive production to beat a top team 4 games. The Mavs have none of that.
Analytics from stats produced over a season against all teams are very misleading. Expecting that type of "average" production in the playoffs is wishful thinking.
I don't think RC gets the most out of his talent. He is too wedded to his system. Players look worse than they actually are at times when asked to do things beyond their skillset. DFS is a prime example.
