I will say that the team's response last night was encouraging! DAL on the 2nd of a B2B w/travel playing MIN coming off 2 days rest. Back in October I would have said this is a "schedule" loss, but the young guns proved me wrong and I'm excited about it.
I know one can talk about the NOP blowout letting the starters rest for a more even minutes distribution, but the first 3 quarters looked like MIN was going to take advantage of the short rest for DAL. Then Brunson happened, although it was really a group contribution to gut out the win.
I like the feel of the team and I think just letting the guys marinate together for a while is going to have positive results.
