Lack of commitment in the off-season from their star player has trickled down through their entire roster.

No hunger, no grit. Well maybe too much hunger actually.

Luka is a fat chucker.

Porzingis looks done after his injury history

Rest of roster is a joke

Beluka Whalecic just loves too eat, no biggie :oldlol:

Mavs would do better if Richardson, WCS and Porzingis had the same hunger

[Ghost1]

2 pieces away from contention :rockon:

Lowry/Conley/Dragic/Brogdon/Holiday guy

Capela/Allen guy

Team really shit the bed with that Seth Curry trade. J-Rich is toast.

[dirkdiggler41]

Everybody is just trolling here. Luka has been great, but he came in out of shape and the Mavs were not able to get it rolling quickly just like the rest of the west. KP came back but has struggled to find a good rhythm. But the biggest reason for a negative record is that Josh Richardson(32mpg), Dorian Finney-Smith(29mpg) Maxi Kleber(24mpg), and Dwight Powell(19mpg) have been out the last 9 games because of covid protocols. That is Mavs defense. They just need to get back in their grove and play together and they will be fine.

What are you talking about? :lol Curry got traded because he could not play defense against anybody. He would not mean anything in the losses this season. We needed J-Rich, but he was out because of covid.

He didn't look great to me last night despite putting up 30 and 6. A lot more to the game than putting up numbers. I know 3 of their starters just came back from the Trump virus so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Porzingas who I've been told is better than Gobert did nothing with Gobert on the court besides give up a lot defensively and most of what he did do was on the perimeter with 5 rebounds. Boban could probably help them offensively anyway. They are too perimeter oriented. Trey Burke being in the rotation says a lot. Have a great coach so I'm sure they'll figure it out

[k0kakw0rld]

They have lost the best shooter in the league in Seth Curry :confusedshrug:

Mavs make awful roster decisions outside getting euro players.

They seem to insist on thinking they'll get an american A+ name and bomb out every year because players don't want to play there.

Mavs should do what I do in NBA2K and do an all euro team.

Need a mix of Euro and North American. Jazz are a good example

[90sgoat]

porzingis for beal

This is my NBA2K team:

Doncic
Caruso
Avdji
Porzingis
Zubac

Bench:

Rubio
Boganovich
Harris
Gasol
Hernangomez
McConnell
Leonard

I missed the playoff though (All Star level), but gonna sign Jurkic and Tyler Herro in free agency.

[SATAN]

Doncic is the biggest stat padding ball hog I've ever seen. They will never win a chip with their current approach.

getting drummond via trade shouldn't be that hard imo

porzingis + green + brunson + picks for bradley beal :lol


Doncic
Beal
Finney-Smith
Kleber
Drummond

[90sgoat]

Doncic is the biggest stat padding ball hog I've ever seen. They will never win a chip with their current approach.

Yes, he does ball hog, I don't think he cares about stats though, but yeah, very selfish player.

He will need to grow up a lot.

Porzingis is quite similar though also only looks for his own shot.

I don't think they will work out now. Which is a shame.

Doncic needs an AI like team. Get someone like Gobert and a bunch of shooters. He would do best now in a Deantoni system.

Herro is the missing piece to the puzzle.

Who have we lost out on, that actually should have joined us?

Can you define what a selfish player is? Can you show us some clips of his selfish plays?

You don't watch the Mavs because that is the kind of team they are building, but they play a 7.3 shooter at center. Richardson, Finney-Smith and Kleba are big minutes guys that focus on defense. They just need time.

[Axe]

These "what's wrong with teams" threads have been becoming common lately

[DMAVS41]

I love Luka, but he still has a ways to go imo...

People were arguing with me last year that Luka was better than peak Dirk...

LOL...peak Dirk would have a team like this getting 60 plus wins.

[Mauzah]

Missing four key rotations guys definitely plays a role.

Porzingis returning from injury - Can this guy set an off the ball screen for once in his life? My god the defense gets it, deep three coming

screens are meaningless

[Mauzah]

screens are meaningless

Why is that?

[Xiao Yao You]

Why is that?

apparently because Gobert is the best at it
