Cooper looked outstanding and DL looked solid and that was just about it.
It makes me want to see this team start rebuilding around Flagg and Lively sooner than later.
The lack of perimeter defense should be more than concerning to Mavs fans and I'm not sure what can be done to fix it outside of making a major trade.
Kyrie's, Gaff's and BWill's returns won't fix that situation and could actually make it worse.
Lack of floor leadership also sticks out to me. Cooper looks like the closest thing to the leader of this group.
Yeah the lack of a legit POA defender concernes me too, way more than our 3pt shooting, but I'm still waiting to see this team playing some official games before drawing any conclusions.
