Shouldn't dress and shouldn't be complaining about touches. 
Shouldn't be complaining about 4th quarter minutes either. 

4th quarter is where we let games slip away like lubricant being imposed all over Jada Steven's wonderful..

& most of the 4th q points are THRU pau
 
Chicago, OKC, LAC, all have the elements to be greater than they are now. Why isn't working?

OKC may have the most talented roster in the league and yet they record doesn't reflect that.

KD shoots curry like and is more physically gifted. What are they missing?

Right, most of the 4th quarter points are through Pau and most of the points scored are on Pau. 

Isiah thomas was feasting in the paint as Pau and Mirotic didn't help or recover. 

Then Hoiberg will continue to do his predictable subs, switching defense to offense within every timeout in the 4th.

ALPHA (s)

A cohesive team that gels very, very well chemistry wise. 

Knowing when and where and how each other play. 

It's still early for Chicago but with players playing half-donkey, the potential won't be reached. 
 
Everyone on the Bulls has some blame to go around.

Mirotic/Snell for being inconsistent

Rose for being consistently passive

Noah for being Noah

Pau for being a liability on the defensive end

Jimmy for throwing his teammates under the bus to the media a bit too much. Also I think Jimmy is starting to think he's better than he really is. I mean, yea, sure he is the best player on the Bulls, but tone that ego down on a notch.. You are Jimmy Butler, not Lebron.

Rings are irrelevant when it comes to a new team. A new beginnings. Does Pau still plays like when he won those rings? 

No.

It's still very early.

I have no idea what's wrong with Chicago. 

But I've watched a bit of OKC and of course LAC. OKC is getting better. They don't consistently defend however and that hurts them. Durant has been injured too, which obviously has an effect on their record. Same with LAC. LAC has struggled with health, missing their starting backcourt for quite a bit this year. But they've won 6 of 7 as well. 

It'll all work itself out and eventually the top four will be GSW and some combination of SAS / LAC / OKC

Guys here over analyzing things. I guess that‘s fine and another subjective subject in itself.

What constitutes chemistry though?

All this GSW propaganda, and guys out here saying how teams lack this and that because they aint coming out games with a W. lol

Mark Cuban said up front that his latest gripe about NBA officiating didn't impact the Mavericks' loss to Atlanta Wednesday.

Their crummy shooting and lack of tough-mindedness took care of that.

But Cuban believes referees have stopped calling defensive three-second violations, allowing defenders to camp out in the paint without fear of being whistled and giving the offensive team a free throw.

And it's changing the way the game is played, he said.

"Something this year has changed," Cuban said. "I know it's not the league. Somewhere along the line, officials have chosen not to call defensive three seconds.

"We've had multiple games already this year. The last one we turned in, and the league agreed, that they missed nine defensive three calls. And these aren't (close). These were six, seven, eight and in one case, nine seconds, of standing in there. It's not a tough rule.

"I don't know what's happened, but it's changed the game. We're starting to tell our guys just stand in the paint and don't move. But some teams have figured it out before us. It's just wrong. And I don't know who came up with the decision."

Cuban said the league sent out a memo saying that defensive three seconds would be a point of emphasis. Somewhere below that, he said, it appears that a conscious decision has been made to not call the violation.

"They weren't just obvious, they were blatant," Cuban said. "If you just zone up and put a guy in the paint, it impacts the game. But it wasn't relevant to the game today. We were just missing shots. This is a bigger issue, whether it impacts us or somebody else. Something happened.

"Either you're in there and actively guarding, or you're not. So something's going on. It's not relevant specifically to the Mavs. It's relevant to the league and how it's being officiated. I have no idea. So as is my nature, if I can't get answers, I'll let other people help me find answers."

The league has a system in place where teams can turn in calls that they believe were missed. Every team uses that system.

Cuban said that some teams around the league have figured out already that they can pack in their defense without fear of getting called for defensive three seconds, which is supposed to be whistled when a player is not within guarding distance of any specific player for more than 2.9 seconds.

