They had great hopes going into the season, suffered because of injuries and health and safety procedures, and then went 20-10 during a blazing hot run that lasted from February until early April. With only twenty games left in the season, everyone is beginning to feel the grind as the dog days of the season have come.

With their clumsy offence and vulnerable defence, the Mavericks are stumbling towards the postseason. They have lost games lately that they ought to have won, and nobody appears to be in agreement. There have been moments when watching them has seemed like work. However, as we all witnessed last week, things may change quickly. Luka Doncic instantly demonstrated to the NBA how quickly he could transform a failure into a miracle during a gritty game against the Grizzlies on an unplanned Wednesday night in April.
