There is a huge disparity between how the Mavs have been performing at home and away lately.
22-4 in the last 26 at home I believe. 4-10 in the last 14 on the road.
It's troubling, but I'm not sure if it's a matter of effort or a matter of the team simply being not that good.
The roster has many gaping holes, sometimes a flawed roster trying but failing gives off the impression that they're not trying at all.
The one thing I have issue with is the defensive decline. Considering we were a solid defensive team 2 years ago (not great, but solid), and have many of the same pieces in place, why can't we at least be a good defensive team instead of average?
The offensive talent has declined, which explains the drop in offensive efficiency... but should the defense have regressed this badly?
The boys in blue would have 2-3 more wins this year if they played defense like they used to.
