The road ahead looks unforgiving
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening Mavs fans. Welcome to your monthly lounge post, where you talk about whatever comes to mind. Here’s last month’s in case you need to link back to any conversations.
The Mavericks aren’t in a good spot right now but what they have going for them is they are in the middle of a morass in the West where the teams getting separation seem to only be the Grizzlies and the Thunder. If the Mavericks are near .500 when Doncic comes back, I give them a pretty good chance to be a spoiler for the top seeds in the Western conference.
The problem though, is that everyone else needs to stay somewhat healthy and the Mavericks have to win some games. The schedule is kind of averse to that. We’ll see though!
We’re also starting to peak ahead at the draft. Dallas owns the 2025 pick and I think they need to use it to draft another big. Gafford is going to be too expensive. Mavs fans get mad at him but he’s the best back up big since 2011.
Anyway, y’all know where to find me. Thanks for choosing to spend your time here. Go Mavs.
