Of course. Point differential can point to important realities that are brewing below the surface......YET at the end of the day the NBA only deems win-loss record as meaningful. So I still take 4-2 all day, every day.
My biggest concern isn't the team's point differential sucking, it is Luka as the team worst -27.4 (-1.3 on O, -26.1 on D). If Luka doesn't turn that around the Mavs are screwed. If Luka does, then the whole team differential will look a LOT better.
