If the Mavericks and Lakers meet in the playoffs, the Mavericks will win in 7.
Quote me on it.
I was wondering if the Mavericks did not make the Kidd trade where hey would be in the seedings. I would think 1-3. This Kidd trade is just weird. Since then they could not beat a 500 or above team. Then they beat Jazz and Suns only to lose to Blazers and Sonics. Strange.
There in the playoffs and I doubt the Lakers or Hornets would want this as a first round match up. I will say it looks like the Mavericks beat themselves since Kidd trade. Kidd just does not look right with this team so far.

Pass me that hashish, Xylus.
I'm sorry. We traded Diop and Harris. We aren't the same anymore. This is barely a plus 500 team with Kidd.
All the talk from a lot of Mav fans about avoiding the Lakers...then two losses to Portland and Seattle.![]()
I think NOH will have something to play for the last game even if they are locked in the standings, they may want to draw the Nuggets instead of Dallas.
I would say they might rather face the Mavs. Iverson is much bigger of a threat than Kidd. Paul will have his way with both but Kidd can't return the favor like Iverson could. The Mavs are a one and out team. I'm convinced. Time to rebuild.
I like the mavs chances against the lakers than against the hornets.
Findog thinks otherwise but seriously I see the mavs playing better against LA.
I see the Mavs beating the Lakers in 6. Quote me on it as well.
Hi Bulls fan
I knew that would wake you up.![]()
If it goes to game 7 Kobe will win. C'mon now. In L.A.. Gasol, Odom is going nuts, that crowd. No , Mavs would have to win in 5-6. The question I ask today concerning the Mavs is "Whats going to change in a week to make this team win" I can tell you the Lakers in first round is not the answer.

you just want the Mavs to get rid of the Lakers for your Suns.
If Mavs and Lakers meet, Lakers in 5. IMO, Mavs have a much better chance against the Hornets.
Mavs would beat the Lakers in 5 if they weren't such a fragile bunch, coached by a moron.
The Lakers aren't.that.good.
It will be Spurs, Mavs, Suns in the WCF. 2 of those 3. Guaranteed.
They are a good regular season team because their players (except Kobe) get hot in a hurry and make a bunch of baskets. Those opportunities won't be there in the playoffs. I don't see in their team anybody able to deal with playoffs pressure except kobe,fisher and walton.
I disagree. The Kobe/Gasol combo is deadly. Odom is loving being the 3rd option and getting the weaker defender on him.
Hi, Bulls fan.
I don't think any team in the Western conference is superior to the others...there are 5 teams that have a legitimate chance of getting out of the west.
1. Lakers
2. Spurs
3. Hornets
4. Jazz
5 Suns
The rest are not really a threat.

How many times have we seen Gasol and Odom choke in the playoffs. What makes you think they will deliver under pressure. I'd trust derek fisher and walton more than gasol and odom.
Gasol had to be the man in Memphis. Teams were really keying on him but now his job is a lot easier. Kobe is the playmaker and Gasol is getting passes for dunks rather than having to do 1 on 1 stuff. Odom is the same story. He doesn't have to be a scorer and can focus rebounding and defense. Both are in their ideal situation as Gasol being the second option and Odom as third or 4th option.
True. Iverson will counter whatever Paul puts up. That little dude is still amazing.
Gasol didn't choke in the playoffs, you fool. Do you know what choking means?
Add to that, Lamar does NOT choke in the playoffs either. I don't know where that's coming from. Lamar is a warrior in the playoffs.
The Mavs chances to beat the lakers are slim to none! Lakers in 5! Book it!
