I know everyone likes to use covid as the excuse but all teams had to deal with it.
Personally think the schedule was just harder in the first half of the season. I see it as a positive because post all star break Mavs had one of the easiest schedules to take advantage of WITH everyone healthy.
Covid or not I don’t see the Mavs getting 48/49 wins out of 72 games. The 5 seed is where they should be and I’m happy to see the team realize that position.
