The bad news for the Dallas Mavericks is that they’re 0-3. The good news is that Harrison Barnes is having a better start to the regular season than he did to the preseason. After shooting in the 20 percentile in the preseason, Barnes has scored 19, 31 and 10 through his first three games.

I know this doesn’t add to the win column right now, but the fact that Barnes isn’t a total train wreck has to be great news for everyone in that organization. Especially after the way he looked during preseason.
