I could have predicted you'd say that. You could very well be right. But it may also be that they are actually getting a bit better. It hasn't mattered much because the teams above them are also winning - Clippers, Portland, Golden State, Phoenix - are all playing well and are secure above the Mavs. Only Memphis looks now like they could fade to a weaker position than the Mavs.
