I wish I knew. It would be alot easier to watch this season knowing if their psyche is damaged or not.
It also sucks that we won't even start knowing until after 82 games are over with and the playoffs start.
Mav's 6th in Stein's Rankings: Just how damaged is the psyche of this team?

Stein has the mavericks below detroit, houston, and boston heading into training camp.
What bull this is. Detroit is a year older, Boston hasn't proven anything yet as they have no quality point guard or center, and Houston hasn't proven anthing yet either.

I really want to see how Avery does this year. This is a huge year for Avery, to see if he stays on the fast track to being an elite-level coach, or if he slips and falls.
He keeps saying Harris is the man at PG, but if things start slowly I can see him pulling the plug on that and going with a Terry/Harris mix like last year.
That's the part that really gets me
I almost don't even want to pay attention to the regular season or watch any games, because I might only be setting myself up for a letdown
he is calling them out because they choked vs. the 8th seed. pretty logical
Who cares? The best thing they can do is use the hate for motivation and fuel. We live in a society that can't grasp big picture or long-term. As it relates to basketball, the writers only remember the last game. They should use the disrespect and the scorn as a tool to prove people wrong.
As a spurs fan, I still see the Mavericks as the team the Spurs have to beat to come out of the west. Who knows how it will turn out, but winning 67 games is no fluke.
Cleveland went to the Finals last year and are ranked #7. Miami won it all two years ago and while they'll be recovering from injuries still have Shaq and Wade and they're ranked #20.
Quit your ing. You're lucky you're not ranked below Golden State.
Ditto the previous poster. I respect the Mavs and I know the Spurs are in for a tough series if they tangle next May or June.
IMO, the thing Mavs should avoid at all cost to do this year is over-analyzing every little details. If they just play their games, they will be fine.
Marc Stein has us at 6th? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO were doomed!!!
Before the Mavs came into the league I was the hugest 76er fan. What the Mavs have gone through is nothing compared to them back in the day, and even they finally got their championship.
Shouldn't Cleveland and Miami be ahead of you than based on that argument?
bad link
Cleveland, sure, even though they have not signed Varejao or Pavlovic yet. I wouldn't have a problem with that. Miami why? Miami lost in the first round last year. We're not coming off the 2005-06 season.
Alright fixed.
who cares about rankings at this point
unless the Mavericks go into the toilet, this is going to be one boring ass regular season for Mavs fans.
Why is that? Should be fun seeing Harris and Howard develop and a blend of the new guards of Hassell and Eddie Jones fit with this team. I would like to see Harris more at the point guard to make this team more exciting.
I will help Mav fans get through the regular season. Guys dont forget my GAME DAY threads will get blood flowing and emotions rolling! I am slowly getting back all my motivation. The journey to the 2008 le begins on the road against the Cavs. Ahhh I can ALMOST taste the season coming back and me being rejuvinated! LETS GO MAVS! LETS GO MAVS! LETS GO MAVS!
I can't wait!
Screw youI can't wait!
I'd like to see Harris be able to stay on the court and not be in foul trouble the first three minutes of the game. But other than that I agree with you entirely.
Yeah but it's 82 games of nothing as far as the Mavericks proving anything. They could go 82-0 and nobody would be impressed or think they could win it all.
It will be interesting to see if Avery attempts to control his flopping this year. I'm guessing if he doesn't, teams are going to take advantage. He was able to hide (kind of) behind Jason Terry as the backup PG, but now teams are going to specifically target his weaknesses and attempt to pressure him. Should be interesting to see how he matches up against some of the league's bigger PGs.
