Lowe is really in love with Houston, otherwise he would have picked them and OKC out.
"Still, the lack of off-the-bounce verve in the starting lineup is alarming, and a ton of these dudes are coming off injury."
Who are this ton of dudes who are coming off injury for Mavs? In contrast to Memphis, major players for Mavs are actually able to play in the first game of the season.

I agree that his wording is a little strange, but Deron, Mejri, Devin, and Barea all had surgery this past summer. Bogut avoided surgery but got hurt late in the Finals. Not to mention Matthews having the devastating injury/surgery a little over 18 months ago and Harrison Barnes missing 16 games last winter.
I agree that Memphis has similar issues, but the Mavs are definitely in need of some good fortune health-wise if we want to make the playoffs this year.
