RE: MAVS NEWS: WCS out w/ personal reasons | 17th O, 21st D | 5th in West - StrandedOnBeauboisHill - 12-07-2021
MacMahon on Zach Lowe's podcast today and they kind of tear the Mavs (primarily Luka) to shreds around the 37-38 minute mark if anyone is interested.
MacMahon made a comment about Luka reporting to camp weighing 260....
Most interesting stats were the fact that Luka/Maxi/KP have only played 49 minutes together this year and that KP post ups average 1.2 points per possession and Luka post ups have averaged .78...which was surprising.

Speaking about hyperboles. MacMahon said Luka was directing anymosity against RC almost every timeout. MacMahon is full of shit...

He said he's about to drop a story leading into our game against the Pacers later this week about Rick's departure. Should be....like a really fair view of everything because he's not dramatic at all when it comes to the Mavs.
RE: MAVS NEWS: WCS out w/ personal reasons | 17th O, 21st D | 5th in West - omahen - 12-07-2021
Also, wasn't it Lowe just a couple of weeks ago calling Mavs a potential contender? That there is a contender hidden in that team?

I think you gotta sort through his stuff, and say "nah" to some of it. But he also has given us stuff before that the folks that use a friendlier approach didn't give us.

Would you say we've done some things recently that might make someone rethink such a statement?

He also pointed out his favorite trio Luka - Kleber - KP played 49 min together. Tho more or less 2 games.

So which stuff is that? How do I decide that? I think that specific stuff is clearly untrue. NBA cameras catch basically everything and there was I think one video of frustrated Luka barking at RC (when RC called timeout Luka didn't agree with). How do I know anything else is true? Or how can I measure, how much truth is in each statement if he is exaggerating everything so badly?

No. What I do agree with is that Mavs play very poorly. Something I thought since season start. I don't think anything changed.

Oh right, that's true. You think the Mavs are one of the worst run organizaitons. You should get along great with Timmy Mac!!!

Yes, he said if he squinted really hard he could see a contender, but hasn't seen it yet. I believe that is fair. Lowe, to me, is the best in the business.
In a later podcast, he said he was less worried about Atlanta (who were at the time 5-6 games below .500) than the Mavs who at the time were 3-4 games over .500.
When listening to him, I feel his thoughts are similar to a lot of us here. There talent/fit is not where it should be. But even with that they are not far from being a really dangerous team as is. I sense he is really conflicted because most of this year has not looked smooth.

MacMahon:
"Luka came in to training camp at 260 plus pounds.....Zion is 70 pounds bigger than that, I'll let you do the math."
"Luka is very good at admitting it, but not very good at addressing it."
"[Luka's] defense has been abysmal."
"Luka doesn't have the same burst....Worse spacing and less burst, it is hard to get to the rim."
"KP's post ups are a hell of lot more efficient when he catches it deeper."
Lowe:
"Luka's lack of burst has also hurt him in the post."
"Mavs are the 3rd unluckiest team on D." (meaning other teams make really difficult shots against them)
"The Mavs might be the most disappointing team in the NBA....They have looked so "ehhh.""

I feel like this happened last year too. At what point will teams revert to the mean against the Mavs? Or is this indicative of a serious flaw in either effort or scheme?

You know how Kidd has been talking so much about defense lately?

"Luka Doncic is among the players to have expressed interest in playing with Ben Simmons, per source. That interest extends all the way back to the summer."
