Well...I'm a little disappointed in the game. I was also a little surprised to realize that 4 of the Bulls starters are guys I wanted to see traded to the Mavs. But...c'est la vie...I guess.
Slow start, yes, but then the Mavs settled down and played some pretty good ball--for most of the first half. Second half devolved into the clank-fest that often happens when the Mavs find themselves down more than is comfortable. In other words they quit penetrating and started settling for shots around the perimeter...and I mean "bad" shots around the perimeter. Bad and quick shots around the perimeter. All that did was give the Bulls a chance for more baskets and allowed them to pull away.
So. We now have evidence that at least two teams are better than the Mavs. I hate to say that because I am a Mavs homer who always votes for them to win.
I still think the game plan is hurting Luka's natural ability to lead, uplift, and involve the rest of the team in winning. I'm not sure where that will lead...but it better start leading somewhere quick...
We are still at least two players short...and the fit of who we have still isn't--right.
I guess I'll sit back and wait for Mavs management to come talk with me...
C'est la vie.
