    It seems to me that Dallas is the best team in the NBA with the recent losses by Detroit. Should the spurs or pistons be worried about the mavs.

    If you think the Mavericks are the best team in the NBA, you're not very bright.

    Mavs having a good regular season record is nothing new.

    Yeah a mavs team never has a chance. Even if they go 82-0.

    That was a stupid comment. The Mavs are not the best team in the NBA. Plain and simple. They're a very good team, don't get me wrong, but they are not the best.

    Dallas is for real. They defend extremely well... but they aren't better than the Pistons. They haven't proven they are better than the Spurs either, yet having split 2 at the AA with them.

    And then there are the playoffs. Now, that's a whole other discussion.

    This will be the best Mavs playoff team ever, that much is clear.

    What isn't clear is whether that will be good enough . . .

    Prove it in the playoffs...

    Until they do, they'll always be referred to as a great regular season team and a horrible playoff team. Kind of like Flip and coaching...

    I thought they were for real last year and then Dirk went and disappeared and disrespected everyone on his team. I'm not going to jump on their bandwagon just because of a hot streak, just like I'm not going to underestimate Detroit just because they've dropped 3 games in a week.

    For real. In years past they haven't looked like a team that can win in the playoffs. This team does.

    But isn't Avery Johnson 367-2 since taking over as coach?????????????????

    They're unbeatable.

    They would sweep both the Pistons and Spurs.

    Det excels in the beggining of the season
    Dallas in the Middle
    Spurs at the end

    Then there is a three way tie for first with 65 wins apiece and nobody having the advantage of a tiebreaker.

    Well if their healthy they will prove it. It all comes down to health in the playoffs. The teams that are fully healthy and have a great regular season usually win it all.

    That would be true if they ended-up in a Tarantino-style Mexican standoff.

    But the NBA tends to stick to old-fashioned one vs. another matchups.

    No team is fully healthy in the playoffs...


    IMO the injury card is an excuse...

    I said usually. BTW the suns lost Joe Johnson and they played a heavy series against the mavs while the spurs played the pretenders know as the sonics.

    Pistons have the tiebreaker over the Spurs.

    sonics were a rougher series than a fun and gun series vs the mavs. getting beat up is tougher than a running team allowed to play their style.

    I was correcting him. He said "no one has the advantage of a tie breaker". That is an incorrect statement. And the "spinny smile" was code for "it doesn't mean , but i'll tell you anyways".

    Tell Kobe that tonight. He had no fun so that run and gun thing wasn't a part of what he hoped to be.
