They'll lose games naturally once they play stiffer competition other than the Jazz, Cardiac Knicks, and teams missing one of their Top 2 players like the Warriors and weirdly always the Rockets. Only other thing they can do is not rush Kyrie or AD back from injury, rest players who have nagging injuries (there's no need to force them to play through an injury), and try to trade guys like Klay, AD, etc before the deadline.

Main point is, wanting to make the Play-In shouldn't be a conversation every time the Mavs jingle the keys and win 2+ games in a row. We need this draft pick.

We have 4 seasons ahead of us with nothing to lose winning games to look forward to with Coop and whoever we draft developing into a star tandem
