Definitely need to adjust something on offense that's for sure. We shoot the 6th most 3's but we are near the bottom of the NBA at making them. We shoot more jumpshots than any NBA team... Our first 2 bench options are both pg's. And for the 5-6 games Harris is actually healthy he has been the third option.

Duncan can actually rest without his team imploding whereas Dirk is still the single force that makes the Mavs tick. This offense is just putrid. Matthews is done. CP is a roller-coaster, and at his best a 2nd/3rd option. Deron is a solid, injury prone PG. No firepower on the bench. Just a complete mess. Without Dirk, this team is in the lottery.

He was really moving around much more "agile" than normal. There was definite fire in his bones about this game. And he fucking killed it tonight. Sometimes its even hard to watch these close games because of my sadness for Dirk.

The scrape the top of the heap every offseason just isnt working, but at the same time, the mavs dont have a lot of moves that can be made.

Harris, Javale could draw anything from teams?

Someone has to start working with Wesley Matthews. No way can he continue to play like he has offensively.

Biggest issue with our offense is that Wes, Deron, and Parsons wouldn't know consistency if it hit them in the face.

Hey, that's not true. Wes is incredibly consistent. Consistently awful.

For frame of reference, in January, Wes shot 38/30 for the month. He's started Feb. even worse...

Benchproduction is ranked 18th in the NBA this year.

Tough to win a Game against a good opponent with No Deron, a struggling Wes and no Bench.

Just got mad all over again...

Watching nba.com highlights...it was literally a 2.5 minute highlights of ALL heat players...with 2 Dirk shots sprinkled in. That was it for the mavs. I understand the heat won, but it wasnt a blowout. Just driving home the point that dirk never gets his due.

Scorekeeper missed an assist by Parsons last night.
