I got action on this game...hopefully one thing goes right today :lol

Ain't that the truth. Christ, what a f'in' nightmare of a Sunday. & I never saw it comin'.

At home, Deads, without Anderson, Affalo, etc.

While he's gotten a lot better guarding his man, Dirk has to be the worst 7 foot help defender in the game. It's ridiculous how guys will drive right into him and it's an automatic layup

HCA is one of the biggest reasons they won the Finals last year. They'll need it over MIA and BOS (and currently have it)...maybe Chicago too but I don't see them getting out of the East.

They don't need HCA in the West, though...it'd be a luxury, not a necessity.

I'm trying to have a legitimate conversation with you, but each time you say something retarded it throws me off and you give me no choice but to ridicule you.

The Spurs aren't getting past the Lakers. This is not a trolljob, this is truth.

They are ill-equipt to handle the Lakers' size and they have no elite defensive players anymore (although Duncan is still very good).

The Spurs will play hard like they always do, but it's not a question of heart. It's all about personnel, and they either don't have it, or refuse to use/develop it (Splitter).

WCF is your ceiling. Coming into the year, wouldn't you have accepted that? Don't change your expectations, the fantasy is going to end abruptly when the WCF start

DeadlyDynasty

Like TampaDude says:::"Anything is possible." Doubtful yes, but, it's my wish list.

If we have to go up against Chicago that is fraught with peril. I don't believe they can't beat us straight up, but, I can see NY & Stern arranging for them to wiseguy us out of it. Chicago is the fair haired boy comin' up. Stern will leave us & Boston alone for 7 games.

The Heat? I don't know.

Agreed, in the end I think there a year away. All they lack is experience, but Perkins definitely brings that with him.

Depending on how things play out this postseason I'm probably going to put a couple bills down on them winning the title next season (if there is a season).

Another quintessential Mavs season: great regular season, followed by a first-round "upset" at the hands of a younger, more athletic team. Rinse, Wash, Repeat. There won't be a Mavs-Lakers series in Round Two.

Mavs can beat Memphis in a series... NO without West too. Especially with home court... They just need to weather the storm and hold on to that #3 seed.

You can beat LA every now and then by playing a near perfect game, like Denver did. Beating them 4 out of 7 times is a diff. story.

Actually, Denver almost threw the game away... and they were trailing most of the game... far from perfect. LA will be tough to beat at Staples during playoffs though.

LA has advantages on both teams in the frontcourt, but the Heat have James and Wade. The Heat will make it out unless they have to go to Boston.

Spoelstra???? Too many questions, IMO.

If both teams are healthy, I think it will be a fun series, and none of the crushing you're talking about. I think HCA could be key.

We have a sub .500 record on the road, but you have to remember we've spent half the season with 9 healthy bodies and no center. We're finally healthy and we have Gerald Wallace now. We're going to be hell for any team to play in the playoffs.

1-3 on the road since GWallace was traded. The only win was against us, playing without TP/TD/Manu...

Miami can overcome any LeBron choke job because Wade is there. Bibby, while not as potent as 2002, can be clutch too. The question for Miami since day 1 is how are their bigs gonna hold up in a 7-game series.

Boston has this problem too but Chicago will eat their bigs alive. Asik is really turning out nice for them

Wade can only cover so much... he needs to carry Lebron, Bosh, and the rest of the team? Bibby is okay. Let's not exaggerate here. Spoelstra will be tested.

And I guess that game where we spanked the Hest in Miami doesn't count, huh? :lmao

The Spurs are the last team I'm worried about. He'll we beat you guys when you were healthy and we were playing with 5 guys on the IR and we didn't have a center! :lol. Is it ...9 out of 11 we've beaten you now? :lmao

You're in for a very sad story.

This game was an epic fail. I would honestly not be surprised if this was a premonition of what we're going to see in the playoffs. The Mavs just don't have confidence. It was taken from them by Stern and his minions. Fuckin' Mark Cuban. That guy has royally screwed the Mavs from ever getting a championship in my opinion. I like the Mavs and I'm glad that they've had this long run of playoff appearances but I'm just mad that the title chances are very slim right now. Cuban owns the team. He needs to realize that shooting 3 pointers is not gonna win you a championship. He's gotta get a good big man who can score in the paint and be a force.
