On today's show, how did we even get here?

It wasn't ever supposed to be this bad for the Dallas Mavericks.

But we are, and I'll tell you, today's Locked on Mass.

This is Cooper Flagg, and you're listening to Locked on, Five.

Explain my since I'm sorry.

Today's episode, I want to talk about why the Mavericks offense is so bad, breaking it down, why it's different than it was last year. We'll talk about some of the big things the Mabs are doing this year that it's just so bad. Jason Kidd said that they're just missing shots. How true is that? Diving into some of the numbers on that. And then I went back and I looked at a bunch of our predictions from before the season.

Like how did we even get here?

We had such high hopes, or at least we had such mediocre hopes for the Dallas Mavericks.

And it's even worse than we could have even anticipated.

So we'll go through some of the predictions we got really wrong already, like eight games,

10% of the way through the season.

Well, let's start here. How do we get here? Because the Dallas Maverger 2 and 6, they've had this pretty easy schedule if you look at it, played the Wizards, play the Pelicans without Zion, they've played the Pacers in their current state, they've played the Raptors and they're still trying to figure things out, They have not had that hard of a schedule. They've only played one actual road game and one game in Mexico City. They have not had a very tough schedule at all. They have had injuries. Anthony Davis has missed multiple games. Derek Gladly's missed multiple games. Obviously no Kyrie. Still know Dante Exum and no even word about anything about Dante Exum and if he's ever going to play.

And so you're like, all right, well, they've had some issues.

Okay, sure.

But 30th in the NBA in offense, dead, absolute freaking last.

The Mavs, this stat is just blowing my mind still.

I posted this the other day,

and I talked about it on the post game show

it slightly, if you missed that one.
