Just putting this here so others can read.
"To be fair, the Mavs got what was probably the biggest turd sandwich in terms of scheduling among all teams. They've had the 3rd hardest schedule in the NBA in terms of quality of opponent. Surpassed only by the Heat (another hugely underperforming team ravaged by COVID) and Pistons.
Add on top of that brutal schedule, of the Mavs first 20 games 13 of them were road games, which included 3 B2B's and a stretch of 5 games in 7 nights. In comparison the Heat had 9 of their first 19 games as road games and 2 B2B's.
Thats before we even broach the fact the Mavs were missing 5-6 guys for the majority of that stretch that were all key role players. Putting it in that perspective, are we really surprised that they are underperforming this bad?"
I think if the Mavs dig down and stay the course they can turn it around. Hopefully they don't dig themselves a hole too big.
