  The latter has been a problem for the Mavericks for several years. We’ll get to that in a moment.
  But since they are starting the 2021-22 season with two road games, it’s that part of the equation that they must address Saturday in Toronto.
  Having a 1-1 trip to start the season is perfectly acceptable, even if the opener was a massive blowout loss in Atlanta. By the end of the se
