Oladipo missed shots, but KP's length was bothering the Pacers. Sabonis is a great skilled scorer, and he will get his, but they don't have the personnel to bully the Mavs inside, and the Mavs seem to do well against opponents who cannot bully them inside.
This supporting cast is good. No I'm not overrating them. Our record against teams > 500 even with Luka is not that great. However, more often than not, we were in a lot of those games too. Luka + KP have still not fully gelled. Every team, including the Mavs will always want an upgrade in talent / toughness at certain positions. However, no need to rush and fall in love with players on other teams. For what we can give up, we are not going to get a stud back. So better be careful on who we give up from this cast and what we get back.
The best thing about this cast is that there is no immatturity or dumb celebrations after every other shot. They are serious, intense and try their best. Whatever talent deficiencies they have that seriousness and intensity makes up for quite a bit of it.
