If there is one area the Dallas Mavericks have to turn things around in, it is their defense. The Mavericks have struggled mightily in recent seasons to slow down opponent’s offensive attacks, as their defensive rating has worsened six consecutive years and counting.

For Dallas to get over the hump when it comes to the postseason, they need to play better defense. The postseason made it painfully obvious that they do not have the horsepower to outscore opponents consistently, such as the Brooklyn Nets.
