While the ride has been turbulent at times, the Mavericks are proud owners of a three-game winning streak.
They have a chance to close out the five-game home stand with a 4-1 record on Monday against Brooklyn.
We can all talk about how the Mavericks have had a great chance to win all eight of their games so far.
They also could have lost a couple of the ones they ended upwinning.
So for now, they are probably right where they need to be, which is 5-3 with some quality wins at Brooklyn and at home against Toronto.
