The only stat I care about so far is the team's net rating. Historically the team that wins the championship is always in the top 5 of net rating. I think the only outliers were the 1995 Rockets and the 2011 Mavs since they tracked the stat.
Mavs are currently 9th in the league. Meaning they're good but not great. I do think the COVID period is weighing the stat down and they're hopefully much better than 9th.
