I think it was their losing streak in January right after Lively broke his nose and Kyrie hurt his thumb that I thought this was a lost season due to injuries. Exum also was out during that stretch too.
Mavs were 26-23 at that point having blown so many leads and lost 7 of their last 9. Since then they have gone 24-7 and have looked dominant. And 5 of those 7 losses happened in a single week.
What a weird season.
