I was listening to Cato's podcast and the Mavs regression could be really around 2 factors. Losing Jalen really eliminated 10-12 efficient two point scores from last year. The Mavs get very little two point shots. Add this to the fact they get very few offensive rebounds and limited fast break points, it really drains the offense where droughts are more likely. They are now so reliant on three point shots now. And they are good shooters, but not great. And some of these shooters are struggling.
On defense, they have no elite defenders but they were really tied together this year. This lead to a good defensive team. Just having a few guys not tied in on rotations, creates holes all over the place.
