I think the roster construction is flawed, which will be exposed the minute KP comes back. As you said - injuries actually did Mavs good, as they forced them to play lineups that fit together better. As soon as three of those four will play together, D will not be good anymore, imho. Offense is nothing special whole season, no matter what lineups we use.
I also think we lack the overall talent, which will be confirmed in the playoffs. I think Luka is the only player that can raise his game and the ceiling of the team. Other teams have way more reserves, imho, especially as some might get their star players back for the playoffs. I hope Mavs don't think this team is good enough to contend, changes are imho still needed and difficult decisions are before them.
