Per ESPN.com: The defending NBA champion Mavericks might not be a popular pick after remodeling their roster due to financially motivated decisions, but their superstar believes they're still the team to beat despite some early-season struggles.
"I haven't seen one team in the West that I'm scared of," Nowitzki said. "I really haven't. I think we can compete with all of them. Oklahoma City has probably the best record, but I think we've played them well every time we've seen them and everybody else has been up and down."
If Dirk and Dallas aren't scared of anyone, and the Wolves have already defeated the Mavericks twice, does that mean the Wolves shouldn't be afraid of anyone as well?
