Mavs
simple poll, who's the best as of the end of 2010?
i'm including the top 4 teams in each conference, so take your pick, and explain why if you want.
i'm taking dallas right now, but if the spurs can win in dallas this week it would probably swing my opinion, maybe.
they have had the most impressive run so far, knocking off every major contender they have faced.
Mavs
Mavs. Wins over boston, heat, and spurs, the teams I would pick as the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best teams respectively. Two wins over the heat in fact.
Jazz. Duh.
i think if you put the mavs first, the spurs have got to be at the very worst, a very close second.
so close in fact the with a win this week (spurs win) i'd have to put them as 1st, and the mavs 2nd.
followed by celtics, then heat. (due to their head to head meetings.)
the spurs (thanx in large part to the mavs beating all the front runners) are probably the best team i can remember in quite a while at kinda running under the radar.
Eli Porter's the best mayne, he did it!
Mavs (winning that December championship, once again)
I say the Celtics when they get healthy. Mavs look good too though.
I went with Dallas. Very hard to go against the C's, though. They still scare me more than any other team.
true. i havent even really mentioned the celts, which is not to say they are not right there with the spurs and mavs.
its so close between the spurs, mavs, and celts, that one could make a legitimate case for any one of the three.
the fact that there are a good number of really tough ones makes for a really interesting season.
hopefully the lakers will get it together soon and join the mix.
I think it's clearly Dallas and Boston. Apart from LA, SA has probably had the easiest schedule for any contending team. Though, good on them for winning these cupcakes, and seemingly winning all of their close games.
IMO the Celtics and Mavericks are the best, with Spurs barely trailing.
Why is atlanta on here?
Why are the Lakers on there?
ya, i think orlando is a better team, but i just went with the top4 seeds in each conference as they stand today.
i figured it really wouldnt matter since the thread is "who is best",,,, and they dont really stand as that "contender team",,,,,,, at least right now.
could that change? yes, and i expect they will get better, and climb in the standings, but not yet.
i know they beat the spurs, but there are cir stances that i think must be considered.
the spurs were on the 2 night of a b2b.
add to that that they were on the road
add to that that they had played 5 games in 7 nights leading up to that
add to that that several of those 5 games in 7 nights were close games that the spurs had to fight for.
not taking anything away from orlando, they won the game, and i think they will get better as the season wears on and arenas finds his spots.
they probably should have been in the poll, but at this point they aint gonna win the voting so ,,,,,,, you know, it.
Atlanta!
the top 4 seeds in each conference are in the poll.
I like the Celtics this early part of the season.
Atlanta put in OKC...screw top 4 bull .
Why not just have the poll say "which team do you like?"
That's how the votes go.
Mavs/Celts > Spurs > Heat
Spurs NO WHERE near 1st until they can play more than 1qtr of good defense.
Surprised the mavs are number 1. I'll take it but I don't expect them to win a world championship. I expect the Lakers to get it together. They need Bynum in the starting lineup though as Gasol is getting beat up physically at center.
is mavsfan1000 a Laker fan?..he is like HarlemHeat's Miami Heat shtick x 1000
So far:
1- Dallas
2- Boston
3- San Antonio
4- Miami

6- Chicago
7- Oklahoma City
8- LA
9- Orlando
10- Atlanta
OKC 7th. I always knew you were a Durant believer.
Uh it's called disappointment over many years of high expectations. Playoffs are always a big difference from the regular season.
So far:
1- Dallas
2- Boston
3- San Antonio
