Very well written. I would also add that bad shooting has also contributed for much worse O rating and it is difficult to attribute this to any of the written causes (Powell or Luka). Perhaps it was just a consequence of small sample and it will get back to "normal" levels.
The other thing that was somewhat obvious was the approach to games. Mavs looked very different against Lakers, Charlotte or Chicago than against Houston, Clippers or Miami. With the exception of Phoenix it was either a blowout win or blowout loss while Mavs were very stable in their offensive production. They were bad mostly. The difference were opposing teams in our wins, where they really sucked. I like to think part of it was also a very good defense and effort in those games. Let's hope Mavs can show same effort and win against a team that will score a normal percentage of shots.
Mavs 3pt% in losses (LAL, Cha, Chi): 40, 28, 26
Mavs 3 pt% in wins (LAC, Mia, Hou): 34, 32, 41
Opp 3pt% in losses: 48, 45, 35
Opp 3pt% in wins: 12, 21, 27
