about the Mavs lost to the Sixers. We'll talk about Anthony Davis's return, ramping up again.

We'll talk about flag. Is he hitting a rookie wall? Talk about Max Christie, talking about

Najee Marshall. Mabs have issues, and none of them are new. The Mab's point guard problem is just a disaster for this team, I think.

You watch a game like this and you just realize and you see how often this team just does not have a point guard to go to plays.

Like to set up things, to run them into actions, to get something easy for them. Offense seems hard. It seems like a trudge. You need Max Christie driving on mismatches. You need Cooper Flag having a flurry. You need Anthony Davis having a really good game. And those things are too few and far between for the Mavericks to rely on it. The Mavs didn't get anybody with 20 points in this game. Max Christie led the way with 18 points. And a really interesting decision by Jason Kidd. First quarter, I thought Ryan Nimhard played pretty well. He had four points and two assists in the first like three minutes the game, got them off to a pretty quick start. The Mavs' offense looked like it was humming. Mavs scored 33 points in that first quarter, and then they scored 24, 26, and 25 points the rest of the way.

And Ryan Nymard only played three minutes and 49 seconds in the second half. Now, there could be

an injury that comes up, maybe something that I didn't see or didn't hear about, definitely

something to watch out for. But I thought that was interesting that see or didn't hear about. Definitely something to watch out for.

But I thought that was interesting that he just didn't play much at all in the second half.

Brandon Williams got the majority of the minutes in the second half because DeAngel Russell is also out with an injury of this game.
