The Crucible of Sucking Creates Growth

Diamonds are made under pressure, warriors are created from pain, and sometimes team chemistry and growth comes from sucking. Every loss the Mavs take and every mistake they make are filled with lessons to be learned, and this young team has plenty more lessons that need to be taught.

Though times are dark now for the Dallas Mavericks, this period of time could prove the turning point in which they figure out how to win. While it is hard to be optimistic with the current situation, I will maintain faith that it will turn around.
