The Dallas Mavericks played a solid game against a talented Indiana Pacers team, and yet there were some major questions presented by the Mavs performance.

In the NBA, there are 82 games in the season, and that doesn’t include preseason games or playoffs. If a scientist performed an experiment where he tested 82 subjects, he wouldn’t base his results off of one subject. It simply doesn’t make sense to make judgements without a proper sample size.

However, last night the Mavericks played only the first game of the season, and yet my mind was flooded with doubt, questions, and hopes. So, here are my knee jerk, completely unfounded, crazy overreactions from last nights overtime loss.
