We have to miss more open threes than any team in the league

TBF, he was hitting well in the first half. Now, so many missed shots by lots of our guys.
THJ and Reggie Bullock have officially become the Clank Brothers.
BULL**** overturn
Brick city in the 4th. "Unbelievable 3 pt defense" my ass
I know some players are shooting under their averages, but it feels like it shouldnt be that hard to just sign a team full of people that can play defense and shoot open 3s for league average.
**** j kidd

THJ forgot how to shoot. So did Reggie Bullock. Combined 0-13 from three tonight. Completely embarassing
We are regressing. J Kidd was handed a quality team. Sure it wasn't a championship team, but this team should not be sub .500
Blow this team up. Dudes are ass.
Hell at this point we might as well see if josh green can shoot. I'm sure he can't but it can't be any worse so might as well see what we have.
I dunno, you can't be completely results oriented with a new coach.zgolfz85 said:

If we are stil generating quality/open shots and just bricking them, at some point its on the players....which is on the front office
I'm now ready to trade away the entire roster except for Luka and KP

Agree to an extent. This roster has played together far too long to be at the same level or worse though
I have never seen a team miss as many wide open shots as this one. That combined with not finishing at the rim is maddening. On defense, they are playing harder but still making mistakes. On that Harden drive against Luka, he played Harden tough but Harden is going to get to the rim 9/10 times against any defender. It was maddening to watch JB stand there and guard against the dump off pass compared to circling to the rim to add a body in front of Harden.
Little things like that make me crazy. I can understand those as growing pains. Watching Luka leave the court with 15-20 unfinished assists because none of these dudes can shoot is pissing me off though.

Playing all these teams back to back is so strange, the schedule is weird this year.
Hey! We won a game!!

Trying to reduce travel to the different cities during a season. Honestly, I'm surprised the NBA hasn't done that before- it just makes more sense
Also if there is a COVID outbreak on players, it limits it to a handful of teams, ideally, rather than spread it around the whole league.True Anomaly said:PatAg said:

Good win last night. Memphis was hot coming into that one.
Stop me if you've heard this one before: a big man is unhappy with his role in Rick Carlisle's offensive system.
This time, though, it's Myles Turner. Any chance the Mavs could swing a deal to bring him home? I assume not since that would require tradable assets, but fun to ponder nonetheless.

Hope we can get in on this somehowESPN reporting with @ZachLowe_NBA: Philadelphia's trade conversations on Ben Simmons gathering momentum in recent days. More teams engaged, more two and three-way deal structure talks ongoing as 76ers try to land a Top 25 player for Simmons.

Why?
Not necessarily for Ben Simmons, but get in there and shake things up as the third team in a deal. Like the way the Cavs did last year with the Rockets-Nets deal and stuff.M.C. Swag said:

2 game win streak without Luka. KP looked great last night.

How long is Luka, aka the Weekend Warrior, expected to be out?

Nice hit pieceSaint Pablo said:
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32861454/luka-doncic-rick-carlisle-dissolution-their-relationship-comes-next-dallas-mavericks Interesting read.
everything ultimately goes back to Cuban and the front office, and their inability to assemble a quality team
Not sure it is entirely a hit piece, it looks like there is some truth in there.This article about my time there is spot on. And that’s coming from staff members n players! Y’all don’t even know the half. https://t.co/9gh2DI4xPu

But I agree with your comment about the FO.
