The new number seven seed in the western conference is the Dallas Mavericks. They have lost their last two, and three of their last four games. the Mavs dropped down because they can’t seem to beat the big teams anymore. Many people including myself believed that Kidd would be the missing piece for Dallas, but I am starting to wonder. If the Mavs want to get their money’s worth out of this trade then they have to start winning games against the teams that matter, or they aren’t going to even see the playoffs. All of this being said, I still believe that Dallas will be the number five seed come the playoffs.
