Two wins and two losses for the Mavericks this past week. The two wins came in opposite fashion: one dramatic against the Clippers, and one blowout against a shorthanded Nuggets team. The two losses, however, came with the same context: embarrassing losses to that same depleted Denver team and a Houston team fighting for the first pick in the draft.
Team grade: D-
The Mavericks continue to lose games in ways unfathomable to the average mind. Whether it’s to a team without its three best players or the worst team in the league, it’s inexplicable and unacceptable.
