2-of-8, no one gave him a pass, and after leaving the Warriors, he realized that Curry was the best partner

The NBA regular season continued, and today the Mavericks and Lakers had a key battle, Doncic returned to the home court of his old club, the Mavericks, a series of emotional eruptions, and Doncic also delivered a high-scoring performance. Of course, the game ended with the Lakers' victory. The Mavericks still have a chance of making the playoffs, but judging by the state the Mavericks are showing on the court today, it may be difficult for them to make a big difference this season.

Judging from today's game, the Mavericks' tactical system is very chaotic, and the players are basically fighting separately on the court. After Doncic left, no one could thread the needle, so the Mavericks had a lot of strong shots in the half. In a blink of an eye, Thompson has also been with the Mavericks for nearly a season, but Thompson does not seem to be playing happily with the Mavericks this season, his average playing time this season does not reach the qualified playing time of a starter, strictly speaking, the playing time of substitute players, and he was abandoned by the head coach again at the last moment today.

Today, Thompson shot just 2-of-8 from the field and scored six points in the game. We can clearly feel that it is very difficult for Thompson to score consistently in the Mavericks at present, because no player is willing to create opportunities for him, he has many shots against the opponent's defense or takes the initiative to attack after he gets the ball, and few teammates create opportunities for him or the team sets tactics for him. So you'll find that Thompson's performance with the Mavericks this season has been up and down.

For example, if Thompson is still in the Warriors, maybe the Warriors players will still firmly believe in Thompson, especially Curry will continue to make the ball for Thompson and let him find his touch. It wasn't until Thompson left the Warriors that he really understood Curry's preciousness. He deeply understood that Curry was the best partner of his career and the most selfless player. It can only be said that Thompson made a terribly wrong choice after the end of last season. The wrong choice could have left him with regret later in his career.
