Nobody was hit worse than Dallas or even close maybe besides MiamiI don't see the Mavs making the playoffs this year...that team is bad. They can make the excuse about Covid and injuries but there are plenty of other teams who are all figuring things out too this season but they're still looking a lot better. Mavs are entirely dependent on Luka playing 1 on 5 and either carrying them or hoping he can create open looks for their bad shooters.
They were missing their entire starting lineup besides Luka and 6th man at the same time
They aren't similar to these other teams who are "figuring things out"
But I agree, the Playoffs aren't some guarantee. They were already having to face the task of swapping out Seth for Richardson with no training camp. No KP to start the year. Powell coming back from the achilles
They might be behind the 8 ball now trying to figure things out on the fly and playing catch up all year
