Owner Mark Cuban is finally watching a playoff-contending team after some hard years in Dallas. The Mavericks are off to an impressive start behind Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. There have been inconsistencies, but the Mavericks are going to be in the mix. “I don’t think we’ve meshed completely yet,” Cuban said. “We’ve competed and put ourselves in a position to win and won some close games, but I don’t think we’ve really meshed yet. We’re still adjusting, so hopefully we can get a lot better. We’re recognizing who we are. [Porzingis] hasn’t played in 21 months, literally, and I’m excited because he’s a lot further along than I thought he would be at this point, a lot less rusty than I thought, and the rest is disappearing very quickly.”
