Yeah, they've been looking like the team that beat Dallas since Jackson got back. They just ran Houston into the ground last night.
I was so wrapped up in the Cowboys game I didn't even notice that the Warriors reamed Houston last night for their 5th straight win. Crazy stuff.

Their season will depend on Davis staying healthy is the only bad thing for them. He already looks like he's being held together by all those braces he wears.
shhhhh...
That's Dallas getting scared.

as pathetic as it is the mavs are probably tanking some games so that they can hover around the 4th or 5th seed to stay away from having to play the warriors in the play-offs.
it should be mentioned, though, that the mavs are perfect at being a bunch of pathetic girls when it comes down to it so this isn't revealing at all.
The Mavs are losing games because their defense sucks. They're not tanking. Given how well Golden State is playing right now, what makes you think they will end up with one of the last spots?
lol, Ronaldo McDonald. Giving da_suns_fan and SpursDynasty a run for their money, eh?it should be mentioned, though, that the mavs are perfect at being a bunch of pathetic girls when it comes down to it so this isn't revealing at all
Dallas might just get the 4th seed and I could see the Warriors getting the 5th. :shakes:
their d sucks because they are tanking games. ur quality of play tends to drop when you try to tank games. of course their d sucks.
Do you even watch basketball? First, you assume the Mavericks are so afraid of the Warriors that they would actively try to avoid a rematch. Second, there's no way to know 15 games into the season where Golden State will end up being seeded. Given how tough the West is, they could easily make it to the 5 spot with a few breaks.
Ahhh it's great to have Warrior chats starting here! Well the thing with Baron's body is now he has a full squad to support him so he doesn't have to get too physical or play too many minutes, and we have 5 players who have already scored 30 points in a game (the most in the NBA this season). Unlike Phoenix, we can play decent D now, as Tracy McGrady even admitted last night:
Jack is playing like an All Star, sadly, they only put him as a G on All Star balloting when he can play the 1, 2 or 3, and the G's are very compe ive, we're even worried BD might not make it. We're actually 8-2 in our last 10 games, so we're real hot, and I think the only team we can't beat is San Antonio and the only team we can beat but not in a 7 game series is Utah... but hopefully we can let Dallas TRY to take one of those out for us"They did a great job of taking Yao and myself out of the game," McGrady said. "Every time we touched the ball we had two guys hanging off us. Even before we touched the ball we had two guys hanging off us. Everybody talks about how they are not a good defensive team, but for us it's a just a bad matchup."
Still a long season though, we could still end up 8-74 so don't wanna jinx it yet.
The only teams GS cannot beat are Spurs and Jazz. I could see them giving Suns a of a series. And we all know about the mavs.
I don't think Mavs are tanking this early to avoid GS, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did later on the season if GS was definitely going to make the playoffs (which given that BDavis remains healthy, I could see happening).

it's justified that i think that given that they lost to them last year in terrible fashion.
and ur assuming that they wouldn't tank just enough to avoid playing GS. U can't back that up. at least i have reason to beleive it.
Honestly though, the Warriors are just fun to watch. They play with such emotion they are like a ticking time bomb. They have an uncanny ability to step it up against big teams. They are Giant Killers.
If they could meet the Suns....wow, good series.
Thanks for answering my question as to whether or not you watch basketball. You can't control what another team does or accurately predict what exact seed they're going to have 6 months from now.it's justified that i think that given that they lost to them last year in terrible fashion.
Yes, I am going out on a limb and assuming they are not losing games on purpose in order to affect playoff seedings that won't be determined for another 6 months. I can't "back that up."and ur assuming that they wouldn't tank just enough to avoid playing GS. U can't back that up. at least i have reason to beleive it
Holy - we're seeding with almost 70 games still to play?
Let me know how that works out for you.
well, i'm going to have to agree on what you said about not being able to predict EXACTLY how the playoff teams will be shuffled come playoff time.
But you can be accurate.
This is how the seedings will look:
san antonio
phoenix
utah
DALLAS
houston
denver
la
GOLDEN STATE
la and golden state is toss-up. so, whether golden state ends up at 8 or 7 - or even 6 - dallas can stay clear of them if they hang back at 4.
my arrangment of the playoff teams is a formidable prediction and as a result so is my "tanking" theory
yea. because as far as i know everbody kept pretty much the same team as last year. outside of a kobe bryant trade or major injuries i can't picture a playoffscenario drastically different from last year (other than Dallas not being the number one seed)
PHX vs. GS....................\
Dallas vs. Denver............/
Spurs vs. LA..................\
Utah vs. Rockets............/
I wish these could be the 1st round matchups.
They're the best team outside San Antonio and Boston so far.
I think 6,7, and 8 would look like:
GS
LA
Denver
So tough first-round matchups either way.
denver will come out of their slump once they get all their players back. i think they've got great potential in the west if they're healthy. they're, if we go by their history, a slow starting team. But once they turn the corner I think they've got a great team. they've got a great team and great potential. possibly a top 4, even 3 seed when it's all said and done.
it's a toss up between la and gs. i think la beats fro seed #7 when it's all said and ddoen though
What reason do you have for the Spurs lousy D as of late?
what about hornets...once they can remain healthy they got a shot of making the playoffs
