No way. The Mavs have been creating a terrible habit of blowing leads. It is in their heads. This is a CLOSING issue, not even remotely a first quarter issue. Yes, I get the trite and tired argument of "energy to dig out of a hole" but give me a break, they expended NO energy getting into the hole, so over the long run it takes the same energy. I think it is an argument that everyone seems to use, but actually makes very little sense upon inspection.
Not even when shorthanded?
I suppose SEGABABA doesn't factor in either... (just yanking your chain)
