this one got you concerned enough to start a thread over it
I seem to recall a 13 regular season win streak last season and a similar run couple years back. Seems like the per usual event with no significant meaning whatsoever. I'm wondering if anything has changed or why we should be taking these regular season overachievers seriously come win or go home time?

Oh so nothing has changed. Gotcha.
Enjoy the 1st/2nd round exit then.
21 blessings, with the bads
This thread has AIDS.
Mavs are headed for the same outcome they face each year. Great regular season and first round exit. Its happen for years they should be use to it.
Some things never change... like Bynum
tee, hee
The mockingbird is often misunderstood by man. There was a common thought that the mockingbird would mimic other birds and animals to deceive them as a defense mechanism to avoid becoming prey or to master the deception to be predators themselves. But we have learned that while convincing to many men, the mimicked calls rarely fool the birds and animals that are being mocked. Injun experience tells us that the mockingbird uses the mocking calls as a way to attract females. The louder the calls, the more frequent the mocks, the more in desperate need of mating the mockingbird has. And by that I mean the more these Laker trolls mock other teams and players, the more they prove they don't get any pussy at all.

I hate to agree with the OP, but I'm afraid he's right.
The Mavs are a stellar regular season team, but I don't know who they are going to rely on to step up in the playoffs for them aside from Dirk. Sorry, Caron Butler is NOT a 2nd option. He's a GREAT 3rd option, but he can be shut down too easily and disappear. Marion is the same way -- great 3rd option.
Aside from Dirk, I have to wonder who the Mavs are going to get points from when the defenses really tighten in the post-season.
And to be fair, I worry about the exact same thing with the Spurs if RJ doesn't keep upping his game after the first 82 are played.
Well you shouldn't because in the Spurs case, they still have Manu, Tony, and Tim. They're all going to show up come playoff time no matter what.
mavs will not do worse than 3rd best team in the West when is all said and done. Pretty good, but they will NOT make the Finals.
All three of whom can be completely contained by collapsing into the paint. Unless Manu is hot from three, our offense founders. Last year against the Suns they literally just started backing off to contain perimeter penetration and pressure Tim to give up the ball.
If the Spurs can get RJ to be a legit 4th option in the playoffs and a couple players to knock down the three, then yes, we're going to be a near-impossible out. But we aren't there yet.
The Mavs have two things going for them - one the unparralled greatness as a big shooter in Dirk who is just unreal this year and by adding Chandler a smarter, better big to go with him.
That being said, Kidd will not take them deep - he is simply too slow these days.
I trust GHill more than RJ for this season's playoffs. Ghill tasted blood last year and I hope he liked it and he would like some more.
lol getting face ed by Goran Dragic
lol Mavs fans talking smack.
IMO this should be worrisome for the Mavs.
Dirk career season FG% was 50.2%... So far he is shooting 56.8%
If at some point his shooting goes back to normal... the Mavs may be in trouble.
I think the Chandler move was pretty underrated. With all the money Cuban has spent on bigs to put next to Dirk, Chandler is the first one in a Mav uniform with even half a heart.
Come on now, it's the Mavericks. They'll find a way to crumble when it matters most. The idea that a 7 foot jump shooter is going to lead a team to the finals is laughable.
the goods tbh
the mavs could win 35 games in a row. And still come into the 1st roud of the playoffs as an underdog.
lol ringless gots
