Results for Dallas last week were 3-0. Dallas has won it’s last 5, and 7 of its last 8.
Good catch, Ken. I actually rushed to get this thing out on Xmas eve. Hopefully, the rest is all accurate.
As far as the Mavs go, all season long I have been been alternating between thinking that Dallas’ is:
a) is a top contender for the title; or
b) that their window has closed.
Their recent form definitely has me leaning towards putting them in the Championship contender category.
