Default I've thought long and hard about this...

Why are we getting off to slow starts?

Why are we losing to bad teams?

Why is our defense seemingly worse?

Why are we losing to teams without their best players?

Why can't we win on the road?

Why am I less excited than in years past?

I think it all comes down to this:

The 2003-04 Dallas Mavericks are not very good.

Too many guns, not enough ammo.

They are "Good"...just not "very" good. They have spoiled us by always playing all out...leaving it all on the floor...until this season when they just don't seem to care enough to play hard consistently. I believe Nellie has lost them and hope that Cuban sees this and makes the neccessary adjustments in the offseason.

I think it all comes down to this:

On paper the Mavs are better than last year. I just think it is a mental thing. They have proved they can beat "good" teams, but they have been so inconsistent. I really just think that this team is weak mentally. They do not know how to be agressive enough to "just do it." They have the talent, but not the "attitude". Frustrating. They are killed not having the defense, and efficient scorers though.

Maybe they can "turn it on" come playoffs though (but I doubt it).

It's Walker's fault.

And I mean the PRESENCE of Walker, not AW himself. Nellie's man-love for the Point-forward has caused this team to regress IMMENSELY this year (offensively) and that is why our offense stinks as bad as our defense....
