I think the Mavs and Cowboys have a lot in common. Most notably in the way that they can come out and play well and win big or play poorly and lose big. You just never know what you're going to get. Most good teams have a repeatable recipe that they adhere to that dictates their identity. And with this Mavs team, their identity appears to be outside shooting so their success criteria is their ability to make 3's. If they fall, they win. If they don't fall, they lose. Sounds a lot like those 2000 - 2004 Mavs teams with Dirk, Finley and Nash.
