We finished with the same record as the Lakers and Blazers.
Davis missed 36 games, LeBron missed 17 games and replaced Schroeder with Westbrook.
The Blazers played without Nurkic for 35 games and McCollum for 25 games.
Then there is the Warriors team, who finished three games behind us (going 2-7 without Steph), who will get Klay Thompson back.
Barton and Murray missed 25 games each for the Nuggets.
Kawhi and PG13 missed 20 games each for the Clippers.
Conley and Mitchell missed 20 games each for the Jazz.
No one ever suggested they didn't.
But it can be easily argued that the Mavs season was far more chaotic and tumultuous than all or most of these other teams. Did any of those teams have a locker room on the verge of collapsing (thank God for Boban keeping it from happening!)?
