Question: Do you think the Mavs decided (for the sake of bagging a few wins to potentially save the regular season from being lost) to fix the offense before getting back to fixing the defense?
Hey, fifteenth, great to see you.
That is an interesting question. Upon reflection, I am inclined to think it just happened that way, maybe because the players who have been with us longer than this season have a certain amount of muscle memory related to their once historically great offense, and that everyone getting healthy gave that a chance to kick in. Whereas they don't have any built-in chemistry defensively.
However, iirc, when the players talk about what they have been working on lately, a lot of it has seemed to tilt in the offensive direction, so quite possibly the Mavs did make a special effort to get their ailing offense kickstarted.
I still have some hope that O/D won't always be an either/or proposition for this group. Call me the eternal optimist, lol.
