Back to the Dallas Mavericks Newsfeed

Mavericks fans know it's not good. Does national media know we know?

We frequently talk about the Mavericks in our email chain, as a basketball blog based in Dallas should, and the discussion on Tuesday seemed interesting enough to share. Here's an edited transcript of our staff discussing the state of the Mavericks, how the media is treating them and about realistic expectations for this team.

Bailey (@brogers789): This article may be the most conclusory thing I've read about the Mavs in a while.

Andrew (@kreighbaum): Seems like a lot of folks are working under the assumption that the team's fanbase still has big expectations for this season.
