Holy . That article opened my eyes.

Better tank and hope the lottery balls go our way.

Harrison Barnes....our saviour

Wow, we are a sensitive bunch, aren't we? Who cares what he says? One man's opinion and it isn't that bad. The Mavs are playing great ball. They have a better defensive team than the Spurs. The addition of Chandler has been a great fit for them. Make no mistake, if the Spurs play them in the Playoffs this year they will not be an easy out. I do think the Spurs would prevail because of three things: 1. Much greater offensive fire power. 2. Our defense will continue to improve. 3. Pop is a much better coach and will make better adjustments during a 7 game series.

Mavs are behind the Spurs in the Hollinger ranking (Spurs > 109 or so vs 106 trailing only Boston by a slim Margin based on stats that includes factoriing the strength of schedule). http://espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/powerrankings

The Mavs had a differential of under 6 points per game and while they have played a slightly harder schedule than the Spurs the margin is not huge (and very similar over the last 10 games).

Meanwhile, the Spurs are leading the league with about a 9 point per game differential and a differential of 10 ppg over the last 10 despite one non effort loss to the Clippers. Moreover, the Mavs were hyped to beat the Spurs after there weak playoff loss last year.

Spurs also are have the better record, are missing their top draft choice, and have an incredible early season road record. Don't annoint the Mavs yet. They are a fine and solid team but statistically they are not world beaters - which the Spurs looked like in toying with the Hornets Sunday night.

What about the fact that the franchise he works for (ESPN) is investing a lot of money in hyping another team, which is the only team in the NBA that has a single coverage site on the network site. "Miami Heat Check"

Look in USA Today too. They have a Heat section every single day on their NBA page