Cuban said the league has agreed that the rule has been missed by referees.

"They agree with us," he said. "To their credit, at least they're being transparent. When guys miss calls, they miss calls. Sometimes they benefit you, sometimes, they don't.

"But we're sitting there and counting out loud, right? And we've turned in multiple games where there are seven, eight, nine missed defensive three seconds and the league agrees with us, what does that say? I have no idea. I'm asking questions more than saying I know where to find the answers."

He said teams are learning to use the lack of whistles regarding defensive three seconds in their favor.

"The game is changing," he said. "I don't know if all of them are. But you saw the game tonight. Maybe we're just the ones that are stupid and I missed the memo. You can quote me: Mavs are stupid and choose to follow the rules. But we'll try to adjust to that and see what happens.

"Maybe you guys can ask the refs: is there a concerted effort not to call defensive three seconds now? All evidence points to something going on."

pau should get the boozer treatment in the 4th... & earlier if hes gonna loaf on d & getting back

on sequence he tossed a extra lazy *** pass that was easily stole..... didn't get back on d to stop the layup... he literally gator armed a block attempt so he didn't look completely like a lazy jack *** on tape... that type of **** aint ******* acceptable
Click to expand...
Bruh, I seent that too! He threw a stupid lazy pass to butler in the post, got intercepted real quick. 

Then another time, Thomas drove on him and he didn't rotate. He knew it and said my bad. Then this fool gonna walk in the back court along with four of the Celtics players. 

Like dude, run up!

This is real.
 
Penny Hardaway is coaching a boy's basketball team at a local Memphis high school.

Can you imagine Penny Hardaway or any of your NBA idols growing up being your high school coach? :wow: I'm sure the majority of these kids were just being born post Penny's Magic career, but still that's huge.

FIrst of all, Dion sucks. He is horribly inefficient, but he's one of those players who eye test projects him to be better than he really is and that's probably why Presti was in love with him and even gave up a 1st rd pick to get him. He's a sub40%fg shooter who doesn't get to the line at a high rate or finish and the majority of his shots are long mid range 2s (stepbacks at that) which he shoots terribly.

Ibaka is a nerly 40% 3pt shooter, but for some reason Billy D doesn't want him taking them, especially above the break (which was his specialty along with the corner under Brooks) so you'll see him catch the ball there wide the **** open, start to shoot, then do some weak dribble hand-off screen nonsense. I understand creating s more robust offense, but at the end of the day whatever you do has to fit the skills of your personnel. Ibaka should be shooting when he is open. You allso end up with Ibaka taking more 21ft 2s than ever right now too.

Westbrook and KD are fine. WB;s defense could still be addressed, but basically he's far from the reason we lose.

Not enough Morrow, I understand he's a bad defender, but he needs to get minutes and when he does, needs to get shots.

DJ and Kyle Singler, failure of a trade, both stink. Get Payne in there, no way he can play worse than DJ at this point. Doesn't defend, doesn't pass, isn't making shots. Only got signed because he used to be KD's hommie at UT

The biggest thing too with Billy D, that Brooks eventually figured out, was staggering the starters' rest. These all bench units to start the 2nd and the 4th are losing us games, flat out.

Nick Collison is stealing money, needs to go be a family man, run for political office here as he's so revered, turn the state Blue (Liberal).

The Josh Huestis thing, don't get me started. Yea he's just the 15th man, but you could still have someone there who could give you something if ever called upon, even bought PJ3 back but like a KJ McDaniels too didn't he get sent down and his rights renounced.

Kantner, if he's going to be here, needs more touches. I saw some #s on lineups with the starters and him instead of Adams and offensively it was like 150 or something stupid. He has amazing hands to catch and finish and quick putbacks, so him with Russ has always been great offensively. The spacing of throwing KD and Ibaka in there too only enhances options. I like him catching on the move and offensive putbacks even better than pure post ups. Save those for when he plays with the all subs lineup. It's not a backup 5 out there who can check him and you limit Dion's nonsense stepbacks
