It’s Deja vu all over again. The Dallas Mavericks have started the season flat. Although some of the faces may have changed, this year’s team looks almost like a carbon copy of last season’s team that sputtered in the opening months. Their record reflects it.
Sixteen games in the regular season, Dallas sits at 9-7 with several bad losses under its belt. The Mavericks held the same record after 16 games last season. They again look like a team struggling to find an identity, but after a run to the Western Conference Finals last season, Dallas cannot wait for a midseason trade to right the ship.
