Grant Wms has scored 73 pts in 10 game ,7.3 ppg … DJJ has scored 76 pts the last 10 games ,7.6 ppg … Josh Green has scored 56 pts the last 10 games ,5.6 ppg …clearly catch and shoot offense isnt working for the Mavs .This “short” team needs to speed up the pace .
You can say their 10-6 right now and in the next 10 games they’ll play better . But give us a hint on why you think so.

Lakers 2nd half last game and Clippers this game have played a switching scheme to limit the open shots our roleplayers get, this one of the reasons why suddenly our offense has looked stagnant 4th quarters vs Lakers and terrible tonight vs Clips.
Kyrie and specially Luka should destroy switches, but they just havent been able to put enough pressure on the defense for them to react and change the approach, Luka has been setteling for a lot of bad shots, struggling to beat people off the dribble, idk, hopefully he will be better, we need him to dominate vs switches so our offense flows.
What your seeing is what we’re all seeing,the pace has gotten slower and the 2 man game of my turn ,your turn between Luka and Kyrie is not a loser but we need a 3rd guy that can get a basket ,handle the ball ,and play actual defense of staying in front of your assignment.
Exum is that guy ,WHY does he have to be a catch and shoot basketball player ,he’s not BUT he’s the only guy that can take the ball to the basket for actual slamdunks off the dribble.Kyrie and Luka take 17 3 pters between then for 40 percent cash in. They need another ballhandler that can play defense more than someone sitting at the 3 pt line for an assisted basket. The pace has slowed down and thats not good for a team lacking front court deterrence.
I agree with that, if we get a sf i say we should focus on getting one that can actually get his points in the paint and not just another catch and shoot guy
Talk about regressing.
I got hammered for talking about trading THJ when I called him streaky.
Last three games he’s averaged 11 points on 34%/28%/75% shooting.
You’re seeing regression because Kidd is a terrible coach.
could it just not be regression is here because the first ten games were the cakest of all cake schedules and against real teams this is what the roster is?
Everyone thinks Grant Williams was the 3rd starter BECAUSE he got in Jimmy Butlers face on National tv and that looked good but Jimmy Butler torched his ass after that.
Still after that Boston let him go and Dallas fans thought they got a long term starter . DJJ won the slam dunk title and he had this untapped potential that JKidd could unlock …BUT what are we seeing now …we see why their on this Mavs team starting but never were dependable starters anywhere else. 16 games in and we see this Mavs team leveling out in the opposite direction.
Im not sure Kidd can stop the momentum the Mavs are going .His lineup gets smaller and smaller while less teams are playing smallball like he is.
