Mavs are hottest team in NBA??????????

[ChuckD]

doesn't really matter...SA has come home ringless the last two times they had HCA

And we ringed twice when we had it, '99 and '03.

Spurs have won 21 of 24 with many on the road. Yes Mavs hotter but the fact is the Mavs not picking up games on the Spurs at a fast enough pace to make a difference.

Hopefully the Mavs tire themselves out chasing the Spurs. If the Mavs somehow got the #1 but were gassed in doing so, and the Spurs were rested and motivated for the playoffs with the #2 seed I would be fine with that. Our record is great (obviously) but it isn't the main goal.

The Mavs have already said they're approaching the end of the season like the playoffs. Good. Go for it.

Nobody on the Mavs is putting up a ton of minutes. They're not going to kill themselves trying to catch the Spurs when all they've done this season is take care of their business. If they're treating the rest of the season like the playoffs it's just so they can keep up their intensity.
