THE CRUCIFIX: Cato: Wood isn't thrilled w/ his role...Will depart in the summer

[Scott41theMavs]

Yeah if Luka keeps playing like this and stays healthy then a top 3/4 seed is very possible 
I just hate we've thrown away so many winnable games already
We should be the #1 seed now with the room to drop when Luka inevitably has to sit a week or 2 at some point. Now we don't have any wiggle room for a hurt Luka

My argument against your thought process is that the crazy losses were earlier in the season. They were still acclimating to the absence of Brunson and figuring things out. They seem to be righting the ship. 

I have to hand it to the (this year) hated Jason Kidd - he has adjusted their style of play quite well to the absences of Green, DFS, and Maxi. And Wood's defense (!) has made it possible to continue to win with those three top defenders out. 

I do agree that San Antonio is a major test as noted above.
