The Thunder might catch the Mavs in the standings

[bdreason]

Mavs do not want to play Denver in the 1st round. I think they could lose to Portland too.

The 4-5 and 3-6 matchups in the West are going to be the best 1st round series, no doubt.

The way the Mavs are playing, they'll choke their way out of the first round match up again.

They will lose to Portland. I think they'd rather play Denver than Portland.

God, I hope not. I really want the Blazers to play the Mavs in the first round.

No they wouldn't. Dallas would beat Portland in 6.

Possible shocking standings shakeup. Didn't see this one coming. That would be a 4 game losing streak for Dallas should they lose. What's wrong with the Mavs? Any injuries?

It's april.

Hopefully the Mavs continue to lose out.

1. Its a good wake up call to the entire franchise that they completely ****ed up again this year by not trading Butler's contract. Hopefully it will wake terry and kidd up

2. We would much rather play the Spurs than the Lakers if we do make the 2nd round

3. The Mavs are a good team. They just aren't a legit contending team. They have one star. They have a bunch of old players that wear down at this point like kidd and terry. They have no 2nd option, and their depth is over-rated beyond belief on here. Since when is roddy/barea/stevenson/peja/cardinal/haywood a good bench?


Mavs, as usual, ride Dirk's unbelievably consistent play to a good record.

No player in the game is winning anything with the supporting cast the mavs have. We had the chance to get Gerald Wallace for Butler and scrubs. We turned it down, and now we are playing peja and cardinal minutes at small forward. Just laughably bad.

Hopefully we drop to the 4 seed. I think we would ultimately beat the nuggets if we're healthy, but it will probably go 7. However, if Dirk isn't playing great, we have virtually no chance to beat anyone.

Same old story. Can't wait until Dirk retires and or leaves so I can stop supporting this joke of a franchise that has failed Dirk so badly.

Why so the Blazers can beat the Mavs then the Blazers get there a** kicked in round 2 just like the rest of the teams that put the Mavs out the playoffs?...

You don't see a trend here?...the team that put's the Mavs out the playoffs end up getting there a** kicked in round 2...what did Golden State, Hornets, and the Spurs get for beating Dallas in round one?...that's right an a** kicking in round 2.

I'd rather see them go at it in the WCF

Yes I believe the Thunder would beat the Spurs in a 7 games series.
