As the slump continues for the Dallas Mavericks, questions about the investments in the current roster, become the focal point. Was Wesley Matthews worth the hefty price Dallas gave him? Is Chandler Parsons worth a maximum contract? Why the acquisitions of four average point guards?
The Mavericks must now scratch and fight their way to earn a playoff spot. If possible, they would like to avoid playing the defending champs, the Golden State Warriors, in the first round. They played a decent game with them in Dallas Friday night, but certainly would not last seven games.
