I wouldn't be so worried about getting into playoffs. Mavs offense is so good that should get us through regular season. Problems start once defense levels go up. Mavs need to seriously improve their defense to become serious contenders.
I think I feel pretty confident aside from injuries which can disrupt any teams chances. Luka is a special player, you will have KP getting more comfortable, well-coached and whatnot. I still want a big talent upgrade. THJ had a nice season but the Mavs don't need to fall in love with him. He is the beneficiary of Rick and Luka. I can live with 1 more year of THJ if need-be but if they extend him I will go nuts. You are right about defense. Mavs need defense in a big way.
