Dallas role players are missing in action
Take your pick of any player not named Kristaps Porzingis or Jalen Brunson — just about all of them stunk it up offensively in some way. Tim Hardaway Jr., Reggie Bullock and Dorian Finney-Smith combined for 15 points in their combined 92 minutes. That is not good enough, Luka or no Luka.
Hardaway in particular was the most disappointing. Finney-Smith and Bullock rely on mostly catch and shoot looks generated by Doncic and while Hardaway does too, not this much. We’ve seen Hardaway carry this Mavericks offense when Doncic is off or out with an injury and he just didn’t give the Mavericks enough Sunday afternoon.
It might be time to start wondering about Bullock. He was scoreless in 32 minutes against the Clippers and only took two shots. He’s now shooting 29 percent from three on the season and Doncic’s availability hasn’t been the biggest factor in that slump. Bullock is simply missing his shots. The Mavericks have to figure out a way to get him going or the offense is never going to reach the heights this team wants it to.
