Mavs lost to the C's because they were flat-out the better team. This year, however, they seem to be less dominant at this point. If they aren't hitting 3's, they can be had. But it's very seldom that occurs. Maybe they pick it up after the AS break, heading towards the stretch run. That's when you'll see what teams are contenders for the title. I know Cleveland isn't going anywhere and they just picked up DeAndre Hunter.
