His reasoning: "Name one player other teams are concerned about on that team other than Luka Doncic." Since that part of the equation hasn't changed, this analysis seems like an arbitrary about face to me.
That could well be.
He gave the Mavs credit for re-signing Luka ("an event justifying a parade in itself"), and for internal improvement from last season. Also had a degree of optimism that KP can be brought around. Even thought there was an outside chance the Mavs could reach the Finals, as "the West isn't the death march it used to be."
Still, admitted that the results were disappointing, "stacked against expectations."
Personally, it seemed to me he was putting the best face on it. A B- seems pretty generous, at this point.
Do you have a view on the offseason?
