What Happened to the Mavs????
Will say up front that I was super busy the past few weeks, so only actually watched some of the Mavs games in that stretch. I did keep up with the scores, though, and .... wtf happened? The Mavs had a stretch of home games, against lesser opponents, where they needed to make up some ground, and they fell apart. Why? Yes, have had a couple injuries lately, but they were losing prior to those, too. Zaza getting a DNP/CD? He was probably their most consistent player. Seems to suddenly be a lack of defense? But...why? The Mavs should be better than this. Parsons was playing perhaps the best ball of his career...and the Mavs were losing. Dirk was definitely playing his best ball in a couple years..and the Mavs were losing. Why? What happened? Inquiring minds want to know! :-)
Perhaps the scarier question (depending on the answers) is...what can the Mavs do to fix it? If the answer is just 'they aren't good enough'...that's going to be tough to correct, this year, or the next couple years.
