MAVS NEWS:

[KillerLeft]

Listening to this DLLS podcast and I guess I need to mentally prepare myself for this season being a gap year.  All three guys have the Mavs around .500 and as a play in team.

I guess the question is whether Nico is being patient on purpose  or whether he really thinks this roster can compete for at top 4 seed.

Harrison absolutely thinks they can compete, as do many people here. 

Personally, I think more skill with the ball on offense and more on-ball defense is needed pretty desperately, but we'll see. 

There's a large segment of NBA fans (Mavs fans included) who believe more size = more talent. I've always thought their understanding of the game was a little sophomoric, but unless a trade comes down soon that we don't see coming, we're about to find out once and for all if they're right. Part of me welcomes the opportunity to definitively point to this upcoming season when those arguments break out in the future. And, hey, if I've been wrong all these years, the Mavs are about to have a great season, so...you know, win-win.
