To knee-jerkers from the one-time king of knee-jerkers...

I have to be encouraged by the showing from last night. Portland is a quality team. Of the next three opponents, at this time, I put them ahead of LA and behind DEN. For DAL to play that well in Game 3 is encouraging. The Mavs are going to be a slow burn. As long as they remain healthy, they'll get better and better as the minutes start piling up and the familiarity builds within the sets and rotations.
