I can't believe the Mavs lost this one.
Each game a different thing. Either they come out too flat. Or they don't rebound the ball. They fall asleep defensively. They can't make open shots. Each game they have something they are deficient in.
It feels like this team doesn't know anything on what to do and how to do it. You have Naji throwing passes to Gafford's back. Grimes walking away from a dude bringing up the ball. Luka literally falling asleep on defense.
Yet another close game where Luka completely loses it for the Mavs in the final minute. Doesn't box out at all, then on the final possession, face guards the CORNER(?) of all places, losing track of where the ball is AND his man at the same time, giving up literally a wide open dunk.
This is probably the most disastrous start to the season for the Mavs. And I'm right now blaming 60% of it on Kidd, 30% of it on Luka, and 10% a mishmash of everyone else.
