After Wednesday night's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, the Dallas Mavericks fell to 2-6 on the season, officially claiming the title as the worst team in the Western Conference. Dallas and New Orleans are now tied as the bottom team in the West at 2-6, and the first two weeks of the season have gone worse than any fan imagined.
Most fans thought that Dallas would be a play-in team by the time the end of the season rolled around, as Kyrie Irving likely won't return until 2026, and they'd have to play plenty of catch-up, but no one thought it would be this bad.
