It's crazy that such a high percentage of you guys just blame the coach. I just read through your reasoning and I don't see a compelling argument against the coach in the whole thread, just a bunch of venting based on a belief that what you would have done would work better.
Nah. Give me this coach, this roster and give them some time to sort some things out and I think we'll see this thing play pretty well. We've seen glimpses if it and we've also seen that it's a work in progress.
I'll watch them work it out and enjoy the process rather than expect a new, young roster to have it all immediately figured out.
Losses are frustrating, especially to bad teams, but losses are part of the process.
Uh huh. Pretty much the same defense of RC we've been hearing for years now. The Mavs have not played like a well coached team in years. The championship was in 2011. That is eight years ago. IMO, it's just time for a change.
There is really no comparison between this year and the tanking years. Before last year we knew the roster was bad. Last year there was a little hope, and I suggested patience at the beginning, but after about a third to half of the season it became clear that we had vets playing for themselves, a discontented DSJ, and HB who failed in important games. I didn't suggest patience after that. Nah, this season is different. And it just makes sense to recognize that a new, young roster is a work in progress.
