Mavs imploded and the Rockets kept being the Rockets.
Seriously, what the happened to Texas? We used to be feared. The dreaded Texas Triangle. Now it's more like the Bermuda Triangle where basketballs fly to and are never seen again.
Texas Basketball is at it's worst right now. We suck collectively. Injuries to the Spurs. Rockets in disarray. Mav's completely lost with Carlisle and Kidd.
All is not right on the courts in Texas!

Texas should secede anyways. Everybody wins.
whose state is it that's running out of money???
Cali would secede but they can't afford the closing fees
Well said.
Texas is one of the worst states in the nation.
write.that.down
We just needs our FEMA money.
A bit premature IMO.
Spurs- They're injured, what do you expect. Their core is still the best in the league, but do they have enough help? We'll see. You can't stay at the top forever though, they're on the downturn but that happens to all teams
Rockets-The talent is there... Battier hasn't played yet... 6 games into season again... BUT, I must say that T-Mac is not that good
Mavs- Just playing bad basketball right now. They have the pieces, sans a shooting guard... which may hold us back in the long run. Still can be a good team. IF anyone is interested in Stackhouse for his contract only, that can allow us to fill a void.
Even the Lakers and Celtics will have slumps during this season...82 games... it just so happens the 3 Texas teams are having theirs now. I think all 3 will make the playoffs
though.
MAVS TAKING DOWN LAKERS TUESDAY HEARD IT HERE FIRST!
One of us has to take down the Lakers
It doesnt matter wheather you beat them now or not. Theyre not giving up that #1 spot.
Im rooting for the Lakers to beat all the SW division teams except the Spurs of course

Season starts in May, and as usual, the road to the NBA le goes through Texas...
Uhhh ...no le goes through LA since we are defending WC champs NOT for our quick start ...
You need to win something once you beat us... It's been what? 6 years since your team won anything? And please, spare me of the premature ejaculation syndrome. The season is long and teams will get better. Again, wake me up in May.
Last time I checked it was LA that's always put the beat down on your championship hopes. Last year was no different and this year wont be either.
Texas is doing terrible because Republicans were ownd in the election.
when the spurs are competing for the lottery balls? sure
I said during the summer ONE of the Texas teams would miss the Playoffs, I might have been a little conservative.
There is a bit of a changing of the guard going on in the NBA.
Knicks will make the Playoffs
Hawks are playing....DEFENSE and will be a high seed, possibly going to the ECF. I wouldn't be surprised to see a hard-fought 6-game Finals featuring the Lakers vs Hawks.
Clippers will make the Playoffs
Grizzlies MIGHT make the Playoffs or end up 9/10
All three Texas teams are still very solid teams. Way too early in the season to think they'll be horrible. But, with that said, the Texas triangle is no longer the scary nightmare it was just a few years ago. Dallas' decline was evident the last couple seasons. And, while the Spurs are injured, with their collective age and the heavy toll they have faced going deep in the playoffs year after year, their decline was going to come sooner or later. Houston just can't shake bad luck and injuries.
I still think all three will be solid playoff teams, but it might not be the high seeds they are accustomed to, for any of them.
We always came back and won another one after that.
I surely hope so, that means we're getting our fifth championship.
Maybe a Texan can tell you how they feel. I'm not from over there...
We'll make the playoffs for sure. Wanna bet that we don't?
We need to get back to this during the All-Star break. I don't think the Hawks are for real, and I think a few teams will start slow and get better, and a few will start quick and drop down as the season goes...
Agreed. It's still way too early, just a gut feeling I have watching their games this year. I put the riskier predictions out there to hear the opposing views.
I'll reserve judgement on the Spurs until they're 100% and some of the new faces have settled in. Probably around Feb/March. Houston I think got better. It will take them some time to get their act together with Artest in there, but Scola is playing better, Artest looks good out there, Aaron Brooks has looked like a stud so far, and their biggest problem have been both T-Mac and Yao not playing well. I can't think that's going to stay that way forever.
As far as Dallas goes, yeah, I agree with you.
yea im going to ebet you. wheres ure offense gonna come from? duncan is all u have with tp and manu out. who on that team can make a open jumpshot other than mason? whos going to make plays for the teammates. who do you have off the bench?
before the season, even with manu out i had the spurs 4th but after seeing finley, udoka, bowen, and the rest of the cast, spurs have no shot of winning it this year.
