NEW ORLEANS - Just when we're ready to raise the bar and expect more from the Mavericks, they remind us how far they have to go to be a finished product.
It usually happens on the road and their flaws were on full display Wednesday night. Just as a lot of tourists don't want what happens on Bourbon Street to follow them home, the Mavericks would just as soon forget everything that happened in the Big Easy, which is exactly what it was for the New Orleans Pelicans.
Then again, maybe they need to remember nights like this if it'll help them avoid repeating them.
