Welcome to the first Mavericks’ mailbag of the regular season.
And what a first week of the schedule it has been. Don’t even try to fake it and claim that you had Portland and Utah as the top four seeds in the Western Conference after a little more than a week of play.
And if you had the Trail Blazers as the last unbeaten team in the West, you either are fibbing or you are banned in Las Vegas.
But what we can all say with complete truthfulness is that the Mavericks are a long way from being a finished product.
