Avoid Lakers. Play anyone else.
Should they tank for 7th seed to play OKC or try to stay in 6th to face the Fakers. As a Spurs fan, I'm rooting the Mavs to end up in the 7th seed so they can either beat OKC or take them to a game 7 to wear them down. Durrant an Westbrook has been going full speed all yr long. Their juice gotta give out soon or later.

Tank for the Spurs. I don't know if they can win, but they can inflict serious damage on the Spurs.
If they can get the Clippers (by them overtaking the Grizz or the Lakers dropping to 4th), then that's better for them.
To effectively tank, they'll have to lose at home to a Golden State team that is tanking hard themselves.
Holy that'd take a Herculean effort to lose
Just start playing exclusively through Ian Mahinmi.
They traded it in the Odom trade, but it's top 20 protected. As of today, they pick 19th.
mavs ain't beatin no one in the playoffs tbh, they're getting bounced in the 1st round whoever they play
I think they could inflict serious damage on the Lakers, so let them in their current spot.
Serious Damage? Doubtful. But I agree they wont go down without a fight I think they take 2 games from LAkers, OKC or Spurs and have a real shot of beating Clips or Grizz tbh ...
It doesn't matter who they play, they're going to crash and burn either way.

Acting like the Lakers are that good that the defending champs can't beat emPau will get dominated by Dirk once again, Bryant will take 40 shots a game trying to prove Marion cant guard him, Bynum will average 5 touches a game, Barnes and Blake will be non factors when it matters most, Artest will play like.... well ... Artest and continue to take ill advised shots and brick em, Sessions will learn what playoff ball is all about. You know.... per the usual
What if both teams that are playing each other.. both wanna tank?
Imagine really bad passes and air balls. Oops did I tip it in by accident? It'd be like watching the wnba.
both teams got screwed
The Mavs are done. As painful as it is for me to say. What is amazing is they won it on their last possible chance before their age caught up with them.
I could care less what seed they get. They are one and done regardless.
