When we last left your Dallas Mavericks – this is Cowboys’ country, right? – they were opening the NBA season with a humbling 11-point loss to the Washington Wizards.

Tonight they travel to D.C. for … revenge? Naw, just to open the second half of the season.

In between wars with the Wizards the Mavs started 19-7 but are just 8-7 since. Are they good, great or elite even?

En route to a 27-14 first half they have road wins over the Lakers and Celtics but a home losses to the short-handed Warriors and, of course, the 14-26 Wizards. They are a West-best 14-7 on the road and are currently the second seed, but just as close to 11th as they are to 1st.
