To me, the relevant thing for the Mavs this season is home vs. away. I can't remember another version of the Mavs (who were supposed to be decent) who had quite this much trouble winning on the road. The first iteration of this current team who figured out how to win (maybe the year before the pandemic?) was actually much better on the road. I remember them getting asked about it all the time and saying the extra bonding time was a boon...team dinners and such.
That leads me to believe that maybe more time together has been a negative this season, maybe?
Either way, I've gotten to the point where it's not the quality of the opponent that worries me so much as the game circumstances. This game tomorrow night, for example: The Spurs are terrible, but they're coming off of a big win against NY and it's a road game. For this turnaround to keep going, beating bad teams on the road has to start happening. SO, this is kind of a big one tomorrow, I think.
