Take aways?
- The Mavs are playing GOOD defense other than fouling a lot.
- The Mavs offense has been middling other than getting to the free throw line.
- The Mavs are shooting lots of threes and playing at a slow pace.
- The Mavs are in a good position in the standings and statistically while having played an average strength schedule the first 8th of the season without their second best player who should improve both the defense and the offense.
Big questions moving forward:
1) When does KP come back?
2) How many players (and games) are the Mavs going to lose due to COVID-19 protocols?
