On today's show, the Dallas Mavericks offensive issues are whole scale, but somebody's got to be to blame. Who is it? We'll talk about it. Today's Lockdown Mavs, and maybe it's his fault. This is Cooper Flagg, and you're listening to Lockdown Mall. So all of them is all fine. I think that's a good question. Good morning, Isaac. All these changes. No, I still got my dog Dwight Powell. You are off on mass.

and more difficult.

Every single time you tune in, they are really what kind of sucks is it feels like they've completely lost their ability to compete in these games.

We are at that point of the season where the maps don't feel like they can compete anymore.

And so I want to talk about the Hornets because I think the Hornets have been such an interesting story. Let's talk about what they can be in the NBA. We'll talk a little bit about Concanipple. Did Cooper Plag take the rookie of the year back just because of the game Concanipple had? We'll talk about the, we'll talk about all kinds of different things. John Pulakidis got his debut for the Mavericks.

We'll talk about that.

We'll talk about Bradio Williams. But I want to start here because the Mavs, like you said, they've lost their ability to seem seemingly to compete in games like this. And the Mavs offense is just awful. And it's been awful all year. It kind of doesn't even matter who's on the court. They had like a week or two weeks where they were kind of a competent NBA offense again.

It seemed like they were pushing the pace and they're getting things done in transition, which is what has been the only thing that's been successful for the Mavericks. But at this point in the season, we know what the deal is. We know that they've not, you know, that they've not played, they're not playing a ton of players that have been there even all season. But to have another game where you have a 90 offensive rating,

like,

no. We know that they've not, you know, that they've not played, they're not playing a ton of players that have been there even all season. But to have another game where you have a 90 offensive rating, like 90, like just absolutely nothing. And then you watch a team like the Boston Celtics without Jalen Brown, without their starting center. Like you watch teams like that and you go, man, like at least those teams. You watch the team like the, you team like the Utah Jazz without Lowry Marketing, Nurkich,

Jaron Jackson Jr., Walker Kessler, and they still will have competent, like, good games.

And I wonder just where the blame goes for something like that.

Is it just available talent?

Is it just the injuries?

Is it coaching? Is it about who's potentially, who's available between the guys that are out and whatnot? But it does, does not seem like

the Mavericks have any way of like competing on offense or even creating a feasible offense

because the big story of this game was the Mavs made three threes. Three.

There are three of 23 in this game and the Hornets were 20 of 51.

You got outscored by 51 points.

Yeah.
