P.J. Washington could have been speaking for the entire Mavericks’ organization on Monday.
“I’ve never been a part of a season like this,” he said. “(All you can do is) stay positive about it. We’re here in postseason play and a lot of teams don’t even get this opportunity. I tell everybody to make the most of it and see how far we can go. Obviously, we feel like we can make the playoffs and that’s the goal.”

It truly has been “one of those years” for the Mavericks. The injuries hit early, they hit late and they hit hard.
