The Dallas Mavericks have had a really difficult season, and the MFFLs maybe even more so. This offseason was a scary one for the Mavs as it went from looking really bright, to really bleak, to hopeful in a matter of weeks.
Then, right when things were seemingly falling in place, they all fell apart. Injuries to Deron Williams, Dirk Nowitzki, Andrew Bogut, Seth Curry, Devin Harris, and J.J. Barea took their toll on the team. It has never really been very bright since then.
Any team will tell you that injuries will always play a huge role in the success of a team.
