Unpredictable

I wouldn't be shocked at all if they both made it

Mavs have won 12 of their last 18, Dirk is getting the rust off, and Carter is playing very well. They have a legit shot.

No we don't we've just beat some bad teams

Look at the schedule: most of the teams they play are bad. They have a lot of winnable games.

Well Utah didn't make any major deadline moves so the strength of their home court record alone should get them in.

Looking at the Houston schedule to close out the season I can't see why they can't to 45 wins, which makes the Lakers' task that much tougher.

Who cares who they beat, all that matters to enter the PO is the record. No one will remember who they beat for the 25th win, nor the 35th.

We only have about ten winnable games we'll win 15 if we're lucky that's still 40 wins won't be enough

You say that in every thread let it go it sounds ridiculous

I've said it twice, and in every thread you seem to want "your" team to lose, who sounds more ridiculous. Every thread that involves the Mavs you have yet to say anything positive. For a fan you sure love to troll your own team.

@entropy I'm not sure if you're flirting with me or what but please stop stalking my post I'm happily married

The refs gave them one tonight against Portland

Just looking at that sched... most of those are winnable for the Rockets.

This. The Lakers should be at death's door by now. Kobe's guarantee won't mean crap, if the refs don't help them out. Can't win one for Dr Buss, without external interference.

It's all up to the Rockets now, I think.

Don't know... What i do know is both those teams will get swept by Okc.

Lakers could beat San Antonio if they creep into the 8th spot. But unfortunately they won't get a chance, because every time they win Houston wins.

That's awfully presumptious, don't you think? You just got blown out by the Jazz, Heat and lost to the Rockets. At this point, I have the Spurs as favorites to come out of the West.

You also just lost to them, when they were healthy. That's why you need to knock them out, now. Don't even give them a chance. Don't even feel sorry for their injuries. They tried to buy the championship, and you were forced to trade away Harden. Now did they feel sorry for you? Dr. Buss' death...well, that's a separate issue altogether, though I fear it may have garnered some sympathy from the officials(all the more reasons to avoid them, the team that overcame adversity will almost always get the benefit of the doubt.)

You spelled spurs wrong

It's as awesome as it sounds.

Its definetly possible that Dallas makes it . Dallas won both games this year against Houston 1 With and 1 Without Dirk .

Houston has 3 games until March 3rd

Feb 23 @ Washington - Houston 2nd night of Back2Back on the Road
Feb 27 vs Milwaukee
Mar 1 @ Orlando

Then
Mar 3 vs Dallas
Mar 6 @ Dallas


Dallas has 4 games until Mar 3rd
Feb 24 vs Lakers
Feb 26 vs Milwaukee
Feb 27 @ Memphis - Dallas 2nd night of Back2Back on the Road
Mar 1 @ Brooklyn
Mar 3 @ Houston
Mar 6 vs Houston

Dallas needs to take both games against Houston
