Dallas Fans Want More

The Mavericks are 12-5, which is not brilliant, but on the other hand not as bad as some people might think. Looking at the standings, there are two other teams with a 12-5 record, the Memphis Grizzlies and the L. A. Clippers. For any of these two teams, boasting a 12-5 record at this stage of the season is better than anyone had expected.

Mavs fans feel that hat?s good for the Cllipers and the Grizzlies may not be good for Dallas. After all, they have come to expect more from their team over the years. The Dallas Mavericks have been in a corner since the season started and
they still have a record of 12-5. Over the last five years the Dallas Mavericks have had to endure more change and more drama than any team
should have to be subjected too. They have had their whole identity changed and shuffled around so many times that it is doubtful they even know who they are.

So far this year, Dallas has seen its share of adversity. The Mavs had to start this season without their 6th man Jerry Stackhouse injured. Don?t forget that the Maverick also had to cope with Doug Christie retirement. So let?s give them a little bit more time to recuperate before labeling this season as a disappointment.
