However, that's not much of a conclusion. Even if his conclusion was that more passing is not resulting in better shots that's still a fairly weak conclusion. It appears to me that the roster(s) is still learning how to play this way - and the constant changes of the covid-hardship players doesn't help.
Yeah, it seems like more of an obvious thing to me. However, I believe it was generally in response to a number of queries from some fans who were curious as to why the Mavs are playing better without Luka (citing ball-moment stats). He made what seems to be the obvious point that more ball movement doesn't necessarily mean that the team is playing better, or that the team is better off without Luka. I am sure no one on this board would make such a mistake, but apparently a number of more casual fans were under the impression that one equals the other.
