Not saying they contenders, but all this post proves is styles make fights. Mavs went from non playoffs to finals with drafting an impact player and trading for two solid rotation players
His playoff performance wasn't a problem at all though. Among #2 (if we consider Bron that) not many if any had a better PER (small sample size)
They need a legit scorer off the bench, another 3 & D player and hope like hell JJ is actually better than Ham.
They aren't contenders. However, the Mavs showed with a few smart moves (depending on the matchup) its a path to be taken seriously. And that was with Kyrie only really showing out against the Twolves.
LeHomelander really not giving a fukk anymore
We gotta give up on DLO being a contributor in the playoffs, he is who he isYea that as well.
Legit big, legit 3 & D player and a scorer off the bench.
Its possible Knecht is the scorer, but we'll have to see him do it though.
I can explain away the regular season struggles on Ham. However, if DLO stays..if he could just consistently be that guy he is in the regular season it would go a long way.
Brehs talk about Bron, but DLO's % dropped 10 % on 3s and FG against the Nuggets in the playoffs. Even worse in 2023.
A HUGE part of the end of games was they stopped running offensive sets or plays. The #’s screamed that they were elite and getting whatever they wanted running set plays against Den then went away from it consistently in the 4th (it’s how they continually got big leads)Mavs have Luka and Kyrie who can close out games. How many games did we lose against Denver because Bron and AD couldn’t while Jamal Murray was game’ing them on the other end? It’s not as simple as getting a couple of role players. Do you think we’re anywhere close to Boston who will only get better as our stars continue to age?
Boston is its own animal. Not ignoring that. A healthy Porzingis makes them something different.Mavs have Luka and Kyrie who can close out games.

Now whether that’s Darvins fault or Lebron or both idk.. I tend to blame both of them for that. But there is a clear reason for the offensive issues down the stretch

Man please nepotism’s been apart of this organization since Dr Buss bought it. Even when he was in charge they mostly stayed in the Lakers circle. I remember Magic as coach and Rambis later on. Even Pat Riley was in the Lakers circle when he got hired
This team won’t get any better because the front office doesn’t compare to the days of Bill Sharman and later Jerry West
Nah DEN was spamming that PnR and the Lakers had no one to stop that action. It felt like they were running the same plays over and over again and the only plus defenders on the court were AD and BronSo did Denver. Their offense the past 2 playoff rounds against them was off broken plays and telling Jamal to get a bucket. It’s actually a big reason why they lost against Minnesota in game 7. Jamal couldn’t come thru and MPJ wasn’t hitting fluke shots off broken plays.

The entire year this defense wasn’t what led the team to nearly 50 wins, it was the offense.. and that offense stalled in the 4th
To me, that's not even the issue. Wack players get drafted every year.nikkas crashing out over the 55th pick.
