No team has won more games this season than Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. I’m fascinated by a new wrinkle that Jason Kidd and the coaching staff has thrown in.

Welcome to this week’s Tom’s Title Tiers. A reminder: This is my subjective list based largely on objective data. This is not a pure, analytical ranking. You’re here because you want to know what I think, to get inside my brain a little bit. Consider this a weekly report of what I see on film; what I glean from the numbers; what I hear on the phone; what I read in the news; what I feel.

I’m also going to write about one team each week. 

This week’s featured squad: the Dallas Mavericks.

I’ll go a little deeper later, but here’s a quick rundown of each tier.

Tom’s Title Tiers

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a complete team, no notes.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just missing that one thing.
⭐⭐⭐ One move away from being one move away.
⭐⭐ So much has to break right.
⭐ Sooo you’re saying there’s a chance.

So, where do I put the Mavericks and the rest of the contenders? And which teams got demoted this week?

Let’s find out.
