Lol, all you do is complain and see the negatives.. that game was not indicative of what this team is becoming.

The West is stacked and this is a very new group of players. Considering that Kyrie has been gone for 12 games, the Mavs are decently placed.

Defensive effort / performance is improving, Luka is playing the best defence of his career, and when they're healthy, the offense has been pretty dynamic.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and the nba has never been this competitive.. not quite sure what you expect to be honest..

No if you paid attention I post when they have some of their victories also. Mostly when I am able to catch the game. Literally everything I have told you and Muster since the preseason has happened lol. Almost to a T.

All I’ve heard was how great the roster is and good this team is when that’s clearly wrong. Literally every loss it’s some kind of excuse. Hell, The excuse that Lively wasn’t available was used for this game when Memphis didn’t have Ja or Jackson, their two best players. This game was 100% indicative of what this team is: Inconsistent. I’ve shouted this from the rooftops all season and like I said, they completely prove me right over and over.

As far as what I expect or predict, I’ve also stated this numerous times and was laughed at. Mavs would end up being the 5-8th seed but unable to do anything meaningful in the playoffs because the roster is not a contender. I’m the only one to say to limit the high expectations and achieving a certain win total because anything can happen in a season, especially injuries. To which I was also laughed at. Now you both use injuries as an excuse numerous times lmao.

Hate that I’m right about this team tbh, but at least I’m realistic and not continously making excuses. It is what it is, hope I’m wrong and they end up being true contenders but it’s obvious it’s not the case so far this season.

I've never set super lofty expectations for this team, but if they're healthy they'll be a tough out for anyone in the playoffs.

If Kyrie wasn't injured, we'd have won at least 4 of those 12 games making us 3-4 in a stacked West..

Wtf u expect this team to be Denver? This core hasn't even played half a season together let alone a full season..

The improvements and building of chemistry has been evident.

This year we are barely playing cans like Kleber and Bertans, and Bullock isn't a freakin starter.. thank fuckin god. How are Dodo and Dinwidie lookin at the nets? Pretty damn average..

Tonight was a really bad game, and isn't even an example of what this team is / what's wrong with it.. it was a clusterfuck from the beginning. Bad games happen. Luka had a terrible game also.

That said, they'll need to improve even more than they have over the course of the season, as their upcoming schedule is really fucking tough..

I saw a video this morning that showed the Mavs defense over the last 20 games is 9th in the league. That is a VERY big change from previous years. They've had bad luck this season because of an unbelievable number of injuries, when Luka plays Kyrie is out, when Kyrie plays Luka is out, and then Kleber, Holmes, Exum, DJJ, Grant Williams, DLive, and Josh Green have been injured. Mavs had a few games where they only had 8 available players. If they can ever get healthy I feel like this team is WAY more of a problem than people think.

Please tell me what I’ve said that proves I haven’t been right. Go through my post history and quote me. I also asked you to elaborate further on something multiple times and youve ghosted lol.

Being a realist is better than being a homer full of excuses, which you definitely are. Call me a hater all you want, means nothing to me as a fan of this team longer than you have been.

Why are you asking what do I expect when I literally said it multiple times with my prediction lmao. And I’ve already said all of this and brought up injuries before both of you lol. That’s all you two are talking about now. You continue to miss the point that this is exactly what I’ve expected from the team.

Btw DoDo and Dinwiddie are still better than 3/4 of the roster and this team would be better with these two. And you’ve lost all credibility because Bertans and Bullock haven’t been on the team all season LMAO. Yikes

With all healthy they are still inconsistent and couldn’t beat good teams earlier in the season. When they were doing well and beating on crap teams, I was the one who told you to hinder expectations and you went at me. Did you forget all of this? Don’t talk to me about injuries when I was the one who brought it up to you in a previous argument
