Mavericks = contender?

[JayCarroll]

Ugh, all I want to see happen is Dallas get knocked out. I can't STAND Dirk

Much like an STD, this sounds like a personal problem my friend.

how can you hate a team of lovable losers?

Revival of this thread is full of win.

true, though I wonder if there was just one person on this board that made prediction in 2011 that MAvs will sweep the lakers lol

anyway they deserve this success, I feel good for Kidd and Dirk, I'm a bit concerned how they would match up vs Heat if both teams make the finals... I hope someone else advances from east tho.

I remember this thread. I remember this thread. I remember choosing not to post in it because I figured I'd get trolled anyway.

Halfway there. Keep focused.

The Mavs are probably the team that could give the Lakers the most trouble.. So yes, they are contenders.

Dirk to me is the 2nd best player in the west btw.

Dang... genius.

I voted sweep in the poll, but I was just being optimistic.

[Striders]

They're the Mavericks,

This is too funny.

Didnt the Mavs get booted in the first round? And only got older? But somehow became contenders this summer?

Yes. Yes. and Yes.

at this point the only team I would bet on against the Mavs is the Heat, and even then I think the Mavs have a chance.

If Chicago, Atlanta, or Boston comes out of the East I would almost expect a sweep.

I don't think any team left in the playoffs will be swept in any possible series. Heck, people thought the Hawks had no shot vs. the Bulls (and also the Magic!), yet they continue to impress.

The Mavs look unbeatable when they are hitting their 3s. All teams that rely on their 3 point shooters are streaky and eventually there is a game or a stretch of games where they aren't falling and the team looks horrible. The Magic were a great 3 point shooting team and their shots didn't fall against the Hawks.

I dont see the point comparing the Mavs and the Magic. Their offense is like night and day.

The Mavs are MUCH more flexible. They can spread the floor, they can run, they can play iso ovr Dirk if they need to score, they can play ton of different PnR...

I am the biggest Mavs fan/homer and I still can't figure out this Dallas team. I have no idea what to expect.
