I know it's early but maybe does seem like this team is on the right track despite their record and the injuries. Interested to see how they come out tonight. Feel like the nerves are going to get to Klay, hope we don't just try to force 100 shots through him and play our game.
Yeah, not to mention that both Durant (before the recent injury) and Jokic are off to ridiculously amazing starts. Mix in the idea that the IND game was second night of a back to back (worst case scenario opponent for that) and it's pretty easy to rationalize the record, actually.
I think what's causing the uneasy undertone around here is that we just haven't really seen a convincing game out of the Mavs, except for maybe the Minnesota game. It's not the record, really - it's the question of if/when we're going to see them reach the next gear as far as level of play.
