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.
That's a perfect encapsulation of my feelings. The Mavs have not had a game where they've looked dominant. They may have a half or a single quarter where you can see the true potential of this team but it all falls apart.
I suppose that adds to my frustration too. Anyways, this game against GSW I hope they come out prepared.
