hmmmm ESPN lists no injuries for Dallas, but I'm sure KP and S. Brown are still questionable. Either way, you don't lose these games with the aspirations the Mavs have.

A game that the Mavs should win. But it wouldn't shock many people if they lose as well. A symptom of being an average to an above average team.

So I posed in the wrong GDT, but KP, S. Brown, and Burke are all out.

The "worldwide leader in sports" could certainly do much better in many ways...
I did see Burke (covid restrictions) and KP (back) listed as out. Nothing on S. Brown yet.

Hoping to see more of Frank tonight
I think by season end he will prove to be our best on ball defender vs the quick PG's

Those are KP's numbers but yeah everyone outside of Brunson, Hardaway, Bullock, and Maxi have been absolutely atrocious at shooting so far.

DFS didn't even try to close out that shooter. Missed, but that's still ridiculously lazy.

Me to. Not only regarding defense but offence. Efforts should be made to integrate him as a potential secondary playmaker. If not him, who else? Brunson is good but limited, I think that's established. Whytf did they get him to put him on the bench? When are they gonna try and integrate him if not at the fuckin' beginning? He needs confidence for starters.

Will we score 12? Not in the quarter, in the game.

wtf was that (Luka's pass out to TMJr)? So the 3 pointer was a higher percentage shot in that situation? Really?
I didn't watch Dallas much, but this seems like a mess. Disjointed.
People might miss RC soon.

What's the word on Kidd? Is he really so clueless? I mean, I don't want to jump to a conclusion.

Pacers are 1-4 and most fans didn't want Kidd.
But this frankly doesn't surprise me when you aren't serious about putting a legit roster around Luka.

Pacers are a different team to Dallas. They're at a different place. A different job. That example does not make sense.
There is ALREADY a very strong squad BUILT around Luka.

Kidd should unplug Luka and leave him unplugged for 10 seconds

From what I gathered about RC, sometimes he would play certain players just to BED THEM into the team LONG TERM. So they can show up in a crunch game in certain important situations (playoffs) in the future.
This increasingly looks like a mess, and Kidd is just managing it with no thought given to such things.
It's early alright. But this does not look good at all.

It is not easy to unplug Luka, or keep him properly plugged with the right kind of confidence.

Tit for tats are boring these days, but this is not a strong roster especially with KP out. And he hasn't been good on top of that.
Luka could carry a team to 50 wins by himself with any roster though, so there is that.

See, now Ntilikina is trying too hard and taking bad shots because there appears to be no system.

If you sit on the bench and get a moment's chance while the big guy is out, it is not easy to keep your composure. Make all the proper decisions. Especially in absence of a system.

Ntilikina wasn't played last season. He needs confidence and a system.

Bullock taking a poor shot too. 3 and d should be a clinical player. Taking your spots. That's what RC was all about.

Kidd is teaching this team how to win games when the jump shots don't fall
Which I think is a step up from RC's way of doing it which is why they were bounced out the playoffs every year since 2011 under his control.

All the Kidd hate and yet this team is playing much better defense and finding ways to stay in games when those 3 point bricks aren't falling
