The Mavs sit at 10 right now and have been more injured than last season, played some of their worst basketball, and still no Kyrie. I just have a hard time seeing how they get all the way down to 5-6, where those TOP guys are.
Your tricky situation description is pretty accurate.
Yeah, Mavs have been awful for most of the year. AD and the centers have missed most of the season. They had terrible point guard play, poor shooting and Flagg has been figuring things out. With all that they were still in a ton of games late. I find it hard to believe with AD back (for now), average pg play (maybe better), better shooting and Flagg getting comfortable that this team isn't going to win. It may not be a ton, but maybe more than they lose.
