It is kind of funny though that the Mavs don't look as bad as they did in the early part of the season. Perhaps the perimeter shooting alone makes a difference, but something seems a little different. They move well, get to their spots, get back on defense... and they do all this without two of the best players in the league. Good coaching? Effort from guys like Dwight Powell and Cisse? Probably lots of things. Maybe they're pretty good. Not really good. Just pretty good.
I think they ran into the king of tanking teams twice, and then a poorly coached team that thought they could waltz through a game against a tanking team while the Mavs shot out of their minds from 3. My guess is that they will come back down to earth soon.
