Added to Calendar: 01-01-24

51% from the field.
Only 12 turnovers. Seems like our turnovers have been so so much better lately.
Is that the Dunn effect? THT riding pine?

No he made that comment before the start of last season. It was something like "2023 is better than 2022, but I dont know where it ranks historically, but I think 2024 might be even better".

People in this board have taken that out of context a lot of different ways. It was a very casual type of answer in the media day before preseason last year, when the general assumption was that we are gonna be among the worst teams in the NBA for a long time. It was quoted by Larsen et al because it was a curious thing to say when everyone was hyping 2023 draft.

Now people act like Zanik said it as well and also that its some indication that this next draft was somehow DA's target.....
 
Last season we started 10-3 and this season we started 4-11. Yet, we are close to catching up on last seasons record, while trending in a completely different direction. I think we are gonna convey the pick.

My analysis for the game:
  • Thank you Jordan Clarkson
  • WILD that we blew out a team when shooting 27% from 3. That would have never happened last year, and goes to show how much better we are right now.
  • No one even mentions here that we held Dallas to 90 points. NINETY. Yeah they didnt shoot great, but we didnt give them anything for free either. We switched with Luka and whoever they decided to target on did their job. Collins was great when they targeted him early, and Kessler played at the perfect distance to be able to distract his 3P shot while not giving up lanes. Sexton was also jumping in front of him at times like an Energizer bunny. Lauri pushed him to drive but contested the fadeaways well making them tough, and we didnt overfoul him.
  • Lauri at 4 makes him much more passive on offense, but I wonder if its still best for the team as Fontecchio is playing great at 3.
Too many guys to credit and no one to really call out in such a great team win.

Btw, this was Mavs biggest margin of defeat this season, and only the Clippers have held them to under 100 points in a game where Luka played. And in that game Luka and Kyrie combined for 56 points while we held that duo to just 33.
