Mavs need to tank and go for 4th seed

it's kind of nice not being saddled with expectations.

So you'd rather the mavs play the lakers without home court in the wcf.

You're stupid.

Exactly what I was thinking. If your objective is to win the championship you'll have to beat them anyway so it doesn't matter. I would say he has his head up his ass, but this is so stupid it is more like he has his head up my ass and I'm about to wipe...

Mavs couldn't beat the Spurs last year with HCA and now they are worse while the Spurs are better and you want that?

I mean, I guess it's better than LA, but still does not look good.

If anything, they need to keep up their decidedly average differentials and eek out some more wins and keep HCA over LA. It's their only hope to win a series in the 2nd round imo.

If you honestly believe that the Mavs are worse than they were last year, then you seriously need to re-evaluate your basketball knowledge.

Without Caron, yes, they are. Again, the Mavs only broke 90 points in 2 of the 6 games vs the Spurs and they have now lost their 2nd best offensive player.

When I say worse, I should have clarified that I meant offensively. They are about the same as last year with the addition of Chandler (and the subtraction of Butler).

If you honestly believe that the Mavs are worse than they were last year, then you seriously need to re-evaluate your basketball knowledge.
