    In the East they'd be a lock for the playoffs and might even be in the mix for HCA in the first round. In the West I see four spots already taken by Spurs, Thunder, Clippers and Warriors. I see the Kings, Jazz and Wolves as the only really hopeless lottery teams. While I don't see them remotely as contenders at all, a throwback year from Kobe could have the Lakers in the mix for the last playoff spot. I think the Pelicans are only going to be better with Anthony Davis continuing his domination. It's not even remotely a mark of shame to barely miss the playoffs in the West.

    I think they underachieved under Coach BibleThumper. I'm not aware of anybody huge that they lost over the summer.

    Bogut is always hurt and they are a jump shooting team. They really don't have a high ceiling because of that.

    They will be in the playoffs barring major injury to Curry, and have a strong shot at a Top Four seed.

    They have the best shooter in the NBA on their team. They're always a couple of hot games away from sending any team home early.

    Yet they still lose. They would have a better chance if they had a healthy legit post presence so they wouldn't have to rely strictly on jump shooting. Post play is what wins in the playoffs.

    Who knows until they play the games and see how they gel? I say they are a 5th seed in this West, if not that 4th.

    They might be the 2nd best team in the west - unless the Thunder miraculously come up with a brilliant offensive system for Durant and Westbrook ().

    The Mavs are the strongest they've been since 2011 tbh. Big Daddy TC will be the difference maker once again. The biggest weakness lies in their big man rotation, Wright is now their only serviceable big man off the bench with Dalember/Blair gone, and even Wright himself is highly flawed.

    The Mavs are an overrated team the Spurs ed around in the first round thats why that series went 7. It really should have only gone 5. Tyson will do no better than what Dalembert did for the Mavs last season. The Mavs are a crap team watch them miss the playoffs this year.

    Every team loses, save 1. Because you lose in a playoff one year does not guarantee it for the next, especially for young talent. See the 2011 Mavs. I do agree they need Bogut to be healthy though, and that's tough. LeBron and Jordan have both won multiple les while originating an offense primarily from the wing. You could say the 11 Mavs won without a dominant interior on offense as well. It's not unheard of. I think GSW will be a tough out and would be able to possibly make a Finals run if the West wasn't beyond loaded.

    Are race deniers dumb or are they just too cowardly to admit the realities of race?
    Do you cheer for the black millionaires who are better than you on the mavs?

    If God had played a full year the Lakers make the playoffs. Whats worse is that your Great Aryan hope despite playing a full year will still miss the playoffs.

    It wasn't God's absence that resulted in the Lakers not making the playoffs, but pretty much the other way around imho. Lakers sucked major asses so your God quit, because he knew it wouldn't make no difference whether he played or not.

    Mavs are a 4th more likely 5th seed.
    Golden state is always overrated.

    It's spurs, thunder, clippers, then who the knows.
