'Half rebuilding' Mavericks hope to make playoffs

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The return to Oracle Arena reminded Andrew Bogut of just how much his situation has changed from a season ago.

Of course, the Dallas Mavericks' record is basically a daily reminder. Dallas headed home from its two-day West Coast trip at 2-6 after Wednesday’s white-flag-waving 116-95 loss to Golden State, when Harrison Barnes was the only one of the Mavs’ top six players to step foot on the court. By comparison, the record-setting Golden State team that Bogut and Barnes played on last season didn’t lose its sixth game until March 6.
