Maybe I just have to change my expectation as they are not a contender. Every team has those 6, 7, 8 or more games where they don't have it and get run out of the gym. Those games happen. My disappointment is the other losses. You are going to lose games. But I feel when you beat good teams (outside of these stinkers), you really feel like you had to play well and work to get the win. Mavs have had too many games where they put up little resistance. It is concerning.
Maybe it is the injuries or maybe they are a 6-9 seed and that is what happens. But I would like to see more competitiveness as the season goes on.
Mavs aren't a big team, as they aren't very good at offensive or defensive rebounding. They have no size outside of Lively. Luka is their best rebounder, and that really shouldn't be the case. Adding more big wings or a good 5 man that can rebound, would give them more possessions.
