I watched the first quarter again. We played pretty hard really. Simone had some nice baskets and active D, Key had some very nice AST, OhMy had some nice buckets. Our effort looked decent but the Mavs shot 65% for the quarter. When THT and Sexton came in we lost offensive flow and our defense sucked. Kessler got abused. Hendricks looked pretty lost and was ignored by THT even though he was wide open. Meanwhile the Mavs with Luka continued to drain 3's.
 
Keyonte might be tired and that might somewhat explain his poor shooting. He expended a lot of energy vs. Portland and took a beating. He looked tired in the interview they showed pre-game.
 
Yeah, this was ugly. We are rebuilding and yet somehow we generally look old, stiff, and unathletic.

What happened to Kessler? Still recovering? Sophomore slump?
 
What’s concerning to me is that I don’t remember if we ever ran a decent play. It seems like we just try to drive into traffic and kick for 3s.

Trust me it’s not the poor shooting, I can live with that. It’s interior passing and decision making. Two plays come to mind, one where he threw the ball into the lane missing Yurt by a mile and the other where he blocked himself against Lively’s chin. He just gets flustered way too easily particularly for a point guard.
