Game 5: Denver Nuggets (5-1) vs. Dallas Mavericks (4-1) | 114-125 loss

Disappointed in the result, but low key proud of the Mavs tonight. Almost nothing went right, but they hung in there and made it kind of a game in the end. We can’t underestimate how much more comfortable Denver is playing with each other coming off of a championship season.

All in all, I think the Mavs are off to a fairly good start this season.

For sure. Denver isn't the benchmark for the Mavs. They have a long way to go to get back into that conversation. For me it's more about the development. Today was a positive if we are talking about the mindset (except for Luka). And a reality check when it comes to talent/scheme/lineups.
