Mavs should be ashamed they aren’t up 25

The fact we're still in this is somewhat shocking tbh.

Frank needs to go. This teams poor defense is regressing

The team is struggling to score and every offensive possession is laborious.

Frank needs to go

Suns for 2 minutes look like a real team then gave up a put back that killed all the excitement in the arena haha

I don’t know what this coaching staff is teaching or directing or whatever this team. It’s embarrassing.

This team is really unenjoyable to watch. We have so many talented players and just can't get them on the same page. Like every other team, the Mavs just pressure Book/KD as they bring the ball across the midcourt line, and what do you know, it works. We don't get into any sort of play until < 10 seconds left on the shot clock, and we put up a bad rushed contested shot. Or if we do manage to find a mostly open role-player, they just brick it. No flow, no chemistry.

One of the few bright spots lately is I notice that KD seems to be developing good chemistry with Metu. He's been finding him and passing to him several times. I think he likes the guy and wants to encourage and mentor him. My only hope for this team is that we find other combinations of guys who develop similar chemistry the more we play together.

Book on the hot mic. "You turn the ball over and don't run back?"

Love that they caught this on the mic. Bullshit effort by Metu.

Not to mention the absolutely terrible turnover.

Glad to see Gordon show up for a few possessions this half.

And his defense. The fact he's playing better than Eubanks have more to do with Drew than with him being a good player.

Metu's effort has been piss poor already this half. Starting to see why none of these role players stuck around on any team for very long. They don't know how to play winning basketball.

So many of these passes are just bad. What's the point of kicking out to a shooter if the guy has to move his entire body just to catch it?
