Which team is likely to be "upset" in the playoffs next year?

I think people--generally Spurs fans--grossly underestimate the Mavericks after their 1st-round loss. Last year was a fluke, and they'll be right back into the thick of things with Phoenix and San Antonio next year.

Which is ironic, since they of all people should give Dallas some respect. If Warrior fans want to take the Mavs lightly, they can do that after the playoff series and the last two years of results between the two teams.

All of the talk about the Mavs being soft and whatnot and how they're "permanently broken" and need to be broken up refers to a desire to see the Spurs' main nemesis disbanded. Oh yeah, I'm sure Spurs fan would love to see that. Mark Cuban will be sure to enter that briar patch.

no. its too much. Mavs have no resiliency whatsoever and are doomed for years because of that series. they will never recover and will never win a championship. i mean you cant regroup after a first round loss. its impossible. they will be forever mentally dismantled.

Yes, if there's one thing Cuban should do, it's listen to the folks at SpursTalk on what to do with his team. Their interest in this is naturally only to strengthen the Mavs for the purpose of strengthening the rivalry, and couldn't possibly be a desire to see the only team that can hang with the Spurs dismantled. I mean, it's a known fact that Spurs fans have extra-sensory perception and are all licensed mental health prac ioners.

Conclusion: So Dirk got the lucky roll in Game 7 last year. Proved to be a fluke, as the Mavs have only gone 8-10 in the playoffs since the "old and unathletic" Spurs "passed the torch" to them. Meanwhile, since the Game 7 loss, the Spurs have gone 16-4. And the championship.

Sorry, but a Dallas team who only went 8-10 since beating SA, shouldn't have its fans running their mouths. Dallas winning the championship is not going to happen, sorry. They look good on paper though. 67 wins

The only part I agree on is that GS over Dallas actually was a huge upset.

....and it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Just to see Cuban crying was worth it ...

God that was an awesome series.

I could have watched 100 of those games and never gotten bored.
