I love our hot start, but this team as a whole has done zero yet. They are untested. Nobody wins awards for going 19-9 in the regular season. I'll say this is a great team after seeing what they can do in the playoffs, IF they make it. Remember nothing is guaranteed in the Western conference, and we should know better than anyone how a small move or injury can radically derail an entire season.
Meanwhile this entire Raptors team minus Kawhi and Green have scaled the playoff mountain and planted their flag. So they are historical and a great team.
Obviously my barometer for a great team is not championship or bust, but the Mavs are young and unproven. My whole point is that no wins are guaranteed and, as DrMav puts it, should treat every game as a must-win.
